RENAISSANCE RADIO
Bill Taylor, editor of "Vintage Vignettes", has begun a new service for the repair and restoration of old radios called "Renaissance Radio". Any radio from between 1920 and the Korean War will gladly be accepted for service with ham gear and early AC home sets a specialty. The service is available during the entire year, but mainly between November and March. Bill requests that those interested write first and include a brief description of needed service, weight of unit, whether a manual is available with the receiver, and, of course, an SASE.

/ OCTOBER, 1982 /
Well, here we are again. After a bountiful month last month, we settle into a rather sparse month now. I run my explanation of "list-logging," which was run in SPEEDX in my column this last August. I apologize to those who also read SPEEDX, but I think that the subject is important enough to merit printing in FRENDX as well. Bear with us for this page or so. Bill Taylor writes this month about collecting radio literature (I am going to come up on a space problem in about ten years or so, but I can't bear to throw any DX literature away); Ed Shaw opines on the Kenwood R-1000 and Panasonic RF -4900 compared head-to-head: our own Stu Klein takes the podium of "It Sounds to Me" to respond to last month's "It Sounds to Me". And now. . .
/ LIST-LOGGING /
LIST-LOGGING,
(list-log-ig), n, the activity of refusing to listen to a broadcast for an ED, but rather looking in a list under the specified frequency to determine the identity of the station. Often engaged in by DXers with overactive imaginations. A cure can be obtained only by isolating the DXer from all lists until he can be trusted to use them wisely.
Facetious, but true. As an editor for too many years, I can compare editing to walking a tightrope. When a logging has been sorted, and you come to it while typing, you have a split second to determine whether you can print it or not. If you err too much on the side of caution, you have a column filled with everyone's routine DX. If you err too much an the side of permissiveness, you end up with a column filled with figments of DXers' imaginations. List-logging is the major cause of editorial upset.
HOW TO TELL IF YOU'RE A LIST-LOGGER
You're a list-logger if the first thing you think of when you come across a new station is "What does the WRTH say about this frequency?"
You're a list-logger if you ignore the possibility of catching a good ID because the list you use has pinned down the ED.
You're a list-logger if you send in a logging as a positive, not a tentative, and say, "On that frequency, at that time, what else can it be?"
You're a list-logger if you send 100 loggings to an editor, don't mark the tentative ones 'tentative,' and then complain because only 3 were printed.
And, finally, you're a list-logger if you never you use. After all, why would they publish the Your attitude is: "If it's on the list, it must
EVER question the list if it wasn't be broadcasting."
accuracy of the list totally accurate.
List-logging is for a DXer what the heartbreak of psoriasis is to the American public. It is also very annoying to DX editors, to the membership, and to my self-image (/ hate it when I publish a logging that later turns out to be questionable.)
THE FIRST STEP TO A CURE IS TO ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
If you saw yourself in three or more of the five criteria above, you have a problem. Once you've admitted that you sometimes list-log, you can pull yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. Usually; by the time a DXer realizes that he has a listlogging problem, it is too late to save his reputation, and he has to take up CB or something of the sort. I am always ready to print loggings from anyone, and try not to damage anyone's reputation by overly questioning his logging. If I have a serious question, I either circular-file the logging, or run it without attribution and question it anonymously.
The cure continues when you listen to the broadcast for an ID before turning to the WRTH for confirmation. After you have heard an ID, you then rely on your list for addi-
tional information. When you hear a broadcast, listen for an ID, and don't hear one, you help your cure along by referring to lists sparsely, making a reasoned judgment on the ID

ad on (1) What has been heard on that frequency recently (after all, that's why you members of NASWA, isn't it?), (2) What your list says might be on that frequency, The language you heard the broadcast in, (4) The time of reception, and (5) Any
gram information you can glean from that broadcast (i.e., if you hear an ad for Inca a, you should be narrowing your search to Peru. If you hear a broadcast in Spanish,
don't look in the Brazil section of the list.)
n you mark a logging tentative every time you hear a broadcast but don't hear a positive you're cured.

I packed my handy DX-007 portable (the one with the LEDs which light up with "Time a brew, fellah!" every time you pin the S-meter), 1000 feet of wire, and the "Trusty Lo Log."

