Thanks for your question and the kind compliment, John.
Your inquiry is one I get quite a bit, so I hope you don't mind if I share my response here publicly.
Since I evaluate, test, and review radios I spend a lot of time with a variety of new receivers and transceivers.
I'm currently evaluating the Radiwow R-108, so it goes with me pretty much everywhere since I like to test receivers in a variety of settings. I'm also packing the Tecsun PL-310ET and the CC Skywave so I have units to compare with the R-108.
When I travel, I reach for my favorite multi-function ultra-compact shortwave portable. In the past, I would have reached for the Grundig G6, the Sony ICF-SW100, the Tecsun PL-310ET, the Digitech AR-1780, or the C. Crane CC Skywave, Currently, I reach for the C. Crane CC Skywave SSB.
When I travel, I try to pack as lightly as I can–perhaps some would even call me a borderline travel minimalist. For example, when I fly to Philadelphia later this month for the Winter SWL Fest, I will take only one piece of luggage, a "personal carry-on" item: the Tom Bihn Stowaway, a pack the size of a small laptop bag. The Stowaway will contain my iPad, cords/accessories, and all of my clothes and toiletries for about 5 days of travel. As you can imagine, there's not a lot of spare room in there for radio gear (quite the understatement).
I'll still have room in my bag for the CC Skywave SSB, though, because the receiver is so compact. In addition, it's a little "Swiss Army Knife" of a radio which covers the AM/MW, Shortwave, WX, and AIR bands. It also has SSB mode and uses common AA batteries. The Skywave SSB is a welcome travel companion.
When I head to a park or go on a camping trip with the goal of doing a little weak signal DXing, I reach for a full-featured portable. In the past, I've relied heavily on the Tecsun PL-660 or PL-680, the Sony ICF-SW7600GR, and the Tecsun PL-880.
After acquiring the amazing Panasonic RF-B65 last year, it has become my choice full-featured portable. Of course, the RF-65B hasn't been in production for ages, but thanks to a number of friends/enablers (including Dan Robinson and Troy Riedel) I finally found one for an acceptable price on eBay.
I've been incredibly pleased with the RF-B65's performance and feel like I got a decent deal snagging one in great shape for less than $200. Only a few months prior to my purchase, it was hard to find good units under $300. Click here to check current prices, if interested.
Since my staple morning news source, Radio Australia, went off the air, I spend a lot more time in the mornings listening to Internet radio mainly because I like listening to news sources that no longer, or never have, broadcast on the shortwaves.
Without a doubt, my favorite WiFi radio is the Como Audio Solo. I use it to listen to the CBC in St. John's Newfoundland, The UK 1940s Radio Station, RFI Musique, ABC Radio Sydney, and a number of other news and music outlets.
The Como Audio Solo also serves as an audio feed for my SSTran AM Transmitter which then allows me to listen to all of this excellent content on 1570 kHz with vintage tube radios such as my Scott Marine SLR-M, my BC-348-Q, and my Minerva Tropicmaster.
Without a doubt, my favorite radio for mediumwave/AM broadcast band DXing is the Panasonic RF-2200.
I mentioned in a previous post that my buddy Vlado (N3CZ) recently repaired, cleaned, and calibrated one of my RF-2200s.
Let's just say that Vlado worked his magic and my RF-2200 now operates and performs like a brand new unit. Seriously. It's simply unbelievable.
Not only does the Panny '2200 provide benchmark MW performance, it's simply a pleasure to operate. It also produces some of the richest AM audio you'll ever hear from a portable radio.
Of course, the '2200 hasn't been produced in decades, so you'll have to search for used ones on eBay, at hamfests, or through your favorite radio classifieds.
And, yes, I still need to finish a Part 2 blog-post about the '2200 repair–once I get a few details and photos from Vlado, I'll post it!
Your Daily Drivers? Please comment!
Keep in mind that my "daily drivers" change quite a bit–the ones listed above are my current favorites and have been for a year or more.
So now that I've shared my daily drivers, I hope you will, too!
Is there a particular radio you reach for more than any other? Please comment and tell us why it's your favorite!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributors Glen and James Fields who shared their experience after publishing a post about the HannRongDa HRD-737 portable radio.
I received one Saturday I had ordered from Aliexpress. In one word, avoid. The performance is really terrible everywhere except the FM broadcast band. Reception there is OK, but it is prone to overload more than my other radios. Aircraft reception is terrible. Only very strong shortwave signals are present. Same with AM broadcast. VHF performance is abysmal. To illustrate, my closest NOAA transmitter is so strong it trips the "close signals" quick scan in my Whistler TRX-1. On the HanRongDa, the NOAA signal is present, but it's weak. All my other weather band receivers can get signals on all 7 frequencies. The HanRongDa hears only the very close one. This is easily the worst receiver I've ever gotten. Perhaps it's defective. Eager to hear experiences from anyone else.
Received mine yesterday. Have only tested in my office which is a challenging, RFI-rich environment, so trying to withhold final judgement. However so far my experience matches Glen's. Can only pick up the strongest shortwave signals. MW AM so far terrible. FM broadcast passable but not at all remarkable, and most stations have a LOT of hiss in the background. Have yet to pick up AIR band transmission on frequency that I can get on every other receiver I have. Nothing on CB yet. Cannot receive any NOAA frequencies, including two that I get solidly on other radios. Interestingly I can receive local police dispatch frequency pretty well.
Positives? I got mine for $37 shipped from a reseller on Ali Express . If I had paid over $40 I would feel worse about the value. And it really is a shirt-pocket portable. Super small and light.
At this time I cannot recommend this for anyone, for any purpose.
Thank you for sharing! I think I'll pass on the HanRongDa HRD-737!

