On To The Top by DON JENSEN

Part Three; HOW CAN I HEAR THOSE RARE STATIONS REPORTED BY TUB
EXPERIENCED DXers IN THE CLUB?
As suggested last month, knowledge is the key to success. DXers
should concentrate on learning all they can about the major DX bands
below about 7 MHz, starting with the best of the batch, 60 meters.
Concentrate on learning patterns of propagation; ideally the theoretical
hows and whys, but, minimally, observe and learn by actual on-the-bands
observation.
This leads to the next point of concentration.
Concentrate on certain stations. One reason experienced listeners
manage to hear the really rare ones is because having logged so many
stations, they can concentrate efforts on a relatively few wanted
targets. The less experienced, needing more stations, often take a
scattergun, hit-or-miss approach.
Por example, when a good opening occurs for Indonesia reception,
the leas experienced DXer might spend his time taking a log on RRI,
Ambon, 4845 kHz. He "needs" it and is pleased to receive a new one.
But the veteran, already having logged and verified Ambon, concentrates
on trying for the rarer Indonesians, say the local government station,
Radio Pemerintah Daerah Kabuptan Posot

page 2

CELomeAN. 30,36 ‘1,11I EC 3,
ALASIAT JI- l'AHLAWAN he IA •11, 4.i I65
6 6 t A 3AY‘

Ambon may be a good catch, a new logging for you. But wouldn't you
be happier receiving Poso? It takes self discipline to pass up a sure
Ambon for a chancier Poso, but the odds are that you'll next hear
Ambon --and get a reportable logging--far sooner than another crack at
Posot
The choice--and naturally you won't always opt for the chance of
hearing the ultra rare one over the sure bet logging--is tough for the
less experienced listener. It means gambling on the possibility of a
rare one and, for that day at least, passing by a medium-hard station
already at hand. The veteran DXer who has already eLed the easier
station doesn't have to think twice before chasing the really rare
outfits when top notch openings occur.
A word of caution here t Don't let the higher stakes--giving up
temporarily a sure catch for a gamble--color your judgment. Apply the
same identification standards you always do. The weak muddle down in the
mud may be Poso.... or it may not. Your gamble may not pay off. But
if it does....
The decision as to when to play it safe and take the needed logging
at hand, and when to gamble on the possible really rare one, is easier
if you have a 'want" list.
Rare is the experienced DXer who doesn't have his own list of most
wanted stations. Check on what others are hearing, particularly the
DXers you regard as "pros". Draw up a list of about 10 such stations
that you really want to log. In any situation where you're faced with
the decision to play it safe Lr gamble on the rare catch, let your
want list establish the priority. Concentrate on these stations when
conditions to a certain area of the world are most favorable. If you
have no luck, then go after the secondary targets. When you knock one
off, replace it on the list with one you badly want to hear.
Compile a "book" on each station on your want list. Minimum
information, of course, is frequency and the time when it is being
received in your area. Comb the bulliten for more tips; schedule,
language used, etc. Is there an especially favorable time "window"?
Perhaps the normally strong utility on he frequency is off Sundays.
Can it be heard only on occasions after a powerful nearby station signs
off? What type of programming would you expect to find? Country and
western music? Outdated U.S. pops? A French newscast?
In short, get all the background data you can. It'll help if and
when you actually do hear the station.
Finally, tune as often as possible for your most wanted stations.
Trying for it seven times a week is better than six, six a week is
better than four. Make the odds work in your favor:

NEXT MONTH....Identifying the rare stations.

Spain. It meant international recognition at last for this ambitious
station. "Emisoras Todo Evento" was born.

However, it's sports coverage that sets Emisoras Gran Colombia above it's
competition. Their slogan, "La Voz Deportiva de la Capital" is no boast.
Under the play-by-play announcing of Jacinto "Copa Mundo" Landózuri, a
veteran of Ecuadorian broadcasting, the station covers a wide variety of
sporting events. In fact, Emisoras Gran Zolombia sponsors it's own 22km
marathon each year, attracting some of Latin America's most talented athletes.

Paul and Marion Hale, who sent the above clipping, spent 19 days in China
recently as guests of Radio Peking. Paul writes, "We were invited because

understanding with Americans".

