True, I miss the old place too. I was there for Crapapocalypse 2012, and was also impressed by the mold growing on the ceiling tiles in the arena.
I was at the new venue last year, saw lots of ham-hoovers get stuck in the mud and have to be towed up the berm by staff with atv's. They had to use tractors to pull some cars out of the infield parking area.

I would tread carefully. I've heard some no-so-glowing reviews of his builds, especially his high power stuff. I would also like to see some spectral measurements and see if the things can meet NRSC specs for emission.
There is a reason that commercial stuff runs in the $10/watt range... Like a friend of mine used to say about, uh, large women...lots of fun, but don't get caught.

« on: May 27, 2018, 0801 UTC »Shame they moved the venue, people will never again experience the poop geyser or the arena seats sized for Americans with bmi of the 1950s. Hopefully, spiteful HAMs in hoverounds will still be rolling over people's feet to help keep the traditions alive.

Sounds like radio free rocket, radiofreerocket@aol.com. I believe this was one of Relay Station's relays tonight. Send in a report and see what you get.

that is RedHat and Azimuth Coordinator.
hats off to you both for giving me the inspiration.

6880 KHz 5/19/2018 Carrier noted about 2200z Weak at first, but getting stronger as we get darker.
2346z Hearing OM giving out email addresses, HFU address it sounds like. Back into music @ 2348z. Good bass modulation! I can see the kick drum sidebands @ 40 Hz...
2352z Coldplay 'Yellow'
2358z OM hearing ..."dot com"..."shortwave report"... lots of noise here, even though carrier holding a fairly steady S9.
0003z Rolling Stones 'Paint It Black'
0005z CCR 'Who'll Stop The Rain'
0014z OM talk, then into Heart 'Barracuda'
0022z OM Talk, "...gmail.com we'll see you next week.." into Death Cab For Cutie 'Crooked Teeth'
0109z Eve 6 'Here's To The Night'
Thanks for the show!

In addition to that, the commission needs to allocate spectrum on FM for commercial operations with a large amount of real estate to cover, like Drive-ins and campuses. Something like a 'super part-15' that allows 1-5 watt or less and allow time share frequency agreements so during daylight hours, the frequencies can be used by others.

Pigmeat, I've witnessed more than one 'daytimer' or 'reduced power at night' stations running full non-directional or daytime power at night, at least until the ball game was over. You are right about them living and dying by local sports, thats were the money is.

General Radio Discussion / Re: LPAM proposals, studies, and map.
« on: May 11, 2018, 1911 UTC »I love the Idea of LPAM, but it is , unfortunately, a double edged sword.
The AM broadcast band is clogged with hundreds of identical syndicated programs, and in major markets, only the strongest stations are listenable. As much as I would love to see small, local broadcasters making real shows run by real people, the AM band just cant hold any more. what needs to be done is a reduction in force. The FCC needs to lay down some stipulations for AM license renewal, stipulations such as the broadcasting of original, local content, which is not also being broadcast on FM. This would allow receivers to be widened back up to a 10 Khz bandwidth, rescuing the audio from its current, telephone like, poor quality. The preference toward local contend would also favor low power over high power, and independent over conglomerate. and over all, would be a better "revitalization" of the AM band that any amount of deregulation.
P.S, I don't have any objection to simply disregarding the FCC rules, and I am not saying pirate radio is bad, just that even pirates need to be stewards of the limited radio spectrum we have.
Well put!