Radio is about the journey. And radios are the vehicles with which I explore our planet, albeit sonically. I'll stop listening to radio when it stops transporting me to far-flung, fascinating places across our planet.
I'll stop listening to radio when when it can no longer provide the kind of direct information and understated entertainment that is, for me (and a few others like me), a welcome relief from the overwhelming demands and distractions of the Internet.
And I'm perhaps a bit anachronistic in that I prefer radio's subtler theatre of the mind over the mindless image consumption that television demands; thus, I'll stop listening to radio when it too, tells me what I must think, what I must imagine, and what I must feel.
In short, radio is my tool for exploration, and I continue to enjoy tuning, listening, logging and learning from it. Very fortunately, I have the great pleasure of being in the middle of the world of radio technology in my reviews, evaluations, and alpha/beta testing.
This is why, over the years, I've made an effort to share some of my picks of the litter with others. So when TSM editor Ken Rietz asked if I would be interested in writing a feature about this, how could I resist?
What follows is a series of mini-reviews which focus primarily on the portable radio market. This is, by definition, a curated list, but I've done my best to include a variety of receivers I regularly recommend. The radios are listed roughly from least expensive ($25) to most expensive ($270), and I've only included models that are in production at the time of this publication.
Portables are truly the most popular category of radio among shortwave radio enthusiasts, and it's no wonder why! Among their other virtues, modern portables can pack a lot of performance into an affordable package, they're great for travelling, and their all-in-one nature makes shortwave listening accessible to virtually everyone.
Since I'm in the constant stream of correspondence and comments from radio enthusiasts, I know another reason some listeners consider portables simply invaluable: portables give us refuge from noise. Since many of us live in, and/or travel to, busy urban areas filled with radio interference, portables give us a means to head to the park, beach, or the countryside to escape the noise and increase our odds of working DX.
Fortunately for us, modern portables pack features of which, in former radio-listening days, we could have only dreamed.
What follows is a list of my favorite portables, listed by price in US dollars, with the least expensive first. Please note that retailer links include Amazon and eBay affiliate links that support the SWLing Post with your purchase.
Summary: For about $25, it's hard to complain about the V-115. Its performance and list of features exceeds expectations for radios in this price range, which are generally a disappointment. As for myself, I mainly use the V-115 as receiver to make off-air recordings and as an occasional backup radio. Unless your budget is very tight, don't buy the V-115 as your main receiver; rather, buy it to keep in the glove compartment of your car or in your go-bag. Note that this radio carries a number of brand names and has been rebadged many times. Click here to read more reviews of the V-115 on the SWLing Post.
Summary: The Grundig/Eton Mini is the latest in the lineage of the Mini series from Eton. The Mini has remained a popular radio because it delivers decent performance, with above average audio and makes for a nice broadcast listening companion. I recommend the Mini as a gift for those who want a simple pocket radio to operate with an easy-to-read display––great for the traveler or for elderly parents or grandparents who don't like too many fussy buttons. Certainly a great value for the money.
Summary: The venerable PL-380 was my first ultralight Tecsun radio. It's been on the market for many years, no doubt due to its solid performance. The PL-380 has an excellent receiver with impressive sensitivity and selectivity. The ETM auto-tuning feature is ideal for those of us who like to travel. The PL-380 is durable, affordable, and in terms of performance, is very similar to the PL-310ET (below). The PL-310ET might have a slight edge in terms of sensitivity. But for just $45, you simply can't go wrong with the PL-380.
Summary: The PL-310ET, like its cousin the PL-380, is a classic ultralight radio and performs brilliantly for the price. The PL-310ET has long been the backup radio I've taken along on mini DXpeditions and field-listening sessions. The ETM auto-tuning feature is ideal for those of us who like to travel. The PL-310ET is reliable, and you're hard-pressed to find a better performer under $50––indeed, it rivals some receivers twice its price. A solid choice for the budget-minded radio enthusiast and Ultralight DXer.
Summary: The XHDATA D-808 was, no doubt, the most surprising receiver to hit the market in 2017. It's an impressively sensitive radio across the bands, and can be snagged for an affordable price (generally $75-80 US). I was very skeptical of the D-808, but when I put it on the air, I discovered it gave some of my full-featured portables a run for their money. It is, indeed, a budget workhorse. If you live in New Zealand or Australia, you might find the very similar Digitech AR-1780 a more accessible option. Internally, the D-808 and Digitech AR-1780 (see below) are very similar. Click here to read more D-808 reviews on the SWLing Post.
Summary: Last year, my friend Troy Riedel and I met at Mount Mitchell State Park to compare the Eton Field BT with the benchmark ($270) Tecsun S-8800. We were impressed that the Field BT did an admirable job competing with the S-8800 (see below). Indeed, due to the Field BT's excellent audio, some broadcasts were slightly more intelligible than on the S-8800 (noting the S-8800 also has excellent audio). The only negative that was quite obvious at the time was how cumbersome it was to tune the Field BT compared with the S-8800. One year ago, the Field BT was widely available for $129––lately I've seen the price as low as $80 shipped. If you're looking for a lunchbox radio that packs serious performance, room-filling robust audio, and you don't mind slow tuning, the Eton Field BT is an excellent choice.
Cons: No direct frequency entry, audio tinny via internal speaker, AGC doesn't cope with fading as well as other comparable portables, no back stand nor rotatable whip antenna; thus this radio is not ideal for tabletop listening, supplied belt clip feels flimsy––if you plan to use this in the field, consider purchasing the excellent CountyComm GP5 series rugged case.
Summary: The GP5-SSB was one of the first sub-$100 DSP portables with SSB mode. Since its release others have entered the market (see XHDATA D-808 above for example). The GP5-SSB has a unique form factor tailored for handheld operation, much like a handie talkie. I keep a GP5-SSB in my backpack to use while on hikes, and am always very pleased with its performance. If you're looking for a bedside or tabletop portable, I would recommend other similarly-priced receivers like the XHDATA D-808 or Digitech AR-1780. Note that if you live outside North America, you might find it easier to purchase the Tecsun PL-365 which is identical to the GP5-SSB. Click here to read our full review of the CountyComm GP5-SSB.
Listening to the 2016 BBC Midwinter Broadcast to Antarctica while traveling in Canada with the CC Skywave.
Summary: I think the original CC Skywave is a brilliant little radio. Although it lacks SSB mode, it's a fine broadcast receiver and one of the most sensitive travel portables on the market. For those of us living and traveling in North America, the CC Skywave is a veritable "Swiss Army Knife" receiver, as it not only covers AM, FM and shortwave, but is a capable AIR band and incredibly adept NOAA/Environment Canada weather radio receiver. At $90, I believe it's the best radio value in the C. Crane product line. If the lack of SSB mode is a deal-breaker for you, consider the Skywave's pricier brother, the CC Skywave SSB (below), also an excellent performer. Click here to read our full review of the CC Skywave.
Cons: Mutes between frequency changes, sluggish response from controls. Note that at least one user has reported quick battery discharge when the radio is turned off. This has not been the case with my unit–in fact, it's often turned off for a couple months at a time and maintains a steady, healthy charge.
Summary: Digitech is not a brand known for delivering enthusiast-grade receivers to the Australian/New Zealand markets through retailer Jaycar.. While they've a number of portables on the market, so many are plagued with internal noise and quirky controls. The AR-1780 is an exception. For $129.00 AUD (roughly $103 USD), you're getting a full-featured radio that is, by and large, a pleasure to operate. The AR-1780 has its quirks, but so do so many ultra-compact portables in this price bracket. As mentioned in the cons above, there have been reports of some units draining batteries rather quickly when turned off (essentially in standby)––I have not experienced this, but this issue has been reported by a number of AR-1780 owners. The AR-1780 is certainly worth considering if you live in Australia or New Zealand. Note that the Digitech AR1780 and previously mentioned XHDATA D-808 share a nearly identical receiver design although their outer dimensions are slightly different. Click here to read our full review of the Digitech AR-1780.
Summary: I've owned a PL-660 since 2011 and still take it on DXpeditions and to use as a benchmark when evaluating new receivers. It has rock-solid performance all around with pleasant audio from the built-in speaker, and one of the best synchronous detectors on the portables market. The PL-660 is the radio I've recommended more than any other for newcomers to the hobby: it's a very capable DX machine with an ergonomic, intuitive interface. Click here to read other SWLing Post reviews that include the PL-660.
Summary: If you're a shortwave radio listener, you'll be pleased with the Tecsun PL-680. In all of my comparison tests between the Tecsun PL-660 and Tecsun PL-680, the PL-680 tends to edge out the PL-660 performance-wise. This coincides with blind user surveys I conducted on the SWLing Post. If you're a medium-wave DXer, you might skip over the PL-680; the PL-660 is likely a better choice for you. If you're a casual medium-wave listener on the other hand, you'll probably be pleased with the PL-680. Click here to read our full review of the PL-680.
Cons: At $169, US the CC Skywave SSB is certainly the priciest compact portable on the market, yet mutes between frequencies, engaging SSB mode requires 2-3 seconds of delay (common for this DSP chip), no RDS, no audio-out jack, no sync detector (a "con" in this price class), no long-wave reception, first production run had some quirks which have now been addressed by C. Crane (in case you shop for a used unit).
Summary: I love the CC Skywave SSB. Sure, I wish it had RDS, an audio-out jack, didn't mute between frequencies, and was less expensive (the current price of $169 seems excessive). But overall, it's a fantastic package. I'm impressed with the amount of performance the Skywave SSB provides with such a short telescoping antenna. Since first being introduced to the Skywave SSB last year, it has become my choice travel portable. Check out our initial review of the CC Skywave SSB and the important updated second production run review.
Summary: I've owned the Tecsun PL-880 for five years and it continues to impress. Tecsun has made iterative changes to the firmware over time, and now this radio is one of the best performers in the sub-$200 price bracket. The audio from the PL-880 internal speaker is simply unsurpassed in this size of radio. The PL-880 isn't perfect, but it does an amazing job, pleasing DXers from every angle and even ham radio operators who appreciate the narrow filter settings in SSB mode. All in all, you can't go wrong with the PL-880––it's certainly a quality piece of radio kit! Click here to read our full review of the PL-880. Click here to read our list of PL-880 hidden features.
Summary: The Satellit has a dedicated following among hard-core DXers, both the audio and superb sensitivity placing it well within the realm of benchmark receivers. It's a fantastic field radio and feels like one that should serve you over the long haul. It's not a perfect radio; I especially wish it didn't mute between frequency changes, although Eton seem to have minimized this in the latest production runs. If you're seeking a super-sensitive portable to sniff out weak DX, then the Satellit is worth serious consideration. Check out some of Oxford Shortwave's previous posts which include the Executive Satellit.
Summary: If your primary use of the S-8800 is for medium-wave or long-wave DXing, you should look elsewhere. While the S-8800 will serve you well with local AM stations, it will not dig signals out of the noise like other better-equipped AM receivers. But: if you're primarily a shortwave radio listener, you'll certainly be pleased with the S-8800! The S-8800 consistently outperforms my beloved Sony ICF-SW7600GR and my Tecsun PL-880. Indeed, it is the most sensitive and selective shortwave portable I own. On the flip side, it's also the most expensive: $268 at time of publication. If you want top-class HF performance from a portable radio and you expect superb audio, I think you'll find the S-8800 well worth your investment. Click the following links to read our full review of the S-8800, 13dka's review which compares the S-8800 with the PL-660 and D-808 and Dan Robinson's most recent S-8800 comparative review.
Keep in mind that this is a curated list of some of my favorites that are widely available on the market new. There are a number of receivers on the market––the Degen DE1103 comes to mind––which would have made it to this list had they not been "updated" with a DSP chip. Manufacturers add DSP to reliable models in order to increase profit margin, since DSP chips cost a fraction of traditional receiver design. DSP chips have revolutionized the portable market in many positive ways, but if they're not properly implemented in a set, they can produce higher noise floors, audio anomalies, shaky AGC, and other undesirable traits. The DSP receivers in the list above have properly implemented DSP technology and, save the cheapest models, are all what I would consider "enthusiast grade" radios.
What about other types of radios?
Of course, if you've become addicted to radio, you shouldn't stop at portables! I would encourage you to check out the three-part Software Defined Radio Primer published in September (Part 1), October (Part 2), and November (Part 3). The SDRs I mention in the primer are essentially what I consider the best of the best.
Of course, there are still a handful of tabletop shortwave receivers like the Alinco DX-R8T HF receiver, the Elad FDM-DUOr SDR receiver, and the Icom IC-R8600 wideband receiver. All are top-notch performers and, when paired with an effective antenna, can pull out weak signals much better than a portable radio ever could.
If you're a ham radio operator, take advantage of modern general-coverage transceivers. Only a couple decades ago, most transceivers were "ham band only" and the ones that were not compromised performance if they included the broadcast bands. This is no longer the case. Modern general coverage HF transceivers can rival dedicated tabletop receivers in many cases. I'm particularly fond of the Icom IC-7300, IC-7200, and Kenwood TS-590SG as home stations, and the Yaesu FT-818, Elecraft KX3, and the Elecraft KX2. This is a mere sampling of some of the excellent general-coverage transceivers on the market. Before you purchase a general-coverage transceiver, simply make sure it has AM mode and that the bandwidth is wide enough for pleasant audio. Ask current owners how their transceiver sounds on the broadcast bands.
As you select your next radio, take into consideration how and where you plan to use it, as well as what you're willing to spend. The good news is, we live in an era with an extraordinary number of options covering all price ranges and uses. So, be assured: there's a radio out there just waiting to sonically transport you to far-flung and fascinating regions, too.
Vive la radio! Long live radio!

