General Radio Discussion / Re: Solar cycle 24 continues weakly, perhaps weakest of the space-age
« on: November 16, 2012, 0256 UTC »
I can't help but notice that since they've put that news bit out, the higher HF bands have come alive again and the solar flux has shot up again (currently 146).  I'm beginning to think that noone really knows what's going on with the current solar cycle...  :D

Equipment / Re: Using two SDRs with two aerials for steerable array?
« on: November 03, 2012, 1858 UTC »
Here's a ham that has used Softrocks to do it on 160m.  I'm guessing this would work for a small range of frequencies, since changing to a different frequency band would change all the phase relationships, and would have to be re-calculated.   :D

That would be the JT65 digital mode.  7076 USB is the normal hangout.  You can get the software here:

Hearing the trippy Radio Clandestine music well now.  About s8 level with minor fading.  Also hearing some blues type music underneath every once in a while.  Not sure who that is...

03:10  hearing Blues music much better now.  WBCQ relay seems to be QRT.  (trying to get ID)

Excellent signal into northern Illinois this evening.  About s9+20 or so.   I'll take anything by Eric Clapton if you're taking requests.  ;)  

Excellent... nothing like making a song request to a #pirateradio station. The wonders of modern technology...


***  extra request in case you run out  ***  The Seagull Song - Paul Rogers  (thanks to aurora for idea)


Thanks Wolverine...  ;D

Multipsk will do both of them I believe... The interface isn't the prettiest looking, but hey it's free, and will decode all kinds of digimodes...
