Radio Japan bends my needle!
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 |

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...

I remember as a kid occasionally listening to Radio Australia during
the late nights/overnights. Good to know they're still around. -- Stephanie Weil |

What I find interesting about Radio Australia (really ABC, right?) is
how similar their news is to that in the US. Only the names are different. We had MZM and the Duke-stir, and they spent months talking about AWB.

I remember many years ago hearing Radio Japan in Spanish for Central
America. The strongest signal I have ever heard from Nippon Hoso Kyokai. I did some monitoring work for them at one time. One Christmas Day, I received a Mikimoto tie tack from them.

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 there might be a relay of Japan but it is direct whenever I check it on the schedule. Maybe you are thinking of Taiwan. You can get it direct or relayed from Canada depending when you listen. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

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. :) Stephanie Weil New York City, USA |

Radio Japan bends my needle!
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. cuhulin |