"In our travels we were escorted by a representative of Radio Peking and

an interpreter. In addition, our group was met in each of eight cities
by Officials of their local radio station".

TKE STATE OF THE ART by John Moritz Jr.

1983. A new year. Where does the hobby lie? While much has been done in the
last couple of years to bring together the dicing and SWLing group, there still
remains many differences between the two. These differences are usually the
things that stand out front and that are continually talked about in hobby
publications. But, much exists in common between the two groups. Our common
bonds in the same hobby are rarely, if ever discussed. The deer was, and still
remains the original program listener. It remains thedxer who digs heavily
into the music and culture of the station and country that he listens to. It
goes without saying that the SWL is also program oriented., but basically toward
a major international broadcaster. Still the similarity is there. But, he is
also a deer of sorts, finding new frequencies, new broadcasting times, new
programs.

A simplistic view? Perhaps so, but it is still very much to the point. We all
have much in common, and the idea of this column will be to bring the groups
together in a way that will be enjoyed and contributed to by both. Hopefully,
this will be for the benefit of our hobby and the stations we listen to.

But, what of the state of the art? From an equipment stand point we have entered
the computer age. Radios and cumputers have and will continue to merge in even
larger ways in coming years than in the last few. The next ten years in this hobby.
will see clubs owning computars. and indeed, will see computer log listings, and
computerized bulletins. Rock has hit the major broadcaster. More than any
other single force rock will be the medium of the new major commercial broadcaster.
WRNO and KYOI are the forerunners of this trend. Political persuasion and
national philosophy continue to dominate the established major broadcasters.
Then, there are those who march to the beat of a different drum. The Clandestine.
have also come of age.

What stake do we as hobbyists have in all of this? Of course, ours is only a

hobby. But, more than any other, our hobby is truly immersed in the events and
philosophies of the real world. The basic instincts remain the same. The guy
who first heard KDKA on his radio many years ago, and the guy who logs Falklands
today still get the same feeling of excitement and accomplishment. But, the
hobbyist has become sophisticated. We now see deers reporting complete ID texts
for Latins and Indonesians. It is no longer "in" to just say you heard an ID,
you should report that ID. Deers have gotten into the music of Latin America
and the historical perspective of those coLntries in such detail during the past
five years or so. Deers have become specialists. The SW1 is also more aware of
what he listens to, and writes to specialized bulletins about program content.
He is rightfully critical of things he hears on the radio. Also, both groups
are keenly aware of the fact that the bands are crowded, that power remains
supreme, and that something should be done to bring some logical peace to the
situation on the bands, especially above 6200 KHz.

What can we do together? Better, what should we do together? As hobbyists in

the coming years we must reach together for the common ground that exists
between us all and attempt to meld that into a force that has some say about
what we listen to on the shortwave bands, be it DX or SW. We must strive to-
gether to clean the bands of power pollution and piggy-back broadcasting. We
should and must be critical of trends that do not benefit us. The tropical
bands must be protected, not so much for the deer as for the purity of those who
seek to reach to the people in the heartlands. Confusion must no longer be the
norm on the international bands. We should even delve into the force of religion
on the radio and the force of politics on the radio. Third world broadcasting
must be allowed to develop naturally and on its own, not with the influence and
money of another country, or corporation behind it.

We should speak out for the right of broadcasters everwhert to speak the truth,
not the philosophy of the ruling body. This applies not only to the meager miner's
station in Bolivia, but also to the powerful Voice of America. But, we must
also speak against our stations moralizing to us. We want to hear about America.
the Soviet Union. Germerv,ngland, and othee countries. ihat we don't need or
want are the "facts" as seen by the various ruling political bodies of such count-
ries. We don't need the neoconservative morality of certain groups.or the trite
comments about human rights broadcast over Radio Moscow. Radio is for the
public consumption, and it should, to a large part, pay attention to that same
public, not dictate to them. Culture, history, music and entertainment.
Willis Conover, BBC Rock Specials, As it Happens, these are instances of radio's
finest moments.

