RE: [IRCA] LW Help

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bert,
There's a webpage maintained for these Transcribed Weather Broadcasts (TWEB)
on LF, by Bill Hepburn.
http://home.cogeco.ca/~dxinfo/twb.htm
There's one on 340 from Georgia, which I would think you'd easily hear;
nothing particularly close to you on the freqs you mentioned, unless the 329
one from LA is still on; but you can checkout the list and see for yourself.
Your wire antenna would be a poor performer at LF, unless you used a
matching transformer, or ran it into the high impedance wire input on your
R8B (which has the matching transformer built in from that input); then it
would work a lot better at LF.

There's also a Sangean 909/DX398 modifications page at
http://members.verizon.net/~vze20h45/radio/sangean/909mods.html
I've also heard the C.Crane company will also do these mods for you; as
they're the ones who've worked closely with Sangean engineers on their own
C.Crane radio.
Steve

I'm hearing a man's voice on 332 or 333. It's an Automated Altimeter message
from "'SOMETHING' Municipal Airport" where the temp is -2 degrees Celsius.
The signal is very faint. Any help would be appreciated. I know I should be
listening to MW, but I was feeling a bit naughty...
