I do a lot of occultation work and stopped using shortwave some time ago. Instead I now use a GPS receiver which always gets an excellent signal and displays very exact times. Those are then fed into the video stream and imprinted on video for later playback. Granted there is no audio so it might not work if one is trying to observe through binoculars but for video it works great and could also work with visual observing if a second person called out the times. patrick On 16 Feb 2008, at 20:51, Gordon Prichard wrote: > Reception from the Hawiian and North American stations is very poor in > Australia and New Zealand.