ON COLLECTING RADIO LITERATURE
One of the distinguishing traits of a serious history buff is the extent of his library. This extends, of course, to those of us who collect and restore vintage radio gear. The following article is intended to serve as a primer for those of you who are interested in either beginning or expanding your collection of vintage radio literature.
The first category of literature to be examined should be the books of general interest. Morgan McMahon has written two books that are virtually indispensable in this respect. Vintage Radio 1887-1929 is an expanded revision of Harcld Greenwood's radio album. This fine, well-illustrated book covers the early research and development of wireless communications, and follows through to the first AC models and superhecs. A Flick of the Switch is the second McMahon book of particular interest. Picking where Vintage Radio left off, "Flick" explores the adolescence and maturation of radio from 1930 through 1950. The topics dealt with in this book include a short section on World War II-military radio, a long chapter on amateur gear, and approximately 150 pages of photographs devoted to (mostly) all-wave wonders.
For those of you who are interested in the development of thermionics, Tyne's Saga of the Vacuum Tube is an invaluable reference. This tome is highly recommended for its depth of information as well as the fact that it is simply well-written and interesting.
Should you feel a yen to more thoroughly understand old battery radios, components, and circuits, try the Robertson-Cataract Radio Equipment and Supplies catalogue. This catalogue -- actually more akin to a book -- was first published in 1922. This well-done reprint covers TRF and regenerative circuits, components that were (at that time) stateof-the-art, receivers and kits then available, headphones, and much more.
All of the above-mentioned titles may be found in the Vestal Press catalogue. They offer 18 titles dealing with the collection, restoration, and history of radio. If you are interested in other areas, they publish and/or offer vast selections on player pianos, juke boxes, organs, music boxes, gambling machines, and many other hobbies. The catalogue costs $2.00, but it is well worth the price. Write to them at Box 97, 320 N. Jensen Rd., Vestal, NY 13850.
Another book, which I would most heartily recommend, would be Man of High Fidelity: Edwin Howard Armstrong, by Lawrence Lessing. Ask your local bookstore to try to locate it for you; it is a Bantam Book paperback. This enthralling story was last published in 1969 and, hence, is rather hard to find.
Armstrong's biography is rather well written. It takes the reader on a journey through his inventions of regenerative feed-back, superhets, and frequency modulation. Perhaps the most interesting point of the book revolves around the titanic battles to, first, establish the merits of FM radio, and, second, to wrest some of the rewards for this invention from the major electronics companies who denied him the due credit and royalties. This final clash would lead "the Major" to take his own life. Read the book.
Should you be unable to locate this Bantam edition locally, you may be able to receive a copy from the Antique Wireless Association. They have a limited supply on hand. Contact Bruce Kelley, W2ICE, Main Street, Holcomb, NY 14469.

Puett Electronics offers several booklets and pamphlets on vintage radio topics. Their titles deal with various aspects of collection and restoration. While their prices are rather high for the quantity of print provided, the printings are nicely done and well written. The Puett catalogue costs $1.00. Their address, Box 28572, Dallas, TX 75228.
No serious collection of library materials would be complete without a healthy acquisition of honest-to-goodness, genuine, original books and magazines.
The grand coup is to find a complete set of Rider's Manuals. These encyclopaedic volumes of service notes and schematics are, to the radio hobbyist, what a complete set of National Geographic maps would be to a cartographile.
Other collectable books would include Supreme Publications and Same service books, as well as the service notes published by the manufacturing companies themselves. These types of book are valuable aids to resotrers.
General interest books on radio are also of interest to collectors. They may describe radio from the perspective of science or hobby, but in either respect they give much historical insight. The photographs and circuit diagrams to be found in these books are of particular interest.
Magazines that dealt with either radio or electronics are also actively sought after. The new sets were reviewed and advertised in these copiously illustrated volumes. New and improved (a modest chuckle may be inserted here) components were widely heralded in these pages. DX catches were claimed (and decried at times). The announcement of new technical developments was usually made through the radio magazines. In general, the magazines represent your best, all-around value for entertainment, nostalgia, and technical information.
One of the reasons that led me to request the space to write these ramblings was an affection for history. That is, it is sometimes easier ro see where you are going if you look back to see where you have been. It tends to place things in their proper perspective. The function of this column has been to perform this service, as well as to entertain and enchant you with a bit of nostalgia. If you've enjoyed my musings, try some of the real thing.

