Substantially poorer conditions today. A touch more DU, but it was
mostly the collapse of Asian signals that defined it. And, who knows why?
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):
not very likely
Reasonable audio at times during the
Hi Guy,
Thanks for posting your initial impressions on the CC Skywave SSB model, and
I'm happy that the new radio is meeting your expectations.
<<< On weak daytime signals its almost as good as the 909X and Satellit Exec
but falls behind on the weakest of the MW signals... that's expected
The NZ Radio DX League's Bryan Clark located ~100km north of Auckland
asks the same question?
He had been registering Kiribati's tx slightly offset to the low side of
846, along with someone exactly on 846.00 -- which he presumed to be
Newstalk ZB from Masterton/Waingawa down near Wellington.
Since I've been trying to hear Kiribati on 846 over the past couple
of weeks I've always had a good carrier from 0530ish until when it goes
off at variable times around 1000 UT. Last night I didn't hear a
trace of it all night. Conditions wouldn't seemed to have changed

I received my *Skywave SSB* yesterday... it's a nice unit! The packaging
and accessories make a good impression too. I like it better than the
original Skywave for sure.

774 Japan had decent audio for awhile; not much else. Everything shut
down after about 1430 utc. Sunrise 1414 utc.
594 Japan 1403 utc very poor male talk
774 Japan 1402 utc very poor/poor male talk; 1427-30 utc poor (AM sync
detector). No EE lessons today.
972 S Korea 1405 utc very poor
Then you may not need a transformer. If you can record on the recorder with
just a cable now, that shouldn't change.
It should actually be less effort to install a new jack as it wouldn't
involve undoing the existing wiring.

My vision is not as sharp as it once was for fine electronic work. I can still
do it, but I need some bi-focal I presume. I will get my eyes checked this
coming year as at 70 (2019) I will need to get my DL renewed. I will look into
that then. I still do not need glasses to drive, but it is
I would just want to record with my old cassette deck Russ. I may take the
radio into a shop in Portland to have it done. I do see a mini jax on the back
that has audio in for an MP3 player. That jax should be able to be used. I do
not need audio in anyway.