IT WINDS yo ME (cont'd)

Yes, as different groups in the same hobby we do have much in common. Let us
attempt to work together in these pages to not only better our hobby, but the
world and the people we listen to as well. Of course there are different points
of view, of course things are not as simple as I have presented them. But, the
merging for the common good must start somewhere. Let that place be in the
pages of "It Sounds To Me". _

In coming months we shall delve into politics and religion on the radio. We shall
look at rock on the radio. Is it.good or is it bad? We shall look into
philosophies of broadcasters, and we shall also examine ourselves. I look forward
to hearing from many of you.

Our only criteria is that you do not attack personally a fellow hobbyist. His
ideas are open to attack, but not him personally. That is it. Say what you
might, in a logical and intelligent fashion. Finally, it should also always be
noted that the opinions that will be presented in " It Sounds to Me" are those
of the individual expressing them, and not necessarily the policy of NASWA and its
governing body as a hobby publication.

I want to publicly thank my good friend John for assuming the rather tough
task of editing "It Sounds To Me". Not many can do it. In fact. I thought
of shelving the column for awhile, at least until I could find the right
person to handle it....one with a strong hobby background, especially in
NASWK, and who is articulate. John qualifies on all counts. Those who are
fortunate enough to know him can attest to the fact that he has some very
compelling views on our hobby, as you'll surely discover in the coming
months. I hope you'll respond with your point of view as well. We'll all
be better for it. (JH)

A Shortwave Center Short by Al Sizer

Do you know anyone who has a QSL from that ultimate, Tristan da
Cunha? Well, there's a well known sailor-author who has sort of a
(ISL....his name, Tristan Jones.
As he tells the story in his new book. "A Steady Trade--A Boyhood
at Sea", he was born May 5. 1924 in his father's sailing vessel during
a raging storm, 150 miles north of Tristan da Cunha. It was a difficult
breech birth and the captain and mate got directions by radio from a
doctor on Tristan, although they could not hear very well in the storm.
As a result, the baby was named, "Tristan Jones'.
Jones says the wheel has turned full circle, for now, almost 60
years later, the present doctor on Tristan da Cunha has named his son
after Tristan Jones, the author!

inRA LOS DXISTAS ACTIVOZ! Remember Pitt McNeil's article in the November
1980 SWC on recordings of Andean music? If you're like most, trying to find
these records in a store can be frustrating. The folks at IPANEMA RECORDS
have a free catalogue of Latin American records, including many of the
central Andean albums Pitt mentioned. Write to them at Box 49452, Austin,
TX 78765. Or try MIRO MUSIC (Box 342, Old Chelsea Stn., NY, NY 10114)
for recordings by Chilean vocalist Victor Jars or the folklorico group,
Inti-Illimani, featured recently on the PBS series, "Flight of the Condor'.

por the bookshelf, a free catalogue is available from WAYFARER BOOKS

(Box 1121, Davenport, Iowa 52805) which includes. The Indonesia Randbook,
The South Pacific Handbook, great backpacking books on Peru and Bolivia,
language cassettes (even Parsi) and alot more. For Andean enthusiasts who
enjoy rising early to hear Radio Ruancavelica,.I recommend "A Traveler's

of us who deal in the physical sciences would be lost if every generation
had to rediscover fire and the wheel. Metaphysicists among us find greet
solace and direction from the musings cf those long departed. And, of couse,
aur hobby is sufficiently oriented ta the physical sciences and humanities
ta benefit from similar perspectives.
Me cum story might well be entitled feam "Sears ta Silver-Marshall".
Having need of s radio for the lot-site, / went to the local Sears stare.
The run-of-the-mill AM-PM that I was searching for temed out to be e multi-
band portable that was than an closeout sala. The discovery of (God forbid)
Mosoau and the BSC impressed me. The vast *mount at fare engrossed me. And,
somewhere along the line, I was bitten (rather a bit harshly) by the DX bug.
eeL cards began ta turn up in me mail with interesting game/ate and outright
propaganda. (I maeored in poli-soi.) enfartunately, me portable had a few
shortcomings. Sensitivity and selectivity were rather high an this list.
The deluge at equepment pemphlets and spec sheets began to outstrip
the number of rens taking residence in ey daily mail drape The sight of this
dazzling receiver4and that immensely prefessional looking one,was only equal-
ed by the heavyweight price tags attached to them.

