I know listening to shortwave broadcast and utility stations is hit and miss sometimes. You can hear a lot of stuff one moment ,and hardly anything the next. I am located in Bainbridge island Washington, near Seattle. I have an Icom IC R75. And I am using a long wire antenna. I have had success with my set up in hearing all kinds of utility stuff. coast guard. .navy. airforce. I haven't had much luck in hearing broadcast stations. I am very interested in hearing news out of Japan. Even if it's not a station in Japan. Would someone give me some pointers as to how and when to listen,and where?
Recounting what happened-focusing on Miyagi with interview of victims.9875khz Radio Japan in English out of Ibaraki-Koga-Ya, Japan started at 1300utc-runs till 1330utc. Weaker copy than I normally get-must be running less power-but they're up.
Sad-mum's the word out there right now-probably strict orders across the board.Yes, I think you are correct. After all the effort they put into making safe nuclear power plants, they are having a hard time admitting all the problems they are having. NHK TV seems pretty good about giving out info however ( see CNN.COM)
