A REMINDER: Since we have a little space left this time, may we take this
opportunity to ask renewing members to be sure to return the Post Card re-
newal notice which is sent about two months prior to a members expiration
date.

This card immediately signals us that you are a current or recent member and
tells us when your expiration occurs, so we are then able to process the re-
newal immediately and without question.

If the card is not enclosed, we have to search back through past months ex-
pirations until we can find the member's file card. If we have trouble in
locating the card, the renewal processing is delayed until we eventually can
find it. In the event you loose the card we send, then a mere mention of
your expiration month will be as helpful. The number to the right of your
name on the address label is the expiration month.

Both our Publisher and Business Manager will appreciate membership assistance
in making our work a little easier.

EXOTIC- COUNTRY PIRACY

IN THE B RITISH I
SLES
BY JOHN CAMPBELL

T
he SW pirate scene has been quite lively in England for the
last 11 years, but this is not news to FRENDX readers with
long memories. Several of the best English stations, particularly
European Music Radio, and one or two in the minor leagues, have been
heard and verified by East Coast listeners during the transatlantic
pirate seasons from mid-Dctober to early March. Unlike the BEC on SW,
though, pirates have represented all but one of the possible "countries"
in the British Isles, and they continue to give SWLs the only chance
of hearing the exotic ones via SWBC. Now that the winter season is near,
it is worth summarizing what may be available to North American
listeners in 1983-84.

The traditional pirate bands in Europe are 6195-6320 and 7290-7410-,

and the traditional broadcasting times fall between 0900 and 1300 on
Sundays. 0900 sign-ons in the depths of winter have been heard in North
America, but the best bets are earlier starts around 0800 or specially-
arranged tests at various times between 0530 and 0800. %here possible,
news of special tests will be spread through sources like FRENDX. Of -
course, anyone who wishes to do so is welcome to adopt any of the stations
listed below, and conduct individual campaigns of persuasion. I hope
that any successful outcomes in this direction will be reported to LN
or Update in time for the greatest number of listeners to benefit.
Most interested stations seem to understand publication delays now,
but there will always be some which decided to make their broadcasts
with next to no notice in advance.

ENGLISH pirate stations are currently going through a very quiet

period. No doubt this will not worry any country-hunters who have already
logged the BBC. Only one English station is
known to be interested in broadcasting to
North America this winter, but the general
efficiency and enthusiasm of its operators
deserves a response, even from people who
have heard the BBC. This is Radio A.ollo
International, which has used 733 0 -73 40
lately and which has the address
P.O. Box 319, Edenbridge, Kent. It calls
itself the DXers' station, and justifiably so.

Now to the exotic radio countries.

In the British Isles, the only one which
has never been on SW, to my knowledge, is
the Isle of Man. Unfortunately no pirate
DXpeditions are being planned; it's
inhospitable in the winter, and the ferry-
boats are uncomfortable in rough seas.
Two more countries have been available in
the past, but have no SW activity now: Northern Ireland and the Channel
Islands (whose Radio Channel International on 6550 was heard in North
America about 4 years ago).

Page 3
 That still leaves 3 countries. British free-radio honor is
presently upheld best by SCJTLAND, which has no less than 4 active
stations. Each of them should be on the air in winter, on one or two
Sundays per month. The most interesting one is Radio Freedom, with
address, Dept. R, 67 Elm Rove, Edinburgh EH? 4A.d. It uses 6230, but has
recently started parallel tests on 9420 with 150 watts which have been
heard over long distances. 9420 should be a good choice for Sunday-
morning propagation to North America in winter. Radio Stella is usually
heard on the last Sunday of the month, on 7319 lately, and is not afraid
to get out of bed early enough for regular 0800 starts in winter. Full
.addressisRSI, 48 Pentland Park, Loanhead, Midlothian. Radio Lynda has
been on 6260 lately, but plans parallel operation on 6230 and 7315. It
isn't recommended to quote the station name in the address,vhich is P.O.
Box_13,*Falkirk. Falkirk, by the way, has always been a center of free
radio, and in the past it has been the home of two of the four nationalist-
flavored Radio Free Scntlands. Finally, there's Weekend Music Radio.
6240, which has had several transatlantic tests will. some (though
limited) success in previous winters. I hope that the operator can be
talked into waking up early on at least one winter Sunday this season.
WMR's address is 42 Arran Close, Cambridge, England. All four stations
send out good enough signals to make it to North America unless the
conditions are against them.

IRELAND should be putting up an especially good performance,

probably its best ever, this winter. On recent occasions, the pirate
bands have sounded like an Irish monopoly. Against the background of
Irish gol.ernment threats to put both commercial and hobby pirates out
of business, this is extremely good news. Here's a summary of what is
available at present:

6218 Premier Radio, has supposedly

closed, but was back once

Finally, the real novelty: WALES, Voice of the Leek, 6265-1/2. is

the only all-welsh SW station so far, and it issues QSLs entirely in
Welsh. Anyone with a name like Jones is excused from sending return
postafe. It aims to have only 2 (maybe 3?) broadcasts annually, but
negotiations have been conducted to turn one of these into a winter
test for North America. The station normally makes its plans well in
advance. Technical quality of this operation is high, and the will to
be heard in the land of the descendants of Prince Madoc is equally high.
(Who he? Well, read "Madoc" by Gwyn Williams, especially if you live in
North Dakota). Forwarding address is P.O. Box 319, Edenbridge, Kent,
U.K. (not England, if you please).

2 IRCs will cover return postage for any of the stations that I
have mentioned. Good DX: And let's have a few North American stations
giving us European listeners something to hunt for in winter too.

