Regarding Hebrew language transmissions on KOL YISRAEL (The Israeli
Broadcasting Authority):
They relay network "B" of their home service from 0400 GMT until
2310 GMT on various shortwave frequencies. At 0400, you can quite probably
pick them up on 9385 Khz. I have found that conditions this year have been
quite poor for receiving them. In addition, they transmit a feature program
in easy Hebrew directed towards overseas audiences at 2300 GMT. This program
is receivable on 7412, 9440, or 9815 KHz. It is however jammed by the commies
making reception quite difficult.
Regarding whether the SONY 2002 can pick this up, I suppose it could
with a good outdoor long wire antenna optimised for the 31 and 41 meter bands.
However, their signal gets quite weak as you get further and further west
across North America. My suggestion is to erect an antenna first and then
try the SONY on a trial basis.