U ME
This month's It Sounds to Me begins with a short comment on last month's article by Russ Lay. LRA Editor Stu Klein gives his views:
A Log Report Editor's View
Log report is for loggings, not editorials, and t thank Chris for making this space available to me to respond to the opinions expressed last month in SWC by Russ Lay. To say that I disagree profoundly with many of those opinions would be a gross understatement! I think that I am in a position to speak about the Log Report sections in general, and LR-A in particular.
Carefully reading the previous
article reveals one assumption made by the author: FRENDX
is not providing the NASWA membership with what it really wants. To view this assumption
in pèrspective, we should realize that NASWA currently has over 2000 members, and that a very large proportion of these members renew their subscriptions. I think that this
fact alone gives the lie to the foregoing assumption; if FRENDX were not satisfying
its subscribers, they would not renew. That they do says that they find the magazine worthwhile. No one will say that it is perfect, no one will say that it cannot be
improved, but the facts do speak for themselves. With so many people sticking with
NASWA year after year, we must be doing something right! Question is, what?
Page 4
/ IT SOUNDS TO ME / -- STU KLEIN, continued
I would like to think that what gives FRENDX its strength and appeal is its diversity.
We have something for everyone, not just the hard-core DXers as implied last month. Articles -- feature, technical, opinion -- in SWC; schedules, up-to-date corrections, station information in LN; and, yes, material for DXers in Update and the Lits. 'The poor guy who. . .wants to find RSA's latest frequencies" can do so in LN. Glenn does a bang-up job of providing such information, as up-to-date as is available. Of course, it will not run every month; such material remains valid for several months, barring changes which are promptly reported, and space limitations prevent such repetition. The guy who wants to find out how to improve the reception on his portable-with-a-whip can, through various articles. The DXer who wants accurate information on what is appear-
ing on the bands gets it, in LR. I think that it is the treatment of LR in last month's
article which most sticks in my craw!
Log Report is designed as a showcase for members' loggings. It is not designed to be another WRTH. It is to let you see what your fellow members are hearing (at least those
who bother to contribute); it is not to constantly remind you, month after month, that Reloj is on 48321 I could go on, but I think that by now you catch my drift. Reading between last month's lines, the prime complaint would seem to be that editors cut common material to include the less common. Indeed, I get the sense that the author was saying,
in effect, it is the editor's responsibility to print what is sent to him. Up to a point I agree with this, but only up to a point. What I say now goes for LR-A specifically,
but I think it applies as well to the other LR sections.
I connider LR-A to be a news medium. As such, the material within it must be accurate, as accurate as I can get it. I consider it to be my responsibility to make sure that inaccurate material does not appear. Many timas I must make a value judgment on an item, usingall of the information at my disposal. If I believe that an item is incorrect, it
will not run. If I am unsure, it probably will run, but I will insert a questioning comment to indicate that the accuracy of the item is uncertain. Lord knows, I am not perfect, and some of these judgments will be in error, one way or the other, but as the President said, "The buck stops here." In general, though, unless I have serious reser-
vations about a logging, I will use it, since I do feel an obligation to the person who took the time to write it up and send it in. The only other reason for dropping logging,
is lack of space.
Oftentimes. I will receive more material than I have room for in the column. First I
will cut out any unnecessary editorial matter, then I go through the column compressing
.
details. If there is still not enough room to accomodate all loggings, I must cut some
out, although they might be good, solid material. Which ones? Last month's article would
have me cut uncommon material in favor of the common, on the grounds that this is what
is frequently heard. That is exactly why I do cut it; people know that the station is there, they know its format and transmission times. They may not be at all familiar with a more unusual station, heard during an uncommon opening. By publishing the logging, even
if they do not hear it, at least they will know it is there and can be heard! That is exactly why I do cut it -- people know that the station is there, they know its format
and transmission times. They may not be at all familiar with a more unusual station, heard during an uncommon opening. By publishing the logging, even if they do not hear
it, at least they will know that it is there and can be heard! That is exactly the kind
of news that LR is designed for, and that is exactly what was ignored in the column.
Repetition of the same facts, month after month, is boring!
It was stated that "...we are now moving to make the hobby a 'science" by dictating what and how to report. Poppycock! The hobby was, is, and will continue to be more art than science, with all of the imperfections that that implies. As an editor, I do not presume to dictate to people what to send. I am grateful for the contributions that I do receive, since there are far fewer contributors than members. The details that they provide are the details that I print, unless compression for space purposes is necessary. But, the more detail that is provided, the more interesting the logging is to read. You are sending the material to showcase it, and it reads better when it isn't just abbreviated 'mx, TC/ID' or some such. Believe it or not, people are interested in what you heard. That is the reason that editors ask for details; it is certainly not so that we can enjoy having more to type. More details are also of use when a value judgment, as I described
above, must be made.
Another criticism leveled at LR was that mistakes are corrected, sometimes in print, as though this were some terrible way of humiliating contributors. As it happens. I prefer not to do this in print; some editors do. It is most assuredly not to shake a finger and say "shame on you!" as was assumed. As human beings we learn from our mistakes, but to do so, we first have to know that a mistake has been made. When I drop someone a line to point out an error, it is to help that person develop within the hobby.. .1 would have little reason to bother otherwise. I consider helping members to enjoy the hobby and
Page 6
IT SOUNDS TO ME f STU KLEIN, continued
develop within it, if that is their desire, to be part and parcel of my editorial responsibilities. The correspondences which sometimes develop are one of the aspects of being an editor that I truly enjoy. I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, but I believe that I've just put my finger on NASWA's greatest strength, and the reason that it continues to grow and to hold on to new members. . . people in NASWA caret You need
help in the hobby? It's there for the asking. The attitude shown in last month's article was that LR editors dictate; we do not, we serve! That is a major and fundamental
difference, an,. one which I wished to point out.
To summarize then, and I emphasize again that this is my personal opinion, I see a PRENDE which continues to be strong in its diversity, which continuas to be a bastion of accurate and interesting news in a sea of drivel, which continues in the tradition which it has thus far established, to be far more valuable to the hobby as a whole than what vas advocated lest month. I see that as advocating a FRENDX with the same international schedules, the sema pages of identical loggings of identical stations on identical frequencies, the same lack of desire to help members expand their hobby horizons, month after identical month. In short, I find it to be an advocacy of mediocrity, and I find that, both professionally and personally, to be repugnant.