(Editor's note: Nice work, John, and thanks! We'll miss your
"Unofficial Radio" column in "Shortwave News" (the monthly
bulletin of the Danish Shortwave Clubs International). If
West Coast DXers think the above borders on teasing, keep in
mind that Indos are far and few between in these parts. So,
it's revenge of sorts, eh?-JH)

\
Jo The Tandberg 1521: A Modern Dinosaur
by Jerry Berg - 38 Eastern Avenue -.Lexington, MA 02173

Recently I found myself in the market for a new open reel recorder, my
inexpensive 13-year old machine having been teetering on its last legs for
some time. A tape recorder is an important part of my listening equipment. It
serves three main purposes. First, if I am on to a weak signal and I cannot
identify it "off the air", I can replay the ID until I can, hopefully, piece it
together. (I have often been surprised how , after a few days go by, you can pick
things out of an ID tape that you missed the first time around.) Second, I keep a
tape library of all my Latin American DX, and some non-LA DX as well. Third, I
sometimes send taped reports to stations. Except for casual listening or informal
band scanning, my recorder is running almost all the time I am listening.

I have, for several reasons, always been partial to open reel recording, as
opposed to cassettes, for recording from a receiver. The main advantage to me is
that open reel facilitates the physical editing out of a segment of a longer
recording. This is the technique I have used for my ID collection, snipping out
the desired segment and splicing it onto a master tape containing recordings
from that particular country. This is virtually impossible to do with cassettes.
Open reel recording also permits longer running time. I generally use a 3600 foot
reel of .5 mil tape which, at a speed of 7.5 inches per second, provides 96 minutes
of recording time without the necessity of rewinding or turning the tape over.
Finally, I still believe that on all but the most expensive recorders (where cassettes
will perform nearly as well as open reel), open reel recording provides better
fidelity.

With a large collection of open reel recordings made in a half-track mono

format (a few going ba:ck as far as 25 years), I wanted a recorder that would play
these tapes with full fidelity and without the problems of track incompatibility
sometimes encountered with quarter-track units found on today's stereo market.
I was looking for a reiiable, straightforward, half-track mono machine that would
produce high quality recordings from shortwave, and nothing more. I was not
interested in using the unit for stereo purposes, and thus I had little use for a
quarter-track stereo format. Moreover, I did not want the bother of a separate
amplifier and speaker if I could avoid it, and so I was hoping to find a completely
self-contained recorder-player, not just a "deck" that required connection to other
components.

Page 5
THE TANDBERG 1521 (cont'd.)

If you have been out of the open reel tape recorder market for a long time,
as I was, you are in for some surprises. With few exceptions, open reel machines
have become basically semi-professional pieces of equipment. They are designed for the
really serious recordist, and consequently they are very expensive. The sky is
the limit as to price, with most units being $1,000 or more. With few exceptions they
are decks, intended for use with stereo components.

While I was willing to make a substantial investment for a suitable unit, I

still wanted to minimize cost as much as possible. After much inquiry I finally found
a unit which met my needs. It is the Tandberg Model 1521, and I report on it below
for the benefit of others who may be similarly situated.

If you owned an open reel recorder prior to the advent of stereo recording and
cassette machines, you will feel right at home with the 1521. It is a completely
self-contained unit, including a ten-watt amplifier and a speaker. It is of manageable
size, measuring 15,3/6" wide by 13-1/8" deep by 6-3/4" high. It comes with a snap-on
clear plastic dust cover that covers the entire face of the machine. Unfortunately,
it is designed for horizontal rather than vertical use, and this presented a problem
because, placed in a horizontal position on a desk, the counter and the VU meter
are not easily visible. For this reason, and for general ease of use, I constructed
a simple wooden stand that holds the unit at about a 45 angle and places the face
of the unit and all controls in a convenient operating position.

On examining the unit / was disappointed that, in a design change, Tandberg

has replaced the advertised teak cabinet, with handle, with a black, plastic-like
case without handle. (The 1521 can also be purchased in a special carrying case
configuration.) I am informed that similar substitutions have been made on other
Tandberg units lately, apparently as a cost cutting measure. It is the only
compromise with quality that is apparent, however. The 1521 is well constructed,
with the top panel and most of the controls made of metal rather than plastic.
The unit weighs 22 pounds.

Tandberg is an old and well known Norwegian company specializing in the audio-
visual, educational and professional markets rather than the home stereo market.
Tandberg equipment is particularly popular in language labs, where ruggedness and
reliability in hard, daily use is required. The 1521 is designed strictly for mono
applications, such as recording from a radio, recording lectures or discussions,
making master recordings of educational programs, etc.

-The unit accommodates up to 7" reels and operates at three speeds: 1-7/8, 3-3/4
and 7-1/2 i.p.s. I use the 7-1/2 i.p.s. position, where the frequency response is
40 to 18,000 Hz -4- 2 db. The frequency response at 3-3/4 i.p.s. is 40 to 13,000 Hz,
and at 1-7/8 i.p.s. it is 40 to 7,000 Hz, although the differences seem hardly
noticeable to the ear. Using a 3600 foot reel of .5 mil tape, the unit records for
96 minutes at 7-1/2, 192 minutes at 3-3/4 or 364 minutes at 1-7/8, without turning
the tape over. There is a four-digit illuminated counter that permits accurate location
of recorded material. A push button resets the counter. The VU meter is easily
visible when the unit is in a slanted position. It is calibrated in black from -20
to 0 db, and in red from 0 to+6 db, and is illuminated when the unit is in the
record mode. The speaker measures 3" x 5-1/2" and produces excellent audio. The unit
contains 20 transistors. There are separate bass and treble controls for playback,
and they are quite responsive. There is an output volume control, of course, which
controls playback volume. A slide switch on the front panel permits selection of the
internal speaker, an external speaker or both together. There are two separate (concentric)
recording level controls, one for the microphone input level and the other for other
input levels (see below). Thus, a microphone and another signal source, such as a
receiver, can be connected at the same time and the recording level of each can be
separately controlled and mixed together. The heads and related mechanisms are under
two metal covers held on by three screws which are easily removable without tools.
Threading is accomplished simply by dropping the tape into a single slot and feeding
it onto the take up reel. The tape reels are held firmly in place by reel locks
(not rubber stoppers).

