[HCDX] AOR

Hello To ALL! I am considering the AOR AR8600 MarkIIB receiver. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience with this brand and/or model. I don't wish to spark a ridiculously long thread but I would also appreciate views on what the experienced DXer considers to be a high performance

[HCDX] KYOS

I used to live in Merced as a teenager and listened to KYOS which had a street facing windowed DJ studio. I lived around the corner on East 17th Street and the KYOS studios were on 18th and G Street if I remember correctly? Brings back memories. I suspect Merced has grown from about 25K

[HCDX] Air FM Gold and or Voice of Greece

I happened across what I figured to be DX thanks to the rapid QSB. I have Ham Radio Deluxe which includes a shortwave database. It identified it as: Air FM Gold at 9425 time 0347Z Q3/4 S5-7, Windom 132 ft dipole. Obviously Hindi or similar music. Then at 0355Z I heard This is Athens, this the

WHKT is part of the Disney Radio network and hides behind the company website. However, their phone number is: 519-9171 in Hampton Rods, VA. I suspect that you have to go through Disney corporate offices to get a QSL out of them. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV

[HCDX] ATUs aka antenna tuners

Sean In the ham world we call them antenna tuners. Try looking at what MFJ has to offer. Since you're not going to be applying transmit power you do not need to worry about power handling capability. I would get one with the ability to handle wire and coax antennas. MFJ is not the only option

[HCDX] HF TV

I've been copying SSTV (Slow Scan) on 14230, 21340 and 28680 primarily for the past 2 months. I misread Jouko's comments. I thought he had received a commercial Fast Scan signal. Normally fast scan requires considerable bandwidth making it unsuitable for HF use. But with the advances in

I would like to correspond with an experienced digital modes utility enthusiast. I have tried several different software packages with little success. I did manage to tune in a couple French Navy stations in the 8MHZ band on RTTY 75/850. I have tuned in W1AW bulletins in the 20M ham band. Long
