General Radio Discussion / A comparison of three low power AM shortwave pirate transmitters
« on: December 20, 2011, 1725 UTC »
Recently shortwave free radio station Channel Z Radio conducted test broadcasts using three different transmitters, all on the same frequency with the same antenna, a half-wave horizontal dipole cut for 6925 kHz, mounted about 40 feet high. As described in a recent article, this setup should be ideal for NVIS or regional operation.
It was interesting to see how closely theory predicted real world performance for signal intelligibility and propagation...

General Radio Discussion / NVIS
« on: December 17, 2011, 1441 UTC »
While shortwave radio is commonly thought of as being used for long distance communications, it also functions for local and medium distance links. This is accomplished by a method known as NVIS, or Near Vertical Incident Sky Wave, and is in fact what most US pirate operators are using, even if they have never heard of it before....
