I think the brand name is Videyas. It is sold on Amazon. But I think it has a different exterior style. Hopefully, it still comes with the sensitive tuning chip to pick up weak signals.
WOW! On your "How to use a payphone" video. I thought that was a phone you found in the wild. Thanks to that video I learned about the deposit coins before dialing. Wish I had more footage of making successful call on this payphone.
@@theshortwavearchive35 I am amazed you found and watched my video! There are a few payphones I have collected and repaired around my home. It is incredible you found a working one out in public!
It's usually pretty easy, there are two stations I can get every night (both from Brazil). Radio Voz Missionária on 9665 with 10 kW and Radio Nacional da Amazônia on 11780 with 100 kW. Other stations depend on good propagation since there in the 60 meter band and low power (1kW or less)
You received voice of america on sw in usa? Do you live in usa? I received voice of america in english on sw in belarus,too. I also received radio marti in spanish on sw in belarus from usa.
I think you'll really enjoy looking back at these in a few decades and reliving the memories of tuning the shortwave bands, it definitely sparks memories in my mind of radio adventures when I was younger. Cool radio, too!
The first two look like microwave towers, and the last one looks like it has FM antennas, so I gather the two FM stations and the weather radio are located. My guess, anyway.
What you can see here, is a web software defined radio. It allows multiple users, to tune it differently at the same time. What she wanted to show in the video, is the poor transmission quality of the national chinese radio. It sounds all glitchy and chopped. Then she showed that the problem doesn't origin at the sdr's decoder plugin. This means that if you were in china, listening to your radio, you would here this crazy choppy, fast transmission.
I'll occasionally use globaltuners which has a smaller selection of SDR stuff but more of the radio spectrum (FM, air, etc) One of the radio owners knew people were listening to sports (US) and suggested we go to the radio stations websites to listen because only one person can tune the radio at a time (vs WebSDR where several people can tune/listen to what they want to at the same time). Problem was the radio station's websites would black the games out because the sports leagues make you pay to listen online.
Ahem.... It's now God Save the King! ;) I'm one of them people who actually use 198kHz LW. Sometimes when driving long distance around the UK, the FM or DAB version of Radio 4 drops out, but the LW version of it is still there! Also gets a listen when I travel to Ireland for work and hire a car. Can't be doing with RTE, so I'll tune to 198LW. I'll miss it once they turn it off next year!
Yes I do agree the longwave signal is always the best choice. It will be a sad day for all radio listeners just the BBC trying to cut costs when I'm sure there FM and DAB network is costing them double or triple.
This is Transmitting from my City, Wellington. I live 10 minuites away from RNZ head office. The news report is about out new Prime Minister Chris Luxon cancelling his trip to the Pacific Forum due to the final results of the recent election being confirmed. I think the news reader's name is Catriona MacLoud. NZ holds quite big political importance and power in the south pacific, particularly with some smaller island states. China is trying to buy into various pacific island governments with the Belt and Road initiative ,so NZ having things like shortwave radio, that even the most remote islands can recieve, is very important.
Keep trying. If your in North America I recommend the morning right before sunrise. Till around 2 hours after sunrise on 7390 or 13755 if your sunrise is before 13 UTC.
Where are you from? Where do you listen to radio? Do you listen to sw,am,mw? I also listen to foreign sw,am,mw stations from all over the world,here in belarus. I am 39. I am radio amateour from belarus,igor belevich. I love sw,mw,am radio. In my country there are less lightning,i think,and it causes less interferences and less noise on sw,am,mw,here in belarus,at least now... But where did you buy such wonderful sw,am,mw radio receiver with such beautiful,and clear and exact scale? I have a lot of sw,mw,am,lw receivers,for example,pocket sized sw,mw receiver tecsun r 9012. By the way ,it has a little bit similar scale like at your receiver.but your receiver is big,huge,large,and mine is small and little in size and dimensions... But i like your receiver more than my receiver. I advise you to listen to sw and to write me what you could receive in your country on sw and from what countries... Did you receive china radio int.,radio rumania inter.,voice of turkey,wrmi,overcomer with brother stair in english from usa,radio france int,radio exterior de espana,bbc from london,uk,s. And n.korea,japan,australia,n.zealand? Approximately on what time and on what frequencies according to the scale of your receiver,near what frequencies?
I am Located in Berthoud, Colorado, USA. We have been getting a lot of thunderstorms recently which is what is causing all the extreme lighting. I do listen to AM and SW. I love dxing far away am stations but harder to pick up station from the east coast of the US since the FCC only allows clear channel AM to run a maximum of 50,000 Watts. I can usually pick up all the shortwave stations you mentioned most of the shortwave stations from Asia can be picked up here during our mornings at about 4 to 8 AM. Stations from Europe can be picked up in our afternoons at about 3 usually weak unlike the east coast but become better as the sun fades away. New Zealand is a weird one that does not follow the pattern of other shortwave stations in Asia and the pacific even when the sun is out at 7 in the morning here 7440 MHz is a strong one. And at night is the same thing with 15720 MHz.
