Equipment / Preamplifier uses

« on: July 17, 2014, 0356 UTC »

I just got a cheap receiving preamplifier. Its a Palomar Engineers and goes from 1.8 - 50mhz.

Does anybody have experience with a preamplifier? It seems like it wouldn't do much on my skyloop because the noise would be amplified too.

Don't do it YHWH!   Just think, WWJD?  Wait, nevermind. Just think of how many souls you'll contact if you don't get caught!

Trace mx in my neck of the woods.  

The sun has recently set so maybe things will get better.

Some interference from a utility for about 10 sec. Getting a little more mx now.

I caught some music and it was coming in pretty good. Then I tuned away and came right back and all I heard was a Brittish or European accent man saying  "...on the 31 meter band." And then it went off.

That network makes me sick and want to barf.  But if I barfed, they could analyze my stomach contents (with smell sensors) and see what I ate for breakfast. And if I had eaten shawarma, they would come for me...

Wow, mylar, I'll have to try that out.

I heard the second battery is just a decoy.  The thing you really need to worry about is the high farad capacitor camouflaged as a button. (Its usually the thick button with extra wires going to it.)   

One time I turned off 2 cell phones before entering another country by plane. Upon entering the country they both received texts from the local network with advertisements about the network. So not only did they turn my phones on, they also sent me crap...and logged my cell into The List.

Hello, I'm currently reading your Pirate Radio Stations book!
Cooool, I've only heard one Europirate, Border Hunter in the day time on 15mhz.  Now that you mention it, it did give a pretty good signal on my portable's meter.  But I reported the signal as a 1 and 2 because that is what it "sounded" like. 
 It behaved differently than the usual American stations I hear in the way the music was effected by the propagation.  As the reception was getting better the music modulation was bad but later became fine.

I hears some AM on 6925. Its very weak. Definitely music. Sun is down here in California.

Sounds like old big band or jazz. I heard a jazzy clarinet. Then some band trumpets faded in.

It fades in and out of noise.

Better now. Definitely big bandish music. A male singer. Can't make out words to song.  Noise isn't as bad and very little fading. I switched the polarity on my loop and it came in better. I have alligator clips onto some 75ohm coax that goes out to my skyloop near my house.

Thanks Monday night pirate! I got little sleep last night and need to go to bed now!

Even better now.  Sounds like the music from the era of the Little Rascals TV episodes.

OK, I mean it now, I'm going to bed. Good night.

Ghost Riders in the Sky

Tuned here on my portable I took with me while hunting fireworks and I had a great copy! Didn't find any fireworks so went home and spied on neighbor's fireworks in backyard and tuned in to KCPR. I missed the electronic music, I like that stuff.

This frequency number is cool. I would like to be able to log this but I hear nothing here in Kali.  However, the sun is still up.