O.K., Stu, thanks for your commenta, which are · valuable perspective on this tortuous subject. I think that, now that both sidas of this have been aired, I personally want to go back to the original subject of publicity. Many commente have been received on
this topic, and here are a few:
ANDY REID, ON -- "What is needed is a reawakening (of awareness of shortwave) of the
general public. This should start with the manufacturera of radio equipment that is
readily accessible to potentiel hobbyists. In the Canadien Radio Shack catalogue, 2 pages are allocated to shortwave receivers. All the radio descriptions are completely
technical
not very eye opening to the beginner. Nothing is said about what is
available to the nier listener, and a diagram beside the DX-100 is a picture of a ham, to
boot!!"
few turned out to be one -- however, next month we will have a lengthy but very interest-
ing analysis of the publicity problem of shortwave radio from the PR man's point of view, by member Randy Erickson, a management consultant in gennsylvania.

KENWOOD R-1000 RECEIVER
VS
PANASONIC MODEL RF -4900
$460.00 $440.00
What a task!! Here I am asked to make a comparison observation between two of hobbydom's most popular receivers. How does one accomplish this and keep peace in the family? Well, here goes nothing. Actually, I may have a biased opinion since I have owned one of the receivers, but if bias has been injected herein it was entirely unintentional.. .1 even had several persons to review this work before releasing it in order to avoid weighted opinions.
First of all, we will list the standard specifications of each and show the illustrations. Readers may note immediately that the R-1000 is a pint-sized piece of equipment compared to the Panasonic. Don't let that influence you.
KENWOOD R-1000
PANASONIC RF -4900
200 KHz - 30 MHz (LW/MW/SW) Note the R-1000 provides LW reception, but no FM service 30cm X 11.5cm X 21.8cm 20 watts on AC 2 uV approximately
12 KHz at 6dB, 25 KHz at 50dB 6 KHz at 6dB, 18 KHz at 50dB
The R-1000 is easily wired to incorporate the 2.7 KHz SSB I.F. A definite advantage.
FREQ RANGE
525 KHz - 31 MHz MW/SW 88 - 108 MHz FM Note the RF -4900 has no LW
DIMENSIONS
48.2cm X 20cm X 35.4cm
POWER CONSUMPTION 10 watts on AC
SENSITIVITY (SWBC) 1.2 uV approximately in AM mode
SELECTIVITY (Wide & Narrow)
Neither of the receivers gave standard 60dB measurements
12 KHz at 6dB, 25 KHz/50dB 4.5KHz at 6dB, 10KHz/40dB
The RF -4900 has no SSS I.F. crystal, but relies on a BFO circuit.
Internal digital clock Timer control A real noise blanker
Features
Antenna Trimmer Separate RF gain control Battery portability
OBSERVATIONS: Having owned the RF -4900 and the earlier RF -4800, I was more accutely aware of some of the drawbacks and limitations of the Panasonics. On the other hand, I had opportunity to tune and use the R-1000 only over the. space of one weekend, but I believe I learned enough to do the receiver proper justice.
As regards selectivity. Despite the specifications which indicate the Panasonic had a slightly "tighter" I.F., I could discern no appreciable difference by ear or 'feel' while tuning over equal strength signals.
Page 8
One of the methods I use to make some judgement about I.F. selectivity is to observe S-meter deflection. Here's how I did it. First, one must have use of a crystal calibrator to generate a 100 KHz marker.
Disconnect the antenna lead-in wire, using only the crystal calibrator to generate a 100 KHz marker. Dial in a frequency multiple and center it well by obtaining the highest meter reading. Try to stay in the lower range of
frequencies to avoid reception of strong higher-frequency stations on even a short antenna wire like that of the crystal calibrator. Note where the S-meter needle points. .take notes. Next, tune down in frequency slowly until the S-meter drops 6 dB. Observe how many KHz you have tuned down. Do the same thing now, tuning upwards in frequency. Then tune down, then up