The microphone input is a regular phone jack and is located on the front panel.
All other inputs and outputs are located on the rear panel. Rear panel sockets are
as follows: a DIN input for a ceramic cartridge; a phono input for a ceramic cartridge;
a DIN socket for simultaneous or separate input from a receiver or amplifier and output
(unamplified) to a receiver or amplifier; a phono input for a receiver or amplifier
(which I use for recording from a receiver); a phono output for playback through an
external amplifier; a phone jack for output to a 4 ohm external speaker; and a second
external speaker jack (the design of which is unfamiliar to me). As noted above. a

Page 6
THE TANDBERG 1521 (cont'd.)

front panel switch permits choice of internal or external speaker, or both, and so
connection of an external speaker to the rear panel epeaker jack does not automatically
cut out the internal speaker.

The tape transport is controlled mechanically rather than by solenoids, and

utilizes the reliable, four-position "joystick" tape motion lever that has been used
for years by Tandberg. With the joystick in the three o'clock position, the unit goes
into fast forward; at nine o'clock it rewinds. The tape is moved very rapidly in the rewind
and fast forward positions. There is an automatic end-stop when rewind is complete.
In the six o'clock position, the unit shifts to play. If the tape motion lever is
placed in the six o'clock position and a separate lever, the function selector, is
moved at the same time from its center "playback" position to its "down" or "record"
position, the unit goes into record and the VU meter is activated and lights up. In the
twelve o'clock position, both reels are released and can be moved freely by hand. This
is convenient for threading the tape onto the take up reel, splicing , or otherwise
manipulating the tape.

When the unit is in the record mode, the amplifier is also activated. Thus, by
turning up the output volume control the recorded material is amplified as it is
recorded. If--as is usually the case when recording from a receiver--you do not want
the material amplified while recording, you turn the output volume control to its "O'
position. The unit has a useful feature in that, by placing the function selector
switch in the "up" or "amplifier" position, when the recorder is not recording or
playing back, the unit can be used as an amplifier only, with the recorder output
volume, bass and treble controls being operative. This is a useful feature if your
receiver audio is not very good and if an unamplified receiver signal is available.

The 1521 also has a pause control which can be used in the record or playback modes,
and which can be left in the pause position without the need to hold the control in
place.

The recorder has an attractive, professional appearance. It is all black, with

panel lettering in white (in both English and French). The instructions are good,
although few instructions are needed to operate the machine. True to the unit's ,
European origins, the instructions are printed in English, French, Spanish, Norwegian,
Swedish and Finnish.

It is worth noting that Tandberg equipment has been on the market for many years
and is easily serviced. Of special importance in these days of foreign imports,
Tandberg has a reputation for long term parts availability, as befits the long life
expectancy of its products. Thus, there will be few difficulties in obtaining
replacement parts for many years to come.

While not priced in the same category as professional quality open reel stereo
decks, the 1521 is far from inexpensive. I was quoted a list price of $715 by two
dealers, though more recently the list price has been shown as $745 in the manufacturer's
literature. I was able to purchase the unit for $650. You may be able to do better
if you find the right dealer, but the potential savings are probably not very great
because the unit is rarely found "on the shelf" and must be special ordered. It is
readily available, however; the dealer obtained mine in a week from Tandberg's
American headquarters in New York.

The unit is also available in quarter-track mono format. In that format there
is a separate track selector that permits you to record or play back on track 1 (track
4 with tape side 2 up) or track 3 (track 2 with tape side 2 up), or to simultaneously
play back tracks 1 and 3 together (tracks 2 and 4 together with tape side 2 up). The
quarter track mono unit, Model 1541, lists for $835.

If you are considering buying a recorder for occasional use, or to record

relatively good quality shortwave signals for program listening purposes, a much
less expensive cassette récorder will do the job just as well. You should probably
consider something like the 1521 only if you physically manipulate the tape a great
deal, as I do, or if you like long tape running time, or if you are just partial to
open reel recording. (I still use a cassette recorder for preparing taped reports;
I record from the open reel "master" onto a cassette, which I then send to the station.)
In any event, if you decide to go open reel, and vou have no use for stereo, keep
the Tandberg 1521 in mind as a reliable, well constructed unit offering high quality
audio.

THE CHARLIE LOUDENBOOMER REPORT

Something had happened. I was perplexed and disturbed. For years I

had enjoyed a fabulous return rate on my reception reports to rare
stations. In fact, a hand-lettered poster reading, "99 and 44 /1 00ths
percent pure" hung in a prominent place near my receiver, a gift from
one of CL's admiring fans. It alluded to the fact that nearly every one
of my reception reports was promptly rewarded with a QSL.

When nobody but nobody was getting a verification from Tibet, I

received a three-page confirmation letter. I had garnered QSLs from the
likes of Zanzibar, Maldives and Tristan da Cunha. There were, in my files,
hundreds of veries from obscure Latin American stations, including a
prized verie note from Radio Neyba's Sr. F. Navidad.

But something had happened! I had been accustomed to receiving at

least a dozen rare QSLs a day. One day, however, the mailbox was empty.
Surely a postal holiday, I thought. But a quick check of the calendar
showed that the only festive occasion on that date was the anniversary
of Henry the VIII's third marriage.

When the mailbox remained empty the next day, and the next, I really
became worried. After two weeks without mail, panic set in.

I studied carbons of my recent reports. I quickly concluded that the

problem had to be elsewhere. Those reports were no different from earlier
ones that had brought prompt replies. They were indeed up to the usual
high Loudenboomer standards of reportage. Suspecting that the answer lay
with postal deliveries, I checked with my postmaster.

"My mail is being misdelivered or lost," I wailed to that official.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense," he replied scornfully. "The USPS is

the finest in the world. We are never stayed from our appointed rounds
by snow, sleet or gloom of night... .and we never make mistakes."

But after my tears of anguish had begun to dilute the magenta ink
of his stamp pad, he took pity and suggested that I contact the chief
postal inspector.

I was ushered into the office of Chief Postal Inspector Oscar Blunt.
The federal agent was the very picture of a chief postal inspector,
brisk, no nonsense, efficient. He fixed me with his steely eyes.

"So you're not getting any QSLs eh? Well you've brought your problem
to the right man. I'll look into it and you'll be hearing from me."

