help needed on shortwave
Steve
Australia
Just bought my shortwave radio a Sangean ats 505 . I am surprised at how
little I can pick up?
Anyone and good ideas to help me. I am lucky if I can get 5 stations in
total
Thanks for any help you can give
I used to have an old Russian shortwave that I bought in England and was
like a tank big CLUNK CLICK selector dial got great service off it but it
died after 30 years
Im pretty new to all this though
thanks

My 505 is pretty sensitive off the whip. Overloads with external antenna.
The SW schedules just changed so you might not be listening at the right times.
DxAce just gave me a good site to find the latest broadcast times and target areas.

Try to get some sort of random wire antenna outside your dwelling..
20 -30 feet should do wonders..Screw " Overload" , hook it up to the

I took RHF's advice on this and built a modified version for use indoors, using 50 ft.
of wire after the toroid section was wound. For indoors I replaced the weight with
an alligator clip. It works great.

There may be a chance you have a defective receiver. Even during the middle
of the day you should pick up some stations on the higher frequencies. When
I was in the Philippines I used to pick up all sorts of stations from all
over Asia & the Pacific.

Overload means your receiver is being overloaded by strong signals, and this
results in certain stations being heard all over the bands, no matter what
frequency you tune to. Or, it means that strong stations will show up in
places they shouldn't be. Overload is usually a problem with a high gain
antenna or too much amplification. A short wire (15 to 20 feet) connected
to the whip as outlined on my page above should not overload a portable
receiver.
I usually don't use auto search on HF due to the characteristics of
propagation, fading, etc. Plus weak stations will probably be passed over.
I'm not sure what you mean by a rumble noise, but if the station is strong
and all you hear is rumbling then I'd suspect a defective receiver.

20-30 feet of wire, should be copper wire, speaker wire will do. Hook it
up to the "whip antenna", that is, the metal retracting rod antenna that
extends out from the top of the radio. It would be best to hook it up to
the end of the antenna where the little knob is. Overload is when a
signal is too strong for your radio's circuits and creates false signals
or "images" all over the dial. Since you're in Australia, overload
should not be too much of a problem, is what Dan is saying. From your
other posts, it sounds like you live at the base of a hill on the beach,
your house pointing southeast. This is not a good situation to receive
signals on a small portable radio just using the built in antenna (the
"whip"). That's why you need to hook up 30 feet (about 10 meters, I
think) of copper wire to the end of the whip antenna and run the wire
outside your house and hook the other end of the wire to a tree or a
wood fence or anything that's not metal. Do you understand a little bit
better?

I am not familiar with your shortwave receiver, but perhaps you can tell
me the
receiver controls on the front.
Most communications receivers will have certain circuit designs that
will prevent
"overload", such as an automatic gain control [AGC] which automatically
attenuates large amounts of radio frequency [RF] energy entering the
first stage
of your tuned circuits. If your receiver does have an AGC switch, try
turning this
circuit in the on position and see if there is any difference.
Good communications receivers will have one to two stages of RF
amplification
circuits which are designed for selectivity. These circuits are
manually controlled
by a control on the front of the receiver called an RF control. By
decreasing the
RF control you will decrease the amount of RF amplification and bring
back the
selectivity to the front-end stages. Look in your instruction manual
and see what
your Intermod-Distortion [IMD] specifications are. This is the ability
of your
tuned circuits to reject received signals from heterodyning with the
local oscillator
[LO] during the mixing stage.
After you have read your manual and are satisfied with the ability to
control your
receiver correctly, I will be happy to suggest various external
wide-band antennas
that are simple to construct.

