DLT's A Jolly Good Show 13 - late 1995

So decades ago I was into radio, and still am, and here is a recording of a radio program made by this blogger some... probably... 20+ years ago.

Dr. S. Fred Singer: No Global Warming Trend - VoA 2001 - THERE'S NO GLOBAL WARMING

DLT's A Jolly Good Show circa 1995-2001

Radio time - somebody's trying to revive the disgraced DLT's career.

So far without much success.

Radio Shack: VOA 2001 - "No Warming Trend" - Fred Singer Interview

Something from my radio blog.

In 2001 the Voice of America was educating the world on how there had been "no warming trend" since 1940.

The interviewee is Dr. S. Fred Singer, a notable global warming denier but with solid scientific credentials, unlike most others, maybe makes sense.

Also see how it was the United States, specifically the first G. W. Bush administration, that killed the Kyoto Protocol.

VOA January 2003 - Communications World

This is for all lovers of radio and especially international shortwave broadcasting.

From my radio archives comes this recording which I digitized yesterday - a VoA January 3, 2003 broadcast with the program Talk to America featuring Kim Elliott's 2003 New Year Communications World edition with international listeners calling in and discussing with the host various issues pertaining to shortwave and other communications topics.

There is also some January 2003 (pre-Iraq war) news too at 23:35.

It was recorded in January 2003 on a cassette tape using a radio / tape recorder whilst tuning in on 810 kHz in Moscow.

My Radios - VEF 214

This blog is for the most part about watches and clocks but not exclusively so as I am into other fine things as well, such as radios, and here is a VEF 214 radio set, another one of my many radios.

It's been in the family since 1988 and still works (video in Russian).

Coverage: LW, MW, SW x 3, and UKW (UHF) aka Russian FM (TV). It qualifies as a world radio for reason of having over 2 SW bands, I think.

The tuning dial which is marked in meters (wave length).

My Radios: 2005 Grundig Yacht Boy 80 - WR5408 PLL

Radios (with shortwave bands, the more the merrier) is another object of collecting for me and here is another radio from my collection the 2005 Grundig Yacht Boy 80 also known as the Grundig WR5408 PLL.

I have had it since 2006 and it is not just a collection piece -- far from it -- it is the one that is used the most for my occasional amateur radio activities like a bit of DXing - trying to hear some shortwave radio stations maybe getting QSLs from them.

So far almost all that I have recorded on my dedicated radio blog was received using this very radio set.

And it winters by itself at my country villa in minus 20 or 30 Centigrade temperatures too. But now it is basking in the sun.

 It has a nice soft real leather cover on magnetic fasteners which doubles up as something of a stand.

This review will be short on words (just my general impressions, nothing too technical) but long on pictures.

For some reason I like these time zones schematics. Many of my other radios also have them. See, for example, my header picture on this blog page. But in this case it's on the back so you rarely see it, especially since it is covered by the leather fold.

And a frequency range table.

One of the complaints is that it doesn't include an AC/DC unit which you have to buy separately (as it has no mains power) as I did.

SSB On/Off is there.

Another thing that it doesn't have is a signal strength meter. But everything else seems to be there.

Reception using its telescoping antenna is pretty good. You can find proof of it on this very blog.

I haven't used an external SW antenna yet (even though a reel antenna is included) but am planning to use it this summer.

Other than that, everything is pretty good and ergonomic, easy to use and operate and also durable.
