S7 sig here - good audio
2205 Ventures- Hawaii Five O theme
about 30 seconds of dead air
2208 Beat It-Michael Jackson

I'm assuming this is CCC with dance mx.  S6-S7 here.
Heard "Okay that's enough" and off soon after at 2003. 
Perhaps testing.  Didn't resemble their normal programming.  Perhaps not them...

Broadcast Announcements / WAZU trying again on on 11518 this weekend

Linear is repaired.  We'll be transmitting several times this weekend if the stars are all in alignment...

Gonna put a new exciter and dipole through its paces today.  Power level will be held low - probably about 50 watts PEP.  Catch me if you can...

Update at 1920 - I zorched a snubber cap in the linear amp but the exciter is running barefoot at about 10 watts PEP and will remain on for several hours.  A good QRP test if Cuba can resist running numbers today...

Off at 2355.  Exciter worked flawlessly.  I'll make repairs on the linear and try again soon.  Thanks for trying!

It's September 19th.  I hope you all have been giving ARRR-ARRRHs to all the lasses and buccaneers in your life today...

The RF Workbench / LULU kits are available on EBAY
« on: June 07, 2015, 0053 UTC »
Stretchyman in the UK has just released his LULU kit.  This is for the RF deck only.  You will need an audio amp and you'll have to wind a modulation transformer.  If you lack appropriate transformer iron a T200-26 iron powder core from Amidon or CWS Bytemark will do the job.

I have bought from Stretchy several times and he is on the up and up.  His boards tend to be high density so newbs should pass but if you have some building experience, this is probably the easiest and most painless way to get a decent signal on the air.

"CZ" beacon coming in loud and clear in upstate NY.  About an S6

11
Nice signal this week, S6 on peaks over an S1 noise floor.  Man and woman talking back and forth and laughing / cutting up in Russian.  ID at 1553 and into Russian pop (what? no metal?).  A second pop song at 1557.  Cut carrier at 1600.

12
Sig about S8 over an S7 audio floor and the audio is kinda boomy.  Shout out to Evil Elvis at 2320.  Golden Earring "Radar Love" at 2322.  Audio improved somewhat.  The Who "Pinball Wizard" at 2329.  Aerosmith "Walk This Way" at 2333.  Several shoutouts and GEs/GMs.  The Guess Who "Share The Land" at 2336.  Maybe Scorpions at 2340.  Yes "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" at 2344.  Clear ID over music at 2342.  Audio has improved greatly from tune in.  Occasional brief Ute QRM, mostly readable show.  Carrier off at 0038.

Thanks for the transatlantic show!

P.S. - since I know the op will be reading this, let me say Thank You for the Christmas card!!!

10/11 meters / 25.860 Anyone?
« on: March 16, 2014, 2157 UTC »
A mighty 5 watts into a vertical dipole with an old show from an old dog...

Nice sig into upstate NY - about S8 with punchy audio.  Good enough reception to open up the filter w-i-d-e.  Good clean ID at 2308.  Carrier cut in mid song at 2342

Thanks for the transatlantic tunes!
