Maybe I missed something in the article, but I didn't read that BBC was shutting down; only that they were moving to a new location.
I was also unaware that CBC had gone silent on the shortwave bands. Last time driving north from Bakersfield on Highway 99, I noticed that the VOA towers were conspicuous by their absence. We used to be able to see them for miles. Luckily, one day that we were at the International DX Convention in Visalia circa 1999, we drove out to the site and were given a tour by a friendly engineer who was on duty at the time. Which reminds me - I had intended to monitor the "Night of Nights" message from KPH last Thursday, when I realized that not one radio that I have has general coverage. Even with years of technological advances, I always favored those that were for the ham bands only. Classical thinking was that designing otherwise would degrade performance on the ham bands. Times have changed. To bring things back on topic, it looks like I should order the bandpass filter for the K3 so that I can tune through the shortwave bands from time to time. 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW On 7/16/2012 2:27 PM, David Moes wrote: > Sad to see the national broadcasters like BBC and recently CBC (Radio > Canada International) leaving the shortwave bands. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
