If you want to listen to ham radio operators and some military traffic, then yes. Otherwise, no. Jackie |

says... I see sideband mentioned, do I need a sw radio with this capability? If you want to listen to ham radio operators and some military traffic, then yes. Otherwise, no. Jackie Or just about anything like fax, Rtty, sitor, fishing boats, aircraft, etc. BDK |

Or just about anything like fax, Rtty, sitor, I forgot about those; I assume one needs some sort of decoder attached to the receiver to make sense out of these transmissions. I haven't had much interest in these transmissions, so I haven't investigated it much. Can't hear fishing boats from my area either (the middle of the Great Plains). I occasionally listen for 10 meter beacons on my ATS-803A. Jackie |

"BDK" wrote in message ... You sure can hear fishing boats where you are, if the bands are open, even with a simple radio like a 803a. Sometimes signal strength is pretty high, and they boom in. They use (mostly) "clipped" ham rigs and can be heard worldwide. I know a guy who used to listen to them in germany, so you can get them too. Interesting. Actually, I am not that far from Lake Superior (about 150 miles southwest of there, in Minnesota) but I'm not sure if the iron ore boats on the Big Lake are using HF or what. I can check that out further. Thanks. Jackie |
What freqs are you picking up fishing boats? I'm 15 miles from Lake
Michigan .... |
In article ,
says... What freqs are you picking up fishing boats? I'm 15 miles from Lake Michigan .... Go to www.wun.com, look up the maritime freqs. The fishing boata are usually found above or below the "Official" freqs, since they just run wherever they want to. It's entirely a hit or miss thing. Listen for the New England accents. And the swearing/threats, etc. BDK |
