Despite a few fluff programs on BBC World (e.g. that automotive-related show), the content overall is actually pretty good, in my opinion. Given a choice between BBC World and BBC WS, though, I'd opt for the latter, as I guess you would, as well. I'm glad to see that Discovery and BBC World have entered into this agreeement to make available BBC World in the U.S. As far as television news networks go, BBC World has a profound and distinct content edge over the lame news (I should say, entertainment-posing-as-news) networks of CNN, MSNBC and FOX. junius I don't like TV news. The pictures get preference over the narrative. It is cool when something blows up, but other than that I have no use for it. |

**With my Sangean 606A, however, receiving WBJC is
a hopeless affair in D.C. proper and in Arlington and Alexandria counties.** I just tried a few minutes ago in Alexandria, with a DX-399, off the whip. I think that's the same as the Sangean 606A. WBJc does come in, but I had to walk around the room to lfind the sweet spot. Even then it was noisy. I got stereo reception using headphones, again with noise. You could tolerate it in the background probably. |

I wouldn't listen to bbc if they paid me.I am trying to figure out how
to sweet talk that Bell South woman next door out of that 1955 Chevrolet Cameo pickup truck she bought a couple of weeks ago. cuhulin |

FWIW - IMHO the BBC-WS News is less-liberal-slanted and
less-anti-american then most of the News and Information Programming that Originates from PBS and NPR or PRI ~ RHF |

Them "experts" out there tickle the crap out of me.Get about 150 feet of
skinny wire and put it up outside as high as you can.You can't do any better than that,,, unless you put up two 150 feets of wire so you can have North/South and East/West direction.And select between which wires you want to use by indepently unplugging and plugging into your radio.Flying Tigers movie is on tv now. cuhulin |

But it's not the only one. I like messing about with antennas and software to improve reception/dsp on my Ten-Tec Rx-320. If I did not enjoy that, I'd be more than happy with podcasts via WRN. When it comes to SWL, process is as important as product. What sort of software experiments have you done with the 320? I've used one for a few years and any new twist in programming would be fun to play with. mike |

Here in Dallas, KERA (90.1 FM) carries the BBC feed from local midnight
until morning when "All Things Considered" comes on. Even if the "Beeb" has a somewhat liberal slant, its much better listening than Art Bell's show, which seems to be carried by nearly every AM station in the country trying to find something to drive its tubes with during the middle of the night.

Nobody makes a 50kw transistor, but 200 250-watt transistors in push-pull-parallel will do the trick. Solid-state 50kw transmitters are by no means unusual. They're also a lot more reliable than tube rigs. We have a solid-state 6kw digital TV transmitter at work. It's amusing to pull out two or three power amp modules and see *absolutely nothing* happen -- the power meter doesn't even drop -- all that happens is you get an alarm on the control panel warning of the missing modules... -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
