My damn pc locked up on me on a bad burned cdrom,so my logs were lost. I heard Cedar Rapids and another Iowa station too. Heard the following cities all on the RX320 and 150 ft longwire. Biloxi Mississippi NYC Chicago Toronto ( French Canadian station ) Tulsa Oklahoma Atlanta Grand Rapids Michigan Detroit Michigan and a couple of others I can't remember where they were. Note that on the xband several times I was hearing two stations at same time,but never could get a clear id of one of them,. Wish like hell I hadn't lost my logs,it was a good night for me ,and most interestingly in summertime too.

Religious programme most propably in Quechuan mentioning "Nueva Esperanza" BRAZIL: Big number of Brazilian stations heard in the 60- 49-, 31- and 25 meter bands. Here4s few of them: -5970 kHz 2335 UTC R Itatiaia, Belo Horizonte with quite poor reception. Football, of course! June 18 -6020 2310 R Gaucha, Porto Alegre. Very nice reception with football commentary. June 16 -6040 0135 R Clube Paranaense, Curitiba giving "Radio Tupi"-ID! Was Tupi or Paranaense?! June 16 -6170 2335 R Cultura, Sao Paulo playing classical music without IDs. June 18 -11725 2145 R Novas de Paz Curitiba with religious programming. Noted almost all the 25 mb Brazilian outlets. June 23 ISRAEL: Galei Zahal - Israel Defence Forces Radio. It was a big surprise to me hear this station on so many MW-frequencies, all of them in parallel with 6973 kHz. The frequencies were: 1224- (Beersheba), 1287- (Tel Aviv) and 1368 kHz.(2 stns) Unfortunately I didn4t manage to hear Arutz Sheva. I tried both 1143- and 1593 kHz. I found R Mayak, Murmansk on 1143 kHz and R Yunost from Sochi on 1539 kHz. I was listening 2210-2245 UTC. June 23 GREECE: Several ERT outlets heard, the most interesting being KERKIRA ISL. on 1008 kHz 2346. The Dutch station was off. Others were Zakynthos 927 kHz, Komotini 1404 kHz, Rhodes on 1494 kHz and Chania 1512 kHz. Also heard an UNID pirate station on 1610,4- and 1613,7 kHz in two different nights. It4s the same station. CYPRUS: R Canada International broadcasting in Arabic on 1233 kHz via Cape Creco tranmitter. Heard several times 2115 UTC with strong signal. Must be coming from Cyprus. -990 kHz R SAWA fighting with DLR Berlin. Heard around 2130 UTC. CROATIA: Voice of Croatia in English on 1134 kHz 2215 UTC in parallel with 1125 kHz. Later Spanish heard. TOGO: Glad to note RTV Togolaise is active once again. Heard this old friend on 5046.7 kHz 2115 UTC. June 17 AUSTRALIA: VLA8 Alice Springs on 4835 kHz struggling with Mali 2132 UTC. No positive ID. Must be Alice Springs. WRTH gives bc hours 2130-0830 UTC. Never heard this station before. June 15. UNID: Religious programme on 1539 kHz til 2130 UTC. After that "nacht musik". So tx is in Germany. Unfortunately my attempts to find info from EMWG failed for some reason. I couldn4t download the file. UNID giving "Radio Continental"-ID on 6155,05 kHz 0107 UTC. Maybe I missheard, reception was poor. Could be Banda Oriental from Uruguay? UNID: 828 kHz. R Svoboda-ID here 2143 UTC. QTH? DX-ing was fun in North Karelia in spite of bad weather we experienced. Last summer was hot and dry, this has been so far wet and cool. I enjoyed DX-ing with "proper" outdoor antenna and excellent rx. We4ve booked the same place at least for a week August 2004!!! 734s de Jouko Jouko Huuskonen Kesaelahti/Turku SUOMI-FINLAND RX: AOR 7030+ ANT: 30 m lw -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This compact unit, described at "http://www.tentec.com/TT320.htm";, runs off a 15 VDC wall-wart and connects to a PC through a serial port control cable. If audio is to be transferred to the PC's sound card, a separate audio cable is connected for that. Alternately, you can connect headphones or a speaker directly to the radio. The supplied software provides a simple-to-use graphical user interface. One cool feature is the spectrum chart, much like the old Heath panadapters or a rudimentary version of spectrum analyzers used in professional test and measurement labs. There were a few things I wanted to do that I couldn't figure out. Apparently a recording function is not integrated into the software. I wanted to record MP3 or WAV files straight from the receiver software without having to open up other software. Another thing I want to do is have the receiver take in an Excel or tab-delimited text file of times and frequencies for unattended "robot" DXing / recording. Maybe DXers, on their own, have developed C/C++ or Visual Basic code that can do exactly what I want. This would be to record desired frequencies at specified times / dates and also put out a data file consisting of signal strength readings. I could use the receiver as a propagation analyzer or spectrum occupancy study aid. Nick Hall-Patch has done this successfully with another receiver. Conceivably, software could be structured to make decisions such as "If you find this, then go look for that, otherwise go to a different test to decide what to do next". Such disciplined scanning would simulate the actions of a real-life DXer at the dials. Who knows what goodies you might find in the morning on your PC in the MP3 and data summary files if you have this capability ? All this said, how did the receiver perform ? On its built-in whip antenna, a lot of PC, TV, and other house-based hash & oddball buzzy carriers were noted. On a real antenna, fortunately, all that went away. Reception was quite similar to the Drake R8A without its preamplifier engaged. Since I was using a Flag antenna with fairly low output, some daytimers receivable on the R8A (such as CHTN- 720) were in the noise floor on the RX-320D. With a less efficient antenna such as a Pennant or Flag, an extra 10 dB of low-noise preamplification would be a great thing. Since this radio is touted more for shortwave than medium wave, sensitivity was probably ratcheted down a bit since SW antennas tend to be much more efficient and closer to a resonant length. I did not note any spurs / intermods, not bad since 50 kW WRKO-680 is less than 3 miles / 5 km away. Even 1360 (=680*2), a perennial overload channel here, had clear WLYN instead of the WRKO overload that my car radio gets. With a bigger antenna, or an amplified one, I might not be quite as lucky. The fast AGC setting didn't seem quite fast enough for quick adjustments of loop, phaser, or variable termination resistance derived nulls. There's a bit of lag time on the PC screen "S-meter". The IF filter selections were good and they seemed effective. I would have liked DSP based continuously-variable bandwidth, but what can you expect for $300 ? It will be interesting to set this up during a decent opening and bag some TA's with it. Its need for the laptop and a +15V supply probably means that I won't be using it in the car on mini-DXpeditions to the seashore. Running this arrangement in a dark, cramped, and (often) cold vehicle doesn't seem likely. Use on a house-based DXpedition (e.g. Cappahayden, Grayland, Chamberlain, Miscou Island, or Sheigra) could be worthwhile however. I'm not sure what the airport security people would make of the little black box. Having the radio integrated to the laptop can be a good thing since logging programs, Geoclock, Euro-MWLog and Pacific Log PDF's could all be accessed. John Bryant, Nick Hall-Patch, and the rest of the Grayland crew have certainly proved this. The D model is supposed to be usable to decode DRM broadcasts. For a review of an earlier version see "http://www.anarc.org/naswa/issues/1298/equip1298.html";. Once I get the unattended recording schemes worked out, I'll be having a lot of fun with this radio.
