Need Freqs for Realistic DX-302 please!
Have been away from shortwave for years and just picked up
a very nice old Realistic DX-302 yesterday that seems to work perfectly. I have been listening to hams on 80 and 40 meters from as far away as Canada, Florida, Idaho etc from my Atlanta home with just an 8 ft of wire streched out horizontally. I need the freqs of the major SW broadcasters like BBC, etc I could listen too. Got a ton of foreign language stuff this morning but not sure what it was. Any tips on a longwire length would be good too. I can put up an attic antenna going east/west. Any tips on the DX-302 appreciated also! Will grounding the radio help much? Thanks! |

When I bought my first shortwave radio (a Sangean ATS-909) I also bought the
"Passport to World Band Radio". It was a great help to me in getting started in the hobby and finding broadcast stations. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846 After I became more faimilar with SW, I bought Harry Helms' "Shortwave Listening Guidebook". It's somewhat technical but very comprehensive. It really helped me get to the next level of the hobby. It also helped me understand a lot of the stuff that gets discussed here. :) Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books You migt want to check out the books section at Universal Radio.

listen to One of the bigger SWoperations (lots of frequencies) is Station WWV out of suburban Denver which provides 24 hours a day of quality programming, and most importantly in these of biased propaganda, absolutly reliable and accurate information. You can listen to them on the web at: http://www.mindspring.com/~cc25/wwv.html simply follow the link where indicated |
radioman is absolutely right! wwv broadcasts up to the minute
information 24 hours a day! in english! with a strong signal, great frequency stability and perfectly modulated audio, who could ask for more from a domestic station? (ahhhh hahaha!!! radioman you are such a joker! i thought i would **** myself laughing! what great advise!) |

WWV must have a lousy transmitter, though. It's rich in harmonics.
