ALL DAY WEEKENDS

"I don't believe we've met." So, I'll introduce myself. Many of you will have read my
SPEEDX Western Hemisphere loggings column, now a long-running series (4À5 years). Some of
you might even remember when I was Europe/Africa Editor for the ASWLC, from 1973 to 1977,
(but I wouldn't bet on it!). You are now witnessing history -- I am the only person who
has been an editor for each of the three major shortwave clubs (ho-hum, so he's a maso-
chist!) In any case, I am almost 30 years old, a computer operator/word processor for
a tab house in New York. I've been DXing since 1970 or so, and consider myself a much
better editor than a DXer (shhh! that's a secret!) So, here we are! I'd like to thank
John Moritz for his yeoman service over the last several years as SUC editor, I'd also
like to thank Bill Oliver for offering me the post, and I'd also like to thank Stu Klein,
gh, and others for their kind words of encouragement and pleasure over my appointment.
(Gee, it almost sounds like I'm leaving before I've really begun, doesn't it!)

GROUND RULES FOR SUBMISSIONS

To keep sane, an editor -has to have some standards for submissions. I'll keep mine brief.
Submissions can be printed or typed, but should be double spaced. If you want acknowledge-
ment of your submission, a SASE or SAP (self-addressed stamped postcard) should be included
Anything which requires a reply from me should be accompanied by the aforementioned SASE.
Submissions become the property of NASWA, and will not be returned unless specified, with
the aforementioned SASE with sufficient postage.

The main requirement, however, is that NASWA members submit articles. We want your parti-
cipation to continue the tradition of SWC excellence in its field.

The first submission this month came in an unmarked manila envelope. After I'd read it,
I knew every MASWA member would be interested. So, I present...

THE JOB INTERVIEW

My heart beat much more quickly than normal as I walked inte the spaciously appointed offi-
ces of the IWWDXA for my job interview. I knew chat chances were slim that I could get
my old job back, as I'd gotten into a bit of trouble a few years ago and been exiled to
the outer darkness (an island in the Pacific, sans electricity, sans natives, sans radio).
When I do penance, I do it right. I'd been away from my job as critic extraordinary for
the IWWDXA for such a long time that I feared I'd lost touch. I hadn't heard anything oven
a loudspeaker for quite a while. Radio might have changed -- the club scene might have
changed -- shortwave listeners might have changed. I could be a walking, talking, dodder-
ing old fogy, interesting only as a DX anachronism.

As I passed the battery of IWWDXA monitors busily listening to the world, my breath caught
in my throat. I could hardly believe my eyes -- these were radios? Digital readouts,
mechanical filters -- and all available to the average listener? I nearly turned back in
shame -- I could never cope with this new scene, I thought. My Hammacrafters Super-Space-
Whiz receiver, with readout accurate to + 100 MHz, could never compare with these real
super-whiz radios. My Hallafacters DDX-007, with the real charcoal filter that w3uld sepa-
rate stations 25 kHz apart with the greatest of ease, was just trash. I hung my head and
wept

Just then the public tour of the premises rounded the corner, and I joined up. The tour
guide gave us the chance to listen in on some of the monitors. I marvelled at the profu-
sion of stations I'd never heard of before -- WYFR, WRNO Worldwide (worldwide??), Radio
Moscow World Service (so the Reds had finally taken over Britain!) When I ventured to ask
the guide whether anyone listened to Radio New York Worldwide anymore (one of my favorites)
the children on the tour began to point at me and laugh. Their elders hastily gathered up

Page 2
 their progeny while muttering things like "Where's he been -- on an island in the Pacific?"
I took this opportunity to slip into the nearest broom closet and let the tour go by, but
as their footsteps receded into the distance t heard the guide say, "And here's the original
TWWDRA hectograph -- the first several years of the bulletin were printed on it. The orange
gelatine is still good -- here, sonny, want a taste...?"

I finally got to the offices of the head honcho of the IWWDXA -- my successor. He'd only
been a section editor, but after I'd hastily decamped for Oceania, he'd drawn the short
straw and eagerly moved into my office. Well, moved into my office, anyway. The Chairman
stood up and looked at me. When I gave him the requisite nod of the head, he smiled and
said, "Well, you're back." I replied, as humbly as I could manage (and I can out-Weep Weep
when I want to), "Yes, and I think you should hire me back."

"Why should we? After all, you were deposed formally by the Board of Overseers for various
offenses, such as being too smart for your own good, being a wiseacre, and not conducting
yourself as befitted the Chairman of this great organization. Besides, you took the trea-
sury with you when you left."

- I said the first thing that entered my head, which was, "But Chief, I was the funniest
journalist on the staff." He considered chis, and replied, "You're right about that, I
guess. And don't call me 'Chief.'"

He got out of his chair and began to pace the carpet, first speaking in a conversational
tone and then shouting as he got into his stride. "Come on, you're too old, too out of
touch for this game! What do you know about the modern shortwave listener or the modern
IWWDXA, with its thousands of subscribers, thousands of dollars, and its professionally
printed buUetin?" (An image of huge hectographs, supplied by the Gelatine Company with
thousands of tons of trembling product, ran through my head at this point. I suppressed
it with an effort.) The Chairman continued: "Tell me, what do you think you can write
about?"

"Chief. I'll bet I can write you a piece of lasting journalistic value about the feelings
of a 'Rip Van Winkle' DXer suddenly waking up in the New Age of DX. In fact, I'll write
it up now, and have it down to the presses in ten minutes."

