You can always listen to BBC on the internet. It's free, and you
already have the computer.

Yes, but it's not shortwave.

You'll get the hang of it yet.

It's on satellite, it's on the Internet. 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.

For the record, David wrote the post you quoted, not me.

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.

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.

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.

KOAC AM 550 kHz @ 5KW :

Only 5 kw?

More International Shortwave Re-Broadcast Programming
can be heard on "Radio-One" CBU-AM 690 kHz out of

Not if you live where I do in Seattle. 690 has null in their pattern
pointing this way, and KIRO-710 is five miles away and 50 kw, and during
the day runs IBOC. (If DRM is QRM, what the &*(^% is IBOC). You can
get CBC-1 on 6160 kHz, but only until sundown.

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.
