Huh? / Re: Peter Tork, Court Jester of the Monkees, Is Dead at 77
« on: February 25, 2019, 2022 UTC »
I saw the Monkees in 1967, The Boyce and Hart Band played from behind a screen while the real talent in the Monkees. Davey Jones had a live mic.

It was an interesting crowd, a friends older brother took us in his monstrous '63 Plymouth Fury because he wanted to see the back-up band, some crew of hippies called "The Jimi Hendrix Experience"? I think Jimi and his crew learned that 12,000 screaming, booing, nine year old girls were too much for their sound system to overcome even though it went to eleven.

Trudy was pissed by Hendrix's racket, I can tell you that. No backseat hand-holdin' on the hour ride home.


Still infamous, as one of the most mis-matched tour pairings in music history, lol


Hmmm. Perhaps I should cut a new show recreating that epic tour...

Yeah! Let's not prevent people from illegally entering our country!

That's all that the East Germans were doing with their Berlin wall in 1962, amirite or amirite?

Glad we'll be in such good socialist company....

2305, hearing an aged pop hit enough to recognize, "roses in bloom, blah blah", on Chris's KiwiSDR.
S-3 to S-5.

49
From 2247 UTC, trying to listen on the Maryland kiwiSDR-
music fighting with noise, about S-3 to S-4.  Local reception probably about same but covered by local het.

2258- Dickweed &co DJ chat that I can't really make out but recognize Comrade Dickweed's voice.

Probably my worst ever reception of RFW which was usually S-7 to S-9 at my QTH, but thanks for trying, comrades!
These prop conditions suck for 43 meters...

Clair de lune by Debussy at 2346 UTC.

Weak, S-3 on the Maryland SDR.


51
Anybody catch the email for this, or have it?

I got "Radio Paisano at---" when the signal dropped out.


52
Radio Paisano 6950 kHz AM, 2226 UTC, 10/8/18

Italian-American stand-up comedian at 2226 UTC,
signal very readable at S-7

2228 UTC- song "Momma how I miss your (various Italian food items)"
followed by more Italian/accented music.

Best listening I've had all year due to horrific local noise, via Chris's Maryland kiwiSDR.

My Free Radio Cafe Pirate Radio forums are back in operation now, after a long-standing personal malaise and database error was resolved...  We'd be very happy to get a few loggings and have you upload your pirate QSLs!

Visit us at http://freeradiocafe.com/forum/index.php

Long story short:  don't try to fix it yourself first when there are more qualified people standing by to look at the situation for nothing...

If anyone runs into any problems, contact me at tcsshortwave@gmail.com

Huh? / Re: Al, I've got Belinda and the Giant Penguin...

I'm not sure whether I'm more turned on by feral Belinda or the Giant Penguin....

I do not understand the question...

You're welcome. And I'm at DEFCON, not Black Hat. Your old buddy Captain Crunch says hi, and he misses you.

Thanks, Al, it's good to see you being helpful for once.

And I figured you'd be at the BlackHat Con. complaining about the wireless service? Did they bring in strings and Dixie Cups this year?

I verify SDR loggings all the time, no issues with that, but I do like to know that's what they are, and where the receiver was located.

We now have an habitual Japanese listener who uses US-based SDRs.


58
How long before he shows up on SW in a howling duo of made up bull moose lunacy with Brother Stair?

Jones IS on shortwave, has been, I guess.

While some of us have been posting DF maps of broadcast and utility stations, I expect that all users understand that it would be best to refrain from posting any maps of pirate stations.


Why not make that a RULE for this forum, Chris?  NO POSTING DF MAPS OF PIRATE STATIONS! (or other location information, for that matter).
There are certainly enough moderators to make it stick and quickly remove any such thing...

It would probably make a lot of the ops feel better.  What's worse than individual listeners being able to do this DFing, is if that information would become published or widely disseminated.  This would surely result in a reduction in stations and broadcasts...

We can make it even slightly more broad than that, no DOXing of anyone, operator or listener. This would include TDoA maps, real names, locations, etc. Both posting the information here, as well as links to such information on other sites.   Reasonable?

YES!   Absolutely.
