Here's a quick ditty about S meters: http://ac3l.com/smeter.htm Your best bet to hear Australia is during our mornings here in NA. Check 9580 before 1400 UTC, and 9590 UTC after 1400. Other times are possible also. Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B |

You will find here a list of frequencies you can tune to for Radio Australia. http://www.ccrane.com/shortwave_frequencies.htm This site, http://ac3l.com/smeter.htm, as mentioned by Steve Holland, MI, will provide you with basic information about reading or how to read an S-Meter. An S-Meter is to a radio as a speedometer is to a motor vehilce, so to speak. Good luck. Myrton - N1GKE - "Find solutions, not fault." |
