X-FM Summer outlook

(1/2) > >>

redhat:
Its been 6 months since our last full fledged show, and I have to say I've got the itch pretty bad.  Our last test on 4085 was successful enough to consider adding to the future arsenal and a transmitter is currently being built for that band.  Two other transmitters are also being considered for 175 and 43 meters to replace the rather bulky and very inefficient current stereo transmitter for 43 meters.  There is a lot of technology in the new rig, and will make our field operations much easier than in the past.  The listener will benefit from better signal and higher audio quality.  We will benefit from battery operation which will make operation possible in places previously unavailable to us due to noise restrictions.

Its taken 3 years, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I have a pile of QSL's to do as well before things really begin to ramp up again too.  Expect testing under various aliases, some relays, and other transmissions in the coming months.  I hope to have regular shows running again closer to August, but maybe sooner or later depending on work load, available fundage, and weather.

All the best folks,

Can't wait. You already had possibly the best pirate signal around, so I really want to hear what an improved one is like. BTW, where you say 175m, did you mean 75m?

redhat:
Technically, 171 meters, 1750 KHz.

It's been a while since I've heard strong pirates on the MW band. Brings back memories of the 80s with WHOT, WDX, etc. And they weren't in stereo  ;D

Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully that will still be copyable here in the west. :)
