WRN: What is ?
 

Hi,

Read about this WRN, world radio network, and being curious
I went to their site. Sure looks interesting, but still
can't figure out exactly what they do.

Do they re-broadcast foreign broadcasts from their own transmitters in
England ?

Or, ... ?

Thanks,
B.

Uh... it's on satellite, not on shortwave to the best of my knowledge. And yes,
they carry a lot of different broadcasters.

Your best bet is to contact them directly.

Available on Sirius Satellite and on C/SPAN 2 audio subcarrier as I
recall.

They have various satellite broadcasts and internet feeds and I
believe the CBC uses their service over night on radio 1. So if you
can pick up one of the CBC domestic shortwave transmitters on 6160
(I'm not sure about CBCNQSWS/RCSOCNQ) or one of the few remaining MW
outlets you might be able to get a WRN service that way.

Hi Robert,

They are a small dynamic organisation I visited a few weeks ago and are
based in south London.

They rebroadcast international shortwave radio programmes from many
countries over satellite and cable.

Uh..... what do satellite and cable have to do with shortwave radio, Mr. Terry?

Do you really think a question about
"world radio network" is off-topic?

Not really, but the question has already been answered, has it not?

And I was being *facetious* as Mr. Terry seems to want the board to concentrate
on shortwave.

You do know what a *facetious* comment is, do you not?

Now go tote your portable.

You really should show a bit more respect for your superiors.

Rgarding satellites, compared to the wavelengths of the wavelength
of signals between 1MHz and 30MHz, you must be admit that the
wavelengths of C-Band (3500MHz~4700MHz)and Ku band signals~11,000MHz
through ~13,000MHz) are clearly have short wavelengths, which will
makes them real "shortwave". The frequencies I mention for C-band
and KU band are approximate because different global areas have
slightly different bandplans.
And every cable system that I seen uses RF above 30MHz, again showing
the RF in question to be "shortwave".
Unless of course we wish to redefine VHF and above as shorterwave radio.....
