Re: [HCDX] BBC

Richard, I'll miss Central and South America, too!

I'm here in Southern NM, about 50 miles NW of El Paso.   I've been pulling in the BBC from Asia for years, in the morning and evenings.  I don't know what the new schedule is, but in the AM it's 9740 and 6195  (I've actually be able to get it in from 0700  thru about 1700; at 0300 past 0400 I get it on 7160, but I don't know where it's from.   About 1900 I can sometimes get it via Africa on 17810.  Morning 's 9740 is often so clear and strong before the grayline kicks in that I don't need to hook up my longwire to the Grundig PE 400.  (I get R. Netherlands' eastern broadcast well, too.)

Hope this helps...fingers crossed that I'll still be getting it now with the changes, if any...

Gloria

Hello Dxers,
                   I see that Alokesh Gupta has posted the BBC A08 broadcast 
schedule and I know that they have stopped broadcasts to North America , they 
have also stopped broadcasts to Central and South America. I could pick them up 
here in Pittsburgh Pa. in the United States when they were still broadcasting to Central America but now 
they have stopped that. Does anyone know any tricks to pick them up via 
shortwave? I know that I can listen via their streaming audio but I consider 
that cheating since I've been an avid shortwave listner since 1965 and I feel 
jilted.