for a 60 dB meter deflection. With use of graph paper, you can make a crude, but serviceable guesstimate of how to rate your i.f. filter.
I rather preferred the versatile arraignment of separate trols of the Panasonic. The RF attenuation steps of the much too steep to suit me. There is a way to alter these
dB steps.
AF and RF gain Kenwood seemed
20 dB steps to
con10
The selectivity of the Kenwood can be greatly improved by rewiring the SSB 2.7 KHz filter for use in AM mode.
The AGO response time for the Kenwood seems a little slow, but this also is easily defeated - or restored back to original whenever desired.
I am told by other R-1000 owners that the audio output is not all that great because the chip used wasn't the best choice. Q-28 audio chip MIGHT be replaced by an ECG 1284...no guarantees. The ECG is a slightly more efficient
chip for the same power drawn.
The R-1000 is AC only as purchased. Any ccmpetent technician can wire in a
means to use 12VDC. Why they didn't put it in to begin with snows ma, unless it was because of the fact that the display unit draws one helluvalotta mA.
The Panasonic RF -4900 certainly is more impressive looking. audio output are excellent.
The speaker and
The RF -4900 dual-speed main tuning knob is cute. It also has a small finger control nearby to calibrate the dial. I appreciate also the separate bass and treble controls.
The RF -4900 I.F. selectivity can be modified with one of several replacement filters. It requires a competent technician to do this, so don't tackle it yourself.
BFO pitch simply is not stable. I could never get the RF -4800 or the 4900 to stay on pitch or zeroed for more than a few seconds.., it begins to climb in frequency nearly immediately.
There are more birdies and internal images generated in the Panasonic than the Kenwood. There are several in the 15-19 MHz band. Most annoying.
The AM sensitivity on the RF -4900, and I used a box loop antenna here, for medium wave is excellent.
Internal battery employment also was useful for field trips. One can turn off the readout display to conserve power.
******************************************** ********* ***********************
JUDGEMENT DAY: For DX-ability alone, I have to lean to the Kellwood, especially since the modifications for I.F., AGC, and portability are simply done. The Panasonic, in my opinion, had too many false images and spurs, and could not sit still on SSB. The Kenwood was smaller, therefore easily portable. What's more, I have some interest in LW - moreso than FM for which I have another bore sophisticated receiver.
One last observation. The Kenwood company offers a really heavy metal knob
to replace the plastic main tuning knob...not the calibration ring, just the main knob. It provides a firm, professional heft.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO OWNERS.. .0E ALLIED SX-190: Many of you already have the technical manual for this remarkable receiver, but others who do not may wish to have a special comprehensive collection of SX-190 review notes and modification instructions. Eighteen pages with over twenty articles about the SX-190. Even if you do not have the technical manual (or even if you
do) this collection should be of interest to you.
This Super-X 190 opus costs a fair amount to xerox, on long paper no less! I have to ask three dollars ($3.00) just for costs and postage. Ed Shaw

To AMP
It's easy to MAKE photo-transistors! Every silicon transistor is sensitive to light if the junction was exposed.
Note the inter eiO:ndieeseeel 7c:7e.d in a clear resin. The junction is sensitive to light.
Acquire an inexpensive TO-111 type such as the common 2N2222.
Twist the Emitter and Base leads together for highest sensitivity.
Using a SHARP pair of sidecutters, a ceramic circle saw, or sharp knife, cut tip off as illustrated.

