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.

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.

Can you get WBJC where you are? I have heard it on a car radio as far
south as Culpeper VA.

Classical music is the best thing the public service stations around
here have in their favor. There is only one commercial station in LA
using the classical music format.

**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.

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

Around here they mainly do jazz, especially the college station WDCB.
It's wonderful.

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.

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.

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.

I was under the impression that most commercial transmitters used tubes.
I don't think a couple of 2n2222 transistors could handle a 50 KW output.

There are a couple that are mostly jazz here also but I listen to them
very infrequently. Sometimes what they play is OK.

AFAIK there are solid state high-power transmitters out there.

The only stations that still use tubes for AM are the poorer ones.

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...

Neat. It's like a redundant array setup for hard drives.

Sort of. The distortion goes up and the remaining devices are put
under extra strain.