I went home relieved, and waited. Several weeks passed without mail.
Then one morning, my gloomy mood was broken by the doorbell ringing. At
the door stood someone I at first took for a complete stranger, until I
realized it was my mailman. He handed me two objects, a long overdue
club bulletin and an official-looking letter. I ripped open the latter
and found it was a letter from Chief Inspector Blunt:

"Be advised that your complaint has been personally

investigated and found to be. unwarranted. I can only
suggest that your lack of QSL replies is due to
erroneous reports:
Signed: O. Blunt, Chief Postal Inspector"

I was crushed. In a daze, I opened the other bit of mail, the

months-old DX bulletin. Then something caught my eye. It was a page
one announcement by the editor:

"The 1982 award for Man of the Year goes to Oscar M. Blunt,
a newcomer to the DX hobby. He is honored for his remarkable
achievements, which resulted in verifications from 215
different countries in the space of just three months time.
Congratulations, Oscar! Please tell us the secret of your
tremendous success!!"

I spotted this cover awhile ago in a large box of envelopes

at a stamp show. It was dated "April 11, 1944" but what on
earth was "Radio Nacional" and who would recall such a station?
You're right: Don Jensen fills in the blanks:

"I recall the old Radio Nacional quite well. It was my (and I
suppose most of my contemporaries') first Brazilian QSL, maybe
30 years ago. A quick bit of research here indicates that PRI7
was on 9720 kHz; PRL8 on 11720 kHz and PRI9 on 17850 kHz, each
with 50 kw. One of the few major atations in South America
back then."

This month we have a preview of the

new Radio Shack DX-400 direct entry PLL
communications receiver sent to us by
Dr. Scott Davenport of Tuscaloosa, AL.
Scott heard Harold Sellers' ANARC
Equipment Report over RCI in June,
mentioning the forthcoming DX-400,
and promptly called Tandy Corporation's
Ft. Worth National Advertising Dept.
We therefore have an advance catalog
description of this new receiver and
a photograph as well. Many thanks, Scott!

Similar to the format used by the SONY 2001 and 2002 receivers, Lhe
DX-400 has direct-entry pushbutton tuning and auto-scan, 6 AM and 6 FM
memory presets, lighted LCD frequency display, and a signal strength
meter. A choice of wide/narrow selectivity is provided plus fine-tuning.
Also included are an antenna trimmer and a 3-step RF gain control. A
sleep switch provides automatic shutoff, adjusted from 10-90 minutes.
Antennas provided are a telescoping whip and a BCH loopstick. A built-in
speaker is included plus jacks for external speaker, external antenna
and headphones. The price is $299.95 and the catalog number is 20-207.

Specifications: Frequency coverage is 150 kHz - 30 MHz, plus FM.

Sensitivity is given as: AM (except BCH and longwave) 1 uV for 10 dB
S/N ratio; SSB 0.5 uV for 10 dB S/N ratio; Longwave 5 uV and BCH 300 uV.
Selectivity is given as: ±›.
3 kHz at 6 dB, and +6 kHz at 50 dB in the wide
position, while narrow provides: +2.5 kHz at U dB, and +5 kHz at 50 dB. ,
Power requirements are six C batteries for the radio, plus 2 AA's for the
memory backup. It appears that a 120V AC supply is built-in. Dimensions
are 6" X 12 5/8" x 3 1/2", but the weight is not given.

No definite word on when this new receiver will be available, so

keep an eye on your local Radio Shack. Also included on the same catalog
page (79) is the new DX-360, and at $99.95 it appears to be their latest
entry for the beginning DXer/SWI. It covers AM, FM, plus shortwave in
the following bands: 4.5-5.5 MHz, 5.9-7.5 MHz, 8.2-10 MHz, 11.4-14 MHz,
14.6-18.2 MHz and 21-25 MHz, plus Longwave 150-260 kHz. Dimensions are
4 1/2" X 10 1/4" X 1 3/4". It is powered by 4 AA batteries. Radio Shack
is a division of Tandy Corporation.

Our hard-working publisher, Bill

Oliver, sends us information on the new
MFJ-103 24 /1 2 hour digital clock. It
features "pleasant blue" 0.6 inch
fluorescent digits and a battery backup
to keep the time on during power outages.
It requires a single 9-volt battery,
which is not included. It has an ID timer
that alerts you every 9 minutes after
you tap the ID/snooze button, intended
for the ham operator. It has a switchable

TECHNICAL TOPICS (oont'd)

Recently I obtained a copy of the Radio Society of Great Britain

(RSGB) Radio Communication Handbook, 5th Edition. This 778 page paperback,
like the ARRL Handbook, is intended as an all purpose reference for the
radio amateur operator. Of interest to us, however, are the rather extensive
chapters on receivers, propagation and antennas. The receiver chapter
covers the complete development of the superhetrodyne, with detailed
analysis of common design trends during their respective eras. Unlike most
contemporary references, this one has a number of vacuum tube circuits
which helps in understanding the evolution of receiver technology. Also
included are a number of current design trends, among them PLL circuitry,
and the now popular up-conversion technique. The propagation chapter is
equally impressive, with detailed explanations of the various mechanisms
which provide unusual reception conditions. The antenna chapter covers a
number of wire antennas, including several designs which provide a
substantial gain over the usual types we are most familiar with. This book
is available for $22 postpaid from the American Radio Relay League,
225 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.

John and I recently spent a weekend visiting

811111leflai friends in the Columbus, Ohio area and we couldn't
anirreur resist a side trip to Universal Amateur Radio, Inc.

ram Inc in nearby Reynoldsburg. We were given the red carpet

treatment by Fred Osterman, head of the SWL Department
which consisted of a tour of their facilities and a
demonstartion of various equipment. On display were
Japan Radio Corporation (JRC) NRD-515, plus the
commercial model NRD-92 and NRD-93, the ICOM IC-R70,
and Kenwood R-2000. The Kenwood is apparently the
house specialty as several modifications are available.
These include various filter options for improved
selectivity and installation of receiver incremental
1280 AIDA DRIVE tuning (RIT) which provides fine-tuning for the non-
REYNOLDSBURG, OHIO voice modes. Also on display were the Info-Tech M600A
and M200 RTTY converters. The M-600A provided Fred
(Columbus) 43068
an opportunity to show his expertise in this phase of
the hobby, as he patiently explained the flexibility of this versatile unit
and proceeded to log several different types of stations (various non-
broadcast radio services) for us. Also in stock are a number of useful
accessories and a very wide selection of reference books. The list of item,
they have available is rather extensive, so write to Universal Amateur
Radio, Inc., 1280 Aida Drive, Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068 for their lists.
Many thanks to Fred Osterman and the crew for a very enjoyable visit.

