It was dark and bleeping cold this morning (OK 40°F is not all that cold, but it was damp and foggy too) when I dragged 3 radios down to the patio to see what was happening before sunrise.
The radio of interest this trip was the Zhiwhis ZWS-C919. Mostly I tuned the 49m band and below, using the radio’s Search feature (hold down the tuning button) to find some good stations. I got this unbelievably gorgeous signal in Japanese, but when I looked up the schedule, alas, it was from WRMI.
The most memorable bits from the experience were not the stations, but the other sounds. The C919 has lots of birdies. The birdies would come and go perhaps migrating up and down the bands.
The topic of birdies brings to mine another radio manufactured by the HanRongDa company, the HRD-701, that had sporadic birdies.