Suggested experiment: Use the photo-
transistor as an input to any power amplifier. Point it at the sun and run a comb or piece of window screen over the exposed junction. What did
you hear? Another experiment: Turn
on a pocket penlite and shine it into the junction, then tap the bulb. What did you hear then? In both cases you have experienced modulated light turned into sound. The screen blank-
ing action in the first case, and a vibrating filament in the second.

UNDERSTANDING SOME ASPECTS OF YOUR DX RECEIVER: What is AGC?
Some of you will already understand that AGC stands for Automatic Gain trol. But, not many understand what it is for, or how it works. To be
DXer, one first has to understand his receiver. This brief explanation may be the first step you need.
Cona good
of AGC
Signals arrive on your receiver antenna in varying stengths, and pass thru the different stages of amplification and processing. Somewhere along the way, usually in the last I.F. transformer, a little bit of signal is bled off by a diode and capacitor and then smoothed out to nearly a pure DC volt-
age. This voltage is fed back to the RF amplifier at the beginning of your receiver's circuit where it controls how much signal is let into the circuit. If a very strong signal blasts in, the bled-off AGC voltage tells the RF transistors to shut down a bit. If weak signals eake in, the AGC voltage permits the RF section to do its maximum. It's a feedback circuit of sorts.
In the AGC circuit is a resistor and large capacitor which, together, deter-
mine just how fast the AGC works. For instance,
you are DXing on a noisy
day 'with lots of lighning crackle, and slow AGC response time may be useful;
that is, a loud blast would be absorbed by the resistor/capacitor network, and the receiver would go silent for...say, 1 second, then would recover and continue to receive normally after the blast was over. A short response time
on less noisy days might not need any more delay than say 200 milliseconds
or perhaps none at all.
Thus, you can see that more advanced receivers will
have provision for choosing response times...sometimes up to three choices;
Some modern-day receivers have fixed AGC response times often not to the discriminating owner's satisfaction. It can be remedied by changing the big response capacitor to something larger or smaller in value to suit tastes.

MAURITIUS NBC has proposed a project to be undertaken in the framework of World Communica-
P [ions Year in 1983, to upgrade its SW svc for better coverage of a group of islands form-
ing part of the State of Mauritius. Present SW xmtr in use 25+ yrs and spare parts are no longer available. Several islands not reached due to poor sig strength. So isle resi-
dents and ships sailing in territorial waters of Mauritius are often experiencing severe
hardships due to lack of info on wx forecasts and hurricane early warnings. Project pro-
vides for acquisition of new eqp, namely 2 HF xmtrs and 2 horiz log periodic ants, repre-
senting a 10x increase in xmsn power. Will also ensure over 1000 quadrant coverage and
allow for rapid change in fq or beam direxion to cope w/abrupt variations in prop condx
or sharp increases in QRM level (WCY bulletin 7/82 via Sellers, DXO; Bob l'adula, ADXN; Andy Sennitt, RNMN) What are these other islands they're so concerned about? Nearby Ro-

M Sept LN on the 18 MHz mysteries; after hearing them on World of Radio, David Newkirk says:
"Negative CW" can be decoded, somewhat by marking the dits, dahs and pauses on one line
and filling in the blanks on the next line; one portion might read "CQ DE XB..." such as
XI1D492 listed in CFL5 as in Mex Cy but A3J and not on 19955. I'm taken aback by the fact that the MW stns hrd are not superpowered on fundamentals; that would explain a lot.
Could be a fixed stn (or a stn that needs to be fixed) in the neighborhood with a ground
loop in a synthesizer, resonant in the low 1500 kHzes; or maybe a long leaky piece of coax
resonates around there and the sigs mix in the final of lie ute xmtr; the possibilities are endless. They appear in reverse order below 19955 kHz because in effect they're be-
ing translated in fq; did you tune on the high side of 19955 for matching array? (David
Newkirk, WA, 29/8) No; have frequently checked 18395 etc afternoons since but not a
trace; but t was not the first to hear this and might reappear (gh) I think it's inter-
modulation, as happens with local MW stns, or ham xmtrs like mine mixing w/local MW stn
to put me on a third fq. Might be metal-to-metal touching of pipes, wires, etc., with
this 'circuit' resonating at some other fq. Or something fishy is going on near Mexico City (Steve Bonadio, KA2JBA, Watertown NY, 29/8)