The Chairman stood up and smiled grimly. "I'll give you ten minutes to fill the gap I have
in this month's issue. If you write something good, you get your job back. If it's tripe
(as I feel confident it will be), you get ten minutes to get out of here before I call the
security staff to kick your derriere all the way from here to Nibi-Nibi." He gave me an
enormous, white, terribly BLANK piece of paper, and turned to leave the room; as he went
out he turned to face me, his jaws trembling and his face a livid purple, and screamed:
"And DON'T CALL ME CHIEF!" The door slammed, and I began to type.

So, if you're reading this in the IWWDXA's journal, now called WHATZUPDX, I understand, I
got my job back. If you aren't reading this, you can write me in care of Nibi-Nibi and
tell me all about it. You might send me a pillow, too -- the security staff wear Army
boots. (Just kidding fellas1)

And, finally, you can sign me -- CHARLIE LOUDENBOONKR.

Accompanying the above was a short note, scrawled on a paper bag, to the effect that Char-
lie has learned his lesson and will no longer practice the argumentum ad hominem style of
satire. Besides, the climate in Oceania doesn't suit him. We look forward to his future
participation in SWC.

JAPAN RADIO COMPANY'S NCM-515 FREQUENCY CONTROLLER

(submitted by Frederic J. Osterman. NCM-515 is a trademark) Japan Radio Company (JRC) has
been a respected name in marine communications for several decades. Recently they have
also been involved in radar, satellite navigation systems, commercial communications, and
industrial/medical electronics. This company has become increasingly involved in the ama-
teur and shortwave listener market as well. Just over a year and a half ago they intro-
duced a general coverage receiver called the NRD-515. It has become a popular radio with
serious shortwave DKers worldwide. I have been using the NRU-515 for one year and have
been pleased with its performance. Being primarily a "utility DXer" I was especially
attracted to its excellent stability, which is so important when listening to CW, RTTY,
or FAX. Most NRD-515 owners would agree that one of the key benefits to using the NRD-515
is its ease of operation. Tuning is simple, fast, and absolutely accurate. Additionally,
there are 24- or 96-channel memories available. With all this tuning convenience I was
surprised to learn of something new to make tuning and frequency entry even better and
faster.

The annual Dayton Hamvention is the biggest "bamfest" in the world. Electronics companies
often use thts event to preview or announce new products. This year JRC introduced

Page 3
a new product of special interest to the shortwave
enthusiast. The item is called the NCM-515 fre-
quency controller. The NCM-515 is a hand-held
keyboard entry/display device to facilitate fre- • •
quency entry and tuning into the MRD-515. This FRIOUVOCV
controller resembles a large hand-held calculator.
The cord connecting the NCM-515 to the NRD-515 is

21.39 1
-10
Mel
6 feet long. It attaches via a special adapter
(supplied) to the memory port of the MRD-515.
Yes, you may attach the NCM-515 at the same time lab
your 24- or 96-channel memory is attached.
Installation takes about three minutes and
requires only a screwdriver. You do not have
to go inside the N.D-5l5 to install this device.
The controller derives its power (+10 VDC @ 100
ma) from the receiver. It has a standard cal-
culator keyboard with an audio response tone
as well as a six digit LCD display. The unit
measures 33
/ x 51
4 / x 11k.

The NOM-515 has several modes of operation:

For keyboard entry of a given frequency simply

turn the unit on, press the "P/MA" key once (dis-
play will show 0.0) and type in the desired
frequency in kHz, then press the "=" key. Sample
•
legal entries will be: "15070.0=" or "15070.="
or "15070=". Illegal entries will show "E" on

NCM-515
the display. In the remote mode you have taken
control from the NRD-515 and its MHz and tuning
know are now inoperative (RIT is still function-
al). All frequencies on the keypad will also
be displayed in the NRD-515. To enter a new
frequency simply key it in and press "=". There
is also an add and subtract function: if you are at 15300.0 kHz and want to nova to
18350.0 kHz, simply type: " + 3050.0=".

Whether or not you have the NRD-515's 24- or 96-channel memory unit you will now have the
ability to store 4 frequencies in the controller itself. To store the frequency you are
presently on, simply press ''M" and either MI, M2, M3, or M4. To recall any of the four
memorized frequencies in the future, simply press MR followed by Ml, M2, M3, or M4. Note
that when you turn the NOM-515 off you will not lose the memories stored in it, but
turning the power off on the NRD-515 receiver will erase the four memories.

There is a LOCK key on the NCM-515 which works exactly the same as the LOCK key on the
NRD-515. Press once to lock, again to unlock. The status of the "LOCK" is also shown on
the LCD display of the controller.

The most interesting and unexpected feature of the NOM-515 is its ability to automatically
tune up or down (slew) at different rates. I found myself enjoying this feature as much
as standard keyboard entry. You can slew by 1 kHz, or 100 Hz, increments, in either FAST
or SLOW mode. The resulting rates of tuning are: 1000 kHz in 16 seconds in Fast, 66 sec-
onds in Slow mode in 1 kHz steps; 160 and 660 seconds in Fast and Slow modes respectively
in 0.1 kHz steps. The "SLOW," "STEP 0.1" is nice for just scanning across the band. The
keyboard input combined with the 4 tuning ratas essentially eliminates any need (or desire)
to tune manually.

The NOM-515 also provides a very fast and effecient means to program your 24- or 46-channel
outboard memories. In summary, I am sure every NRD-515 owner (present or future) will want
to add this convenience to his listening post.

