I take the time to post dx logs, and they're ignored, except by Tebo who
corrects one of my assumptions. But people who post off topic get
zillions of responses, most of them childish insults from the likes of
Ace. David never lacks for attention. But my logs? ZZZZZZZZ (apparently)
Is this REALLY a shortwave radio group? Or just another place for people
to insult each other and act passive aggressive?




I used to post my "speed logs" all the time... For the most part, there was
nothing all too interesting about my speed logs because I was just listing
the "big boys"... No surprises.... Ya know ??? So... For now, I only post
the odd stuff I come across... Problem is, I cant hardly ID all the odd
stuff... I'm always picking up stuff from Central and South America that I
cant ID using the lists I have... Especially between 7:00 and 10:00 UTC.
Great time to hear all sorts of odd stuff here... Problem is....When I ask
for help or info ID'ing a questionable signal, I get some arrogant self
important DX JACK-ASS telling me to learn how to use my radio....

Actually, if a signal isn't beamed to my area I consider it to be DX.
Even if it is VOA. I hear a lot of Asian domestic SW from here in
California, and rely on the lists to tell me what I'm listening to
because I can't decipher Chinese much less Laotian (the Radio Free Asia
log I had). I AM disappointed that I can't seem to hear anything from
the Middle East here, considering how "hot" that region is in political
terms. I used to be able to hear morning prayers and Quran readings live
from Saudi Arabia on 15170 after 0300, but not now. I've NEVER heard
Iran in English, which I'd like to (my only log of them is in Farsi). If
you look at my log that I recently posted, you'll see VOA and RN and RA
and the big boys, but you'll also see CNR in Uighur (according to
Passport, where DO they speak Uighur anyway?) and RFA in Laotian (only
heard them in Chinese previously). And you'll see Indonesia and other
Asian countries that you just can't hear on the east coast. (Similarly,
I usually can't hear Africa.) I'd love to listen between 0700 and 1000
but I'm asleep then, it's the middle of the night in California. As for
South America, transmitters change hands often down there and the
station names change too, so don't be surprised if you can't ID
something in Spanish. Fortunately, you can learn some Spanish at your
local community college, which will help you ID these stations.
