Hello All,
New to the forum/site and this is my first post. Curious if I could get some opinions on why I cant seem to hear any of the shortwave stations that should be broadcasting. I'm all the way up in Alaska, on Kodiak Island which is a few hundred miles southwest of Anchorage. All I can hear is stations out of East Asia. I've looked over the schedules, followed the "rules" about low frequency in the night and high during the day and I cant hear anything bound for North America. Think this is because I'm so far north? I've attached a long wire antenna to the back of my house and it picks up the Asian stations better but that's really about it. Every once in a while I get the time station on 15000Khz.
Tecsun PL-380 is the radio I am using. I know its cheap, but its my first one.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Ryan
