After TiVOing and listening live for TPs since the last 'window on Asia' back
on Nov. 19th, yesterday saw more than tempting, whispery, ghost-like vertical
traces running down the Perseus screen.
774kHz produced enough 'oomph' to give a little audio, albeit barely above

Could some of the list members suggest a decent receiver in the Used market
for AM DX? I have a budget of ~350-400 dollars. I'm using an RP2100 and a
DE1103 with slinky antennas or a tunable loop at this time, and would like to
substantially upgrade, if that is realistic within my budget.
Listened from 1225-1245. Below receptions on the u-shaped fence antenna
which favors the Northeast. With the temperature outside at -8.5 c or 16.7 f
the ewe was left laying on the ground. Very surprised to hear the stations
below, especially China on 1134 using the fence antenna.

Hi Group:
WAIS - 770, Buchtel (Nelsonville) Ohio noted off yesterday (12/10) and today
(12/11). Repeated calls to the station yield only a busy signal. The FM
(WSEO, 107.7) continues to operate w/its regular True Country format. This
outage could be wind damage-related, but I've not heard
It sounds like the FM is running an all satelitte driven format and the AM
is off.. and no one is minding the shop.

Yes, except that, unless the DXer is Muslim, he does not know for a
fact that the Chanter is reciting from the Koran. It could simply be
a religious song - the equivalent of a Christian hymn.

Hello Dennis, Walt, and Others,
Radio Farda-1575 played hide-and -seek with my modified ULR, 7.5' tuned
passive loop and MP3 recorder in the frozen back yard for quite a while, but
finally peaked with Arabic pop music around 0158, providing the best
recording I've ever been able to make of
Just got back to the radio and had a run through the dial, noting the
following with audio:
531 weak audio, sounds like Algeria
549 2 unIDs. One sounds like Arabic talk
585 Spain
639 Spain
675 Holland, with presumed Libya in the background
684 Spain
693 UK
711 France
756 Germany
774 Spain

Hi Dennis,
Normally, yes, 675 would be Holland, but I've been listening there
for the last half hour, and have been getting a mix of 3 stations, with
Holland, Libya, and Norway (just confirmed via the web stream) all
coming in. First time I've heard Norway on MW since the days of 1314.

We do tend to get pretty excited here on the west coast when the common
