Paul, I do record from time to time, but this time I didn't. I basically
was sitting on 1430 for about three hours while working on other things
(what some of us refer to as "work"!). As for recordings, I've got a
lifetime of Perseus files from Newfoundland still to review. I'll probably
do the same distracted listening tonight. Jim Renfrew

Seems to be oldies, occasionally rising above WNSW 1430 in New Jersey. ID
is "101.3 and 105.9".
I can't find anything that shows these FM translators matched with 1430.
Any ideas? Doesn't match any oldies webstreams that I can find.

Thanks, JIm Renfrew, Clarendon NY

The Radiwow R-108 is a new, very compact Chinese-made AM-FM-LW-SW-AIR Ultralight radio which has recently become available to North American purchasers on eBay (such as this listing at $ 49.98, including free shipping https://www.ebay.com/itm/RADIWOW-R-108-Radio-Digital-AM-FM-Portable-Stereo-LW-SW-AIR-DSP-World-Receiver/173793532305?hash=item2876e6d991:g:esMAAOSw1YRcZTng:rk:1:pf:0

I have placed an order for a couple of them, and plan to test it out against its obvious completion, the Tecsun PL-380. The capabilities of the two pocket radios seem very similar, although the R-108 has an AIR band, which the PL-380 lacks.

In the meantime one of our Japanese DXer friends (Fumiaki Minematsu, an NHK engineer who was one of the group who welcomed Nick to Japan) has already made such a detailed comparison of the R-108 and PL-380, posting it in his blog with multiple photos at https://eureka-fumi.blogspot.com/2019/02/comparison-of-radiwow-r-108-and-tecsun.html?fbclid=IwAR0DWj-RWGtgaUBfRYjH6AMEXmfIGLB7vZODyah0_NJ2gJ_nlvhLXAxTDhw

With basic English translation included, it should provide interesting information to those who might consider a purchase.