While in Dayton I talked to the Japanese engineer who designed the NCM-515. He felt it
should be available in the U.S. by June. A price has not yet been established for this
product.
It should be explained that this evaluation was done on a prototype of the NCM-515 pro-
vided to be through the courtesy of Universal Electronics, Inc. of Reynoldsburg (Columbus)
OH. Therefore, it is possible that production units may have slightly different specifi-
cations. It should also be noted that my analysis was performed without technical docu-
mentation. Despite all this, I feel I have discussed the key features.

RADIO YESTERYEAR
by Don Dickey

In 1921, at the age of 12 years, I constructed my first radio receiver with the aid
of an older boy in our neighborhood who had previously entered the great hobby of "radio
listening." It was a crystal detector set with a "cat whisker" -- using either a small
piece of silicon or galena. The balance consisted of hardware, hook-up wire, and a set
of inexpensive headphones. My antenna was 50 feet of 14-gauge single strand copper wire
externally mounted between our house and garage.

The receiver components were mounted on a breadboard; the amazing thing about all this
was not its appearance -- but the fact that it did actually work. Picking up such local
broadcasts as were "on the air" at the time, this crystal receiver had a listening range
of about thirty miles.
It/ next project was a one-tube single-circuit receiver with variable capacitance
and inductive tuning. This receiver provided a bit more distant reception; in fact, from
my home in Minneapolis, Minnesota I managed to hear broadcasts from Chicago, Illinois --
about 400 miles away -- not with great fidelity, however.

Then, I tried my hand at a 3-vacuum-tube job known as an "Armstrong Regenerative

Receiver." It employed variable capacitance, variable inductance, a series of switch
points or contacts, and a variable resistor known as a "rheostat" -- somewhat similar to
our present-day wire-wound potentiometer. In all, the operator of the regenerative •
receiver had five controls to adjust when tuning a signal.

The Armetrong Regenerative operated on the principle of controlled feedback from a

point of higher-to-lower signal potential. The "feedback" was controlled by the rheostat,
or what we would call today the "volume' or "gain" control. If the operator of a regen-
erative receiver advanced the rheostat too fer (past the halfway mark), the receiver
would break into oscillation and set up squeals and howls beyond description.

In addition to the annoyance that was caused the person tuning such a receiver, these
howls and squeals were fed back to the signal input and from there to the external
antenna -- then broadcast to the other listeners in the neighborhood.

My final experience in "homebrew" receivers was a 5-tube configuration known as the

"Neutrodyne" circuit (that was) neutralized by capacitative voltage feedback, which was
a breed of "tuned radio frequency" (and regeneratior6. This proved to be a vast improve-
ment over my previous attempts. But this, too, had its own built-in evils to plague the
listener. Its main problem arose from the fact that the vacuum tubes would not amplify
all carrier frequencies equally well. Reception was not stable, nor was the fidelity
too good, and the tuning of such a unit still required too many knobs and dials. Most of
these early receivers were limited to broadcast band reception.

I might mention another chronic complaint of early radio listeners. It was called
"body capacity." It manifested itself as follows: if one's hand approached the front
panel of the receiver, the radio would go into oscillation and squeal. The human body
acted as one plate of a capacitor -- the front panel, the dielectric -- and the metal
components inside the cabinet as the opposite plate, thereby setting up stray or
unwanted capacitance.

Early radio experimenters tried to solve "body capacitance" by various means. One
was the lining of the inside surface of the front panel with tin or copper foil and
then ennnecting this shielding to ground. This helped, but did not solve the whole
problem.

Another gimmick involved a remote tuning device which resembled a "plumber's friend";
a long handle with a rubber suction cup attached to one end to engage and turn the tuning

Page 5
 controls -- thus keeping hands and the other parts
of the body away from the front control panel.

Of course, all the difficulties in early radio

reception were not due completely to inefficient
receivers -- the transmitting left much to be
desired.

When the "Armstrong-Hazeltine superhetero-

dyne" was introduced, radio had arrived; it
remains today the basic circuit for television,
broadcast band, and shortwave radio receivers.
In 1927 the AC plug-in receiver became
available, thus eliminating batteries as a
power source.

Thus, I can, as an old timer, look beck

upon a half-century of radio development.

In the early 1920's, wireless communications "GRANDPA'S GRABBER"

were in the "horse-and-buggy" stage, hardly
looked upon as a practical medium of home
entertainment. Radio was then for the most part the concern of the hobbyist and
experimenter.

There were a few factory made receivers available at that time which were both
massive and elegant, with price tags that relegated their purchase to the affluent few.
The performance of these factory constructed receivers was rarely better than the
"home made" variety.

I recall one such professionally manufactured receiver that sold for almost $1,000,
and it is ironic to note that a present day $15 transistorized radio can outperform
those early-day receivers in every department. (Editor's note: I take exception to the
last statement, as I have tuned up an old Atwater Kent Model 35 TRF which pulled in
many stations from the Midwest which a pocket radio couldn't touch even with inductive
loops. BT)

A few organizations specialized in radio components only. One of these was the William B.
Duck Co. of Toledo, OH. When the home building of crystal "sets" became a craze, F.W.
Woolworth 5+10 sold radio parts such as coil wire, coil-forms or cores, binding poets,
crystal detectors, antenna wire, and earphones. And, "Radio News" magazine was being
published by Hugo Gernsback.

