General Radio Discussion / Low pass filters for 6.900~ish MHz

« on: January 08, 2011, 0527 UTC »

I got some I think T-126-2 torroids kicking around as well as some HV mica caps of various sizes.  I'm looking more for winding directions more than anything else, as most 7 pole filters I've found on the web list cap values and core type, but nothing with regard to winding instructions.  Looking for something that can handle at least 300W PEP.

Thanks,

General Radio Discussion / DRM or AM stereo, are either used by pirates?

« on: December 20, 2010, 1931 UTC »

Hello all, I've been poking around the forums here for the last few weeks and finally decided to speak up.  Fellow op, although most of my dabblings are on the FM band.  My questions concerns these two formats as I'm currently working on an exciter design for both, that is a multimode exciter.  Does anyone, in the states anyway, use DRM or AM stereo for transmission?  A friend of mine caught a pirate from Iowa someplace running DRM in stereo around 9MHz and it sparked my interest.

Thanks,

RH