SRI director has stated in an interview that they are thinking of obtaining transmission time on foreign
stations, either in exchange or by rental. Negotiations have taken place with Radio Canada International, which could put its transmitter sites at the disposition of the Swiss
as from 1983. RCI is just as interested in better distribution of its programe in Europe as SRI is in better reception in NAm; and Canada has reiterated in the last few years its desire to cooperate with European external broadcasters (ORE Spanish DX via LADX) SRI S82

WCVU FCC pulled plug on John Hart's unlicensed 15-watter in Virginia Beach VA during its
first anniversary celebration 13/8 Friday. Agents feared WCVU would UM aircraft xmsns at
Norfolk Intl Airport; it already blocked siga from NC & MD stns. 25-year-old Hart, an auto
mechanic, operated the stn from a trailer park. It was on the air 3 nights a week, sponsored
.phone..in contests, taH .volunteer ancrs and aired net nxcasts picked up from a legit stn. "It
was good for the park," said Mike Freeze, asst'mgr of the Colonial Run Mobile Home Park. "If
people lost a dog or cat, they knew they could call and everyone in the park would get the
word." Hart, who started the stn as a hobby, received a written warning from Jerry Freeman,
Regional Engr-in-Charge of the FCC's Norfolk office. He could face $10,000 in fines and a
year in jail if convicted of illegally operating a radio stn. But Hart says he's trying to
find ways to get his 9[11 back on the air legally. Freeman said the FCC learned of the stn 3
months ago and used spi eqp to locate WCVU's signal (UPI 15/8 via Ken MacHarg, IN) FMI guess

Vational Anthems of the Wor14, ads Martin Shaw, Henry Coleman, T. M. Cartledge, published by Arco Publishing Co., Inc., 219 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10003. Many libraries have it. It
has all of the anthems--about 200! Even "Ilkosi Sikelel'i Africa" (The Bantu anthem). On the tropical bands especially, an anthem or IS is often a more certain ID than a crackly, undermodulated OM or YL aumbling in an unID lang. Of course, it helps if you read mx and play an instrument, but even if you don't, you can still show off and give the proper name of the anthem (Richard McVicar, July DR Ontario)

Ladies and gentlemen, contributions to UD, never large at any time, have fallen to an appallingly low level. Further evidence of this can be seen below. This situation prompts me to speak to you all most candidly on a topic of significance to us all.
UD and NASWA generally is not a monitoring service in which · small group of individuals do work on SW in some fashion' for profit or advantage.You would not know that, however, to look at UD. There at this point something over 2000 members of NASWA. Of this number something like 5 are regular contributors to UD. THAT'S ONE QUARTER OF ONE PERCENT, a shamefully low number. What it means is this: if one or two of the regular contributors to UD don't send in material, there IS NO UD. It is that simple. If you don't share your material, you don't get anything.
I do get excuses and I'd like to talk about them: 1. "My material isn't good enough." Bushwal Material for UD is not judged by me on whether it is "good enough." I edit according to the following rules: (1)Is it a late breaking item? (2) Is it SW? (3)If two items are competing for the same space (i.e. 1 can only print one) which will be of greater interest in the hobby? THOSE ARE ALL THE EDITORIAL CRITERIA I USE. An item on VoA is as likely to be in UD as one on Bhutan, but only if I get it in the first place. You send material; I'll edit. That's what they don't pay me the big money to do. 2. "I don't have time." This one is facially compelling. Everyone, yr. ed. included goes through phases when SW time must be used for other purposes. But I think this excuse is really rather empty. Since you're reading this, it follows that you're interested enough in the hobby to want to spend some time with it. Surely if you can find the time to turn on che radio and listen, you can find time to send material to some MASWA column. You've invested in this club and if you don't help to keep it up and going you get no return. You've wasted money. 3. "When are deadlines?" 'JD leadlines are set up around the one tyrranical aspect of this club: the date at the end of the month when material must be in Levittown to go to the printer. THIS DATE IS ALWAYS THE LAST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH. I try to construct UD deadlines so that there will be about two weeks or so between deadlines. Because these dates vary, I put at the top of every UD, mid-month and Frendx, the next three deadlines. This makes it easy (I hope) for you to keep your calendars up to date. AITInTrive days for the Postal stor-- age people to get your letter to me, and you've got it. So let me reiterate: For NASWA and UD to succeed, you and only you must invest in it. This does not mean the money you pay for the bulletin; it means the time you take to help us fill it up. You pay for 60 pages of bulletin each month and those pages can be as empty or full as you want them to be. It is, simply enough, your choice. Every editor needs and deserves your support. Isn't it fascinating to note that the editors, those who presumably have enough to do running their own shops, often are the most prolific contributors to other NASWA sections. NASWA is and will be what all 2000+ of you make it. What do you want it to be? ***

