anytime you want to use 6880Khz, i will yield it no questions asked to one of two of my favorite respected AM operators who inspired me to get back into this hobby of AM broadcasting.
that is RedHat and Azimuth Coordinator.
hats off to you both for giving me the inspiration.

0023 Music S9+ Good Audio

0047Z - now into HFU member "Matt-B", and his live streaming broadcast as requested ;)
more than happy to have you broadcasting on my station Matt.
i hope the band still holds out for "Radio Stasi" afterwards, if not, there is always tomorrow ;).
its nice to get some requests to play shows from others, i enjoy it very much and thanks to all of you for sending them in !
special thanks to member "ulx2" from Ukraine - surprisingly able to hear something on the lines of at least minimal from such a great distance especially for AM.
i am really curious to know the details of your reception station ulx2 - the distance of transmission is from the eastern seeaboard of the USA to you at 500 watts RMS.

0119- Got a Name - Jim Croce
i didnt get a chance to thank everyone for the reports from all over, so thanks to all of you.
also, thanks to everyone who requested to have their shows played including HFU member "Matt_B" and John from VORW, youre always welcome.
i still have other shows remaining to play but i am not sure how long the band will hold out before she starts to stretch her legs.
i will likely continue to play them even if the band stretches her legs and will repeat the last remaining shows tomorrow during better band conditions.

Sounds like radio free rocket, radiofreerocket@aol.com. I believe this was one of Relay Station's relays tonight. Send in a report and see what you get.

i am really curious to know the details of your reception station ulx2 - the distance of transmission is from the eastern seeaboard of the USA to you at 500 watts RMS.
You are welcome! The signal has been received in Kyiv with only Degen DE-1103 pocket receiver and 10 meters of external random wire as antenna. Initially it was quite weak, but became stronger later. However local QRM-noise made the copy difficult. I hope to receive your signal in park, where is less QRM, next time.
Thank you for the transmission!

thank you for the long distance report !
i believe the conditions of the band had a large play in how far the signal traversed since i was monitoring myself on a remote SDR in Ireland up to S5 but that is not surprising.
the operator at 6945Khz AM who had very good sound quality was also showing a trace carrier on the waterfall spectrum on the Ireland SDR as well.
im also an avid hobbyist listener as well as an operator.
the antenna i use for transmitting is nothing special, its a 14GA twisted copper horizontal counterpoise full wave dipole about 50FT from the ground with a measured total length for 6880Khz , its main direction of RF is east and west.

A variation on the evil Double Extended Zepp, eh? You're heading down a dark tangled path, my friend.
I miss pirating, but I don't miss fighting with antennas in the dark.
