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.

I think, in your case, something a little stronger may be necessary.
Thorazine or something...

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.

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.


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


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.
