.....but I was horrified to discover that the CODAR surface-wave radar sweeper, which normally bothers only WJCR on 13595, had shifted upward to range between roughly 13605 and 13655. Hope this isn`t permanent; why can`t it stay below 13595, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST).....
Thomas KN4LF Says: I heard same yesterday morning on 13655 kc but it was weaker then RCI. I also hear it on 4840 kc +/- from late afternoon through late morning. It sounds a bit different then the one on 13600 kc +/- though. Being Nostalgic: Speaking of programs on shortwave, about the only ones left that I regularly listen to are "Sunday Morning" and "Quirks and Quarks" both on RCI. I also listen allot to the endless parade of bizarre and unique programming on WBCQ while working in my website design business. I still listen to news on the BBC and at times the VOA but neither are impartial and independent. Otherwise in my personal opinion the programming quality on RCI, VOA, BBC and Radio Australia has really gone down the tubes. Also I really miss the many long gone low power 49 meter HF stations from Mexico, also 120, 90 and 60 meter stations from Central America like R. Belize, African stations like Botswana and Pacific stations like WSZO in the Marshall Islands, etc. I can remember when the tropical bands were jam packed with stations. I think that shortwave broadcasting was at it's zenith prior to the end of the Cold War and it's been all down hill since. 73, Thomas F.