 It was at this point that I began to discover the intrinsic worth
of some of the old workhorses. Jim Fred's Antique Radio Corner column in the
;now deceased) "Elementary Electronics" magazine was a great help in enter-
ing the hobby of old radio. Organizations such as the Antique Uireless As-
lociation and the Antique Radio Club at America foster a fraterity of both
callectors and restorers. These people are an extremely valuable group of
man and women wha are presently in the process of preserving and passing-on
a heritage of early technology. They are sincere; and, generally, they are
'very friendly. Jim 'red is but one of them.
The next step in my new hobby was the acquisition of vintage gear.
The alder receivers are electronically similar to modern gear in a circuit-
aamparisan. They merely weigh about five times mare. Boat an.
chars; 3ht, some of those boat anchors are comparable only ta modern sets
costing (quite literally) thousands of dollar,. The abject in to learn this

Man and acquieition. Onoe again, the club contacts are very important.
my search led ma through the flee markets and garage sales; it
took mn through suctions; and, it made me carefully examine the want ads and
trading newspapers. Ever sa slowly, I began ta acquire both communications
ear and same of the most beautiful home furnlabings ever produced. These
investments (for that is what they really are) are primarily historical and
aesthetic. You see, vaen I began to collect the military hardware far DXing,

Same at us have a need te work with am hands. The next lagical
step is the study of electronics and the electronic restoration at these old
7riends. / an firmly of the belief that education must be based an a program-
eon frost simple principles ta suaceedingly more complex units. I began at
the crystal set and wave traps. Throe radio frequency receivers came next.
Then I moved an ta the li censees"' and %ate". I learned of the developments
In vacuur tubes. Ind then they rediscovered the wneel that I was referring
ta earlier. We want back ta the little crystal. Only this time it was sill-
oc: and not galena.
While gaining this knowledge, I became enthralled with the fact
that the circuits are essentially identical whether they are composed at the
old "valves", or at modern semiconductors. The thrill of taking an orphan
radia like my atanster Kent Model 35 and fixing the years of disrepair, than
pulling in stations from all aver the mid-west, was extremely satisfying. A
clean-out here and an RP alignment there, and pretty soon I had a stable at
succeases.
Samenchere alone the line, I felt that something was missing in
7RENDX. I wanted to see radio history in it. I felt that this was a part
of our heritage every bit ae important as Hiram Maxim wee to our cousins in
the hem:bands. The concept seemed ta work well with S. Hence, I worked

Somewhat to my surprise, tae answer was posted that indeed this
was e workable idee. I was handed over to folue.john, and the rest is in the
library an the shelf at your shack. The omnipotent editor and publisher

ers. Merry at us are so busy that we can hardly get ta the set anymore. à

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POMP-I Introducing from Kenwood,

KENWOOD the new R-2000. This entry is no doubt entered to be

in competition with the new ICON R-70 also just ap-

The R-2000 is an all-mode SSB, CW, AM, Selectivity: 6 KHz wide or 2.7 KHz
and FM receiver that covers 150 KHz to narrow. This is better than the
30 MHz in thirty bands. Like the ICON, R-70 offers. What's more, even the

REBROADCASTING PROJECT FOR REMOTE LISTENINC ON A PORTABLE RADIO

Sometimes, hobbyists might like to listen to their favorite shortwave program

or even a cassette tape while puttering around the house, but cannot very
well take a cumbersome shortwave receiver or large cassette player around
wherever they go. Even TV audio can be tuned remotely, by using your small
portable radio. The project erich follows requires a minimum of parts, but
you might have to shoo around or purchase special the crystal needed for the
job. To use this gadget, merely plug your TV, Cassette, or receiver audio
into the SZ input, and then tune your portable radio to above 1600 KHz for
around-the-house wireless reception.

-ia Careful examination of the

schematic and the board layout
will indicate where the various
components are mounted. Resist-
ors and Capacitors are indicated
between which two holes they
should be mounted in.

