Re: [HCDX] Dxers Unlimited script -weekend edition - 23-24 June
Radio Havana Cuba Dxers Unlimited Dxers Unlimited's weekend edition 23 -24 June , 2007 By Arnie Coro radio amateur CO2KK Hi amigos radioaficionados worldwide ! Your short wave receiver is now tuned to Radio Havana Cuba's twice weekly radio hobby program, Dxers Unlimited, with yours truly, Arnie Coro at the microphone. Here is item one: Solar activity still way down, with bottom low solar flux measurements of between 65 and 70 units. The sunspot count is ZERO... yes, you heard it right... a totally spotless Sun for the past several days ! Item two: DRM, Digital Radio Mondiale totally stalled, according to the opinion of several prestigious mass media experts, that rightfully have voiced their opinions: they are saying that without the availability of reliable , easy to tune and above all lower priced radios, capable of picking up the DRM short wave broadcasts , the digital transmission system is doomed to failure. Besides the lack of receivers at a reasonable cost , those who have already experienced DRM reception not at a one day demonstration, but on a regular , daily basis, are telling engineers that the total drop out of the audio output experienced by DRM broadcasts is very annoying to short wave listeners. For those of you not familiar with DRM, Digital Radio Mondiale, it is a standard specifically created to broadcast digitally, instead of using the classic analog radio modulation technologies, AM and FM that we listen to every day. Stations broadcasting using DRM have so far, that I know of , not made public audience research statistics or comments by potential listeners, something that in my humble opinion really doesn't help DRM at all, because lack of such information feedback from the potential audience is something to really worry about. According to several mass media researchers, the pattern followed during the introduction of DRM technology for short wave broadcasting is basically wrong, because low cost radios for DRM reception have not become available yet, and besides that, the promotion of the technology has also been mishandled by the DRM Consortium, who seems to be much more concerned about the engineering problems regarding the transmitters than with the actual reception of the broadcasts, although that seems to be slowly changing now. More about digital communications modes later , as Dxers Unlimited's weekend edition continues.. I am Arnie Coro in Havana, ... Si amigos, yes my friends, I want to ask each and everyone of Dxers Unlimited listeners around the world a single question today... Get ready for writing it down, as I think this is going to be the second open poll about DRM Digital Radio Mondiale In a couple of minutes I will be formulating the question, to give you a chance to find paper and a pen or pencil to write it down.. In the meantime let me add that radio amateurs are using digital communications modes with a high degree of reliability and energy efficiency... A keyboard to keyboard narrow band mode, PSK31 is now , at the low ebb of the solar cycle, becoming more and more popular among those amateur radio operators around the world that have learned how to connect their computers to their radios . PSK31 transmissions running between 10 and 25 Watts power have proved to be extremely effective on the 20 meters ham band, and as recycled computers become cheaper and their availability increases, more and more radio amateurs around the world are learning how to communicate using PSK31 Now, ready for today's question...Remember, the one about DRM digital broadcasting technology Here we go... Ready to copy ? Have you ever listened to Digital Radio Mondiale, DRM broadcast transmissions on short wave ? Again, here is the basic question Have you ever heard on your radio a Digital Radio Mondiale , DRM broadcast transmission on short wave ? And in case that your answer is yes:again, in case your answer is yes, give your impressions about those DRM broadcasts regarding quality and reliability of reception. So, in case you have listened to DRM add your comments about quality and reliability of reception to your YES answer to the question. As soon as all the answers are received here, I will once again, as I did about a year ago ,compile them and analyze them using standard statistical methods, and of course, made the results of this poll public, by reading them on the air, and publishing them on our website. Your answers about DRM will certainly help to have a much better picture of what's happening with this technology amigos ! ... Now, let's go to Arnie's workshop, where an antenna project is in the works, to help several of the new local radio amateurs that have recently obtained their ham radio license. This antenna is very easy to homebrew and has a very low cost. Readily available materials are used in the project and each antenna comes out of the workshop adjusted fo
[HCDX] Marconi v Telefunken - Radio NZ International's new documentary
Marconi v Telefunken and Pre WWII Pacific Airwaves On July 9 2007, Radio New Zealand International features a new Radio Heritage documentary during the Mailbox program and it's then available as a podcast for two weeks at www.rnzi.com. In 1894, New Zealander Ernest Rutherford carried out radio transmissions around the same time as Marconi in Italy, and just over a decade later, the German Telefunken company built the first wireless stations in New Zealand. There was another Pacific battle involving Marconi, and this one also included Telefunken too. By capturing the German station in Western Samoa, New Zealand even inherited a colony and the results are reflected today in the changing demographics of Auckland and other New Zealand urban centers. >From the world's longest two-way direct radio link in 1924, again featuring New Zealand, to a Vila based amateur radio enthusiast in 1928 whose detailed listener card sent to Queensland features in the program, the isolation of the Pacific was evaporating into the airwaves. Learn of the Hawaiian radio station that included New Zealand Times in its program schedules, how many Europeans tuned to VPD in Suva, and how Charles Gaveaux, owner of Radio Noumea, was able to keep his tiny station on the air. Gongs from KFI Los Angeles reached New Zealand every night and you'll hear other examples of how Pacific radio developed close links during the brief two decades before WWII reached the region in December 1941. Mailbox is broadcast via shortwave by RNZI [full program schedules and times at www.rnzi.com] and is also available by on demand podcast. Look for 'more audio' and click on Mailbox for July 9.