Some folks have inquired as to why I did not use a resistor on my

terminated longwire experiment as described last month. Side rejection is
accomplished in Beverage wave antennas by the very long length of wire
employed; a resistor is used to suppress the backwave, or signals off the
back of the antenna. With the relatively shorter length of wire used in
most longwire installations, it appears that side rejection is accomplished
via the grounded termination previously described. Consequently, we are
looking at a much different circumstance. The 120 ft. terminated wire
oriented at 160 degrees shows a rather pronounced lobe to the south and a
somewhat lesser lobe off the back (north). Due to the numerous arrival
angles by which a shortwave propagated signal is received, total side
rejection is not possible with this relatively shorter wire. Comparisons
made on 60 meters with co-channel African/Latin stations do show a
definite preference for the Latins, however. The other longwire (unterminated)
has been reoriented to 40 degrees and is now terminated via an earth ground.
Hopefully, next time we'll have the results of our comparisons with the two
terminated antennas.

That wraps it up for this month,

Listening by George J. Poppin

It has been a few years since I built my first crystal set and one-tube radio
receiver to my present FRG-7 with digital readout. I have listened to and verified
radio stations in many parts of the world, corresponded with radio enthusiasts from
Mauritius to Osowatomee, Kansas, have had representatives from several international
broadcasters at my wife Dottie's dinners, met a lot of real shortwave radio buddies
and have learned a great deal about people in all parts of the world. This has been
a most rewarding experience...thanks to shortwave radio. Now I am doing my bit to
let other people know about our fascinating hobby....informing them that SW radio
is not mysterious—that it can and is being heard right in their own area and at
any hour of the day. Please allow me to share some of my experiences in promoting
SW radio with you.

In 1981 my paper proposing that ANARC undertake a comprehensive analysis of

the actual and potential North American shortwave listening audience was read to the
ANARC Business Meeting of the convention at Thunder Bay. The proposal was adopted
by ANARC. I suggested that Dr. Kim Andrew Elliott coordinate the project since he
has produced such excellent information as a result of his surveys and studies.
More on this study will be provided later on.

My shortwave radio promotional projects on the local level have produced very
encouraging results. It is amazing what can be done in this direction if one is
enthusiastic about our hobby. One need not have the missionary zeal to get the
word across to the public but a little bit of that zeal, or one might call it an
interest in ecumenism, will help you in your endeavors. Due to the brevity of this
seminar I cannot go into a lot of detail but I will be happy to share those details
with any of my colleagues.

Having been in communication with several international shortwave radio

broadcasters from Beijing to Kampala since 1975 I learned that their volume of
listeners increased a bit since I started to send out press releases pertaining to
their programs and schedules to the local newspapers and ESPECIALLY TO THE ETHNIC
NEWSPAPERS! ! Thanks to Larry Magne who taught me how to prepare a proper press
release.

I learned that it helped a great deal to personally deliver the press release
to the editor of the newspaper. That personal touch helped! Many editors didn't
realize that SW radio programs were beamed from that language nation during prime
listening hours AND THAT THEY COULD BE HEARD!!! They published the press release
with my name and telephone number. Thus the potential listener could contact me
and I would provide information about the purchase of SW radios and how to properly
install an indoor as well as an outdoor antenna. I would mail the new listener
information pertaining to radio signal propagation, noise, interference, haw to
convert GMT to local time besides the station frequency schedules and programs.
I make follow-up telephone calls to the new listeners to determine how they are
getting along and to answer questions regarding SW radio which may be puzzling
them. I encourage the new listener to telephone or to write to me if any questions
arise regarding SW reception, etc..

The newspaper editors were put at ease once I told them that I wasn't in the hobby
to sell radios. The reader response has been very encouraging. One Creek-Orthodox
church bulletin published the entire press release in their parish bulletin and
this increased the responses from readers of Greek-American language newspapers.
I have invited some interested radio listeners to my QTH to get a first hand listen
to a broadcast from the nation of their heritage. That really clinched their
listenership and away they went to buy a radio set!!

Occasion has presented itself for me to tape news from Israel Radio so that
Carol Eisenberger, who produces a Sunday night program on KQED-FM, is able to
present listeners to her program with the latest news pertaining to that nation.
She always gives credit to Israel Radio for the news. I lent my old SONY SW radio
receiver to one ethnic agency to assist them in getting the latest overseas news
for their teJephone HOTLINE call-in nor, ire. I have attended newspaper seminar= and
conventions to spread the word about SW radio, got in touch with the various Consu-

to "gossip-type" columnists have yielded excellent results. Such as my items

an excellent program on bird protection in Beijing, got a copy of the script and
t to the local Audubon Society as well as EAST-WEST Chinese Pacific Weekly news-
..each had a mention of Radio Beijing. On and on... I have heard from California

e of the SW radio broadcasters and more of the manufacturers of SW radio

 REPORT ON THE 1983 ANARC CONVENTION

by Dr. S. David Klein, NASWA ANARC representative

The 1983 ANARC Convention was held on 15 - 17 July, 1983, at the Roselyn Westpark Hotel in
Roselyn, Virginia, just across the Key Bridge from Washington, DC. The convention vas
organized and hosted by the Washington Area DX Association (WADXA) under the able leader-
ship of Arlene Luskin. Attending the convention were representatives from most of the
ANARC clubs, broadcasters from • number of countries, and people representing all facets
of the radio listening hobby. The convention was centered around many formal activities,
but there was a great deal of time for just socializing. With an attendance of over 300,
a new record, from most aspects the convention was a success.