Li Changchun
source: An unnamed "high level CCP official" told the Epoch Times that the
Communist leadership "set up the timeline for attacking Taiwan" early in
2004. The purpose for the invasion of the island democracy will be "to
resolve conflicts inside China, no matter whether Taiwan announce
independence or not." The pieces of the plan were as follows:
Prior to 2008, every policy should center one the Olympics to further arouse
Chinese people's patriotism and prepare for attacking Taiwan. Around 2010,
reorganize the Party and clean out all the members who are against military
action. Around 2012, attack Taiwan and call for an Emergency Act inside
China. Through the Emergency Act, the CCP could confiscate private property,
especially people's savings, to resolve its financial and economic crises.
Eliminate the groups inside China that the CCP deems "anti-government
forces", such as Falun Gong, unofficial churches, human rights activists,
advocates for Tibetan independence, advocates for the independence of
Xinjian (East Turkestan), and intellectuals. Arouse Chinese people's
patriotism through the Emergency Act in order to resolve the unemployment
issue.
The aforementioned anonymous cadre fears "all these steps means China is
closer to fascism." This source specifically cited the newly minted
"anti-secession law" as part of the plot to "give the right of calling for
military actions to the CCP chairman." That man is now Hu Jintao, who at the
time of the plans formation was Vice-Chairman of the all-important Party
Central Military Commission Chairman. Jiang Zemin, who as Party CMC Chair
led the early 2004 discussion that led to the invasion plan, reportedly told
Hu earlier this month, "if we have to attack Taiwan, the earlier the
better."

The Communist crackdown on media continues, with "warnings to three

It would help to understand 3 things with regard to
the above......
1) The Epoch Times is a newspaper which is allegedly
owned by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church.
A quasi church cult which is known for far right wing
political leanings.
2) The notion that China would invade Taiwan is just so much pablumous
bullshi+.
Taiwan currently farms out close to 70% of it's vast consumer products
manufacturing base to China. This cross-border trade accounts for close
to $800B
in shared revenue. From an economic standpoint, Mainland China and
Taiwan are already one and the same Country/Political Jurisdiction.
For China to invade Taiwan would be shooting themselves in the foot and
killing
one-Half of the Golden Goose that lays the Economic Eggs. (Hong Kong
being
the other half of this equation.
3) China going to war would destabilize the economy of Japan as many
Japanese
companies do business in China. So does the USA. China goes to war
means
no product shipped from the Pacific Rim. The Banking and Merchant
Trade
Guild will NEVER let this happen.....PERIOD.

And your point is...?
The fact about the Epoch Times is that many stories are sourced from other
media. Including The Voice of America.
If you wish to make an issue with a religion denomination as being "right
wing" then you must include the Catholic Church, Orthodox Jews, Islamic
Fundamentalists, and so many more. The point here is that religion has
nothing to do with FACTS published in an independent newspaper.
Perhaps you would prefer reading the Chinese Communist Party propaganda
newspapers? Is it not "right wing"?

Not unless they're extremely stupid, which is a possibility. If they
invade then they'll have to take on the US Army. If they try to take out
all the world's satellites to cripple said army they'll get the entire
PLANET pissed at them, and lined up behind the Americans. If they nuke
LA in order to get the US to back off, they will find themselves
vaporizing under 15,000 nuclear warheads. Same thing for nuking
Washington DC or any other American territory. It would be a no win
situation for the CCP. Even if they nuked just Taipei they would
probably find themselves under a general embargo. No oil, no factories.