[HCDX] The Shortwave Report 6/22/07 ?Listen Globally!
The Shortwave Report 6/22/07 ?Listen Globally! by Dan Roberts ( outfarpress [at] saber.net ) Thursday Jun 21st, 2007 5:00 PM A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a shortwave radio. With times and freqs for listening at home. 2 files- broadcast and slow-modem streaming. Free to rebroadcast. China, Netherlands, Cuba, and Russia. Dear Radio Friend, The latest Shortwave Report (June 22) is up at the website http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59) This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia. >From CHINA- The long stalled 6-party talks with N Korea are moving forward now that N Korean funds seized by the US government have been released. The US says it opposes any attempt by the Taiwan government to hold a referendum on whether it should apply to the UN as an independent nation. Japan's parliament has voted to extend its air support in Iraq for another 2 years. >From NETHERLANDS- Australia, under John Howard, is spending around 7 billion dollars on 3 new warships- the question is, why does Australia feel a need for such equipment? An analysis of the West's isolation of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which will lead to a serious humanitarian crisis. >From CUBA- At a Human Rights conference in Dublin, former president Jimmy Carter accused the US, the EU, and Israel of dividing Palestine by financing Fatah, despite the clear victory of Hamas in 2006 elections. The US funded aerial spraying of coca plantations in Colombia has severely damaged the DNA of Ecuadorians living near the border- the herbicide being used is a form of Roundup, manufactured by US corporation Monsanto. A US court has heard the arguments in a lawsuit filed by Vietnamese victims of the aerial spraying of Agent Orange in the 1960s and 70s. The US dumped 18 million gallons of the herbicide in Vietnam, and since 1975 over 150,000 children have been born with birth defects. >From RUSSIA- US Army experts admit that about one third of US troops in Iraq are developing mental problems. A commentary on the Western support for the Palestinian faction Fatah, while providing no aid for the one and a half million residents of the Gaza Strip, which was militarily seized by Hamas. An article in the Washington Times states that China, Russia, and Iran present a new "Axis of Evil," equipped with nuclear weapons- a commentary says the article is an excuse for the US and others to further develop their own nuclear weapons. There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line at- http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories- shortwaves I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://radio.mediageek.net All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer. This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via There are several other streams that work better- < http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am and Saturday at 11am(PST) The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < http://www.radio4all.net/podcast.php/.xml?series=outFarpress%20pres ents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts) Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org > And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org > I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!

[HCDX] Antenna Soldering
I have been trying to solve a problem I have been dealing with for years. As many of you know I have the 1500 foot Eastern beverage. During storms, I have occasionally had breaks in the wire. Not often, but it does happen. For many years I have used these little $30 butane soldering pencils that give me maybe 40-50 watts (when new). Well, they never last long. They get clogged up or something happens. I am always buying a new one every year or so and maybe more often. The older ones ran hotter than the newer one, so out in out cool wet Winter I cannot often get the tip hot enough to melt solder. I would love to haul my 100 watt soldering gun out with me, but I don't have 110v hundreds of feet away. I do use it within a hundred feet of the house as I have cords to run a fair distance. Do they have a small rechargable power-pack that could be carried easily that I could use my 100w soldering gun? If so, any idea where I might find one? That would solve my problem. These small butane pincils just do not work out well for me. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Re: [HCDX] Antenna Soldering
N! Get Sears Craftsman propane torch kit that has two heads, one big-un and one small-un in a nice plastix box holding all including full size propane bottle (or MAP gas) I use MAP Gas and use the small un to do field soldring and brazing of small parts. the small head is only 3/8 at best flame width and makes a nice pin head blue flame. It's essentially your butane soldering pencil on steroids. With the BIG head I was able to braze the tail gate hinges back on my rusted out scout. Good tool.

Re: [HCDX] Antenna Soldering
Thanks guys for the input. No open flame for me, not with the high dry grass in the Summer months. But a better Butane or better than that a UPS unit to power the 100w solder gun would work well. Costco had a 1000w UPS for about $100 a while back. I wonder how long I could use the 100 watt gun with that fully charged? It might be heavy to carry out there though. I am not sure of the weight. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ---[Start Commercial]- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