The convention formally opened on Friday at 5 PM; by that time, many people had already ar-
rived and were into the swing of socializing and examining the exhibits of various
receivers 6 equipment, and material laid out by several broadcasters. The pennants
brought as souvenirs by the representative of Radio Beijing quickly disappeared! After
dinner, a wine and cheese reception was held, compliments of several of the exhibitors.
This provided a chance for attendees to mingle and get to know their fellow
conventioneers.

Earlier in the day, the ANARC club representatives held their annual meeting. Several mat-
ters were discussed including the proposed revision of the constitution and by-laws of
ANARC. While several clubs, including HASWA, were ready to vote on the proposed changes,
it was found that a majority of the club reps had not been briefed by their clubs on how
to vote, and the matter was postponed to a later date. Also discussed were the ways that
-ANARC could help clubs to publicize the hobby (and themselves in the bargain). John
McCann, vice-President of HAP-USA, spoke to the delegates about his thoughts on the future
of that organization, which, under his forthcoming leadership, appears to be bright.

Saturday saw the formal portions of the convention, with six seminars and the banquet.
The first seminar was on "Publicizing Radio Listening," and serving on the panel were
Randy Erickson (Moderator), Ian McFarland (Radio Canada International), John Trautschold,
Chris Davis (Sony), and Alfonso Montealegre(Radio Nederland). A number of ideas on the
topic were presented, and there was the opportunity for some audience participation after-
ward. It was pointed out that Sony has perhaps done more to publicize our hobby with
their receiver ads than all of the clubs put together!

The second seminar was devoted to "Trends in Broadcasting, Equipment, and Listening." On
the panel were Kim Elliott (Moderator), Larry Magne, Chris Davis, Roger Legge, and Bob
Grove. During this seminar, topics ranging from receivers & transmitters to programs E.
jammers were discussed. The third seminar was on "Computers in the Radio Hobby;" seivIng
on the panel were Mike Levintow (Moderator), Bill Krause, Skip Arey, and Jon Cohen. A
number of interesting ideas on the use of computers were discussed, including mention of
some of the computers which are being used in the hobby; Bill Krause had his VIC-20 on
display. Some of the useful types of programs were also discussed.

After lunch, the fourth seminar was held. I should actually say "seminars" as ther were
several running concurrently on various aspects of the hobby (e.g., shortwave, mediumwave,
utility, etc.). The shortwave session (of most interest to FrenDX readers) had on the
panel John Trautschold of SPEEDX, Jay Goldberg of WADXA, Dr. Richard Wood, who was visit-
ing from Saudi Arabia, and yours truly as moderator. The format for this seminar was a
free discussion, and during the course of the session, topics ranging from QSLs to DRing
to SWLing to satellites and SW were diacussed.

The fifth seminar was on "Commercial Shortwave Broadcasting." Joseph Costello of WRNO and
George Jacobs presented a talk on the difficulties in obtaining a license to operate a com-
mercial SW station in the United States. After this seminar, Kim Elliott presented the
RIB awards. This vas followed by the last seminar, the Broadcasters Forum. On the panel
were representatives from RCI, R. Nederland, VOA, SRI, R. Sweden, R. Beijing, HCJB, BBC,
R. Earth International, Zambia BS, and WRNO. It was an opportunity for those at the con-
vention to question the broadcasters about anything and everything, and I suspect that
this was the most popular session of the day; it was quite well attended.

Following this was the ANARC banquet. After dinner speakers were Pat Gates and Phil Irwin
of the Breakfast Show on VOA, and Joseph Costello of WRNO. The ANARC awards were made,
and the ANARC raffle drawing was held.

On Sunday, the Annual General Meeting of ANARC was held. A number of motions were
approved, and Toronto was selected as the site of the 1984 ANARC convention. Shortly
thereafter, the HAP auction was held with Sam Barto as auctioneer. When all was said and
done, over $2200 had been raised to help the efforts of HAP.

ARMXC will no longer be announcing availability of QSL cards in any of its pgms, un-
less for spi occasion. Reports should be sent to ARDKC QSL Service, Box 227, Box
Hill Victoria 3128, Australia. Reports which satisfy our revised conditions will be
QSIed and sent by airmail (outside Australia). Conditions include: must be on club
official form or replica; r.p. required--two IRCs overseas; legible and detailed;
sent by airmail within one week of broadcast; non-members' reports should follow
EDKC Reporting Guide preferably on official report forms of DX clubs. Policy revis-
ions are partly caused by large number of reports received from overseas which are
illegible and very badly prepared. These emerge generally from North America, and
it is obvious that there are inadequate or ill-conceived guidelines available for
the correct manner in which reports should be submitted. This is something that the
primary DX clubs in NAm might address. Frankly, we've found that many reports are
atrocious, most are mere demands for a QSL, with little authenticating details. Re-
ports that are preapred on official report forms, issued by Clubs overseas, are in-
variably well laid out and properly written, Only one QSI. per station, even if
heard on more than one frequency. All this concerns ARDXC segments on these DX pro-