Looking for a new toy again I recently revisited the Tecsun S-8800, which looked like it could replace both my battered old Grundig Satellit and my Tecsun PL-660. Being in production for a few years now, and with the "birdies" situation ironed out long ago, the S-8800 has gathered much acclaim by now but also a few somewhat contradicting reviews. For example, one review reports that the S-8800 can cope with larger antennas, another one states the exact opposite, one praises the MW performance, another one attests only average sensitivity, and only one mentioned an unpleasant detail I'm going to emphasize on in a bit.
All reviews touted the improved SW performance in AM and SSB though, and that was reason enough to make my own experiences. Testing it turned out to be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster though.
I hope I can share more than only redundant bits of information about the radio, and I'll skip most of the general information you can read in most other reviews.
Off to the 13dka radio test site at the dike!
Like the technically somewhat similar Tecsun PL-880, the S-8800 is a triple conversion receiver and has 2 conventional IF stages, the third IF stage is using a Si4735 DSP chip again, providing the filters and all that jazz.
On LW and MW, I first compared the S-8800 with my old Grundig Satellit 400 at home. The old clunker has similar dimensions, a big old speaker bass/treble controls and it was known to have an average sensitivity on the AMBC band in its time, when all the great, now vintage AM performers were still ubiquitous, so that's rather a "Jay Allen average" than an "average of the mediocre AM radios of this millenium". I think Jay Allen might rate it 3 stars.
The first station I tuned in was the BBC LW transmitter network on 198kHz and it turned out a tad more noisy on the Satellit. Great! I could also pick up Medi1 and Kalundborg a smidge better than on the Grundig, and in the early evening, out at the beach I was picking up stations on all still populated channels on LW (minus 180kHz where it has one of the remaining birdies). The other new portables I currently own (PL-660, D-808) are far away (PL-660) and far, far, far away (D-808) from that kind of performance.
Unfortunately that good impression vanishes gradually when leaving the long wave for the NDB band (still good) and finally medium wave. Before I left the house to test the radios on the electrically quiet beach again, I was checking out one of my favorite border case stations (low power station from The Netherlands on 1602kHz, whatever their name is this week) and that made very clear already that the S-8800 can't hold a candle to the Satellit, at least not on the top end of the MW band. Despite all the noise indoors, on the Satellit I could easily recognize the song being played while the S-8800 didn't pick up anything at all.
Of course I have read Thomas' assessment of the AM performance so I was prepared to be underwhelmed. But at least you can connect some high gain MW antenna to make up for the missing sensitivity and be happy again, or can you?
The unpleasant detail I mentioned before is: the Int/Ext Antenna switch does not turn off the internal ferrite bar antenna. Jay Allen mentioned it in his review, it was the only review with that detail and unfortunately I overlooked it. How does that matter?
The main issue is this: if you're (like me) forced to use outdoor antennas to escape high indoor noise levels, the internal loopstick just won't let you. The external antenna will just increase the SNR a bit when the station is strong enough anyway. Even in a low noise environment, the internal loopstick will needlessly add noise to the signal received from a high-performance active loop or FSL antenna.
There's more external antenna idiosyncrasy: only the BNC jack is wired to the "Ext" position of the antenna switch, the "hot" (red) Hi-Z terminal is active when the switch is in the "Int"-position, it just seems to save you an alligator clip on the whip.
The dedicated "AM antenna" terminal was in part what sold the S-8800 to me. The label made me assume this would be specifically wired to the AM circuit but as it turns out it's just a generic high impedance input and I really didn't anticipate that the internal loopstick remains always active (or in case of the Hi-Z terminals, the retracted whip). Yes, technically you can connect an external antenna for MW, practically…YMMV.
To conclude this section, the final outcome of this antenna connector issue plus the not so brilliant MW sensitivity was that not even my active ML-200 loop (connected to the BNC-jack) could improve reception on 1602kHz enough to make the S-8800 get at least a bit into the ballpark of the Grundig with its loopstick antenna. The currently mounted small 80cm rigid loop on the ML-200 just couldn't produce enough signal to lift the station over the noise that much.
Too bad that setting auto mute to '00' doesn't actually turn it off in SSB mode so there's likely no remedy for that.
On my example, there is absolutely no difference between the 3kHz and 4kHz SSB filters. A working 4kHz filter would have been a good choice for ECSS reception.
Another remaining quirk at least on my specimen of the S-8800 is a slight FM modulation of an oscillator in SSB, particularly with strong signals. You can hear it best if you create a heterodyne or listen to CW, the tone sounds a bit hoarse, so do voices and I'm not sure whether or not this could affect narrow-bandwidth digimiode decoding. The front panel (namely the bandwidth knob area) is quite susceptible for "hand capacity", the frequency varies a bit when you move your hand in front of the S-8800. This is not uncommon with portables of course, but my D-808 for example has its "Theremin playing area" on the back of the radio.
In this clip you can hear both the "hoarse" modulation and my hand waving to you.
This leads me to calibration and frequency drift. The S-8800 can be calibrated on SSB (see the "Hidden features" section below), however this turned out to be a (too) fast moving target. I don't know if it's the VFO or the BFO but it is so temperature-dependent that 6°C temperature difference equates to a quite substantial (for SSB) drift of 150Hz. Whatever oscillator it is, it seems to lack any temperature compensation measures, with all the implications that may have on relaxed SSB listening, digimode decoding and ECSS reception when the temperature isn't quite stable where you want to use it. After calibrating it, it's often slightly off again within the same minute. My cheap little D-808 won't drift even when I take it from an overheated apartment into a -5°C cold winter storm.
Now to the fun part! When I compared the SSB performance of the S-8800 with my PL-660 the first time, I found them very close for some reason. I could find only one weak station that came in noticeably better on the S-8800 and while I was happy that it wasn't worse than the PL-660 I was also a bit disappointed.
Timeline: 0:00: PL-660, 0:10: S-8800 receiving the "Gander Radio" VOLMET.
Then I repeated the test a few days later, this time a bit more into the evening and the outcome was very, very different. The S-8800 won every single weak signal comparison with ease and sometimes in a way that made me think my PL-660 must be broken.
But then I could help the PL getting a lot closer by simply holding it in my hand, the difference was that I had placed the PL-660 differently so I could record both radios easier. The factor I forgot to put in the equation was that the S-8800 is absolutely not depending on anyone holding it to give it some counterpoise – that and the long whip is certainly a part of its advantage, and the receivers would be much closer when used with the same external antenna. With the radios just standing there tho (and that's what most people will do with their radio instead of holding it in their hand), the difference is remarkable nonetheless and I also learned that you should always look and listen twice when testing radios!
I know that the S-8800 has inherited the "Enjoy broadcasting" and "BCL RECEIVER" lettering from the cheap S350, but after stepping the PL-660 and the S-8800 through all shortwave broadcast bands, I felt that's exactly hat it was made for, and it shows!
There is no doubt that a big speaker can create the illusion of better reception, but I think I don't fall for that easily and rather listen to the background noise and how intelligible the "content" is. While the comparison with the PL-660 often ended up in a tie when I subtracted the impact of the speaker in my mind, there were indeed some stations where the S-8800 had remarkably less noise than the PL-660. But of course the big speaker is giving the S-8800 a permanent edge on all reception cases, and it's a real joy to listen! Combined with lower noise and a generally more stable signal (through better AGC) this made quite a difference between the two.
Bottom line is that when listening to shortwave broadcasts, the S-8800 gives you the warm and lush sound of yesterday's famous receivers while it technically delivers the best performance of all Tecsun portables so far. If you fancy music programs on shortwave and if you don't mind the price for the luxury and performance, you'll enjoy this radio a lot.
Short story: my specimen of the S-8800 lacks the very good FM band sensitivity of the PL-660 or the XHDATA D-808. While the latter radios present my favorite marginal case station 100km away fairly with some noise at sea level, the S-8800 just doesn't receive that station at all, no matter how I position the whip. It's not exactly worlds between them but considering that (assumedly) most of the FM receiver is in the Si4735 chip that it shares with a couple of great FM performers from the same company, this is a bit surprising.
The S-8800 is said to have a pretty robust frontend, which I found true but I want to put that a bit into relation. My "lonely beach/dike listening post" sports 2 abandoned steel flag poles of 6 and 8m height. They can serve as support for wire antennas, or easily be used as an antenna themselves by inductively coupling them to the receiver – IOW by winding a wire 2-4 times around the pole (you could use the Eiffel tower as an antenna this way) and connecting the other end to the radio.
For some reason this contraption produces quite massive output voltages, but I could always use it for a quick and thorough (and due to the location QRM-free!) reception improvement with my PL-660 anyway. Why?
The PL-660/880 have a 3-position (DX, Normal, Local) switch. I think it turns off the input preamp in the "Normal" postion and adds a simple attenuator circuit in the "Local" setting. The latter is sufficient to tame the output of all sorts of antennas (including the flag pole) enough to make my PL-660 work just fine with that on all bands.
The S-8800's sensitivity switch on the other hand has only 2 positions and telling from the results it really only turns off the preamp. Now it actually acts up much less on the flag pole than the PL-660 in its comparable "DX" and "Normal" positions, so obviously Tecsun has put some effort into making the frontend more robust indeed. But it seems they thought "that should do, let's ditch the 3rd (attenuator) position and save 3 resistors" and that left me with many (but tolerable) images across the entire shortwave above 3 MHz, and a heavily image-infested 160m band. BTW, a few soft images from (I guess) 49/41m blowtorches could be heard around 29MHz with only the whip.
I believe that the "legendary" status of the Grundig and Zenith lines of world band receivers is partly owed to their big sound. They had their music loving and program listening audience in mind, and Tecsun's choice of casing, big speaker, the bass and treble controls are certainly taking the same line.
Compared to my Satellit 400 (80s model, but still has much of that "legendary" sound), the Tecsun sounds a bit more boomy in the lower mids while having a less super-deep bass response than the Grundig, which also sounds more neutral. Besides these very unimportant distinctions, the S-8800 does sound big and that also helps reception – lacking low mid/bass content can impair intelligibility as well, and it causes more fatique on long DXing sessions.
The bass/treble shelving EQ is certainly more sophisticated than the Grundig's, it has quite sharp cutoffs at very sensibly chosen frequencies, so turning the knobs down will leave the main chunk of the mid range completely unaffected and just helps removing rumble or the 5kHz beat frequency from a band neighbor, or add some nice hifi-highs and beefy low end when you turn them all the way up. In other words you can continuously blend the speaker sound from perfect "voice communications" style to "dad's big old radio".
0.) I found calibrating the S-8800 on SSB works with the same method used on the PL-880: Tune to a station with a known frequency, switch to USB or LSB and use the fine tuning knob to tune for best audio/music playback. An alternative way of doing this is downloading a free spectrum analyzer app for your smartphone ("SpecScope"), tuning the radio 1kHz off frequency so you get a nice heterodyne tone on USB or LSB, then using the fine tuning knob to tune the tone to hit exactly the 1kHz mark on the analyzer display. Your last 2 (Hz) frequency digits will now show an offset frequency.
1.) Then press and hold the '0' button until a '00' appears in the top right corner of the display and the last 2 digits of the frequency readout start flashing. Release the button and quickly use the fine tuning knob to reset the last frequency digits to '00' (the number on the top right corner should be changing while doing that), then immediately hold the '0' key again to confirm – tadaa, the offset should be gone while the last 2 frequency digits show '00' now. This all needs to happen pretty quickly and with the right timing, so it may take a few attempts to get it right.
2.) With the radio off, button '2' turns the LW band on/off.
3.) Press and hold the '3' button while the radio is off to toggle between permanent and "intelligent" display illumination.
4.) When the radio is turned on, this button enables access to the extra functions of the number 6 and number 9 keys. The display will read "On" when you perform this the first time, doing it again will turn it off again.
5.) Radio on, set to FM band: this toggles between 75 (US) and 50 (anywhere else) microseconds deemphasis on FM.
6.) Radio on: When enabled using the '4'-button as described before, holding the '6' will toggle the (annoying) dynamic bandwidth feature off and on. You can set this independently for AM and SSB. Ideally to zero, because it automatically resets your bandwidth setting and since this is happening in steps, it sounds quite strange. The PL-660 uses a stepless dynamic envelope following low pass filter (which is I believe what they called "DNR).
7.) This is still a mystery to me. On the PL-880, this button apparently controls the line out level on FM. On the S-8800 it (ostensibly) seems to control the S-meter bias with numbers running from '00' to '+99' and '-99′ for all bands. Positive values reduces the S-meter display which made me curious if it rather controls AGC level or gain at some stage, but it really seems to affect the S-meter display only.
8.) Radio off: Toggles the seconds display on the main clock (when the clock is displayed instead of frequency).
9.) Another important one: this controls the threshold of auto squelch/soft mute. If you want to turn that off, turn it down to '00' with the main tuning knob, then hit the '9' key again. You need to do this for AM, FM and SSB separately.
The S-meter was indicating a permanent base level of 2 bars even at my remote beach listening post. But even though it can apparently be "calibrated", a 5-bar indicator is quite a step backwards from the 99-step RSSI meter of the PL-880.
After an initial discharge and recharge cycle, the 2x2000mAh "18650" batteries gave me a continuous runtime of 21 hours. When you connect the charger and then turn on the radio, it stops charging unless – and this seems odd – you are in FM mode. A full charge while listening to FM radio took 4:41.
I had a pretty hard time making my mind up about this radio. It has so elaborate details, so much design improvement and costly parts went into it but I feel like it doesn't quite meet the expectations Tecsun created with this radio. Sadly, it has a few things that were started ambitious and ended underwhelming.
It got a huge 2-coil loopstick and somehow they managed to make it perform slightly worse than a 70€-radio with not even half of that loopstick size, they gave it 2 external antenna ports but they disappoint MW enthusiasts right again by keeping the loopstick always active, and how FM could turn out less sensitive than many radios with the same Silicon Labs chip (including their own models) is beyond me.
They improved the front end but then they dropped the attenuator, which costs the overall flexibility and better overloading-resilience their other radios have, they fixed the SSB issues of the predecessors and introduced a free-floating BFO with a mind of its own.
The price tag is making these downers certainly weigh heavier, and I think without them this radio may have turned out to be a real classic.
On the plus side I found a radio that really excels on shortwave. Shortwave program listeners can feast on a most sensitive, selective, luxurious and well-behaved portable with a big sound and I think there's probably no current portable that could compete with that.
Ham radio aficionados get improved SSB reception and if there wouldn't be this "cheap 70s receiver trademark" unstable oscillator, it would come close to communications receiver performance levels (minus the frontend needed for big antenna voltages).
That the price reaches into the ballpark of pre-loved high-end(-ish) JRC/Icom/Yaesu communication receivers or buys you a mint-condition ICF-2010/2001D may seem like a problem too. But then again, none of those radios is perfect either, and only the Sony is a portable.
Despite the quirks, the S-8800 is still a great, valuable radio that revives an out-of-fashion style of radios in a pretty unique and modern way.
What a brilliant, critical review of the Tecsun S-8800! Thank you so much for taking the time to properly test and compare the S-8800 with the venerable PL-660 and the XHDATA D-808 (readers, also check out his review of the D-808).
You're right, too, in that I've noticed some contradictions in reviews–I do wonder if part of this might be variations between US and EU versions of the radio, or perhaps small quirks in production runs.
No doubt, however, that the Tecsun S-8800 is a champion of the shortwave broadcast bands and its audio fidelity is in a class of its own.

