Thanks for the correction. I'll send him an email and see what happens. Thanks for the help!

General Radio Discussion / Artem's World Music Show?
« on: August 26, 2014, 0052 UTC »
I like listening to this show, but can't seem to find them anymore. Anyone know if He's still doing them, and if so, where to get them?
Thanks,

Equipment / Re: Audio Processing
« on: August 25, 2014, 2321 UTC »
Wolverine pounds the hell out of his processing whatever he has. It kinda sounds like a 70's multiband innovonics box, but I could be wrong. Generally he runs about 4-5 KHz audio bandwidth, and that is the primary reason his signal sounds so good for SSB. I would prefer about 6KHz or so, but its difficult to find filters that wide for transmit applications. If I was going to do sideband again, I'd probably build a phasing type exciter, that way your audio bandwidth would be determined soly by the lowpass filter in the audio processing chain, not the crystal filter in the modulator.

To quote other members of the board, "Pirates are always were you find them, in your radio"
It's usually best to not publicly speculate about a station's location, as people who probably don't need to know frequent these forums as well.

Software / Re: ZARA Radio on windows 7 or WINE
« on: August 18, 2014, 0453 UTC »
I could have been running an older version, but the last time I tried it on 7 it would crash. I confirmed this problem with others and concluded it's no longer stable under 7. We'll try the linux route and see what happens.

« on: August 08, 2014, 2304 UTC »
For those that are curious about our origins, check out the wiki page http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/X-FM I've been meaning to do this for some time, and just recently got around to typing it up.

Bond the shield of the coax at your bulkhead and you should be fine.

He spent some serious money on that. God help the FCC if all pirates had that kinda coin to play with

I think He's dead on. Another short sighted calamity of all this is that the people who need shortwave the most are the ones destined to lose. Those people in developing nations without another voice, internet, satellite, et al. Sure, it takes a lot to run a shortwave station. Lots of capital, people, land, ect, but it also required the least from the listener. In many cases, you don't need power. I've yet to see a crank-powered satellite TV.

I've seen that signal "setup shop" there for weeks on end. For awhile, 6947-ish had a lot of untility stuff running, particularly if there were ops going on overseas, or "state of emergency" stuff going on stateside.

It looks to me like a main board from a commercially produced radio that has been cut to size to fit the box. The insides of my first stereo kinda looked like that.

If you knew someone at the power company, and if your power distribution is above ground, you could probably couple the RF directly into the overhead HV line through a 1000pF or so 40 KV capacitor. That would in essence give you an antenna system that is as large as your town.
In regards to carrier current, I was once told that in tall buildings at least, you wanted to choose a frequency that was close to the wavelength of your wiring network. Tall building were better for low frequencies, short buildings, higher frequencies. With a 16 block "antenna system" you would probably do quite well on 540 KHz.