The sole purpose of the CCP is to REMAIN IN POWER BY ANY MEANS. One means
to do so is to rally a nations people around a nationalistic cause - smoke
and mirrors. You would do this when social unrest appears its ugly head as
it is now doing on the mainland. The CCP will do anything to maintain its
political grip.
The current economic scenario between China and the West is eerily similar
to Nazi Germany before they invaded Poland on the "pretext" that they have
to invade to put down the "uprising". China will use the same reason with
Taiwan.
Economic engagement has not ever worked on dictatorial regimes - EVER! In
fact even embargoes don't work. The only way to bring these dictators down
is by force or internal revolution.
Read the Nine Commentaries on The Communist Party. It is written by a
mainland Chinese for the mainland Chinese. It explains perfectly the evil
soul of the dragon called the CCP. http://english.epochtimes.com/jiuping.asp
John S.
from an unnamed source purported to be from within the Chinese
Communist Party. Actually, I have never heard of the Epoch Times. At
any rate, contrast that article with the headline below from today's
Washington Post. At least in that story we have a name within the CCP.
The most one can say is that the situation between China and Taiwan
continues to ebb and flow. That China has opened up and advanced
economically in the past 30 years is beyond question. And as it
continues to open up it will become increasingly accepted by other
major world powers. There are numerous examples of this worldwide
acceptance, but most notable because of the status it brings is the
decision to hold the 2008 Olympics in China. That China continues to
increase its position as a worldwide economic power should obvious to
anyone who has read Made-In labels recently. Along with these economic
links or ties to other world powers comes a dependency that becomes
harder to break as time passes. I am more certain now than 10 years
ago that China will seek a non-violent solution to it's relations with
Taiwan.
China Reaches Out to Taiwanese Opposition Party
By Philip P. Pan
Washington Post Foreign Service
Friday, April 1, 2005; Page A18
BEIJING, March 31 -- A senior Communist Party official called for a
resumption of formal talks with Taiwan in a meeting with a leader of
the island's opposition Nationalist Party on Thursday, the
highest-level contact between the two parties since they fought each
other in the Chinese civil war more than 50 years ago.
Jia Qinglin, the fourth-ranked leader in the Communist hierarchy, also
extended a public invitation to the Nationalist Party chairman, Lien
Chan, to visit the mainland "at any time he thinks appropriate." The
move set aside decades of official hostility toward the party ousted in
the 1949 Communist revolution.
John S.

Taiwan to Japan for what I believe was 99 years.

