Title: Signal to Noise Ratios
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on September 29, 2011, 1753 UTC
There's been some... discussion about transmitter power levels, and how many watts does an operator need to "get out". I put together a short blog entry on it, which includes some simulated recordings of various Signal to Noise Ratios (SNRs): http://www.hfunderpants.com/?p=121 (http://www.hfunderpants.com/?p=121)

Kinda a late reply Chris  :o
Very well done!

Your SDR radio sure works well! Its a great measurment tool
I have been circling the field concerning one myself- now that
Radio Jet "thingy" appears. Hmmmm....

I for one really appreciate your work on this matter of "gettin out".
I have as much trouble down here in central Florida as anyone hearing
pirates on 6.925 +/-. With the low antennas you commented on
certainly signal levels would be reduced a bit down here on my antennas.

Keep up the good work- de-mystifying some of the aspects of ERP

My Thanks sir!
