  1.  @JJiMedia Hams use all sorts of words, usually countries...Mexico, Canada, Japan, Guatemala, that sort of thing.

  2. I'd like to visit one day.

  3. As with all HF, higher frequencies in the day, lower ones at night.

  4. The Icom 7300 in this video is a HF transceiver, and overkill just for listening. You can use any SSB capable SW radio, just get a good long wire antenna up. For listening to VHF airband, it's not a case of the quality of radio/scanner, it's how far you are from the transmitter site (maybe the airport) and how high you can get your antenna.

  6. Some of my earliest SSB listening on HF when I got a radio in the early to mid 1980s was HF airband. The frequencies of 5598, 5616 and 8891 are ingrained on my memory.

  7. According to an answer below, a 25m length of speaker wire.

  8. When a friend installed a (widebanded) ham radio set in his aeroplane ready for a transatlantic crossing, I tested it out on the ham bands first.

  10. I was going to mention NAVTEX and WEFAX as perhaps the next thing to delve into. Obviously requires some sort of computer.

  11. And Shannon on 5505.

  12. Volmet is an actual though, not a forecast. Like looking out of the window. :-)

  13. Just type in or tune to the frequencies shown in the video.
