New To SWL
Hi im new to SWL, i recently bought a 10 section universal anteanna
(its about 1.35m long) for my Icom IC-R5 although im aware that the R5 isnt a dedicated shortwave reciver i have been picking things up from india, russia, japan and im quite impressed with the results however there are a few things that im not sure about. Someone told me to get even better reception i should try to tie a peice of copper wire around the top of my antenna and then run the copper wire up around my window can anyone tell me if this is true?, also i most commonly have been listening to "The Voice Of Russia World Service" however i have found that when i try to listen in the day time i cant pick it up also sometimes its changes frequency for example the other day i was reciving on 6.160 AM, but then a few days later it was 7.410 AM, can anyone tell me why this is? im located in the north east of england if that helps. All Help Greatly Appreciated {FireArm} |
