I heard it on 6940 and no 6935 and it sounds better..banging signal in Huntington, WV on a random long wire.   Listening to butthole surfers pepper song at the time of typing this.

Awesome mix with the Buggles,  Radio killed the radio star and now some hip hop song..can't make it out, signal fading some..

Rage against the machine..sweet.  signal fading from 9 to 5 and static

I like this broadcast..good Job!!!  Aim that antenna to WV. Lol..

Just tuned in at the very end & caught about the last minute off the sign off announcement. Then, someone else said hi & RML came back on briefly. Really nice signal here.
Thanks for the show!

I heard the Hello after the broadcast as well, Andrew.  I had hoped it was another show starting up..

I havent had a chance the past few days to tinker with my antenna. 

This thread did get mentioned on the pirateweek episode for 1/6/13  which was really cool, Thanks Ragnar, that made my day.

Equipment / Re: What Radio Did you start your listening hobby with?

« on: January 06, 2013, 2014 UTC »

now that i think way back in the late 80s, my buddy and I would listen to his dads DX160 with a wire around his bedroom ceiling.  That picture in the previous post made me remember.  I guess that was my 1st time listening.  I think i might have been 12 or 13, but not sure..

I had so much noise last night and couldnt pull in much in the pirate bands.  I messed around with the anteanna some and disconnected my outside clip, and ran the wire down my hall way and made another wire the other direction to my window curtain.  The noise dropped way down to 1 or 2.  I went through the house turning off things like the fish tank pump, laptop charger, made sure my lamps were off and the heatpumps were off.  I couldnt isolate it in my home.  I did notice my outside line was running parrallel with power lines that were 50 feet behind the house.  I am wondering if that might have been the issue.  I changed my antenna routing a few minutes ago to make the wire perpendicular to the power lines and i ran the speaker wire into my tree about 8 feet off the ground. 

With my indoor anteanna tinkering, Glimmertwin, and KiloKat and Light Keeper were hearing numbers on 6.0165 ( i think it was) and this was suppose to be Havanna Cuba english time slot.  There were data streams in the signal as well.  very interesting night with that, anyway. 

LightKeeper suggested a loop anteanna.  I'll have to dig around and see what I can find out.