Here it is the last half of the year, and I'm still writing 1981 sometimes.
Tempus sure does fugit. The past few months have increased considerably the
number of correspondents to Technical Topics, for which we thank one and all.
Many subjects broached have required individual tutoring, and for the most
part we nave been able to deal with everyone satisfactorily. Please though,
remember to send stamps when you write and expect an answer. At 20c per each,
it gets expensive for editors to reply out of his own pocket. Thanks loads.

For July - A SUPER-SIMPLE construction project: A Hi-Z Pocket Testing Prod.

Here is an item that is the neatest in my entire collection of electronic

testing equipment. The idea is not really new, but few technician have one
to use, or have even seen one. What does it do?

Well, first of all it is (1) a continuity tester. That is, you hold the in-
strument in one hand and touch the probe tip to a circuit or wire to be test-
ed. Then you touch your finger of your free hand to the opposite side of the
circuit or wire. If the test light glows, there is continuity - through YOU:
There's no danger of shock, even while testing housepower. No need to drag
out a cumbersome meter just to test continuity. Just dandy for locating hot
wires inside of receivers or inside your automobile. You can differentiate
between hot wire glow and continuity glow simply by testing in opposite po-
larity. Continuity will glow; (—) voltage will not. Yes, it confirms which
end of DC voltage is positive - it glows. The negative side produces no glow.
(2) It tests capacitors. Hold one leg and test the other; reverse legs and
test again. If glow occurs continuously, there is a short; if there is not
a glow at all, the cap is open. If the light blinks on and fades away, the
cap is good. With practice, the user will be able to guesstimate the value
by judging how long it takes for the glow to fade away.

The probe will glow when touched to the ungrounded side of a wall socket. If
both sides glow, it indicates you have a floating ground problem.

Construction hints: I built several of these in small square pill boxes. Size
is unimportant, but box should house all components without danger of shorts.
The collector side of the circuit is connected to the outside surface of the
box via the metal snap-in hole plug. Your thumb or finger has to touch this
in order to effect continuity. The tip is made by using a 1-" No. screw
and two nuts to affix it securely thru end of the box - grind it down to a
nice point. Write me for further help if necessary - and send return stamps.

Pa ge 8 by Hank Bennett and Harry Helms:
SHORTWAVE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE

For nearly a decade, beginning in May 1960, DXers took Swan Island for granted. It
was an easy catch and an easy country QSLed. Then the political situation changed, and
Swan Island became a silent "country" for listeners. Odds are it won't be back.
It was 22 years ago that both BCB and shortwave listeners were surprised to hear a
new station on the air -- Radio Swan -- on 1160 kHz and 6000 kHz.
It claimed to be a commercial broadcaster, operated by a New York firm, Gibraltar
Steamship Corp. One of a number of strange things about the operation that became
apparent before long was that the steamship line owned no vessels.
The station was located on tiny Swan Island, in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast
of Honduras. It claimed to be an American commercial venture, broadcasting for bucks.
But the FCC said it had not licensed Radio Swan.
Conveniently, there was a dispute over the actual ownership of the island, with both
the U.S. and Honduras claiming sovereignty. Under this cloud of legal uncertainty, the
station broadcast anti-Castro-flavored programs to Cuba.
The commercial claim was weak, and before long it was reasonably common knowledge
that Radio Swan was a semi-black clandestine station supported by the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.
The "cover" never really was very good, and was totally blown in April 1961, during
the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion by Cuban exiles. Radio Swan broadcast coded
messages, and then open exhortations to the Cuban people to rise in revolt in support of
the invasion. There was no popular revolution, the invasion attempt failed, and Radio
Swan's image was totally destroyed.
In September, 1961, the station's stateside headquarters was shifted from New York
to Miami. Gibraltar disappeared, supposedly leasing the station to a new "cover" firm
called Vanguard Service Corporation, "consultants." In November, Radio Swan became
Radio Americas.
The CIA attempted to rebuild the reputation of the Swan Island station. The
commercial venture fiction was doggedly maintained.
In the mid-60's, a rather silly controversy developed in the SWL world. Was Radio
Americas really on Swan Island? Or was it really somewhere else...and several other
Caribbean sites were suggested. Ultimately it was definitely established that the
station broadcast from where it always claimed to be -- Swan Island.
The attempt by the station to hide its real mission and operators was a virtual
invitation to DXers to play sleuth.
But times were changing, the U.S. was no longer as interested in supporting the
Cuban exiles and pushing direct confrontation with Castro. And Radio Americas -- as a
supposedly black clandestine -- was a flop.
And without any fanfare, in the late 60's, it disappeared from the air. Newcomers
to the DXing hobby lost the opportunity to log and verify Swan Island.
But there was a burst cf excitement, in 1975, when a station calling itself Radio
Swan came on 6185 kHz. It soon became apparent that the station was in Honduras, not on
Swan Island (for which the U.S. had relinquished claims two years earlier). While the
new Radio Swan was operated by anti-Castro exiles, it seemed to have no connection with
the CIA, or the original Swan Island broadcaster. This station soon disappeared too.

-- Don Jensen --

Editor's Note: Radio Swan is still listed in the WRTH on 6000 kHz, as inactive.

I'd just like to make a few more announcements. Effective immediately, all submissions
for "It Sounds to Me" should be sent directly to Chris Hansen. Al Sizer has decided he
should enjoy his retirement, and we all thank him for his efforts in the past, and for
any future submissions he might care to make.

