You need to move Frequencies because of the OTHR Interfering.

Radio Ga-Ga used 6930 USB until the OTHR started then they switched to 6920 USB.

Thanks...not hearing OTHR here - oh well.  Well make sure all the gear is working then shut it down. New xmitter for this year and new audio gear.  Good time to work the kinks out.

If you're still on, I'm not hearing you. I've been listening to 6930 the past few min. No OTHR in that time

The OTHR keeps going on and off so maybe monitor http://radiodxing.ddns.net:8073/?f=6930.00amz10 for an opening which is now.

Thanks!  We'll play around here for a bit then call it a night.  We regained access to our xmit site today but the old antennas were damaged - all new assembled and installed in three hours.  Cheers and happy radio!

We'll shut it down and call it a night...we have to hoist the antenna up another few feet and clean up the power connections.  Thanks for your tips and see you later.....Buck

The OTHR is doing 4 Min Cycles so it will be best to transmit from 0001-0004 then 0008-0012 and so on.

I've been hearing carriers on 6930. So far, I've heard about 3 or 4, about 5-10 seconds in length over about the past 5 min. They wouldn't be strong enough for me to hear audio, but I have the receiver in USB, so they're fairly easy to hear that way. Not sure if it's you or someone else