CHINA Re BPM time signals, July LN -18: The reason some Chinese IS are a fraction of
a second different from others, and from UTC is that some are emitted coincident with
UTt while others are 1311. A check of the last annual report of the Bureau Interna-
tional de l'Heure in Paris (the international coordinating body for time and frequen-
cy standards, to which our NRC and your NBS contribute,) shows that the BPM second
pulses (or ticks, like WWV's) are on UTC (actually fixed at 10 milliseconds in ad-
vance of UTC), while the short tone dashed (or beeps, like CHU's) are on 1311. 1311 is
'mean solar time' corrected for a slight discrepancy caused by a periodic wobble of
about 15 meters in the earth's axis of rotation. It is the true navigator's time
scale and as such is very practical, which is why many UTO time broadcasts also give
coded "dUT1" corrections in the form of double pulses or double beeps to allow a user
to derive UT1 from the UTC broadcast. UTC, of course, is the internationally coordi-
nated time scale which is derived from atomic frequency standards and which has, ther
efore, a uniform frequency scale. In spite of this uniform fq, UTC is kept within
9/10 second of the slowly varying 1111 scale by means of "leap seconds" which serve to
correct for the accumulated errors in time as practised. At mid-1982 the difference
between UT1 and UTC was about 609 ms, but by nearly the end of the year (the 95%
point) this difference had decreased to about 272 ms. And so it goes, with the leap
seconds being introduced at convenient times to keep the difference less than + 900
ms. There are also the UTO and 1312 time scales! Those interested in learning more
about this esoteric but fascinating subject can refer to: a) Time & Frequency Users'
Manual, NBS Technical Note 695, US Dept of Commerce, May 1977. b) Frequency & Time
Standards, Application Note 52, Hewlett-Packard Co., Nov 1965 (probably out of print
now but still available in many labs and libraries). c) NBS Time & Frequency Dissem-
ination Services, NBS Special Publication 432, Dept of Commerce, Sept 1979 (a brief
description only). d) the BIB Annual Report for 1982, Paris 1983, from M. le Direc-
teur, Bureau International de l'Heure, 61, avenue de l'Observatoire, 75014 Paris. In
this BPM is placed in Pucheng, China, 35-00 N, 139-31E; continuous on 10000; 14-24 UT
on 5000, 00-14 on 15000; UTC is given minutes 0-5, 15-25, 30-35, 45-55; UT1 5-10, 25-
29, 35-40, 55-59. So the Chinese aren't so crazy after all! (Martin Potter, Ont)
"There's a new Domestic Minorities lang pgm from CPBS. Whereas until recently (?)
the last in the series of xmsns beginning around 1100 ended at 1456 w/Kazakh, now
there's a new one at *1500-1556* on 11375 15670, very strong; turned out to be Mongo-
lian when compared with *1200 which was on at least 8566. Why two hours of MG in the
local evening series? Something to do with recent alleged hassling of Chinese in Mon-
golia? Tuning sig for these is long version of "East is Red"; the Korean *1000 on
8566 9920 used overseas version as do several if not all the others; Sun 17/7. This
is not the only additional glitch in BBCMS PRC material in July LN. 1400 Kazakh is
not on 8566 and lower; it's on 15670 11375. There are other problems in the Taiwan
guangbo sked; at least I was right in that there are now two distinct Taiwan pgms;
that much is not obscured by BBCMS errors -- and more in the ZRGD DS. But I can only
perceive them piecemeal. The 0300 RS on 17450 (and likely all associated with it)
is not reversed; but I have reported this before. Looks like the majority of prob-
lem relate to the info being last season's--actual fqs in use are generally higher
than what BBCMS lists. At almost every turn that BBCMS sked is in the Twilight Zone.
The DML bcs are almost totally different now that what's listed.
9380: I have been chiding myself for not tuning the bands enough ever since learn-
ing about the new ZRGD Taiwan guangbo outlet on 6095 and the newer still on 9455. I
made progress toward rectifying this with discovery of the unlisted-by-BBCMS Taiwan
guangbo outlet here at 1315 13/7, //11100 9455 (Program I). So there.
Interesting, Matthew Francis in Tasmania hearing RB EC on 11735 at 1200; will have
to check, since the BBCMS sked can't be trusted, but I think that would have put ES
right atop DS Pgm I also on 11735 at that time. As bureaucratic as the Chinese are,
I can't recall them screwing themselves up in such a way before. I'm sure it has
happened with the Soviets, who also seem unable/unwilling to work things out closely
with their satellites -- the cochannel junk on 12070 being a good example. There

time. Circa 1200, 1300... Sheesh, 19m--BBC on 11750 now badly bothered by RB up and
worse by Taiwan 11745, not to mention the Vietnamese a bit less than a kHz high.
Arggh. RB hrd 7/8 on 9535 11755 at 1300, but by 1600 was 11755 15200; 9535 off and
15245 a mass of jamming, so guess that's why they moved. Other programmed and an-
nounced //s also hrd. Local nighttime RB reception here awful; 9535 is incredible
when they use it, in local mornings.
When RB was on 15245, heard cw on it so started trying suspected feeder fqs. Hit
the jackpot on 6995: parallel ALA (hummy) QRM was on 6992, later moving closer to
6991. For a while RE engineers apparently got a notch on it, but it reappeared an
the RB sig when the fundamental went to 6991. Other RB parallel this day was 11755,
and QRM did not seem to be thereon, but as it's sandwiched so closely by Cuba-11760
and BBC-11755, beat notes at such a high pitch may have been masked by the 5 kHz ad-
jacencies. Only recognizeable characters from the ALA were "OMW" repeated several
times, and a few jumbled alpha-numerics. This 30/7 1239. Both test fqs have carried
identical ORM in past. You can tell if it's on feed by checking if it's on both
sidebands of RB signal. The feeder, by the way, is A3E, but with reduced carrier.
ITU nomenclature doesn't seem to know what to make of a reduced carrier AM radio-
telephone signal with both sidebands.... A UAO ham calling 00B CQ 6999 was not "re-
peated" via RB (David Newkirk, Seattle WA)

their respective provinces or communities. New net'd offer very attractive ad rates
for all 15 stns or for groups of not less than 4. In addn, pgms'd be prepared joint-
ly for net being. This applied basically to sports such as soccer, but something
similar was needed for cultural & educational pgms. They'd soon have ox, tnx to

cing use of a local SW radio stn to criticize and 'offend' the Cuban regime. Dom
Pres'd said a spi commission'd been set up to investigate Cuban claim and he'd
stressed that foreigners were not allowed to use Dom comma facilities tocarry out
political activities against other govts. R Earth said that tho the protest note
signed by the Cuban Couses Minister 'd said the stn'd been using secret being out-
lets, it had been confirmed that the stn referred to was in fact R Clarrn, the
same one used by R Earth, whose xmsn was preceded by a pgm oriented to Cubm and Ni-
caragua. R Earth added that its own pgms were totally independent, non-political
and non-religious and were directed to 'mass worldwide audiences'. It was hoped they
would not be affected if the Dom authorities decided to take any steps against the
airing of the pgms denounced by the Cuban authorities (WBI 28/7) See LMI, Cland...

