Radio Amman Jordan 0500-0600 13655
Radio Cairo Egypt (unknown) 9475 (reception is poor)
N.B. For Kol Israel, all three frequencies are in use during all three
broadcasts. Intervening broadcasts are in French (i.e. 1/2 hour English,
1/2 hour French).
All broadcasts listed are (or should be) in English. Due to the volatile
nature of the situation in the area, all the above are subject to change.
This is especially true of R. Baghdad.
SPECIAL NOTE: Some of these stations can be heard with relative ease here
in the midwest. Others are difficult to hear even with good receiving
conditions. If you are using the built-in whip antenna on your SWL
receiver, I strongly recommend that you use instead an external antenna.
A simple long-wire antenna will DRAMATICALLY improve reception at little
or no cost. Use single conductor wire (the type that works best is
whatever is available) and run it from your receiving position for as long
a distance as you can in a more or less srtaight direction. 30 feet of
wire will work, 100 feet is even better (the length is not critical, but
longer is better). If you can get the antenna high above the ground it
will work better (I have had good results with 130 ft. of wire draped over
some bushes 4 ft. off the ground). You can use the antenna indoors by
taping it to the ceiling. To couple the antenna to your receiver, strip
the insulation from the end of the wire and wrap it around the whip
antenna. WARNING: If the antenna is out of doors it should either be
safely grounded, or taken down during electrical storms.
