Eastern signals

Post by acl777 »

I'm looking to receive signals from the far east and was wandering what others have received on MW and HF. I'm after anything from eastern Russia and Japan. I thought this might be an interesting change from chasing TA signals and perhaps slightly better time wise as in not having to wait until the early hours.

if your hearing TA signals youre good to go i think, just change the times your in front of the radio, ive found the far east is good at the moment from mid morning to late afternoon on the higher bands,...... have a look here for LW/MF http://www.shortwaveschedule.com/index. ... tion=18994 and here for HF http://www.short-wave.info/

I thought the Far East was Lowestoft.

The problem with short-wave listening nowadays is that you have no idea where the signals are being transmitted from.

So you think that you have a mega-setup, because you can hear Taiwanese Radio. But the signal is actually coming from a transmitter near Nuremburg.
