No schedule, sorry. My station is still experimental and using ham gear temporarily until my main xmtr shows up. I should be on more regularly by late summer. Cheers.....lightkeeper

Recorder Catch; weak and at the noise floor

0406 Definite Blue Ocean Radio ID
0407 BOR addy, followed by more unid music.
0438 BOR ID, addy, followed by unid music
0512 BOR ID, addy - this was the strongest ID heard

Thanks BOR!
Tonight, due to the tuning on the rx, it was far easier to understand spoken word than music.

Weak to fair signal with some fading. Went back through my recording and started getting traces of audio as early as 02:50z, but can't confirm if that was definitely BOR or not at that time.

Hi Sealord, thanks for posting that audio clip. It's very useful to me to know where I'm being heard and, how well. It was definitely a weak signal but you could make out the ID on the voice announcements. Considering that we're probably at least 3000 miles apart, I was only running about 50 watts average power and we're in the noisiest part of the year, I'm pretty pleased with the results. I should be able to put up a loop antenna here quite easily to try out so will make some more tests once I've done that. I had planned to use AM exclusively but may reconsider now that I know my ssb xmtr is up to the job. Thanks again.....Johnny
