HOW CAN I DETERMINE IF AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA WILL HELP?

While inside your normal listening environment, tune in a relatively weak shortwave signal. Staying tuned to this signal, step outside and away from your building. If the signal strength increases significantly, an outdoor antenna will help considerably. If there is little or no improvement in signal strength, an outdoor antenna will help; however, the amount of improve- ment will depend on the type of antenna used. If you have questions about outdoor antennas, call Grundig technical support.

WHAT TIME STANDARD IS USED IN SHORTWAVE BROADCAST SCHEDULES?

Since there are many different time zones around the world, it would be impractical for shortwave broad- casters to give broadcast times for each separate time zone. To simplify matters, they list their broadcast schedules iin Coordinated Universal time (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), World Time and Zulu Time.

Just what is UTC? It is the time in Greenwich England with no correction for daylight savings time, and is always stated in 24 hour format. In North America, UTC is ahead of our local time, 5 hours EST, 6 hours CST, 7 hours MST, 8 hours PST; one hour less during the months of daylight savings time. So, if a broadcast starts at 20:00 hours UTC, this correlates to 15:00 hours (or 3PM) Eastern Standard Time, and 12:00 hours (Noon) Pacific Standard Time.

To determine Coordinated Universal Time, tune-in to a major station, such as BBC London, on the hour. If your shortwave radio tunes to the following frequencies, UTC can be heard each minute on station WWV in Fort Collins Colorado: 20000 KHz, 15000 KHz, 10000 KHz, 5000 KHz and 2500 KHz. Usually, during any time of the day, one or more of these frequencies can be received in North America. UTC can also be heard on the Canadian station CHU, at 3330 KHz, 7335 KHz, and 14670 KHz.
