Hmmm, not much DX until there was DX.Something very frustrating on 1377, pretty sure it was Filipino, but no useful webstreams, and just not enough in the actual recording. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. Man in JJ

Hello All, Our family will be leaving for an Oregon coast vacation tomorrow-- and after experiencing another dreary performance by lackluster Asians this morning, it seems like the perfect time to "leave the sinking ship behind." The only vibrant Asian audio was from the Korean big guns on 97

Thanks for the help on this one and it was BBC News and not CBC News. And it was KAWC in Yuma which has been heard many times. Bill Block Prescott Valley, AZ On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 1:06 PM, Barry McLarnon wrote: > On 04/04/2014 10:19 AM, Bill Block wrote: > >> I heard a UNID station on 1320 f

Richard, thanks for your observations on the Sangaen. I know you can often work miracles by putting the right filters in a radio. Regarding the Sony SRF T615, I've heard nothing but good things about it (save for maybe the cost, hi). If you're hearing all those Japan stations with it in Oklahom

Mike: The DT-400W receiver's primary drawback is its price. I notice retailers now list it for $69.95. I've owned mine since 2008 and pay less then. Like most of the smaller ultralight receivers, selectivity is occasionally a problem when you tuned to a weak signal adjacent to a stronger on