Well, it looks like the doldrums finally arrived! Things have slowed up a bit, probably due to vacations, but there is still quite a lot of activity on the bands, especially in the 90 - 60 meter range. Our thanks to John Herkimer for the new look of the column; to tell the truth, we were getting a little sick of looking at those black lines!

And so we come to the close of another issue. Our thanks as always to our contributors,
who are the ones that make the column possible. On Latin stations, where we leave out the
language, please read that to mean Spanish. Ditto for Brasil and Portuguese. Where a
language is given once in a station logging, it is the same for all other loggings of that
particular station, unless otherwise noted. This saves some on the typing. next month, so keep the logginga coming in! Till then,

EDITOR: MIKE AGNER 301 N. PROGRESS AVE APT G10 HARRISBURG PA 17110
Howdy! Before I get on with this edition, I recently got a letter from Harold Sellers of the DX Equipment Information Coric:ittee in response to my query regarding Mosley. They are indeed back in business, though not supplying their once-popular SWV7/n17 antennas at this time. Their new gTH is 4610 N. Lindbergh Blvd.,Bridgeton Mo. 63044 and the phone
number is (314)7313036. The president's name is Bill Haack. My thanks
to Harold for this item.
Now to Wayne Thomspon's list. Since most of his stuff is homebrew,
unless there is a manufacturer's name there, assume all homebrew n.o.s.:
Wayne Thompson, Decatur Ga.
115 foot grounded horizontal
square loop (what does this
look like, Wayne? mja)
29 foot random wire
25 foot random wire
single cap antenna tuner w/RF amp
double cap antenna tuner(switch.
pi or 1 network)
mini antenna tuner (only 4"w
13."h and U"1- this I gotta see)
low pass RF filter (30Mhz cutoff)
passive audio filter (passband is
300 hz to 3 khz)
active audio filter (ICs)-passband
500 hz to 2 Khz
5 transistor active audio filter.
".this is the guy I showed you
in that photo a while back. He
says that it has a low/high pass
at 1 khz peak. Impressive! raja***
various power supplies
8" speaker in an outooard enclosure
Realistic headphones(what, not
homebrew??hi mja)
Micronta digital clock
Akai x1800SD recorder
Roberts 770x recorder (both are
reel to reel recorders. mja)
Wayne, that is a dandy list. How abt sharing with us some schematics
for those audio filters, and also tell us abt that loop? I'm sure there
are some out there just a little curious. I know I am.
ODDS AND ENDS DEPT.-- I hesitate to bring up a rather annoying item, but
it is a valid item....Don Sutlers(sp?) cf Oak Forest Ill wrote me after
the article came out on the Slinky dipole and says that he built a version
of it out of an article from 2k magazine December 1980.(Cringingly) I
thank you for that item in and also the kind words....Do you remember
the Snake antenna for 60 m that I wrote abt a while back? I am working on
building a tri -band version- one that will cover 120, 90, and 60mb. More on that when I have more definitive test results. Watch out when string-
ing guy wires for verticals.. ..metal guys tend to detune resonant verticals
might be better to use clothesline with a nonmetallic core- Hey My Data
Bank is really DRY!! I could stand to hear from all 2200 of you, OK? Before I forget, I understand the Sony corp. is bringing out their own
version of an active antenna, as is Yaesu- one to match UD with their
popular FRG7700. The Sony antenna is supposed to be in the States this
fall, accroding to the Sony rep at ANARCon 1982. Anyone hear anything
more? This is the place to say something!
