Via  W3HFU KiwiSDRs Westminster, MD, USA (best signal was coming in from the 250 ft V aimed towards Europe)

Decent quality S7 signal with some fading.

No signal at home QTH near Boston, MA.



22:15  Love is Blue (vocals; NOT Paul Mauriat version)
22:21  Brother Love (Neil Diamond)
22:24  Only Want to be With You  (I would have said Dusty Springfield, but I see two other suggestions so...?)
22:27  ?? (female vocals)

22:37  Vault ID

22:42 Pied Piper (Crispian  St Peters)  (signal improving/S8)

« Last Edit: April 22, 2021, 2243 UTC by bfrederi »
- Usually Airspy HF+/SDR Console V3.1
- After the tree guys left, now have a 125 ft wire that goes up to the west from 12 ft to 40ft., then a stretch SE that drops to 20ft termination. I should probably just say "longwire" and not worry about it. Miss that tree.
- Sometimes Sangean ATS-909X with whip and/or stock reel and/or YouLoop
- Remote SDRs only used when signal not present at home QTH, and always noted
- Shazam only used to ID music released after 1992. Mostly.
eQSLs to bfrederi1@verizon.net much appreciated
