Complements Of KB9OZ Mailbox System In Goshen, In 

The following is a list of frequencies where English language press
stations can be found on HF. This list is from personal monitoring
over the last 10 years and is not copied from any other lists.
These press stations all transmit in English, some all the time,
others just occasionally.The "SB" column indicates USB or LSB to be 
selected for normal copy. The apostrophe next to the L or U indicates 
that the station is still on the air as of the last 12 months. 
(I don't drop any from the list unless I am sure they are no longer on).
The  "SH"  column  indicates  the  shift  (Mark  to  Space   frequency 
difference) used. Note that most use 425Hz shift. The "BD" column indicates 
the baud rate, not words per minute. This is standard  Baudot rtty code. 
Most foreign stations use "FIGS J" as the bell and "FIGS S" as apostrophe, 
which is the reverse of American machines. The "M" in the "BD" column 
indicates that the station is a frequency division multiplex transmission,  
usually with 16 subcarriers. The shift is usually 85 Hz and many terminal 
units will not copy this. Receiving these fdm stations with the bfo off 
sounds like a buzz-saw. These stations are the best source of AP/UPI news,  
quite similar in format to the wire line press service sent to radio 
stations. The best way to tune these in is to select USB, tune onto 
the station from the high frequency side to the upper-most subcarrier. 
This subcarrier is usually the one carrying the news. The "SVC" column shows 
the abbreviation of the news service. The "CALL" column is obvious. Not all 
stations give identify with a call sign. Some use the same call sign on all 
frequencies at once, and some have calls for each frequency in use, but do 
not indicate which call is for which transmitter. Not all stations of a 
particular service carry the same text. The VOA, for example carries as 
many as 4 different "programs" at the same time. the ARF, however, has the 
same text on all 4 frequencies at once. I have not given times of 
transmissions. That is too difficult to pin down accurately. Many stations 
are on continuously. The frequencies given are within 2 kHz. Some stations 
do slide up or down a little, reverse their mark and space frequencies on 
occasion, and my receiver readout does not include the amount of bfo offset 
(about 1.5 kHz). Later this year, when the list is updated, I will send the 
complete HF rtty list,including utility stations (weather, military, embassy,
etc). 

.     Happy tuning de KB9OZ
