The are all over the spectrum. The best reception you'll get is from the Cuban relay. I've included a few other countries because you might want to widen your horizons and you get a much better picture of world events by listening to the foreign broadcasts than to the local sports, weather and traffic accident stations.

Some of these broadcasts go on for a couple of hours; some only last a few minutes. The frequencies and times change constantly. POPULAR COMMUNICATIONS magazine is a good source of info for the beginning SWL'er. It is available at just about any news stand. THE WORLD RADIO-TV HANDBOOK will tell you more than anyone would ever want to know. Most radio stores catering to hams, dx-ers and swl- ers carry it. RADIO SHACK doesn't. I've assumed that you wanted to do your listening in the evenings during the week. The weekend broadcasts sometimes are at different times and on differ- ent frequencies. Some stations don't broadcast on the weekends at all. To further confuse the issue most broadcasts are simulcast on several frequencies to overcome the problems created by sunspots and the atmosphere and by intent- ional jamming. The US is now jamming some rebel broadcasts into this country from El Salvador. I logged a very strong signal from the RMWS at 2140 on 12050.2 at which time they advised their listeners to retune to 15140, 15180, 15400, 12050, 11750 or 9580. 12050 remained good (sinpo=55455). 9580 was blocked by strong QRM from the VOA on 9578 and the rest were washouts. Again, I've just listed a few of the stronger stations. If they whet your interest your next step is the news stand for PC or Glen Hauser's REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING or try your local ham operators. When you're really hooked, try decoding the news services teletype on your home computer. - Phil Lavette
