[HCDX] Tough Lamp RF Noise
Hi: My neighbor received two touch lamps for Christmas. My eastern beverage runs near her house and I am getting some buzz noise from them. At least it is not as bad as a dimmer though. I am on friendly terms with the lady. Do any those plug-in line cord filters work on Touch lamps? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks. 73s, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KAVT Reception Manager ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out! Preorder yours now!

Andree.Bollin, Germany, wrote: has anybody heard this station on the 15th?? Here was no sign of it. It was heard by a few locals in and around Gothenburg. One of those, a friend of mine, described the signal like this: I have had better signals from stations with electrical power problems in the Bolivian jungle that I got from this transmission in my own home town. According to Swedish information the organizers had problems with the transmitter, which was a modified Icom 706. The problems were related to a couple of 813 valves which didn't function in some amplifier. With a working amplifier they had hoped to get 250 watts of radiated power, with a lone Icom 706 they didn't get close to that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hermod Pedersen, HCDX Web Editor http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out!

RE: SV: [HCDX] MW DX Equip Advice
AVOID the Tecsun, it's a good radio for under $100.00 but (I have the Grundig R 350 counterpart) it fails to be able to seperate stations and their images.. My favorite LOCAL AM 740 Khz sports station is effectively neutralized at DAWN by several unidentified Spanish Speaking stations that cannot be tuned out while l my DX 398-ATS-909 effectively IGNORES the unwanted stations at the same time Yodar Words MEAN things Original Message Follows From: Bjarne Mjelde [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Hard-core DX [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SV: [HCDX] MW DX Equip Advice Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 03:02:00 - Sounds like the Icom R-75 might be a good choice for you. Combines ease of operation with excellent performance. Depending on where you live, it can be found new as low as USD 500. It is often seen on internet auctions like ebay too.

I have several radios that do okay for casual use, but I'm looking for something a bit more serious. On the low end there is frequent mention of the GE Superadio (which I have) and the CCRadio (which I also have), and I've seen a few mentions of the newer Tecsun BCL-2000 as a fairly serious contender in this price range. All of these radios are typically described as pretty decent for casual use, but not really sensitive enough for true DXing. On the other end of the spectrum I've seen the Drake R8B described as being one of the better choices for BCB DXing (in addition to just about any other kind of AM DXing). Does anyone know of a currently produced radio that would perform better than the low end models but cost a bit less than the R8B? I've seen the Lowe HF-150 mentioned as an excellent BCB DX machine, but it's out of production and I haven't seen any used ones advertised recently. (Though I may not be looking in the right places.) I'm aware that the radio is just part of the overall equation. For the moment, though, that's the part I'd like to address. Any input on this topic will be greatly appreciated. -- Jay __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Before the logs a quick plug for the New Zealand tourist industry. If you fancy a holiday with a long surf beach as far as the eye can see, crystal clean water with no nasty stinging creatures, wine farms within driving distance, fishing par excellence and great DX for the Americas and parts of Asia and the Pacific, try Ohope Beach on the North Island's east coast- the aptly named Bay of Plenty.
