I hear it here in Chicagoland barely poking above the rising noise level. I hear music but can't understand anything the DJ says. R2000 & dipole.

Equipment / Re: What radio should a beginner get for shortwave listening (Under 90 USD)

Try looking at estate sale sites. A few years ago I got a used Kenwood R2000 for $100 at an estate sale. I also got 2 scanners for $15 each at that sale.

@ff and @EliteData,
Now that is just plain crazy. Don't the politicians in NY state have anything better to do? They should go after the thieves of wall street that made so many people homeless, penniless, jobless, bankrupt and hopelessly in debt.

Longwave Loggings / Re: Radio France Inter , Transatlantic Longwave DX of afternoon !!! 162 kHz

« on: February 13, 2016, 0118 UTC »

About 15 or 20 years ago I heard France Inter on 162 on a cold December night back before the noise level rose because of a multitude of digital devices. I was stationed in Germany in the USAF in 1968 and 1969 and remember it was on 164 back then before the worldwide frequency readjustment in the early 1980's when they revised LW down by two and MW up by one to be evenly divisible by 9 for each req. Here in the Americas we had nothing to do with the freq readjustment because our MW freqs were already evenly divisible by ten from almost day one.

WWV is on 60khz. That is what my so called "atomic clocks" synchronize to. Long ago WWV was also on 20khz but gave it up some time ago.