Introduction to Mesothelioma
Diagnosing Mesothelioma
Treating Mesothelioma
Genomic Project
Our strategic approach has been to build an integrated research effort among multiple disciplines, with each contributing to a different aspect of the research program. All projects share access to patients (with consent), clinical samples, and a central database of patient and research data. Each project is ultimately designed to improve patient diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and outcome.
The following are summaries of current International Mesothelioma Program (IMP) research projects. Click on the title to read more on each.
Identifying Mesothelioma-Related Mutations
IMP scientists have discovered the unique genetic mutations of multiple mesothelioma tumors from individual patients. They found that each tumor had its own unique mutational profile – its own genetic fingerprint. In the not-too-distant future, the ability to obtain this unique genetic fingerprint will improve therapeutic decisions for every cancer patient. This is the first time researchers anywhere have identified in an unbiased manner all of the mutations associated with any cancer.
Novel Therapeutics Laboratory Identifies Innovative Approaches to Mesothelioma Treatment
Scientists in the Novel Therapeutics Laboratory seek to explain the mechanisms of action of mesothelioma and of the chemotherapeutic agents used to combat it. Their goal is to identify opportunities to improve treatment. Recent work has investigated the effects of cisplatin and rapamycin, alone and together, on six mesothelioma cell lines. Results in cell lines indicate that the combination of the two drugs significantly increased tumor cell death compared with either drug alone. In the coming years, Novel Therapeutics Laboratory investigators will continue the search for agents that may provide the basis for innovative, safe, and effective therapies.
Novel Testing Model Studies Effects of New Mesothelioma Drugs
Our researchers are beginning to investigate a promising new drug for mesothelioma, using a novel, more clinically relevant model for testing response to chemotherapeutic drugs. The IMP has worked on a project to study the drug bortezomib (Velcade®) and all cancer-related proteins within the cell that bortezomib interacts with and affects, in cultured mesothelioma cell lines. Our researchers demonstrated that bortezomib increases the ability of the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and pemetrexed (Alimta®) to cause cell death in mesothelioma cell lines. This suggests that bortezomib alone or in combination with standard chemotherapy may improve outcomes for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Epidemiology of Malignant Mesothelioma
The goal of this project is to conduct a comprehensive epidemiologic study of mesothelioma to investigate the underlying causes of the disease. It uses detailed patient questionnaires and tumor profiling to assess genetic susceptibility factors that may contribute to mesothelioma.
Innovative Test Will Help Physicians Customized Mesothelioma Therapy
IMP researchers have developed and validated a gene-ratio test that uses expression levels of four genes associated with mesothelioma to predict whether an individual patient is likely to benefit from standard multi-modality mesothelioma therapy. When combined with other patient-specific information, the test allows surgeons to predict with high certainty which patients will respond favorably to surgery and which should consider more aggressive experimental therapy. The information will be valuable in driving physicians' recommendations for therapy.
Kinase Targets in Mesothelioma
The overall aim of this project is to discover oncogenic kinase targets (both receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases), and to determine whether such kinases serve as appropriate therapeutic targets for patients with mesothelioma. This project is highly translational in that the objective is to identify drug targets that are evaluable in the near-term in clinical trials.
Innovative Technique Enhances Mesothelioma Research
Scientists from the IMP's mesothelioma tumor and tissue bank have pioneered an innovative method for characterizing frozen tissue samples with an unprecedented level of precision. This technique, known as microaliquoting, involves making very thin slices throughout a frozen tissue sample and examining them under a microscope to determine the percentage of tumor cells. Microaliqoting represents the next generation of prospective quality analysis for frozen tissue samples. Because of its precision in tissue characterization, it can play a valuable role in molecular research aimed at improving treatment for mesothelioma and other diseases.
Role of Asbestos in Development of Mesothelioma
Although asbestos is the only substance consistently associated with the development of mesothelioma, many questions remain as to the mechanisms by which it causes malignancy and whether there are, in fact, other currently unrecognized substances that also contribute to mesothelioma. IMP researchers are studying concentrations of fiber types in patients with mesothelioma to define the fiber types that contribute to the disease and how their presence in the body might trigger the development of mesothelioma.
Quality of Life Enhancement for Mesothelioma Patients
A newly-reopened IMP-funded study seeks to describe a quality-of-life "baseline" for mesothelioma patients, identify those factors that enhance and those that inhibit quality of life, and determine the impact of different treatment regimens (multimodality treatment, chemotherapy alone, other treatment, and supportive care) on patients' quality of life.
Improved Staging and Prognosis
Staging of mesothelioma is challenging. Unlike other malignancies, staging does not provide reliable prediction of survival probability for individual mesothelioma patients. IMP researchers have used the central database to identify novel patient characteristics related to outcomes, leading to proposed modifications of staging criteria and stage-independent risk assessment. These improvements may provide patients with more personalized profiles when considering the risks and benefits of different treatment options as related to their own priorities.