Good Luck' Specific questions

may be asked of the editor. But

Parts Needed: 1 - 1610 KHz crystal (or any freq. above 1600 KHz that can
still be tuned on your portable) Such crystals might be
found in surplus houses, or Jan Crystals, for instance.
2- 2N2222 NPN transistors - common as daylight
1 - 2KOhm to 8 Ohm audio(miniature) transformer.
1 - 1 milliHenry choke OA
1 - Cermet -type trimmer capacitor having 25pF range (10pf)
1 - 160 microHenry choke (or close)(LO
And, other watt resistors, 12volt capacitors as indicated

Construction Notes: All parts are located in their own spot on the board.
Only one extra piece of wire is needed to jump from Point A to Point B.
The Antenna output may be either a 3 or 4 foot piece of wire, or for best
results (AND USE SAFETY AND CAUTION HERE, DON'T GET SHOCKED!!) install a
much longer wire around the perimeter of your house, or in the attic.
Other equipments found on the commercial market can inject such signals into
your house wiring for down-the-street ranges, but such application is both
dangerous, and illegal, and I strictly caution against doing this.

One last note on use of chokes, etc. The final Choke -and its capacitor are
matched to the crystal used. A 50 microNenry choke and a 300 pF capacitor
would also give similar results. There are other combinations, too. If a
higher freq. crystal were chosen, the combination would have to match it.

Essentially, all we are doing here is making a 1600 KHz oscillator, and
modulating it with ordinary audio sounds thru the transformer. Can you
think of other uses and variations for this gizmo?

Newspaper Times" of Malta on 2/12 & 3/12 provided further details of the agree- •

.okk area, and that bes'd resumed at noon local 2/12, "exactly 3 months since the
upply had been cut off' following enactment of the Foreign Interference Act. Under
ragreement: DW'd have right to use the being & other facilities at the two sites
mriod of 8 yra until 1990 (Ed note: previous one was until 1995). Relay stn'd be
milable to govt, or third parties authorized by govt, for max 141 / hours on SW and 9
2
revery day. First 5 on SW and first 5 MW hours utilized'd be free of charge, but
!I hours utilized'd be paid for by govt at rate of 40 Maltese pounds per hour for SW
for MW. DO'd be able to une temporarily any hours allocated to govt but not actual-
by it or by govt-nominated third parties. Maltese govt'd be required to ensure
s by 3rd parties didn't contain matters "likely to affect adversely the friendly re-
between Malta 6 Germany". The airtime allocated to govt'd be 0101-0130, 0700-0900,
45*(Sat & Sun only), 1500-0100 on SW motr one; 0700-0900 on SW loner two; and 0101-

lause 15 stated "this agreement shall cease to have effect on the expiration of one
om its coming into force and the govt & DWI' revert to the faxual position in which

Page 18
they are on the day immediately preceding the coming into force of this agreement, unless,
before expiration of the period aforesaid, the relations between the Govt of Malta & the
Govt of FRG have improved sufficiently to the satisfaxion of the Govt of Malta and a decla-
ration to that effect has been made by the Gaet of Malta prior to such expiration". The li-
cence to be granted to OW under the new agreement'd lay down that, apart from "normal and
objectively presented news iteme", bes from Mi should not be concerned with the internal af-
fairs of Malta, "and shall not be of a matter likely to affect adversely the friendly rela-
tions of Malta with any other country or Maltn's status of non-alignment". DW'd be committ-
ed to engage as many Maltese citizens as possible in opus of relay stn.» and ancillary ins-
tallations and'd, within 2 yrs, train its Maltese personnel to be able to run the sue should
any such need arise. After two yrs the expatriate personnel'd not exceed four and each such
expatriate'd be required to have a Maltese understudy. Relay stn at Xrobb I-Ghagin current.-
-
ly employe 43 Maltese and seven German engineers. Coved, under new agmt, reserve right to
bc anmts and other mega which might be required to be broadcast by any law, as well as offi-
cial artists in the event of a public emergency or natural disaster. On termination of the 11
cence DW'd be required to deliver the relay at and ancillary iastallations, incl all equip-
ment, to the govt.
The newspaper reported the Maltese Prime Miaister as stating that most of the foreign in-
terference in Malta's affairs had come from Germans and the goy,: had wished to ensure that
such interference stopped before the agreement came into operation and, in fact, the agree-
ment was more of a package deal with Germany than a private agreement with Mi. The newspa-
per stated that the PM had said that, under agut, German govt'd promised to support Malta's
case within the European Community and to provide economic aid for Malta's neutrality (WBI
16/12) In my opinion, DW paid too high a price and has grossly compromised itself (gh)

