General Radio Discussion / CFRX Status
« on: December 17, 2013, 2308 UTC »
I emailed CFRB asking about CFRX 6070, and got this reply:

Quote

I sent another e-mail to the engineers asking about it myself but haven't heard back from anyone.  I know with the recent takeover by Bell Media, there are lots of changes going on, one being a complete move of the CFRB studios, along with the 2 associated FM stations, to a location deeper into the Toronto downtown core.  This would present a major engineering task so its possible that's what's putting CFRX on the back burner.

I await like everyone else.  Thanks for the interest.

« on: December 17, 2013, 2032 UTC »
OAKLAND, CALIF. –  Harold Camping, the California preacher who used his evangelical radio ministry and thousands of billboards to broadcast the end of the world and then gave up public prophecy when his date-specific doomsdays did not come to pass, has died at age 92.

Family Radio Network marketing manager Nina Romero said Harold Camping, a retired civil engineer who built a worldwide following for the nonprofit, Oakland-based ministry he founded in 1958, died at his home on Sunday. She said he had been hospitalized after falling.

Software / Shortwave Broadcast Schedules Beta 0.0.2b2
« on: December 14, 2013, 2137 UTC »
New update to the app:

Shortwave Broadcast Schedules helps the SWL find shortwave broadcasts to listen to, as well as identify the station that is tuned in. You can double click on an entry to tune your radio to that frequency. You can also manually tune your radio, and the list of possible broadcasts will scroll along with the frequency, helping you identify the station.

It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, as well as linux.

New to this version:
You can download the latest EIBI CSV schedule file from http://www.eibispace.de/ the direct download URL for the current latest version is: http://www.eibispace.de/dx/sked-b13.csv
Rename it to sked.csv.txt
And place it in the same directory as the application. The app will look for it at launch. If it finds it, it will use that file in place of the schedule that comes with the app. When it finds the file, it will display a message indicating that, so you can verify it was read.



If you'd like to try it out, you can download a copy using the following links:
