Does Israel still use a frequency around 11603 khz for English language
broadcasts. I know there is one around 7500 or so.

I thought you needed a subscription to listen to Sirius.

You have a choice. You can listen ''free'' (most days) on a $500
radio with a 50 foot antenna, or, you can listen for $13/month on a
$20 dollar radio with a bean bag size antenna.

The content is the same, but there's big difference in audio quality
and link robustness.

There are at least 2 kinds of shortwave listener. One just likes
fishing for stations and doesn't care abgout content. The other is
interested in the voices from afar. Some of us are a little of both
and have the widest possible range of receiving options.

Oh, so you *do* need a subscription. That's what I thought. Oh
well...there goes that idea.

And just so you know, it's trivially easy to find a real radio that
costs less than $500. Just go to Universal Radio's website....there are
tons of them. Amazon.com is another place you could check, or ebay for
that matter.

Right, I guess the audio quality must suck with those dropouts
occurring all the time.

If you think these are the only kinds of listeners, you haven't been
listening very long. I suggest that, instead of listening to the
"voices from afar", you get some help for those voices in your head.

Hi,
There are a few listings for Israel broadcasts to North America on
www.primetimeshortwave.com . I would like to receive it out of
curiosity for their news on Ariel Sharon. Each time in the past two
weeks that I tried to tune in, I haven't picked it up. The schedule on
primetimeshortwave can be confirmed he http://israelradio.org/sw.htm
(although I just emailed the primetimeshortwave maintainer to note that
a frequency listed for North America appears to be targeted to Africa).

Has anyone had luck receiving an English broadcast from Israel?

Hearing them at a decent level here this afternoon on 7545 at 2000.
