Utility / HF Weather Voice Testing - 8674 USB, 0435 UTC 15 Aug 2020
« on: August 15, 2020, 0439 UTC »
Hearing a Coast Guard weather transmitter reading a web page that hasn't been formatted AT ALL to be read out by a robot. It's talking about testing and requesting reception responses from a bunch of stations.

It's overmodulated, and sounds pretty lousy.

0416 - Dare To Be Stupid
0417 - Smells Like Nirvana

Gotta love Weird Al!

0312 - Doors - People are Strange

UNID rambling about Covid cases on 6935. Occasionally getting hammered by radar.

5
Right on the edge of reception here, with deep fades and occasional QRM from OTHR.

Fantastic signal. Just tuned in at 0310.
0321 - Thanks for the shoutout! It's great to hear you again.

I heard that for the first time a couple days ago. What a great show!

0338 - Hearing faint music on 6940 USB.
0346 - OM ID as Potato Pirate.
0347 - Off. Thanks for the show!

I caught a bit of it here too.

0241 - Strong AM carrier, audio fading in and out from quite strong to absolutely nothing. Music playing, don't know the song.
0244 - OM identifying Radio True North. Perfectly timed fade up to perfect signal, then back to the noise.
0248ish - Off or fading to nothing.

Equipment / Rig advice?
« on: October 12, 2015, 0633 UTC »
⁠⁠⁠Could anyone suggest a commercial ham rig that can handle 100% duty on AM or SSB for about an hour, possibly with additional cooling? Obviously TX range expansion is a must. We're looking for something inexpensive in the $400 or less range preferably. The TS940-S looks nice, but the price is astronomical. 10 watts isn't cutting it on 43m with the bands in such lousy shape. Amps are always a possibility, of course.


Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks for the show, regardless. There's a little bit there, but not really enough to hear. Hopefully next time!

Nothing but carrier here, but that's better than I've gotten in a LONG time.

Correction: If I switch antennas, I get a teeeeeeeeny bit of audio, but nothing intelligible.

14
0203z - I can see a little bit of carrier on the waterfall, but there's barely anything coming through. Occasional fades of music.

15
0419z - Music playing, can't identify the tune. Pretty weak signal, with serious fading.
0423z - Massive improvement in the signal. The tune sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.
0430z - Off. No ID heard.