Membership was open to all Med countries embracing principles of peace & neutrality. It was
also open to other countries embracing the same principles and liming close affinity to the
Mediterranean. R lied studios and adom were situated at St Francis Ravelin, Florian*, which
used to house the BYES studios. R Med'd have a regional character w/following objectives:
to bc faxual info on current events, as well as political, economic, social, scientific,
cultural, musical and sports Nome of interest to countries bordering the Mediterranean;
to promote regional understanding by encouraging relations for mutual co-operation among
Mediterranean countries;
to promote the natural role of the Med as a :Jeke of peace and a zone of contact between
the peoples of Europe, Africa and Asia;
finally, to provide a svc of info which took into consideration needs & cultural aspira-

PUBLIATIONI Review of international Broadcasting is getting ahead, only 12

days separating publication of the January and February issues.
Plans to publish roughly every three weeks during next few months. Samples are offered to
acquaint potential subscribers with the magazine. „lanem issue, some copies of which may
still be available includes a 24-page "Listener Insights on Programming" section, country
by country with listener reviews, press reports; program schedules for R Tirana, R Austra-
lia, R Sofia, RBI, Israel Radio, RAI in Italian, R Pyongyang, R Varitas, REE's new 24-hour
world service in Spanish; and an 11-page "Report from the Virgin Islands" of gh's AM & FM
observations, by frequency; and a "Report from Honduras" by Don Moore on his station visits.
February RIB contains: A 2-page article (plum cover illustration) of R Gambia's history
and programming; 7-page Equipment Forum, edited by David Newkirk; an article on foreign re-
porting of the US elections; "Pirate Solutions", two articles by Gerry Bishop and Loren Cox.
Full text of "1982 -- The Shortwave Year in Review" by gh as broadcast on RCI; an 11-page
'DX Listening Digest" compiled by gh, format similar to LN but very little of the info du-
plicating LN; February programming hilites on CBC/RCI, Radio Peking, R Budapest; and pgm
skeds from R Bucharest, R Tashkent; and full February programming details for BBC World
Service including minute-by-minute sked thruout the week, totalling 7 pages on BBC alone.
Samples of RIB are $1.25 each by first class in Nam, $2 by airmail elsewhere. For samp-
les, cash, stamps, check or money order OK, but must be in US funds drawn on a US bank. Sub-
scriptions art still $15 US for 12 issues, no stamps: by first class in NAm; US$ 20, 22 or
24 airmail overseas depending on zone; order from Glenn Hauser, Box 6287, Knoxville TN 37914

Unofficial Radio Bulletin In June 1982 LN this was mentioned under Publications. I sent
them the money for a copy of URB on July 2, On Aug 4, I advised them I had never received
their publication. Aug 12 they replied that I would got one in about 3 weeks. I wrote them
again Nov 29 explaining that none had been furnished. To date I have not received a reply.
I must now consider my money gone on another 'rip-off' as it is quite obvious their opera-
tion was a SCAM::: I wonder how many more people were taken in? This mode of operation
seems to be quite prevalent as in the past year I have been the victim on several other op-
erations of this type. A line cost publication, but it is never furnished. Well, I don't
intend to be taken anymore, as I have ordered my last publication by mail. They can fur-
nish me the item FIRST, and then I will pay them! (L P Benjamin, Lompoc CA, 9/1)
Sorry to hear this; I know URB did exist because they sent me a copy and it was well
done. I wouldn't accuse them of a deliberate scam, but those losing interest in putting
out a publication, once it has been publicized, certainly have an obligation to make re-
funds. While t hope anything mentioned here will come thru, NASWA can't be responsible,
and any orders must be placed at readers' risk. I hope anyone else not getting results
from publications mentioned here will quickly let all other readers know about it (gh)

The ACE, monthly bulletin of Association of Clandestine Enthusiasts, keep growing; the Jan
