More and more SWLers are dis­covering the particular charm of Medium Wave DXing (MW DX); per­haps it isn't easy to pick up far distant stations from other continents on medium wave—despite the new Geneva Wave Plan. DXing the short­wave is far more comfortable and thus no challenge ... at least that is what the m w. enthusiasts say On the other hand simple gear will do for the beginning of MW DX. such as smaller transistor radios and about ten metres of outdoor aerial, a simple L or T. Great successes can be ob­tained with more sophisticated gear, allwave receivers, special antennas, matching and tuning circuits, meas­uring devices and so on. What are MW propagation conditions like these days, around the 1979 sol­stice? There is a large number ol factors to be included into our small analysis. 1stly It is winter in the North­ern and summer in the Southern hemisphere of Earth. Best MW DX conditions prevail generally during winter. 2ndly We have perhaps just passed the peak of the 21st solar activity cycle. Solar activity is in fact still very high. However, the lower the sun s activity, the better MW DX conditions. 3rdly MW propagational characte­ristics alter with rising frequency

from the lower to the upper end of the band. The upper margin shows, for instance, quasi shortwave propaga­tional characteristics. Taking these three points into ac­count and considering regular day­time variations, we can give the fol­lowing recommendations: Always hunt for MW DX at night— between sun set and sun rise Your OX circuits must lie under the cover of night. The inospheric layer which is detrimental to MW DXing, the low­est, absorbing D-layer, which devours MW signals, dissolves immediately after sun sat but builds up at sun rise. If you start DXing the medium wave at about sun set. always begin at the upper end of the band progressing slowly downward Listen into the following directions: North, North-Fast, East, South-East to South, in the middle of the night you can listen into any direction all around the wind-rose, but towards sun rise DX will be open from the following direc­tions: North, North-West, West. South-West, and South, (For DXers in the Southern hemis­phere North is always turned into South and vice versa.) As indicated above the current high solar activity exerts a negative in­fluence on MW DXing. MW DXers in

higher Northerly or Southerly lati­tudes ere generally favoured by lower D-iayer attenuation. As always there is one exception to the rule: MW DX conditions are not favourable within the two polar au­roral belts where the ionosphere is almost continuously disturbed by the influx of solar particles. Anyone using directional loop antennas needs an azimuthal equal-area projection world map with his QTH m the world's centre. Or make use of a terrestrial globe which should be as large as possible. Connect station location and your QTH with some tape forming a great cricle section and orientate from your location. You will be surprise at the results. Station equipment: The better the receiver, the better the results. They should suppress a great deal of crossmodulation. .Long L- or T-antennas should be suspended as high up as possible to bring enough signal fieldstrength. They have no directional characteristics. If you use loop antennas put an antenna tuning circuit between loop and receiver. And remember: Nightime is DX hunt­ing time.

HE'S GOT SPUIS THAT JINGLE, JANGLE. JINGLE GENE MARTIN - 3303 Ea s t Evans Avenue - Denver, Colorado - 80210 • • • • • « » » » » » There has been some bragging i n club pub l i ca t ions recent ly as to which k i l o ­w a t t - i n f e s t e d , local -p lagued, QRM-cureed and image -a f f l i c ted DXer has the worst l o c a t i o n for the p u r s u i t of the hard-to-get d i s t a n t s t a t i o n . I cannot l e t th ie eort of competit ion go by without responding to i t for the FCC l i c e n s i n g m i l l has been running o o k f o r yea r s when i t comes to Denver. We now have 12 ANers on AM and w i l l soon have 13 (1393) . Sevan of t h a e re NSP a f f a i r e that only an ac t of God ever s i l e n c e s . As for images, we have minor ones which are r a r e l y heard because they are cover e up by major ones. A l so , throe of our Denver dsytimere, 990, 1220, A 1390, manage to transmit a ground wave a l l n ight , an open c a r r i e r o f 100 watts or so. Our 1220 ground wave AN i s strong as WOAI when you loop toward i t . Furthermore th i s 1220 th ing combines w i t h KTLK on 1280, and leap- frog* the 1280 program onto KSL a t 1160. The KTLK engineer was a a s e d when I pointed out to him how t h i s 1220 OC mixed w i t h the ea thsa t i ce of the superheterodyne to put h ie s i gna l on 1160. But he had no d i f f i c u l t y understanding i t . The l o c a l FCC knows a l l about the strong OC on 1223 a l l night A they don ' t give a t i nke r ' s dam that t h i s daytimer never r e a l l y shuts down. I a always amazed whenever I get msay from the Denver BF jungle and get to hear the c l a r i t y of s i gna l s i n remote p l aces . So I have f l e d th i s Denver l o c a t i o n often, and i n the l a s t f i v e y e a n , I have sampled radio reception i n such quiet p laces as D a l l a s , Minneapolis, f a r up i n the nmuntains of Colorado, Centra l Iowa, NE Naw Mexico, London, P a r i s , Mazatlan, and the is lands of Hawai i . We are going back/to Hawaii on Dec. 3 for 12 n ights . I 'm taking along the GX Super Radio, and w i l l feed what I hear into a Sory casse t te r e c e i v e r . That ' s how had Den­ver condit ions a r e . Juet see how far I w i l l go to get away frcm t h a !

