Really nice 20 over S9 signal on portable Satellit 750. A good time to walk the dog with my PL660 as I will have something cool to listen to.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: CoolAM Radio, 6925 USB very clear signal here in southern CA, S=5!

I hear Paul Simon at 4:05 UTC not too strong but fair. I think there was another station on top of CoolAM a few minutes ago with weird stuff ...much stronger "why don't you lick my left nut" & other pithy sayings.
Definitely 2 stations 1 quite strong & CoolAM underneath it.

Shortwave Broadcast / LRA36 Antarctica 15476 KHz 19:30 UTC 4/7/14
« on: April 07, 2014, 1945 UTC »
Heard via Twente for the first time in several months. There is no ACI (Adjacent Channel Interference) in A14, unlike B13 which had AWR via Madagascar on 15480 thus ruining any chance to hear Antarctica. Pop music & OM in SS with deep fades. Never got any better than S5 but its nice to see they are still on air.

Hiya, Daniel
I have checked for this at various time from my QTH in Missouri USA & via remote receivers & haven't found a signal on 20918 KHz. I'll keep trying though.

Glad I could help you. I think the "crickets" are also TAH transmitting in SITOR.

Its hard to tell without actually hearing it but TAH Istanbul, Turkey coastal radio is on 8434USB. That seems like what you might be hearing on 8435LSB

Equipment / Re: Any Suggestions for equipment / software for RTTY / CW reception.
« on: April 05, 2014, 1622 UTC »
I've got one of those crappy little MFJ decoders that I have had for about 20 years & it was outdated when I bought it. I used to copy lots of morse code with it but I didn't have a precise enough radio to copy rtty with it although I do have one now & I still can't get the wretched thing to copy rtty. I have used fldigi to copy HF FAX, CW etc by acoustically coupling the radio & laptop (i.e. placing the radio near the laptop). I'm not sure if that works with multipsk though. I used to use my grundig G3 to copy fax images with both programs by connecting an audio cable from the PC/laptop to the G3. I mention the G3 specifically because for digital decoding it is a lousy radio but it worked well. I really recommend the VOA radiogram programs if you are interested in playing with HF digital stuff.
