[HCDX] Radio Sweden Intl ceases with transmissions on short and mediumwave

2010-03-19 Thread Christian Stödberg
Radio Sweden Internationall will cease with its transmissions on  
short- and mediumwave at 31:st October 2010. The reason is short- and  
mediumwave seems a bit old fashioned and the listeners prefers  
internet according to Radio Sweden Internationall. Instead Radio  
Sweden will continue its transmissions on the internet. Several  
foreign languages broadcasts will also cease after 31:st October 2010.


Radio Sweden hoped that DRM would have had a larger break-through on  
the shortwave.

Re: [HCDX] Logs

2010-03-19 Thread Joe Strain aka Yodar
the signal point of ORIGIN is what I think is important on a signal  report, 
not the politics of the producer of the signal CONTENT

I don't consider a CRI signal from Havana as significant as a CRI signal from 
Beijing

Just My opinion on things, but I am new at this

Yodar



Words MEAN things.

AS do the words in our constitution, 

  they are not meant to be nuanced, 

 but READ AS writ!

Some of us care where signals actually come from (out of SW transmitting 
antennas in a certain country). Really. This directly affects how well you 
will hear them or hear them at all. Observing how propagation works is part of 
the game. In this case it might also be significant that Taiwan does not keep 
its transmitters on-frequency. If you do not care about any of this, that`s 
fine and your privilege. I will try to remember to avoid clarifying your logs 
in this way. Personally I find YFR programming useless and of no interest 
whatsoever, so looking into the more technical aspects keeps hearing it from 
being a total waste. 73, Glenn


Very true, but what confused me is that I never specify the transmitter 
location, when I used to keep a log book I would have put the transmitting
country as Taiwan or what ever for my country count, but not now days.
I am on other hand enjoy what the programme content is, like to hear both side 
of the argument so to speak. 
I have no objection to you or any one else correct my logs
cheers, John



Once you've accumulated sufficient knowledge to get by, you're too old to
