I don't think he will ever get the fact that he's posting on a short wave radio news group. There are people out there that others will have nothing to do with due to their defective personalities. People that they have met avoid them at any opportunity. I figure that people like Jim or David post here just for some human contact. If they were in your vicinity you would have nothing to do with them but here people do respond to them even though all they do is annoy. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Anyway, it looks like I'm stuck with a) the Singapore relay or b) an FM station in San Francisco. I have dialup internet so the internet feed is not really an option, at least not until the house is finished and I get cable internet. I couldn't find program schedules on the BBC website-does anybody know when The World Today is on the Singapore relay? If that relay goes away then I'll have to break out the Tivoli Model One. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

You could try and see if you can get 550 kHz, KOAC out of Corvallis Oregon. OPB relays the the BBC starting fairly early at night. 10 or 11 PM weekdays. I couldn't find program schedules on the BBC website-does anybody know when The World Today is on the Singapore relay? You go to the World Service home page. About two thirds of the way down where there's a box for the schedules with a form/popup for city. Tell them that your location is someplace over there, like Manila. Then hit the button to go to the schedule pages. I find the whole week printable versions the easiest to use. It'll all get screwed up in the next week or so. Last change, they shifted some programs two hours UTC. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |

THE NOISE ! ~ RHF Hey, what was it like when KGEI was running? I had a friend up here with an old stereo who's speaker leads formed a half wave dipole for 6 or 9 MHz, and he freaked out when he could hear russian on his speakers. They were 30 or 40 dB over S9 when I tuned them in on my receiver. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |
