I did, for about 45 minutes, it was in German/French and I did not hear
anything close to the ID. They did have some English, but it was being translated. "N8KDV" wrote in message ... Jim Douglas wrote: Anyone know this, very strong/clear here in Dallas.

Are you sure you were not tuned to 13740? (VOA IS scheduled there at 0130)
What radio are you using, and is the frequency readout accurate? WG wrote: I guess that I should have included that. It was 5:48 pm Pacific time on 11/05/03. "N8KDV" wrote in message ...

I just picked it up again and yes they seem to have a very wide signal. I
use a Yeasu FT-100d with no AM filter. I seem to get them the best at about 13.750 MHz. I would say that the read out is bang on but perhaps without the filter it is throwing things off. I don't usually listen to AM but just thought I would give it a listen to help this poster out. "N8KDV" wrote in message ... Are you sure you were not tuned to 13740?

Yeah, that radio is a bit off. The poster was inquiring what was on the frequency of 13730 at 2315 UTC... not at 0145, big time difference! Especially in shortwave. "N8KDV" wrote in message ...

The radio is bang on or I would get complaints when transmitting. I didn't
see anyone else posting as to what this guy could have been listing to and that is what I heard on 13.730 MHz. What does this squabble have to do with helping out the poster?

What does this squabble have to do with helping out the poster? No squabble at all. Thing is though that you were not 'hearing' 13730 but rather 13740 and at at completely different time than what the poster was inquiring about. That's it, nothing more. Stop trying to make it into anything else. And, get that radio checked out, or learn how to zero-beat a station so you know what frequency you're reporting/on, that would be helpful.

A 'tighter' filter would clear that little problem up. I use a Yeasu FT-100d with no AM filter. I seem to get them the best at about 13.750 MHz.

In the "Blue Pages" you can look up a frequency and see who is scheduled to broadcast on that frequency at what time. Unfortunately any 'hardcopy' publication dealing with shortwave frequencies is prone to go out of date rather quickly. Not to knock any of these publications as there is a wealth of other information contained in their pages. But, one must be aware of their limitations and not be so quick to assume 'Station X' is the one being heard, rather it is important to listen for the ID or other clues to determine what the station is, then suddenly one discovers that it is actually 'Station Y' on the frequency.