It should also. be noted that advertisements for placement in the bulletin should go
direct to Levittown, not here or to any other editor. In addition, material directed
to either of the subsections should go directly to the sub-editor concerned.

FUTURE PLANS FOR SWC: Since my library of back issues of FRENDX extends to 1972, I will
be picking some of the best of the past issues for retrospective. Some ideas -- what
REALLY was Nibi-Nibi (an article by John Callarman from the May, 1973 FRENDX), and Don
Jensen's series on How to Get to the Top, a very popular and still timely series begin-
ning in June 1973. If any of you have a favorite "FRENDX Classic" article, bring it to
my attention. They might be old-hat to some of you, but to many of you (who were not DX-
ing in 1973) they are of timely interest. I have been especially surprised at the number
of people who are not fully aware of the story behind "Nibi-Nibi". This part of
history deserves to be recounted, if only to inform new DXers of a DXer's
tradition. I'll see all of you next month. 73's from Chris Hansen

 [111 SOUNDS TI ME
BY ALVIN V. SIZER, 22 Country Way,North Haven,CT 06473
I ask your indulgence in this column because I am
going to wax nostalgic and turn mostly to medium wave
although, as you will see, there are definite short
wave aspects to my remarks.
The occasion for my turning back the clock is a
sad one for me and many DXers. It was set in motion by
the demise of the Newark News Radio Club, the grand-
daddy of them all. I was sorry to see it go but frank-
ly it had just not kept pace with the hobby in recent
years. Tee ore, there was no call to take a parting
shot at USWA, which has or a thinly-veiled slur at
one of cur founders who,'fov my money, is and has
been for years this country s premie t DXer.
But I'd rather not çlwell on its sad departure.
Let me recall the club in its days of glory.
I was lb and in high school in 1931-32 and a MW
DXer of sorts when I first heard of the NRC. Ye father had a Philco con-
soleeceiver with one of those underneath speakers that were directed at
the flr oor. I used to crawl underneath and put my ear up close to the speak-
er so I wouldn't wake up the rest of the family. As was customary in those
days, we had a good outside aerial.
I was living in Bridgeport and the public library subscribed to the
Newark News. One day I sàw the club radio column in the paper and saw what
it could do for me by way of tips of special DX broadcasts. I couldn't aff-
ord to join the club but walked the two miles to the library at least once
a week to read the column.
Once I saved enough money to subscribe to the paper for three months
but I_couldn't keep it up.
All my records from that era have disappeared but I still have an old
diary that contains occasional mentions of DXing. My last mention, before
going tç college, cites my_ total as 312 stations and there are notatione
for having heard, among other things, California and ATHEIL, Sheboygan, Wis.
Some 1932 samples' Jan.2--Went downtown in the rain and snow to read
the Newark Nen feldio collem. t an eM--Got up and DXed. That darn am lamp

ceM S

Oregon. Feb. 13--Went to bed at 7:45 to get sleep for the DX Frolic of the
NNRC. (Unfortunately, no fob o on that one.)
My family continued to complain about the nqise of the rx and when I
read in the NNRC about an easy plan for connecting earphones I wrote to a
member, explaining my predicament, admitting my ielorance of wiring and ad-
mitting I was not a member. He answered in detail, patiently and
t meticul-
le y outlining how to attach
ta earphones. They worked well. However, some-
me later when my dad was having trouble with the set he ripped out the
p ones. It didn't curs the mblem but d}d mark the end of my MW 10Xing. I
was about to go to college. e'en 1 came back to the hobby eventually It
would be in SW.
When he first got a two-tube set in the early 20s my dad was into DX
too. In fact, everyone who had a rx was a DXer then under the spell of the
magic of those first years. Everyone talked about what they had been able
to hear the night before. And there were jokest "Did you hear about Joe
Baker? He stuck his head out the window Iast night and got Chile."
I was eight years old in 1924 when the longest political convention in
U.S. history took 103 ballots for the Democrats to nominate John W. Davis.
I can remember my dad glued to the set and putting the headset on me to
hear the oft iterated chartr Alabama casts 24 votes for Underwood." (A
native son.)
My mother wouldn't let me stay up for the famous Dempsey-Tunney "long
count" fight in Chicago, Sept. 22, 1927, but my dad, rightly guessing I
was still awake, came to the foot of the stairs and announced that Tünney
had won.
1 never heard of shortwave until 1937 when I was living in a boarding
house off campus and one of the roomers was a very old retired history pro-

I was too busy wit ojher matters in those days--like chasing
but the seed had been planted. I w as in tr igue d by short waveve an d igirls--
t was in-
evitable that when I came back to the hobby it would be as a SW listener.
If I seem to have gotten off the subject of the NNRC, I have to say,
well, not really. That column I used to read in the Newark paper taught me
somethingI didn't forget. To be a lon e r in thi s hobby, with little or no
contact with kindred souls elsewhere, is a mistake. Ngt only will it make
goals difficult, if not impossible to obtain, but it will deprive you of
some of the hobby's greatest rewards--fellor.mhip, friendshic, understanding.
It was from the NNRC that I first learned this lesson. hat's why it
is a sadoess to hue it leave the radio scene. Lets remember its glory days
and profit from i,s mistakes.
Above all, lets not let it happen to us:

'hen the Falklands war is over I wonder whether anyone will be able to get
the fascinating story of what happened to the famous radin station.