Is the U.S. Political Establishment Omniscient?
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/3/31/195518.shtml
Lev Navrozov
Friday, April 1, 2005
On March 21 I received the following e-mail from a reader (whose name I
withhold) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands:
Dear Mr. Navrozov,
I've been reading your articles with interest and applaud your efforts to
bring the threat of China (and its nano-weapons) to the attention of the
public. However, I have trouble understanding your often repeated belief
that the powers-that-be in the US are unaware of, or indifferent to the
threat posed by China. In my mind, the US administration is all too aware of
the fact that China is the main enemy, but cannot talk of this, or openly
defy China due to the fact that China has the US in a financial headlock. As
the world's largest debtor nation, the US is dependent on foreign nations to
finance its spending. China - holding about 10% of the US's national debt -
could flatten the US economy in a day if it so wished (and it may soon).
My reader in Amsterdam is right when he says that China has the United
States "in a financial headlock." But is this the only reason why the U.S.
establishment has been silent about the mortal military danger of China, and
few Americans know about the founding in China in 1986 of Project 863,
developing post-nuclear superweapons in seven fields?
Hitler's Germany did not hold 10 percent of the British national debt and
could not flatten the British economy in a day. Yet when Chamberlain gave
away to Hitler that part of Czechoslovakia where many Germans lived, the
majority of the Parliament and of the people at large were delirious with
joy.
Why? Hitler was perceived as a German patriot reunifying Germans. In the
case of Czechoslovakia, there was a conflict because Czechoslovakia did not
want to give away part of its territory only because many Germans were
residing in it - after all, they could go to live in Germany. Chamberlain
removed the conflict by giving away that part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler.
So Hitler was happy, and peace was no longer endangered.
It was only after Hitler seized the rest of Czechoslovakia and invaded
Poland in 1939 that the delirious British joy of 1938 dissipated.
Now, was Chamberlain "all too aware" that Germany was "the main enemy"? Even
if he was, what matters is what Chamberlain did, not what he was "all too
aware" of. The same applies to the majority of the British political
establishment and the British people at large.
China can "flatten the U.S. economy in a day." Well, this danger no doubt
contributes to the reluctance of the U.S. political establishment to react
to the mortal military danger of the dictatorship of China, no matter to
what degree each member of the U.S. political establishment is or is not
aware of "the fact that China is the main enemy."
Why should we assume that the majority of the British political
establishment understood in 1938 nothing about Germany, while the majority
of the U.S. political establishment is omniscient in 2005 about China, but
"cannot talk of this"?
My columns and my book address all Westerners as well as the Chinese
dissidents, and not just the Western political establishment, leading the
West to its annihilation or unconditional surrender either blindly or
consciously - "all too aware" of what the dictatorship of China is and what
the dictators are doing to bring about the annihilation of the West or its
unconditional surrender.
Still, it can be asked: Is the U.S. political establishment so omniscient
today (in contrast to the British political establishment before 1939)?
If the U.S. political establishment is so omniscient, why did it, two years
ago, pick Iraq (a small and technologically undeveloped country) for "the
pre-emptive war," and why did it ascribe to Iraq "weapons of mass
destruction"? Why didn't the U.S. political establishment foresee that while
the fundamentalist Shia majority would hail the invasion as terminating the
power of the less fundamentalist Sunni, the latter would wage a guerrilla
war, which may continue for another two, 10 or 20 years?
The U.S. political establishment is omniscient about China? How and why? In
1978, I wrote in Commentary magazine about the virtual non-existence of
Western intelligence/espionage vis-a-vis dictatorships like Soviet Russia or
China today. Iraq has demonstrated that nothing has changed in U.S.
intelligence/espionage in 25 years. If the U.S. establishment knew nothing
or worse than nothing in 2003 about Iraq (population: 22 million), why and
how can it know everything about China (population: 1.3 billion)?
Listen to the television "hosts" and their "guests" with academic degrees.
They do not notice the mortal military (or economic) danger of the
dictatorship of China. For that reason alone, what they have been saying can
be defined as "Philistine twaddle."
In the last 15 years there were four Western wars on small or virtually
defenseless non-nuclear countries: (1) the invasion of Iraq in 1991, and
"the sanctions" for 12 years, as a result of which half a million Iraqi
children under the age of five died; (2) the war on Yugoslavia because
Milosevic had allegedly ordered the massacre of 44 Albanians (actually, a
fabrication of the Kosovo Liberation Army); (3) the war on Afghanistan to
kill Osama bin Laden because he had boasted that he had "planned and carried
out" the terrorist act of Sept. 11, 2001; and (4) the war on Iraq again (see
above).
Those four wars and their justification testify to the low mental level of
the U.S. political establishment, not to its omniscience.
Another doubt concerning the omniscience of the U.S. political
establishment. China "could flatten the U.S. economy in a day if it so
wished (and it may soon)." How and why hasn't the omniscient U.S. political
establishment prevented this kind of economic destruction of the United
States by China?
Is today's geostrategy a definite body of well-researched knowledge that may
be in the head of every member of the Western political establishment as a
field of mathematics is in the head of a mathematician working in this
field? Alas, there is no such field of geostrategy. Much of what I state in
my column and in my book has never been publicly said before.
For example, the aggressiveness of big dictatorships has been explained by
the dictators' evilness, such as that of Hitler, who has been represented in
the democratic West after 1939 as a melodrama villain, screaming and
half-insane.
I contend that the primary motivation for the quest by a big dictatorship
for world domination is its dictators' understanding that unless they
destroy the democratic world (or make the relevant countries their
colonies), their population will emulate the democratic West and will take
away their power, as the population of Soviet Russia took it from Gorbachev
and the population of China created the Tiananmen movement aimed at
restricting or limiting the dictator's power, which could have led to his
total loss of it.

German's injected Skopedal (spelling) into some German Prisoners and
they dressed those German prisoners in either Polish uniforms or Polish
garb/clothing and then they turned them (the German prisoners loose) and
the German prisoners started attacking the German prison on the German
side of the border.World War Two was the result of that.

to continue, try the lower freq's at night, like 4700 to 11000, and the
higher ones daytime, 9500 to 15000. Hope this narrows down your search a

I concede, you are correct. I simply responded too hastily without
comprehending exactly the time from it refereed to.
By the way, unlike the mainland Chinese, the Taiwanese have an affinity
towards the Japanese.
The fact that matters is that the Chinese Communist Party NEVER occupied
Taiwan.
The Communist regime defeated Chiang Hai Chek(sp?) on the mainland and was
forced to retreat to Taiwan around 1949.
History changes nothing in regards to the present day threats from Communist
China.
Ignoring the present danger changes nothing except who will write the
history books.

Taiwan has never occupied that Island. That the Taiwanese are
different in many ways from mainland Chinese is a sensitive observation
not widely acknowleged.
