This is where all my logs and audio files have ended up.The short-wave hobby was beset by a few obstacles here at the old homestead for awhile,but now the dx'ing situation has been vastly improved.
The audio files at the bottom of the page are a new twist for me :) I originally was using the other computer's Windows 98 Sound-Recorder program and then converting that huge 5 megabyte audio file into MP3
but then I found out it only can do about 60 seconds of audio and sometimes that just doesn't do it for me.Especially if I have to wait for a interval signal or ID,it kind of cramps my style but it does work to some extent.
Now for the logs :)
Please note for clarification purposes the logs are in a format as follows:
Frequency,time heard(in GMT\UTC),date,station name,country of origin,signal report with radio\antenna used and finally a brief description of what was heard.
The logs below on the second spinning diskette are from when I was running WIn95/98 on the other pc.These logs date back to 1999 so may be some interesting things in there to be seen .
So here is my attempt at a logging update as it is . I found out the gnumeric program can save databases in html format so that just made it a lot easier for everyone on the internet.
Also of interest is a catch of Radio Rebelde's AM outlet in Cuba on 1180.That was heard on the RX 320 using the 23 ft vertical fed straight through to the radio.This is my first offshore MW catch ever .So I was pretty thrilled by it.
Here are my pre 2003 logs.
Like this site? Want to come back next week to see what has been tuned in on my old radios?
Then please
This is what may be IDF Radio recorded from the Drake R-4A on 6442 khz USB.Tentative id on this one because I don't understand Hebrew but other SWL'ers say it is IDF Radio.
This is what appears to be PNG East Sipek Radio on 3335 khz .A bit scratchy because like an idiot I was fooling with the notch filter and passband tuning trying to get a better recording off the R-4A.
This is the Voice of Cambodia recorded off the Drake R-4A on 11940 khz with their French language broadcast.First 40 seconds it is fairly audible then drops out some after that:)
Radio Ghana recorded off the Drake R-4A on 4915 khz. The other station in with it is I believe Radio Anhanguera from Brasil.Ghana is playing the music.
Don't know who the actual artist who did this is but it was sent to me by a friend.
Like what you found in here? Got any ideas you think I might want to know about? Or just don't even like it and want to say something to me about improving it? Then click below to let me know .