 This Is The Way It Sounds To Them! (Some feedback on my comments on some
pirates I consider to be offensive.)
From SCOTT MCCLELLAN, Battle Creek, Mli
"I totallyagree with you regarding not giving publicity to the few
racist, overly obscene, or sexist pirates. Of the 50 pirates I've logged in
North America, I found only one offensive to me and that was WKKK. I didn't
think anything about it at the time because I was hoping for a QS1 (I should
have known better.) Those pirates who are out to deliberately offend a per-
son or group should be warned, if possible, and then if they persist, steps
should be taken to get them off the air, one way or another. But they should
be warned first. But I hope NASWA members will seek out and enjoy the talen-
ted pirates that are on the air at present (Syncom, etc.)"
From TERENCE H.V. BOWDEN, Toronto, Ontg (writer is Interface editor, DX Ont)
"Your editorial hit it on the nose. Pirates, yes. They can be very
ueEllve and amusing, e.g. R. Clandestineg and surely the rrd-lo waves belong
"Nevertheless, agitation for racial hate or grotesque obscenity which
defies community standards are not permissible modes of expression. Of cour-
se they are free to spout hatred: but it is our responsibility to frustrate
these efforts if we care for our societies. And we certainly must not give
these pecple publicity or we are accomplices. Radio is used to transmit
messages or music and it should be used reasonably. Hatred, sexism, big-
otry--all are irrational, all are diseases. Should FRENDX or any other be
a carrier of disease?
"I know when I read of WKKK I was revolted. My coeditor Steve Webster's
belief is the station was in Ontario, This makes sense since the real KKK
is still only a joke up here though we realize it's far from a joke in the
U.S. But these jerks who used Steve's name are certainly inconsiderate
people, treading on thin ice.
"I guess I just wanted to say I agree with you total e -y. To report a
pirate to the FCC or DOC is clearly stool-igeonish in my book, if that
pirate is not trying to spread antisocial ideas. But when the pirate is
plainly a hate-monger, it should be taken off the air. This would be a ser-
vice to 'legitimate' pirates who wouldn't have to put up with the damage to
the pirate name caused by these drunken operations. And never should we
give them publicity!"
From RUSSELL LAY e Virginia Beach. VAt
"I agree 100% with your cements on those pirates who stray too far
from what most of us woOld call decent programiting. I am very liberal min-
ded when it comes to free speech, etc. And - I am orten disturbed by the cen-
sorship placed on the U.S. airwaves by government and religious groups.
However, I draw the line on obscenity and when it is patently disgusting,
and aleo on racism such as that broadcast from 4KKK. There is no ñeed tá
publi cize such stations and when.I hear them. I sil tune away. I think
we a to wa cn what.we prin t in our bUlletin .......'us is a neb y
pubI @RtM and ng a proving und fer First Amen mé cases.
"We have people whose mora, religious and political news are diverse.
Also, we have to remember we have many youngsters in the club. Lets stick
to SW news and try to clean it up as much as possible.
"Also, a quick note on Micky Anderson's comments on a hobby-type BC
band. It's a good idea but I double it will solve the so-called pirate
problem. First, there will be non-conformists who simply will not obey the
rules under any circumstances. Secondly, the band will probably become
overcrowded, forcing pirates to once again appear elsewhere on the spectrum.
And last, there will no doubt be charges that the licensed 'pirates' have
seld out, so as to speak, and I suspect a new crop of alternativ e pirates
will come about to take their placee. Many pirates provide excellent pro-
grams so I hope we can eventually find a way to accomodate these people."
EDITOR'S COMMENT1 My thanks to the above correspondents who have made
my case much better than I did, especially so since they are obviously no t
enemies of free radio, quite the opposite in fact.
I must say I agree with Russell Lay's assessment that a hobby band
would not result in all pirate activity broadcasting there. As he says,
there are always non-conformists and isn't a good deal of the allure of
pirate broadcasting you're bucking regulations and thumbing your nose at
authority?
On another matter, I have decided after 21 months of writing this col-
umn that I should bow out and give someone else a crack at it. Any one
person's opinions get on your nerves after awhile and it would be good to
hear someone else's.
I am also finding that unexpectedly retirement is not proving to be an
era of complete leisure with plenty of time on my hands: Quite the opposite.
I write, speak and teach. My main writing is a Sunday column for The New
Haven Register on retired people and the problems of the aging. I envision
doing more in this field.
And so I have decided to relinquish the column for FRENDX although I
will always be a contributor as I have since I entered the hobby in 1968.
I've had a lot of fun, heard a lot of stations and countries and received
my share of QS1a. I have but one goal left--to convince my friends I am not
a ham radio operator. They'll never learn!

'CBANISTAN On 21/4 I made a startling discovery which made my heart beat go racing: On
àecking Afgh's many HS fqs both USSR & Afghan based xmtrs, I discoverd that the USSR has
itarted using 3965 4450 4740 from xmtr bases in the USSR while hitherto these were based in
,fgh. Before this whenever I checked these three fqs were always synchronised with 1278 kHz
Ind also 5742 and 7199. But now 3965 4450 & 4740 have a half-second delay clearly showing a
etellite feed, and these are also synchro w/9500 & 11730 which are from USSR. Also noticed
tat a few times when 7199 and 1278 were on the other three fqs had a break in relay. And
emetimes after 1630 or 1700 there was no time lag between Afgh & USSR xmtrs carrying HS,
ut USSR xmtrs did have a HF-relay quality signal. Maybe after 1700 or so the HF circuit is
eliable and satl link is used for Eu svc which has time lag between 15077 & 11755/9665.
.fgh had 6 SW xmtrs before Russian takeover, until recently on 4965 4450 4740 6230 7199 si-
ultaneously and we were wondering whether 5742 was another one or the 7199 xmtr which was
err' to monitor after 1600 due to QRM, and 5742 used to f/in after 1645. 15677 xmtr is ob-
lously the same as the one on 6230. 21/4 I discovered that 7199 & 5742 are two separate
mtrs as they were in parallel and from Afgh. But this could be recent development as Kabul
hould now have xmtrs formerly used on 3965 4450 4740 on their hands. So this is sked as
onitored here and updated as of 24/5: HS via USSR: 3965 *0125-1930* (or with silent per-
od 0330-1340 as in WIITH). 4450 & 4740 ditto. 15255 *0125-1300, 17720 0125-1300. FS via

