Spy Numbers / Movie: Numbers Station w/ John Cusack

« on: October 29, 2014, 1816 UTC »

Just picked this up on DVD the other day after reading the back of the package. Has anyone else seen this movie? What are your thoughts? I liked it to a point. (average film - but the premise was interesting) Somehow though, I just couldn't see the bad guys taking over a "Number Station" studio, when a nicely built ham station could be used for the same purpose.

 I really wanted to see a dedication to "Havana Moon" at the credits, but it wasn't to be. My other critique of the film, is that the movie and "extras" with the blu ray, almost presented the use of numbers stations as almost fictional.

Equipment / Loop Antennas: Wellbrook VS Pixel - Any suggestion?

« on: July 23, 2014, 1815 UTC »

Hi all...
I'm in the process of moving to a new QTH, and may be ready to try a loop antenna. Would like to compare antenna's, Wellbrook and Pixel. I know alot of posters use Wellbrook. Can you suggest a model? I was perusing info on the Pixel RF Pro 1B also, but at $500 (without a rotor), that's some serious coin.

Any suggestions and performance opinions? Thanks...   ...Steve