Be Kind: A Visual History of Humane Education
An Exhibit Presented By The National Museum of Animals & Society
You are here: Home / The Exhibition / Film and Lantern Slides / Black Beauty
Black Beauty was an important text for the Humane Education movement in this era. It was written by the British author Anna Sewell in 1877 and is, perhaps, the best-known of the "animal autobiographies" produced during this era, told from the perspective of a horse. The full title of the book as originally published is Black Beauty: his grooms and companions: The autobiography of a horse. Translated from the original equine.
The book takes the form of a memoir, recounting various incidents from "Black Beauty's" life. Moments of kindness and compassion are woven next to tales of mistreatment, a glimpse in to the life of working horses in 19th century Britain.
This book has been extremely popular right from its first printing. In 1890 George T. Angell, founder of both the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) and the American Humane Education Society (AHES), began publishing the book in the United States, citing it as a key book for Humane Education efforts. Hundreds of copies of this book were sold and given away through the outreach work of the AHES.
Lantern Slide advertising 1921 film version of Black Beauty. Collection of MSPCA Angell.
In 1921 the story of Black Beauty was adapted for the screen, and lantern slides like the one above were an important way of advertising the film. The film was a silent film and starred Jean Paige, an American actress who appeared in 21 silent films between the years 1917-1924.