nlightening, but suffice it to note that most of the time about 8 xmtrs are going at once,
r should I say 8 fqs? Whilst at 1800/1900 there are a total of 14 SW xmtrs on the air,
ainly because Russian at 1830 takes up six, probably to combat jamming; they are also (ins&
ertently?) cooperating with western beers facing the same problem by skedding Ruseian at
ommon time thus spreading jammers thinner; extra 6 xmtrs rounded up from ute services? (gh)

and commented "be aware of foreign domination, both British & Argentine, for our Falkland Is-
lands." Gave Ottawa address for FIFI. If xmtr there, it would explain sig strength as Ottawa

Liberty On 17738 since late May, fair sig even at 1800-1845v 30/5, but 0000-0045 usually has
hum or jammer noise, probably from own jammers at same site. 30/5 all Arg jammers were off,
and no hum on 17738 (Behr) Jamming on Liberty goes on and off at precisely the same time as
Liberty miter itself, so trust be from that same met- (Kim Andrew Elliott, MA) Move to 17737a
quite possibly to avoid HCJB 17745 splatter. All four xmsns, 1800, 2000, 2200, 0000 are on
this fq. Sometime prior to her 22/5 be, Liberty's STL began to malfunxion. This problem (er-
roneously reported by Hauser as jamming during 30/5 & 1/6 WRNO pgm) has been noted w/varying
degrees during every 0000 xmsn monitored at SWNS HQ since. This malfurncion has two results;
increase in background noise and the faint relay of a second bc stn which appears to carry
that nx produced by LR1 R Nacional [sic--R El Mundo is LRI; R Nacional is LRA-I at 2330-2355a
but not the I.R1 religious pgm which begins at 2355a. Tho Lib's carrier doesn't usually come
on until 2340a, it seemed to be fi 9690 24/5 & 26/5, and fi the same nx on 6060 1/6--9690 was

tape rechex of 0000 1/6 shows timesig similar to R Nacional's on hour and half hour, hrd on

tirely random: 7 at 0000 6/6, 4 at 2300, 2 at 2330, 5 at 0000 7/6. At 0000 8/6 TS agn hrd on

use of EG isn't solem enough for the programmes to be produced in Cuba or Algeria. Sounds to
me like a local product, even down to the tubby "Argentine modulation" on the speech. If the
British military audience can understand most of what she is saying, they deserve a diploma in
speech therapy. Who'll be first to QSL Argentine Annie? Call your local Argentine embassy
"now'. (John Campbell, June DSWCI SWN) My guess is that the jamming on Liberty originates in
Argentina; very similar to that on 9710, and propagation makes UK source unlikely. I have
the impression after a lot of listening to Liberty that it is not for the troops but rather
for the home front--the same type of mentality that goes into establishing a "R Marti"--a
need by a segment of the population to feel as if they are doing something, albeit only yell-
ing at the wind. I get the feeling she is a mouthpiece for a faction within the govt rather
than the regime as a whole (Richard Varron, NJ, July RIB) Argie nx agcy Telam 6/6 quoted a
'reliable source' in Bs As that "Liberty" bcs from an unk place have been shown effective by
appearance of a Brit stn on Ascension "which does not really merit analysis". Source assured

Radio turd Sen Roger W Jepsen (R-IA) introduced a resolution urging the admn and Congress
to do whatever is necessary--including jamming Cuban sign--to prevent continued interference
[from existing Cuban MW stns to US i61 stns). A week earlier, the Telecoms Subcommittee vot-
ed to prohibit use of AM band for R Marti, arguing it'd provoke retaliation from Cuba. The
Subcomte's amendment, sponsored by Reps Al Swift (D-WA) and Thomas Tauke (R-IA) would force
the admn to use SW fqs for R Martí. Forn Affairs Comte which previously approved plans to
put R Marti on 1040 kHz, maintains the proposed service'd have no effect on the 13-year-old
QRM problem. SWBC, per comte spoxeman, is almost never used in the Caribbean, and is there-
fore unacceptable substitute for AM. Also feels 530 & 1610 are unacceptable as these fqs not
protected by any intl treaty; if jammed, US would have no right to complain to ITU (Broadcas-
ting magazine 31/5 via Greg Monti) House Energy & Commerce Subcotnte on Telecoms, Consumer
Protexion & Finance, headed by Rep Timothy E Wirth, has approved and passed on to the full
Energy & Commerce Committee an amendment to the authorization bill for R Marti which would re-
strict this govt-sponsored stn to the SW spectrum. (Westlink 12/6 via Rufus Jordana, PA) With-
out waiting for Congress to approve R Marti , the Navy has started building four 250' antennas
for the gout stn, a Navy offl says. The advance construxipn of the xmting towers in the FL
keys drew sharp response from heed of House subcomte on telecoms. "Clearly, expenditure of
any funds for making R Marti operational without passage of authorizing legislation would be
illegal," said Rep Timothy Wirth, D-CO, Construction site is 12 mi N of Key West. Lt Crier
Mark Neuhart, public affs officer for US Carib forces, told Miami Herald the towers are inten-
ded for R Marti, but said they won't be used until Congress approves. Two towrs are finished,

