A little trivia for our 2 Year anniversary:
-We haven't missed a Friday night, February 14, 2020 when we started. No pandemic yet then.
-104 Unique show themes (- our 1 year anniversary show last Feb.)
-We usually run 200W carrier (800W peak) AM unless we are portable which can range from 50-100W. (Encore shows are usually USB) If we are portable, it is on batteries charged by solar.
-The "Stream Team" does our livestreams and archives and ALWAYS records what they get off the air, so if you hear us, it was over RF at some point.
-All songs we play are legally purchased .mp3 files which we own (forever).
-All of tonight's songs were purchased and downloaded over a Spacex Starlink Internet Satellite dish, and the show production started at 4:30PM EST. Recording started at 6:45PM and finished 8:35PM. All equipment was run off solar power to produce the show.
-We strive to meet all of the broadcast standards required for international shortwave except for the 50,000 Watt requirement. That means we watch modulation, frequency error (+/- 5Hz), SWR, Harmonics, Distortion.
Thanks for all of your support! And special thanks for HFU!
