SINPO 44344 in deep South Texas on the border.

Picked it up with and SDR radio based in New Hampshire (I was away from my gear)  Sinpo 55455.

How do I get a QSL card?

I wish EBay had a feature that allowed users to comment on items for sale (Not the feedback feature).

Very strong signal, I think the language was Arabic.  I did make out the word "Cuba".

I pulled R. Kuwait in on June 2nd @ 1830Z.  Heavy static, news announcer with an English accent, hard to pull this signal.

An old, Motorola tube clock radio.  I was about 8, living at Pease AFB in New Hampshire and, on night, I picked up WWL in New Orleans with it.  I thought that was the coolest thing!

My first SW was some ratty, Gold Star portable, then I got a Heathkit SW-717.

Now I have a TS-830S, an Icom R75, an Icom IC 211A 2M........AND.....I just got an R-390A for $350!

BTW, I found an R-390A, and got it for $350! ;D

Equipment / Re: Looking To Buy - 30-60 watt AM transmitter

Thanks for everyone's input, I'm learning a lot from these postings!  Speaking of Allan Weiner... there's someone who goes by the name of "Tim Tron"? who works with Weiner that I guess had modified tube rigs in the past. Does anyone know if he might be able to help or is he out of the hobby now?

Timtron still has a show on WBCQ, according to the net: http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=show_program&id=42

He's still hammin' (WA1HLR) and has his own page: http://webpages.charter.net/wa1sov/meet_the_amers/wa1hlr.html

He <3s them tubes!
I love his 'fridge tuner!!!! http://webpages.charter.net/wa1sov/meet_the_amers/refrigintuner.html

Yeah,slipped my mind about the narrower audio on a ham transmitter.  As far as power goes,  a small amp will probably do the trick.

Maybe Allan Weiner of WBCQ and former famous pirate station operator could help.  He claims to be supportive of pirate stations.

Just get an HF amateur transceiver with MARS modification.  Make sure it has AM mode (Most do).

Yeah, everything is "Rare" on EBay.

I can get an R-390A/URR and have it re-done and aligned for about 1/4 the price.

"The vacuum tube flash drive sells for between $79 and $120." :o

Kind of high priced, but I might get one because I'm such a tube junkie.
