Yes, but no longer directly from Japan -- all relays....not
like the old days when hearing the signal directly from
Japan was a real pleasure...

I can hear their broadcast direct here in English on 9695 and 11730 at
1130,
though the relay on 6120 is much better.

My two powerhouse stations here are R. Japan and R. China Int. I can hear
either of them on even the most rudimentary SW receiver, esp. on 41m., with
no antenna connected at all.

They are probably using the Sackville relay in Canada.

Would be interesting, considering Brenda's nowhere neat Sackville.

I remember sitting in waiting room at La Guardia airfield in New York
(waiting for a plane to St. Thomas) and listening to Radio Korea
International's shortwave signal on my little J-Win JX-M14 pocket
radio. :)

For me Radio Australia is one of those broadcasts that is an easy
catch, but still exciting when the distances are considered. And they
have some decent programming as well.

It is like that here too with Radio Australia. Funny how some things are
equal across the coasts and others are not. I could probably count the
number of pirates I've heard in the last 5 years on one hand. Of course,
they're all from back there towards the east coast...

Lousy Radio Japan. They owe me a new signal strength meter. They are
blasting in here to San Jose so strong on 9505, I can pick them up on my
1103 with the whip collapsed. Who said propagation was "sucky"?
Time
15:30

At times on the east coast Radio Australia is so strong in the morning
that any cheap portable with the antanna collapsed will catch them.


Australia can be easy or hard depending on time of day and frequency.

My location on the west coast usually means Radio Japan has a very good
signal unless the propagation is kinda um... sucky.


Oh no...the "S" word again...! grin

I'm glad to read that an old standby from downunder can be heard on
both sides of the U.S.

A Japanese gal ''bent my needle'' too in 1964.

I remember sitting at Love Field (Airport,Dallas,Texas) all night long
in December 1964 on my way back to Jackson and I was waiting on the next
Delta Airlines flight.And a dude over there went to the rest room and
came back out with his Class A Marine Uniform on.I guess he thought he
was going out and paint the town red with the wimmins.All I wanted to do
was get me arse back home from Vietnam.I got home and I slept for about
24 hours.