Home Secretary Theresa May has asked the Metropolitan Police to check whether banning theft and arson is an effective strategy for preventing crime. Some criminologists have claimed that widespread looting and arson mean the laws are not having the desired effect. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mrs May hinted that the riot laws remained under review. She added: "There's not much point in having laws that are inefficient." She suggested that the funds currently spent on policing might be better spent on reconstruction.
And then, a breathless reporter telling us that the one question on everyone's mind in Frankfurt is: "Ob der Dachs sich erholt." And this while the British are killing badgers because they spread disease to cattle.
But there's a serious question here: The metaphors that are used for describing market trends are bizarrely elaborate, compelling, and contradictory. On the one hand, a stock index is like a climber subject to gravity: It "slips" or "falls", it "climbs" and "slips back" or "sinks", it "claws back" its losses, or is subject to "corrections", it "soars" unless it is "weighed down" by bad news, in which case it might "dip" or "plunge". (I'm sure there are lots more colourful words that I'm not thinking of now. In German I've seen reference to a "Börsentalfahrt". And at least the stock market is springy — after it crashes, it tends to "bounce".) So, the gravity metaphor suggests that the natural tendency of markets is to go down, even"crash".
On the other hand, the stock (or other) market is also a sick person, who may be "infected" from someone else (usually "the economy", but it could be "caution" — well, I guess caution is the disease), but whose natural tendency is to "recover".

One by one. That's British looting for you. They'll pillage, and they'll rampage, and they'll kill, but they'll queue up in an orderly fashion to do it… particularly if they have hopes of being rewarded with alcohol.


"Berlin Stalinallee: Die Strasse des Friedens" documents the construction of the Berlin Stalinallee, a monumental socialist boulevard built by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) between 1952 and 1960 in Berlin Friedrichshain.
The boulevard was rebuilt on the previously Große Frankfurter Straße (mostly destroyed during an air raid on 2/3/1945) and named Stalinallee in 1949 to honor Stalin's 70th birthday. It kept its name between 1949 and 1961, and was a prestigious urban project of East Germany's reconstruction programme after World War II.
It was designed by the architects Hermann Henselmann, Hartmann, Hopp, Leucht, Paulick and Souradny to contain spacious and luxurious apartments for workers, as well as shops, restaurants, cafés, a tourist hotel and an impressive cinema (the International).
"On June 17, 1953, the Stalinallee became the focus of a worker uprising which endangered the young state's existence. Builders and construction workers demonstrated against the communist government, leading to a national uprising. The rebellion was smashed with Soviet tanks and troops, resulting in the loss of at least 125 lives" (from Wikipedia). Later the street was used for East Germany's annual May Day parade, featuring thousands of soldiers along with tanks and other military vehicles to showcase the power and the glory of the communist government.
The box is complete with its leporello and 16 photolithographs after original silver gelatin prints documenting the construction of the Stalinallee. The series of photographs starts with Otto Grotewohl (GDR's first prime minister) laying the symbolic cornerstone, and concludes with the larger-than-life bronze statue of Stalin overlooking the newly designed and impressive boulevard.
Each photogravure measures 5 1/2 x 8" and is captioned at verso.

NAHL alums ready for the Frozen Four
Teams participating in the 2013 Men's Frozen Four won't wear, "Hello, my name is" stickers during this week's games in Pittsburgh, but the gesture wouldn't be inappropriate.
A refreshing lineup takes the ice for Thursday's two national semifinal games at the Consol Energy Center. Three teams — Quinnipiac, St. Cloud State and UMass-Lowell — are Frozen Four first-timers. The fourth, Yale, hasn't advanced this far since 1952, the "Frozen Four" term not yet coined.
Which means players and coaches from traditional powers such as North Dakota, Minnesota, Boston College, Michigan and Denver will turn on the television with the rest of us.
Instead, it's the Yale Bulldogs, UMass-Lowell River Hawks, Quinnipiac Bobcats and St. Cloud State Huskies. Two teams won their conferences (UMass-Lowell the Hockey East regular-season and tournament titles and St. Cloud State the regular-season Western Collegiate Hockey Conference title).
UMass-Lowell and Yale play Thursday's first semifinal at 4:30 p.m. ET, followed by Quinnipiac and St. Cloud State at 8 p.m. ET. Saturday's national championship game is set at 8 p.m. ET, with all games on the Pittsburgh Penguins' home ice.
All four teams: Quinnipiac, St. Cloud State, UMASS-Lowell and Yale all feature NAHL alumni on their respective rosters.
23 NAHL alumni will be represented when the four teams take to the ice at Consol Energy Center for the national semifinals on April 11th. For the first time since 1958 — and only the second time since the tournament's inaugural event — the Frozen Four will be made up of four teams all looking for their first national championship.
St. Cloud State beat Notre Dame 5-1 and Miami 4-1 in the Midwest Regional.

France Selects Calian to Support Readiness
Exercise Scenario and Script for Key 2023 Exercise
The French MoD has selected Ottawa-based Calian Group to develop scenario and exercise scripts for HEMEX ORION 2023, one of the core 2022-2023 exercise programmes for French land forces, the company announced on 21 October. The MoD chose Calian for the required support based on the company's solid track record of managing complex training requirements while accelerating trainees' path to competence. The contract, awarded in September, runs until May 2023.
Exercise HEMEX ORION 2023 aims to increase readiness of the armed forces, training combat formations and supporting arms to plan and conduct high-intensity operations. Calian specialises in simulating high-intensity situations such as these, and will produce a four-phase programme, linked to a common scenario, culminating in a land-based exercise that combines simulated and real manoeuvres. During this land-based exercise, participants from Rapid Reaction Corps-France (HQ RRC-FR) will practice newly-acquired skills on French terrain in real time. HQ RRC-FR employs 450 personnel, including 70 from 12 EU/NATO nations. They are trained for a wide variety of missions, from initial entry to stabilisation operations.
"The more realistic a training exercise, the greater the participant readiness. Our expertise in enhancing the realism of exercises like these means participants from across the French armed forces and NATO will leave prepared to face conventional and non-conventional forces," explained Chesney Clark, Managing Director of Cadence, a Calian company.
In addition to developing exercises, Calian trainers – all with military backgrounds – are experts in strategic planning, problem-solving and working under pressure, often in hostile conditions. This unique skillset comes from interpersonal coaching and mentoring, using subject matter experts, role-players and interpreters to enhance the realism of international training scenarios.
Calian specialises in tailoring training solutions to collective trainee requirements, managing complex training situations while assuring accelerated learning and skills retention. (Photo: Calian)

