At second: Beware of N8KDV (Steve Lare) and mwbryant (Michael Bryant). Both known to keep everything to offtopic and posting under various names. Please do NEVER ask a question or respond to them in any way. OK. I bought a Grudig S350, comments, thoughts, suggestions? It's an 'appetizer' just fine for a beginner :-) For sure you want to upgrade to a tabletop receiver within a short time when getting deeper into the stuff. Your first upgrade may be an outdoor antenna. Just take a wire length of 10' to 20' connected to the whip antenna with an alligator clip.... I live in USA, Florida, Panhandle and I really want to catch up on world news and the local cultures and going ons of various countries, can someone help me out and toss a newbie a bone or two? OK.Here's a first bone ;-) A free database for shortwave broadcast: http://www.ilgradio.de/ilgradio.htm I also understand Morse code as well as the next boy scout, but some of it I seem to be picking up seems to be bursting out so fast that I'm starting to think it isn't even Morse code, is there some other high speed data burst stuff going on or am I just really clueless to Morse code? A second bone ;-) On this site you will find a lot of stuff for decoding morse code and digital modes on shortwave with computer and soundcard: http://www.muenster.de/~welp/sb.htm also any truth to the half murky stuff about random M/C popping up at random places and times across the world and no one know exactly what the **** is going on? Thank You. Zaphod "stil prez, stil a newbie" PS. I think that shortwave radio is kinda like the internet only for people who have imagination. Am I wrong or a snob? You are wrong and a snob :-) Best regards from Berlin/Germany. |