Bani i s a town s i tua ted about 40 miles SW of Sapto Domingo, tot i n the l a t e 30s and ear ly 40s Santo Domingo s t a t i ons wore not heard i n Bani because of t h e i r low power. On the other hand, we, a t Ban i , only had e l e c t r i c power from sunset to about midnight . Santo Domingo etat ione were heard i n the day l i ght from noon to 2 p.m. when the po"«f plant was "on" for some r epa i r s an i t e s t s , tot on Short Waves, on tha 49 motor oand, they were HIZ-6112 HIG-6150, HIN, a frequency I don 't r omabor . I n the evenings the popular etatione hoard c n ' » wore from Cuba, preferred e t a t i o n was CMS for the i r i n t e r e s t i n g d r a a e l i k e "Chan-Li -Po " , the Chinese de tec t i ve , La Corto S u p r a a d e l Arte w i t h Cuban beet eingere and a c t o r s . At the time not everybody had a r ad io , you could count e a s i l y the homee that owned t h a and i t was customary for you to v i s i t t h a i n order to l i s t e n to the i r rad ios . We ueed to v i s i t some l o c a l s to res which u s u a l l y were open t i l l about 10 or 11 p.m., and had a radio for customers to l i s t e n to the program of t h e i r preference. There was a time i n 1937 whan we had a p ro fess iona l base b a l l garnet and the power plant wae put on operat ion to al low c i t i z e n s to l i s t e n to tha games on the short wave radio ae Santo Domingo s t a t i ons were too weak to be heard on MW, but we heard that way s t a t i ons from Santo Domingo, Santiago and San Pedro de Macoris. During the Second World War a very popular e t a t i on heard wae WGK on short waves from Schenectady, N.Y. w i th ttopar news i n Spanish as w e l l as conmentariee by Vicente Tovar arte other speakers . They a lso presented spy dramas r e l a ted to the wae l ike " L a Mascara Sonr iente " (The Smil ing Mask) about tha Japanese espionage i n the U .S . , a l so music programs w i t h Mexican l i n ge r s and the Fan American Orchest ra . When Dominican h a l l p l ayers went to Cuba to p a r t i c i p a t e in the Amateur World Se r i e s the power p lant was "on" for us to hear tha games, even r e ce i v e r s were taken to school so that everybody could hear tto g a e s d i r e c t from Havana. I don ' t mention ary frequency ae a t my home we d id not have a iy rad io , j u s t the popular radios i n the stores and I was so small that I was not allotted to touch t h a . Also the U.S. World Se r i e s were heard the same way, those places were f u l l of fans a t the time of the games to l i s t e n to t h a , a t th ie time the games were received i n Eng l i eh i n Santo Domingo and t rans la ted simultaneously so that wo could understand. Tto same happened w i th the Cuban night basebal l on the l a t e f o r t i e s a d ear ly f i f t i e s , everybody went to the etoree to l i e t e n to the g a e s . They had a good r u l e : A l l g a e s s t a r t ed a t 8:00 p.m., hut i f there was a t i e a t midnight no now inning wae s t a r t o i a f t a - t u t time and the gams was a t i e . Basebal l teats were taen: Almenlares, Cienfuegos, La Habana ani Marianao. At tha ea r ly f i f t i e s radios became cheaper when " u n i v e r s a l " sote were introduced, tncto were r e c e i v e r s w i th no transformers which ueed tubes connected " i n e a r i e s " and cost ly everybody s t a r t e d to buy tnem. Th3t'was whan in 1953 I oougnt my f i r s t rad io , a P h i l l i p s , made i n Holland an i s t a r t e d DXing i n the short wave bams, as i t only had a oand from 90 to 30 meters.