Fewer suicides with less expensive medications for erectile dysfunction
When medications for erectile dysfunction became less expensive and their use increased, the number of suicides among men aged 50–60 decreased in Sweden. This is the finding of a new study from the Uppsala University.
"This is another indication of how important sexual intimacy and close relationships can be throughout life, that for some people they can be so closely linked to life satisfaction and the ability to face life's setbacks," says Terry Hartig, Professor of Environmental Psychology at Uppsala University and one of the researchers behind the study.
During the period 2007–2012, an average of 62,000 men in Sweden used medications for erectile dysfunction. This number increased to 101,000 on average for the years 2014–2017, after the patent for the major bestselling brand Viagra expired and it became available freely on the market. Before the patent for Viagra, which has the active ingredient sildenafil, expired in July 2013, 12 tablets cost about SEK 1,200. Once the patent expired and competitors began producing generic versions with the same active substance, the market price fell to about SEK 300 for the same number of tablets, so a quarter of the previous price.
Decrease when the patent expired
In the study, which was conducted together with colleagues from the University of California, the researchers examined the number of suicides among men aged 50–59 in Sweden. Based on the suicide statistics for the period (102 months) before the expiration of the patent and the decrease in price, the researchers calculated how many suicides would have occurred if the change in price had not happened. They then compared the expected number of suicides with the number actually registered suicides during the 18 months after the change. The statistical material was fully anonymised and cannot be linked to specific individuals. The results showed that there were 65 fewer suicides than expected during the period.
There are many reasons the study focused on men between the ages of 50 and 60. The first is that this group increased its use of the medication the most during the period. The second is that, according to the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare's statistics, this group has the most suicides compared with all other age groups. The researchers did not see a similar correlation in other age groups of men nor in any age group of women.
"Chance would only produce our results fewer than once in 10,000 experiments. Fairly unlikely in other words and difficult to explain the difference in any other way than the introduction of the generic sildenafil when you include how the analyses were conducted and the fact that we saw a correlation in that gender and and age group.
Intimacy is important
Previous research has shown how important sexual intimacy can be for mental health. Experimental studies in this, however, are fairly rare because of ethical, practical and even cultural constraints. At the same time, existing surveys have not provided convincing evidence of how strong the connection is and if good mental health is an effect or cause.
"The study shows how epidemiological research can use data from the entire population to explore delicate questions that are difficult to examine with studies of individuals. More epidemiological research can be worthwhile in efforts to help individuals take strengthen of their close relations, have more time and opportunities for the sexual intimacy that they want and in this way maintain a sense of belonging and engender happiness and self-worth," says Terry Hartig.

← MALAYSIAN FLIGHT MH370 CRASH —–MOSSAD FALSE FLAG?
The Congress and its secular politics were dead to Chitpavans They needed a new vehicle for Chitpavan Glory .It was around this time when Gandhi and his associates took over the Congress that Savarkar "discovered" his newfound communal Muslim hating "Nationalistic" politics …… After Gandhi had taken out the Chitpavans in the Congress . The Chitpavans always nursed a grudge against Gandhi for taking over the Congress from them .They were just waiting for a moment and a reason to strike Partition presented a good enough reason for the Chitpavans to execute their plan to assassinate Gandhi .
cultural linkage between them and the Chitpavan Brahmins(who live very close by)is valid.
Hayeem S. Kehimkar. the classical Bene Israeli historian in his book The Jewish Communities of India: Identity in a Colonial Era says The shipwreck legend(of the Bene Israelis) is similar to that of the Chitpavan Brahmins of Maharashtra.
Chitpavans appear to be recent settlers in the Konkan area as compared to surrounding Maharashtra population Their ancestors may have a common origin with people such as Ashkenazi Jews and some other ancient idol worshipping Jewish or pagan tribes in the Baltic or Europe.Chitpavinism – A Tribute to Konkanastha Brahmin Culture' by Jay Dixit M.D.
The Parashurama myth of origin of the Chitpavan is identical to that claimed by the Bene Israel of the Kolaba district. According to Bene Israeli legend, the Chitpavan and Bene Israel are descendants from a group of 14 people shipwrecked off the Konkan coast. One group converted to Hinduism as Chitpavan Brahmins, the other remained Jewish or Bene Israel.
Manohar Malgaonkar in "The Men Who Killed Gandhi" says that psychologists may find some explanation for Nathuram's warped mental processes in the fact that he was brought up as a girl. His left nostril was pierced to take a 'nath' or nose ring, Malgaonkar writes.

This article makes for interesting reading while the jury might still be out on its historical validity. If true, it puts paid to the tall Hindutva claims of special patriotic credentials of Gandhiji's assassins. And all myths of so-called Aryan descent of the upper caste Hindus goes out the door, which would be all to the good as any kind of racism mixed with nationhood is obnoxious and pernicious.
what is the fact in this assassination of gandhi is that, the good fellow been killed by the worse one, whether he was brahmin or not that is not an important, but the mentality of the accuseds are worse they did not even think for the moment that the target is so weak and old man, who definitely deserve dignity, but unfortunately acts of these goons gave bad names to maharashtrians, its ashamed us as an maharashtrian. May God Rest the soul of great man in Peace.


KML varsity softball lost for the 1st time on Tuesday in Kewaskum. The game lived up to expectations as both teams are expected to be in the heart of the battle for the conference title. It was anticipated that it would be a close, low scoring affair and didn't disappoint. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 4th inning. After a one-out error and a single, it looked like the Chargers would get out of the inning unscathed when the next batter struck out, but a couple of two-out singles and another error led to 3 runs. The score remained 3-0 until KML scored a run in the top of the 6th with the help of a couple of Kewaskum errors. The Chargers did get the tying run to the plate with 1 out in the 7th, but a couple of strikeouts ended their comeback bid and the game.
Sophia Heckendorf, Katie Scherf, and Jamie Maas got the only three hits that the Chargers managed to get in the game.
Scherf took the loss for the Chargers and fell to 4-1 on the season. She allowed 5 hits and zero earned runs in 6 innings. She walked one intentionally and struck out 5.
KML's next scheduled game is Thursday @ KML vs. Plymouth at 4:45pm.

Retirement is the start of another chapter of one's life; not the end of the old one. It brings many opportunities to redirect one's energies and interests in new directions, to take on new roles, or to continue previous interests. For many doctors it is a gradual process which can develop at whatever pace one chooses, not a moment in time. In common use, 'retire' means the moment when you start to take a pension, but there's no reason at all why you should stop all professional activity then (unless, of course, that's what you want to do).
There are lots of valuable and rewarding roles for senior psychiatrists who have built up a lifetime's experience and have great skill and knowledge in their field. Many retired psychiatrists return to work in their own or other NHS trusts, or in the independent/private sector, possibly part-time, and possibly in new roles. The tribunal service, CQC, and the GMC have great need of experienced doctors to work with them in a wide range of capacities. One particularly urgent current need is for more second opinion appointed doctors (SOADs).
If you are considering retirement there are preretirement courses that you may find useful. The College runs these on a regular basis as do many Trusts and the BMA.
Outside the statutory agencies, retired doctors have an enormous range of choices. Some work with charities. Some work overseas. Some continue writing or teaching. Some develop or continue their medicolegal skills and provide second opinions or work as expert witnesses.
We hope that when you do retire you will remain involved with the College. Retired members may be eligible for a discount to membership fees. Please contact membership@rcpsych.ac.uk for details. After 40 years of membership you will receive lifetime free membership.
Of course, many retired doctors feel that they have spent long enough working as a doctor and want to fill their time with completely different things. These pages may not be of much help if this is you, but we wish you well in whatever you do!

[112 Ohio Misc.2d 58] ROBERT S. WYNN, Judge.
On February 5, 2001, plaintiffs filed their "Complaint in Forcible Entry and Detainer for Default under Land Installment Contract and for Damages for Breach of Contract" in this case. In the complaint, plaintiffs demand cancellation of the land installment contract and a forfeiture of defendants' interests in and to the land installment contract in question pursuant to the provisions of R.C. Chapters 5313, 1907, and 1923.
The court finds that both defendants have been duly served with a copy of summons and complaint.
At an earlier stage of this case, counsel for plaintiffs advised the court that defendants had vacated the premises in question, thereby rendering moot the possessory issues.
hearing. Plaintiff Dana A. Williams did appear with plaintiffs' counsel David L. McCombs and evidence was received. The court admitted into evidence a copy of the land installment contract and a copy of the forfeiture notice.
Plaintiffs have not sought in their proof a judgment for unpaid installments, and the court therefore declines to address that factual matter, even though this relief was demanded in the complaint.

