[7] But what if I don't want to hunt on-the-go for stations? You can also lock-in a 'full-time' transmitter. Just be able to wait through AM-type dead-zones: when relatively nearby your radio can be in a dead-zone; or when farther away, tuning in can be like using an 'AM radio' at night to receive that station, although antenna use is as for FM. Even if you stay put, a strong signal may soon fade away, since reception can also vary with time of day, as well as location, and some other conditions. As a general rule, '4-digit' frequencies are only DX-able at night. The list below has a variety of full-time frequencies of Oceania\America. Although this information is subject to change at any time without notice, the stations have not changed frequency very often. Typical transmission time for each frequency is over eight hours a day. The list can also help you test radios before buying one, or program memories before departure to avoid hunting for a station while underway. Many shortwave radios also have clock-radio functions: listed stations near to you or having good, reliable reception may be used for when the radio is set to turn on, and should keep on broadcasting, even if you hit 'snooze' repeatedly; otherwise, time stations are well-suited for this. kHz; Station, Location ------------------------------------------- 3,185 WWRB, Manchester, Tennessee 3,205 Radio West Sepik, Vanimo, Papua New Guinea 3,215 WWCR, Nashville, Tennessee 3,220 Radio Morobe, Lae, Papua New Guinea 3,230 NTSS, Alice Springs, Northern Territory 3,235 Radio West New Britain, Kimbe, Papua New Guinea 3,260 Radio Madang; Papua New Guinea 3,275 Radio Southern Highlands, Mendi, Papua New Guinea 3,290 VOG, Sparendaam, Guyana 3,300 Radio Cultural, C.
