QSLs Received / Radio Ga-Ga eQSL
« on: February 10, 2014, 0233 UTC »
Received an eQSL from Radio Ga-Ga for their 1st ever FM broadcast of 2-8-14 for a log posted here on hfu.  Op says he was using 15 watts into a 250' kite line antenna.  That was some kinda propagation......like I said, at one point the signal jumped to S9 +25...musta been an airplane reflection or something. Thanks a lot for the qsl confirmation.

Radio Ga-Ga, 2-8-14, *2300-2331*, 6.925 FM, sounded like someone in fm mode.  signal report S4 to S7.  heard "she drives me crazy" by the fine young cannibals, hearing "cover of the rollin' stone" at 2312 all in FM mode....whoa....temporarily jumped up to S9 +25 at 2320! Clear ID at 2325.....Radio Ga-Ga.  Hearing "Day Tripper" at 2328.  off after announcer talk at 2331.

Northern Relay Service, 2-7-14, *2347-0021, 6.925U, Signal in the static at S2-4 at 2347...heard morse code "N-R-S" so, i'm assuming i've got the station name correct, copy is rough ...talk of Homeland Security and some other skits.  Hearing a rant about mind control and reality at 0006.  Clips of alex jones show at 0009.  off around 0021.

Captain Morgan Shortwave, 2-5-14, *0157-0234, 6924 AM, 0157 sign on with music S5 to S8.  off after music at 0102 then on again at 0103..Captain Morgan Shortwave ID heard and more music.  sounds like the Mills Brothers at 0119 and off during song.  Back on at 0224 but way down in the noise now at S3-4 and receiving best now at 6.924.16.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / SDR-IQ Alternative?
« on: January 30, 2014, 1612 UTC »
I've been thinking of purchasing one of these.  I understand it will allow u to record 192 khz of band spectrum to hard drive for later searching/replaying.  Are there any other, cheaper alternatives out there that will allow one to record this amount or more, of band spectrum to hard drive?  How about recording 2 separate bands at once to hard drive?  Thanks in advance.  Regards, Scott.

UNID, 1-29-14, 0228-0233, 6.925U, hearing a bunch of ranting, laughter, vulgarities, etc at 0228, very weak here at S2-3 at best.  nothing heard now at 0233 unless station is playing music at a low level...we'll see.  Hearing an announcer talking now at 0237 with no highs whatsoever in the audio...cannot make it out.  don't know if part of programming i heard earlier, or not.  Please ID and QSL.  Thanks.
