TIPS on hearing your favorite radio stations!
IF your readers will give me a description of their shortwave or
medium-wave receiver, model brand and most of all , DOES IT HAVE
EXTERNAL antenna connections?? I will be glad to help them with
reception problems. If your readers should decide to purchase an older
tube-type short-wave receiver they should make sure it has a control
labeled "antenna trimmer", this control will electrically tune the
antenna for the desired freaquency. On some receivers this control may
be labeled "pre-selector". Following is a list of the most popular
short-wave bands (49 meters) 5,980 to6,200 kilohertz. (41 Meters)
7,300 to7,425 kilohertz. (25 Meters) 11,800 to 12.025 kilohertz. (22
Meters) 13,600 to 13,800 kilohertz. (19 Meters) 15,100 to 15,400
kilohertz. If you wish to check your watch for accuracy, tune the
receiver to 2,500khz, 5000 khz, 10,000 kilohertz or 15,000 kilohertz.
The time will be announced in UTC (universal coordinated Time) formerly
GMT Greenwich Mean Time. The 24 hour "military time" is used, 1 am is
0100 hours 1 pm is 1300 hours, midnight would be 2400 hours. IF you live
near Ottawa, Ontario tune the receiver to CHU 7333 khz. The time will
be announced in Eastern Standard Time in both French and English. The
pitch of the tone on the US WWV changes every 15 seconds, so you can
get your wattch accurate to plus or minus 15 seconds if the watch has a
second hand. This is important if you are driving a freight train and it
is only 3 cars long and you do not wish to be "rear-ended" by one that
is 100 cars long, and therefore much heavier. My uncle was a conductor
on the GM%O Railroad and every 3 months he had to turn in his watch to
be checked for accuracy. If it lost or gained more than 1 minute in 24
hours, the railroad would fix the watch or tell him to "deep-six" it if
it would not be accurate to within 1 minute in 24 hours. No sense
playing the part of Casey Jones and getting scalded by the steam in a
train wreck! You can write to me.
EMAIL
TIP from WMKY DJ, and my buddy Sandy Knipp.
When listening to bluegrass turn the volume up. The kids may be listening.
The GE Super Radio is an excellent radio for around $50.
Use an external antenna if you can. Radio Shack has a good one (part number 15-2163) that can mount outdoors, or in an attic for around $20.
If you're using an FM antenna the higher in the air the better!
If you want to go for some gusto use it with a rotor so you can turn it toward the desired station's transmitter. Rotors run in the $35-$75 price range (also available at Radio Shack).