"WBUZ-FM", self-assigned calls, has no regular pgm sked, no ads; 24-yr-old DJ Steven Roach
sometimes broadcasts 20 hours a day. Per hams, his 18-watt sig is one of more than a dozen pi
rates in the NYC area that bc on fqs reserved for commercial bcers or navigational comm. FCC
says they pose a threat to public safety because they may interfere with air traffic control
or emergency bus. Roach said FCC had caught him twice and fined him more than $750, which he
had not paid. "The FCC takes a look-the-other-way attitude most of the time toward pirates,"
said Thomas Kneitel, who edits a magazine for amateur radio [sic] enthusiasts. "There is an
unwritten rule that if no one complains about you, and you stay between certain frequencies
that are just beyond the range of the majority of radios, the FCC won't hassle you, providing
you don't use a lot of power. But the FCC really gets worried if you turn up elsewhere on the
broadcast band." WBUZ-FM has been taking the great risk of transmitting on 103.1 kHz [sic]
in the middle of the FM band. Its antenna, bought secondhand for less than $150, rises 20 ft
above the house in Patchogue, LI (James Barron, p 26 NY Times 24/4 via Jim Halsema, NY)

"183M" FCC has swooped down on a popular pirate operated by a 28-yr-old Queens man w/an aud-
ience of at least 2 kilolisteners. "Pirate of the airwaves" Mitchell Steven might still be op
crating if pilots at LaGuardia Airport hadn't begun hearing R&R over their radios on takeoff
and landing and alerted the FCC. "WQVM" aired mostly top 40 and had listeners in all five bor
oughs; sometimes hrd as far away as Huntington LI, and Atlantic City NJ. Pgm on 108.5 had
its own professionally produced jingle, ran PSAs for Army and Navy. "It sounded more commer-
cial than most professional stns," said a radio buff in Queens. Steven was visited at his
Flushing home 20/3 by FCC officials, who dismantled his xmtr; the freelance radio tech was so
brazen that he used his own name on the air and often spoke w/listeners via phone. "I was an
asset to the community," said Steven. Four days after the raid, FCC issued summons of apparent
liability for $2000. The illegal stn operated for 41
2 yrs;

This month we had 121 countries reported. Thank you - great job:
Next month we should have a special column. Hope you like it!
If any of you old time DXers have QSLa going back quite a ways we would
appreciate illustrating these rare items in the QSL Column. If you send any copies to ma,
try to make sure they are of good contrast. Shades of gray will not work well... .Sam.

manager at Radio Manus not at Radio East Sepik as listed in the WRTH. Also, Mr. Luke
limbo is the station manager at Radio East Sepik not as the listed Radio Manos.. .Thanks!

in FRENDX. Another new oel; r Bob Streeter says that the v/s's came in very
ve handy. Glad

all loggings are mailed early morning on the 13th and if yours aren't in
they'll be held until the next month. FRENDX log slips are the best format
to use when repJrting but reasonable facsimiles are certainly acceptable.
Note that a reasonable facsimile is not a slip of onion skin paper 4" wide
and 3/16" high. Our log slips are 8 1/2" wide and 1" high. Any other size
may hinder this editor and other editors in handling your loggings. Also,
if your name doesn't appear among the credits some month, ask yourself if
you included a signature slip (same size as a log slip) with your loggings.
Some reporters don't do this and it simply increases the amount of time it
takes to sort and distribute the loggings.

Those reporters who take the time to place their log slips in frequency
order are especially thanked as this makes the sorting job so much easier.
Believe me, your little extra efforts make a big difference on this end.

MEDIA NETWORK ACCESSORY QUESTIONNAIRE

INTRODUCTION

In the late 1980 Radio Netherlands began two projects in connection with the
weekly communications programme Media Network, broadcast on Thursday in
9 of the English transmissions. This has resulted in the production of two
pamphlets entitled The Receiver Shopping List'
. and the iBooklist.
, both of
which are intended to fill the information gap that exists about short-wave.
Now in their 5th edition both publications are intended to provide advice
on receivers and short-wave related publications, suggesting further sources
of information.

A number of manufacturers are now producing various accessories to enhance

the performance of a basic short-wave receiver. These include active filters
and antennas, preselectors, antenna tuning units, audio processors, RTTY
converters, light weight communications head-phones, timers/digital clocks,
and morse readers. The problem with this field is that various units may or
may not match any particular receiver and the purpose of this questionaire
is to gather listeners' reaction to a variety of products. This information
will eventually be compared with independent tests conducted in the programme
Media Network and the results made available free of charge to listeners.

If you can take time to fill in the answers to the following questions and
return this questionnaire to the address shown at the bottom of the sheet
your participation would be highly appreciated. Please be as specific as
possible and if necessary use extra paper to expand on your ideas.

Have you noticed any problems with the use of this unit? (Distortion,
overloading of receiver, poor intelligibility, etc.)

dealer or to the manufacturer? If it was returned, how long did the service
take and was the nature of the fault ever described to you? How much did
you pay for servicing? (Include details of shipping/postal charges)
