I have very half-heartedly tried direct radio voice (DRV) in the past. I have a CD player with a radio that I’ve left on white noise for a while. However after x number of minutes the device would intelligently decide it has been left on by accident and snap off. I bought some old radios on eBay but couldn’t get them working.
So after watching a few YouTube videos I was inspired to write to my colleague Lance from EVP Contact (see links on right) and ask his advice about which radio. A few hours (minutes) later and I have a Degen 1103 winging its way to me.
How did you get on with DRV Nicola?
They wouldn’t use it. They said there was no voice and turned the radio off! 🙂
I should explain that I was using the radio for white noise and also running a sound file as I usually do. Nothing came out of the radio – the only thing that happened was it was switched off. It was a few minutes later on playback that I heard them saying it wouldn’t work (for us) and my surprise when it seemed to switch itself off. I will eventually get round to publishing those EVP!
Degen 1103 is a good shortwave receiver, avoid these frequencies: 1,800 – 2,000, 3,700 – 3,800, 7,100 – 7,200, 14,100 – 14,350, 18,068 – 18,168, 21,000 – 21,450, 28,100 – 29,700.
Here, hams talk on the radio and what you hear will not be evp.
Wow Thomas! Guess what I was doing last night for perhaps the first time since I posted this? Yes I found the radio and I was scanning the waves but with no idea which frequencies I should be listening to. And here you are posting frequencies I should avoid which is a great help! Blessings to you Tom keep reading!
