Re: [HCDX] Aerosmith on A.I.R.?
Quoting pioneer ten [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 12-4-03 This morning on 4970 at 1612 Aerosmith music! Rag Doll then when I checked later at 1624 it was Do the Funky Lady ? Has anyone ever heard rock on AIR? I think I've gotten this before. Signal was quite poor. Woman talking but couldn't ID language. Can you imagine some guy shelling out big cash for a cultural trip to India with visions of sitar music and incense stepping off the plane and hearing Aerosmith coming out some guys radio? I just can't picture Indians grooving to Aerosmith. Please tell me this is not India! This just may be the writing on the wall for shortwave radio... 73's The dxer can only log what the seat can endure 73s Pioneer 10 Last winter I listened to a english language local programme of AIR Shillong by name Western dance music. This programme contained wellknown western hit music, rock, disco, etc. The time was 16.00-16.30 UTC. Probably you have heard this programme from Shillong.

Re: [HCDX] Question about Minidisc recorders
At 20.24 08/12/2003 +0100, Max wrote: So, I am still anxious to know if there are already good minidiscs which don't produce this interference when they are connected to a (Sony ICF7600GR) portable receiver. Maybe the main problem is the receiver, or/and the cable, not only the minidisc recorder. I'm also using, when travelling, a Sony MZ-R700 with the old Grundig Satellit 700, but there is no interference at all with the recorder sitting 20 cm from the receiver and even with the recorder connected to the mains power supply. To obtain an audible level of noise I have to place the MZ-R700 exactly on the top cover of the receiver, 2 cm from the internal rod antenna and the noise is audible in the LW band and in the lower part of the MW. Nothing on SW using the internal built in aerial. I have also tested the connection with two others old ( very old ) portables : a Satellit 600 and a venerable Zenith 3000 : same thing, using a good homebrew cable ( well screened ) between the units I'm not able to notice any noise. I don't have any portable Sony receiver to put under test but I think that a modern portable set lack a serious internal shielding and rf filtering. Just to explain my personal experience, good luck!

[HCDX] 6th Russian DX Contest
Hi all, The 6th Russian DX Contest will take place in February 2004. Contrary to the previous ones, now it's a really international event. The Contest consists of two air-listening parts and a quiz. First of all, I invite everyone to participate. Then, if anyone can provide some prizes (of any value), that's heartly appreciated. I'd prefer any kinds of DX literature (historical books, CD disks, fresh editions of DX handbooks, subscriptions to payed DX services, etc.). If you have anything to offer, please contact the organizer at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm planning to create a special contest page at dxsignal.info, putting there links/banners of all persons/organizations who offer prizes for the Contest. The first link/banner will point to the DSWCI club -- I have already got an agreement with Anker Petersen on providing some good stuff for good contest performers. The rules are already online as a PDF file. See them at http://dxsignal.info/read/RDXC_en.pdf. The document is also available from my English homepage, http://dxsignal.info/indexen.htm. All clubs and DX editors are free to distribute this news. Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to translate the rules into other foreign languages. 73 see your contest logs, Dmitry ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out!

Re: [HCDX] Question about Minidisc recorders
I do a lot of recording with the MD (mostly all Sony's). I have heard the same once or twice in the past. Seems to me that the noise came from the LCD display, and then only if it was immediately adjacent the receiver/antenna. A few cm away, and the problem disappeared. I use a 1m patch chord, and have never suffered any interference that way. I agree Walter I have the Sharp MD-MT180 which I bought in Den Haag last year and I must say that it is prone to the odd interference. I find that moving the leads around and putting the mini-disk as far away from the receiver usually does the trick. I wouldn't be without mine. It is a great dx tool. In LP4 mode I can get 320 minutes of recording on a single disk. It sure beats the old C-90 cassette tapes. My only complaint is that if you are on a dx trip, then you need to recharge the battery on a regular basis. In the manual it says that you can record for 12.5 hours on a standard battery, however I find it less than that.

Does anyone know the location(country) of the transmitter for the VT Merlin test transmission on 9875 kHz?