6550 873 93.2 MHz (WBI 21/7) V of Arab Lebanon, controled by the al-Murabitun Inde-
pendent Nasirite Movement, reported that Lab Natl Resistance men'd carried out an opn
near border town Metulla against the R&TV installations of "the so-called Voice of
Hope belonging to Sad Haddad". A booby-trapped car carrying about 70 kg of explo-
sives had gone off near a bldg in Metulla, destroying a large part of the bldg and
causing casualties. Monitoring of ME TV ch 12 during eve of 23/7 showed it was on

Jonathan Marks visited new site on the open, windy, flat, desolate Flevoland Polder,
"the world's only underwater radio stn", 100m below sea level. Some masts already
up, three of five xmtrs installed, testing into dummy load. The 100 kW is a little
boomer for reserve. Being built in Belgium and delivered with most parts mounted. An-
tenna matrix system'll be computer controlled. Six masts are up, two halfway. No an-
tenna wire in place yet, but hoped to get on with that w/in next three weeks. First
ant to go up will serve N&SAm and As. Highest tower is 120m for 49mb. Took two days
to put up those large masts; positioning them required spi crane. Xmtr bldg also has
ant observation point, a sort of clear bubble atop, allowing engrs to look for physi-
cal damage caused by rotten wx. Several offls from other stns visit, incl a team
from Finland soon. Hope to go into full opn by end of 1984 (MN via Webster, DXO July)

about the opn of these stns. Both R Venceremos & RIM were located within El Salvador,
not Nicaragua as had been claimed by some opponents. RV was in Morazén province,

answered by a tape; seemed to have anticipated several questions so pre-recorded answ
ers, yes, no, Battle Creek adr, and then just pressed the right buttons. M & F (or
pretender) reading letters from praise from all over the world, including Khomeini and
a Cuban worker. Excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Closing ID by a

R Clandestine 2/7 0521-0557* on 7375. Nice mix of humor and soc, a switch from the

show, amusing little bit with string of IDs going on far too long, anmts by host R.F.
Burns, engineer Boris Fignutzsky and a YL named "Wanda Lust," who gave the stn's ad-
dr (Box 982, Battle Creek); mx included more conventional pirate-type fare as well
as an 'oldies' section w/2 songs. Hi quality bc, G strength, audio quality, fq selec

CANADA RCI is installing three new 100 kW xmtrs to replace the old 50s, and as a

mal schedule will be in effect, as it is on weekends. Similar restrictions on the
Eu svc, carried on Daventry relays only (RCI SWL Digest 20/8 4 Eu svc 21/8) The 50s
are hardly used by RCI at all but for the CBCNQSWS, so are the 100s actually for it?

This time we had 8 119 countries reported. Pretty good. Some excellent QS1s especially
from KNLS, Rio Muni, Peru, Vatan and others. This month we ran an all Asian Column. Not
too sure about next month but we'll have something interesting.
Art Kleiner of East Rockaway, NY sent along his greetings and his first contribution to
the column via WMR Radio. Bill Mayer will be attending Kutztown University in a few weeks
as a Political Science major. Hope we will hear from you every now and then - don't keep
your face buried in the books all the time. Paul Brouillette sends along a very nice note
about the Column. Thank you Paul. Barry Brenesal says that he gets rather apprehensive
when Manokwari or the Turkish Police Radio doesn't reply in 4 months. Don't feel that way
Barry - we all get the same

type of responce.
Carleton Neil a
reports only t, 41 L 171164, hw k rtt,
few QSLs are coming
through. Nothing unusual
about that - just keep
reporting what you get
to us. Leslie Byron say
hello to all his DXing
friends. He has been
under the weather a bit
lately. Get well quick.
We miss you Leslie.
Charles Foxx needs a
correct address for
Radio Globo in Brasil.
Any help?
I guess we can end the
QSL Column here. Best o
DX to everyone... .Sam.

At the beginning of the column, I said it was special and so it is. We've had a mighty
fine turnout given that it's the middle of the summer! It is also special, for me, in
that it marks my 18th column; I find it almost impossible to believe that I have been
doing this for a year and a half. I guess that what they say is true.., time does fly when
you're having fun! It's been that, and more.

This has also been a bittersweet column for ne because it is my last. When I took the
column, I told Bill that I'd do it as long as I could, but that if I ever felt I could no
longer give it my full effort, I'd give it up. My intention was to remain as editor for a
number of years. At that time, a year and a half ago, I had no idea that within a year
I'd be directing the publicity efforts of a major scientific meeting, yet that's exactly
where I find myself. That activity had greatly cut into the time I have available for
hobbies...or for editing a magazine column. I find it most regrettable, but have come to
the conclusion that I can no longer give the column the kind of attention that it
deserves, and that being the case, the time has come to pass on the reins to someone who
will be able to devote to it the effort that is required.

Having seen this coming a few months ago, I was able to make arrangements for a new
editor, someone who will do a super job. He is Mike Nikolich of Chicago, a well-known and
competent DXer, who is also very experienced at editing a DX column, having done one in
another bulletin for a number of years. Mike will be taking over next month...I hope that
you will support him as you have supported me. His address is: 2137 West Farwell Avenue,
Chicago, IL 60645.

Over the course of my 18 month tenure, there have been high and low spots, as there are
with anything. Of all that has transpired, I am perhaps most pleased by the fact that in
editing the column I have come to better know many of you, to the point where I now call
some of you friends. It is perhaps one of the most rewarding, yet little known aspects of
editing, and I'm pleased that I've had the chance. While my time is limited, I will still
be around, not editing, perhaps, but as a contributor...I am not leaving the hobby, as
many former editors do, having pushed themselves to burnout; this is more in the nature of
a sabbatical.

And so we come to the close. I can think of no better way to end than...
Until we meet again, hasta luego, até logo, à bientôt, and 3's & 7'

NOTICE: When sending in loggings, please try to only send the most recent ones. I often
receive ones which would be over 2months old when finally published. Since I usually
run short of space, from now on any loggings more than one month old will be discarded.
