Rob, I'll be interested to hear about your switch when it arrives. I have been thinking of one as well for the past little while. I even found one that has a balun which converts the RF onto a CAT-5 cable and back out to a connector in the house. This caught my attention because running a piece of CAT-5 or CAT-6 is extremely convenient vs. coax. The telephone company has been doing this over twisted pair for 100+ years, why not radio.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6968 was 6950 USB 0112 UTC 19 AUG 2021

« on: August 19, 2021, 0112 UTC »

UNID 6950.0 kHz USB 01:12 UTC 19 AUGUST 2021

01:12 UTC - UNID on and off, loud and clear with music and screaming voice;
01:22 UTC - Technical difficulties, transmission keeps cutting in and out;
01:23 UTC - Transmission abruptly terminated, nothing further heard from my location;
01:27 UTC - I can hear some music very faintly in the background but of different style. This is most likely a different station than the original UNID.
01:47 UTC - 6968.0 kHz, loud and clear and still cutting in and out. Nothing further heard.

01:30 UTC - Thanks Big Badfish Al. Well then, I guess I am hearing Zenith Radio Ireland in the background from my location on 6950.0 kHz. No signal on 6868.0 kHz from my location nor from the HFU KiwiSDRs.

No offence taken there I hope Radio Genix. It's not the mix, it's the repetition. I can only listen to Radio Gaga so many times before my head explodes.
