Haha yeah. I remember when the government shut down last year and the FCC wasn't regulating, there was a Pirates for Peace broadcast that I caught the tail end of. They were making jokes about stiff and floppy antennae.  It was also fun because that one was broadcasted on top of the World Harvest Church's broadcast and it completely overpowered them in my area.

Equipment / Portable Radio Antenna Problem

« on: October 09, 2014, 0529 UTC »

I have this http://www.kaitousa.com/KA1103.htm portable radio and it's entire antenna came out of the socket including the rotating bit. The antenna itself is intact, but I think the socket might be slightly bent. Any ideas?

Rap music has no effect on violence in society. Crime and violence has been on the decline since the 1980s and 1990s when rap and hip-hop became mainstream. It's like me questioning how much less violence against African Americans there would be if we didn't have country music or similar genres.

Thank you. I'm on the website. I hope I'll be able to start broadcasting eventually.

Got it. So essentially, after I get the LPF, I'll just need an antenna tuned for the shortwave band I choose. Any broadcasters recommend a frequency or band, or is 6925 kHz good? Other than that, Woo hoo! I can combine my two favorite hobbies!

Pretty much - However afaik Raspberry Pi only uses the FM mode so apart from digital & actual FM I'm not sure what you might use it for. AM/SSB I believe is not possible with it - at least yet..<g> Check this out for some info on setting up LPF's and antennas-

Is there any way to build a good shortwave antenna or would buying one have to be the way I would go?

I got a Pi a while back and I've played around with it a bit. I downloaded a program that I can run on it that let's it broadcast on FM and HF spectrum through one of the pins on its board. What would be a good antenna for me to attach to it to broadcast shortwave?
