A HAM

SPEAKS

FOR

SWL'ING

SOME

WEEKS ago

our

mail

contained

an interesting

letter

from

Bill

Orr,

W6SAI, Menlo

Park,

Calif.

Bill needs

little

introduction

to

many

of our readers.

He is

a prolific

author

of books

and

magazine

ar-

ticles,

a world

traveller,

and

a critic

of

the

"appliance

operating" radio

amateur.

Bill

sent along a photo

of one of

his oldest

QSL

cards-

W9XAA,

The Short

Wave

Voice

of Labor

and Farmer, Chicago,

Ill.

Dated

December

8,

1931,

the QSL lists

operating

frequencies

of

6080, 11,840,

and

17,780

kHz

with a power

of

500 watts.

That

was

high

power

in

those days!

Mr.

Orr asks

if

our

current

monitors

have

any earlier

interna-

tional broadcasting

QSL's?

In his letter,

Bill goes

on

to

say, "It's

too

bad that more

hams

don't

indulge

in short-

wave

listening.

A lot goes

on

outside

the

ends

of the ham

dial

and

many fellows

who

have

ham

-band

-only

receivers

never

get

to

hear it."

As examples,

Bill

suggests

these

items:

The

U.S.

Navy

single

sideband

net

be-

tween

McMurdo

Sound,

South

Pole,

and

Palmer

Base

on

7995

and

11,256

kHz.

They

can

be

heard

around

0400

with

traffic

be-

tween

the bases

and

New

Zealand.

RID,

a new

Soviet

time

station,

has

shown

up

with

time

ticks

on

15,004

kHz,

just

a shade

higher

than

WWV.

Callsign

is

given

in

Morse

code

at 15-

minute

intervals.

Your

Editor

has

heard

this

one.

Bill

confirms

that

several

3rd

harmonic

signals

of

Radio

Moscow

"regionals"

are

being

heard

between

2300

and

0100

in

the

frequency

range

of

28,000

to

28,700

kHz.

Some

are

quite

strong

and

all

are

in

the

Russian

language

with

music.

Listen

to

the Japanese

citizens

band

around

27,500

to

28,000

kHz

near

2300.

"It

sounds

just like

ours,

only

more

unintelligi-

ble!"

Radioteletype.

If

any

of

our

monitors

has equipment

to

receive

RTTY

signals,

he

might try for

some

of these

goodies:

BZB85,

Peking,

China,

on

16,138

and

15,865

kHz,

every fourth

hour

starting

at

0100;

ZEN77,

Hong

Kong,

16,275

kHz,

at

0600

and

1800;