Douglas Deem '76
Date of birth: February 3, 1954
Date of death: November 17, 1981
From the 1976 Lucky Bag:
DOUGLAS CRAWFORD DEEM
New Kensington, Pennsylvania
Let me tell ya. 'Deemer,' rising up from the depths of some steel mill in Pittsburgh, Pa., came to the Severn University with hopes of wine, women, and Corvettes. Majoring in Electrical Engineering with a minor in hypertension, he has fought a courageous battle with the former and will graduate with honors in the latter. Self appointed Jim Thorpe of the Brigade, Doug has excelled in all intramural sports and could always be seen worrying about his upcoming wires test while watching the Steelers on television. No stranger to the fairer sex, Doug has accredited to himself many varied experiences ranging from a one night stand with the local yokel to his true love with a playmate of the month. He has accomplished all his set goals (wine, women, and Corvette), contributed to the distinctness of the company, and has become a strong friend to many. Provided that the Navy is ready for him, Doug will surely find success in his future years of service.
Douglas was lost when his S-3A crashed short of USS Nimitz (CVN 68) on November 17, 1981 approximately 70 miles northwest of Sicily.
From David Winters '76 via email on December 9, 2019:
A group of us 36th Company 1/C, including Doug Deem, were talking over aspirations. Doug looked a bit adrift among that crowd who had finely developed career hopes and plans. He gazed at us as if we were from a different planet, looked down, shook his head and said, "I dunno guys. All I want to do is have fun, and fly fast."
That moment is still my most vivid memory of Doug. Well, that is except for the time when I was new to 36th Company, and we were on field for a softball game. Doug was playing 2nd base, and the runner on second was leading off base hoping I would fumble around and let him take third. I looked left at the first baseman and while still turned away from Doug, shot the ball to my right, straight to him, and head high, figuring he'd tag out the runner by surprise. Well, the runner WAS surprised by my little ruse, but so was Doug. He barely got his glove up before the ball smashed into it.
Gotta give him credit, though. Doug tagged out the runner, though his eyes were watering from the sudden unexpected contact between his face and the back of his glove.
Douglas was kinda grumpy with me for catching him off guard. He scolded me to look before I threw the ball. Yet, we pulled off the play. There was no point in arguing, and both knew that, had I not been looking away from him, the runner never would have left second base at all. After that, though, I don't think Doug ever trusted me to be conventionally straight forward in anything, ever. Good call, I suppose.
From Brad Little '76, via email on December 10, 2019:
Great stories Dave. To "Go fast and have Fun," I would add date good looking women which we all know he had a knack for.
Here is my story: Having grown up in Pittsburgh, Doug always had a particular interest in the "assumed" fast time to be had in Southern California. This manifested itself in one extended leave period when he accompanied me home. In addition to introducing him to the entire cheerleading squad from my days at Glendale High School, we spent a lot of time hanging with buddies. Doug wanted to visit the world famous Tommy Burgers. So I, and my close friend Julio Palomino, headed to Eagle Rock for a double with chili. Julio orders, grabs a couple of the chili peppers traditionally offered at the head of the line, and starts chopping. I follow suit and start chopping. Doug's turn. Orders his double cheeseburger with chili and grabs a couple of peppers. Chomps down, lets out a yelp, quickly followed by a scream and takes off running. We find him a couple of doors north standing in someone's driveway with a garden house running in his mouth. Of course I apologized for not explaining the relative heat seen in the Pittsburgh vs. Barrio food scene. Took him about a week to forgive me as I remember.
From Gary Greenfield '76 on 21 Dec, 2019:
Like all, I remember Doug's vibrancy and go for approach to the world. But I also remember his selflessness. If Doug were the Jim Thorpe of class, than I certainly fell at the other extreme, particularly in the 36th company. Plebe summer, when we were doing our morning run for the company and the goal was to be at the front and not languish at the rear, where I was perennially, Doug allowed all to pass him until he was by my side offering to help me along and sharing some thoughts on how to improve as a runner. That was Doug's spirit - not only that summer but throughout the years.
CDR Philip L. Reed '65 and LTjg Carey A. Arthur '79 were also killed in this crash.
Memorial Hall Error
Doug is listed in Memorial Hall as a LTJG; he was a Lieutenant with date of rank July 1, 1980, per the October 1981 Register of Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy.
Douglas is one of 11 members of the Class of 1976 on Virtual Memorial Hall.

A walk along a track following the banks of meandering Glengalmadale River to Glen Galmadale Dam with its fish ladder. There are lovely views of the surrounding high ridges, with the peaks of Beinn na Cille, Fuar Bheinn, Creach Bheinn, Maol Odbar, Meall nan Each dominating the landscape; part of the Galmadale Horseshoe. A complete circuit of the ridges forms part of the strenuous 16km Creach Bheinn & Fuar Bheinn: Galmadale round walk.
This is a lovely gently walk in a flat U-shaped valley across wet heath and grassland, with wooded sections (consisting mainly of beech, rowan, spruce and alder; both natural and planted). The herbaceous flora is variously hued throughout the season with purple moor grass (Molina caerulea), heather (Calluna vulgaris), bell heathers (Erica tetralix and E. cinerea), bog myrtle (Myrica gale) and bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) and devil's-bit scabious (Succisa pratensis), with meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) and marsh ragwort (Senecio aquaticus) in wetter areas. Insectivorous plants, such as butterworts and sundews (Pinguicula and Drosera spp) and variety of Sphagnum species characterise the boggy sections.
The track is clearly defined although some sections can be very muddy; there is also ford crossing, which may be impassable after heavy rain.
The track stops just after the Glen Galmadale Dam at a footbridge, but you can continue to a waterfall seen in the distance, passing through several fords on route marking the outflow of numerous mountain burns into the River. However, this section (marked as a footpath on the OS map) is not included in this walk as the path is very indistinct and traverses wet heath and bog. This section should only be done by experienced walkers with waterproof footwear, walking pole, map and compass.
Glen Galmadale Dam and its fish ladder were designed by Malloch of Perth and built between 1908 and 1910 to provide a freshwater fishing loch for the Kingairloch Estate. The fishing ladder was designed to allow natural colonisation of the 'loch' by salmon and trout. Unfortunately, the design of the dam was ill conceived, being subject to flooding, and the ladder failed to function as intended. The aspiration of an income source from estate fishing had to be abandoned after considerable expense.
Look out for raptors, corvids and red deer in the hills, and pipits and larks on the heath land. Take time for a spot of dragonfly stalking on route.
In the wider area, the remains of nine structures surviving as 'dry stone footings with varying levels of preservation' have been recorded by Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments Scotland (RCAHMS). These have been identified as possible shielings huts (small stone seasonal dwelling in upland areas for inhabitants tending livestock).
It is advisable to contact Kingairloch Estate before walking in the area during the stalking season.
1. Park at the designated car park just east of Glengalmadale River. There is an interpretation board by Kingairloch Estate displaying the route of the walk. The start of the walk is on a track just west of Glengalmadale River, i.e over the road bridge. Take the track through the metal gate (which may be open) and follow the track as it skirts along the tree-lined banks of the River.
You are immediately welcomed by a fine row of beech on the left, before the track crosses heath and grassland, with patches of woodland and plantation on the left.
2. Cross the ford and then pass through another metal gate by a shooting range (with metal deer target and stands).
The track passes by the western edge of the Glen Galmadale Dam whose southern edge is reinforced by concrete, and the associated fish ladder. Take time to admire this ill-fated structure, constructed as a freshwater fishing loch in the 1900s at considerable expense.
3. The track finishes at a rickety bridge, where you have opportunity to admire the waterfall in the distance and the ridge fabulous views in all directions.
4. Return by the same route.
You can continue to the waterfall, although the footpath is indistinct and traverses a bog. This route is not advisable after wet weather as the river is subject to flooding and can be dangerous.
