General Radio Discussion / Re: Last FCC Bust of a SW Pirate?

« on: March 12, 2024, 1313 UTC »

There's an (incomplete) list of busts here on the HFU Wiki: https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/index.php/Bust

That's right! The HFU has a Wiki! The best kept secret in pirate radio!

Just tuned in, SIO 222. Looks like it was a little stronger earlier based on the waterfall.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: Zeus software

« on: March 10, 2024, 1933 UTC »

I’m looking into SDR software.  I’m old school and I’ve always liked radios with lots of knobs and controls. I have a Belka, which can be connected to a pc, but I’m going to get my feet wet with a SDR dongle, the RTL-SDR V4.  I was looking at various software options for this and most of them were very foreign looking to me. But one did catch my attention, Zeus software for about $20. I like it because the layout reminds me of a communications type radio. Has anyone used this software?  Opinions?

B.S.

Since you asked for an opinion... Mine is to take the $30 that an RTL-SDR V4 sells for and set it aside. Save some more money, and get an AirSpy HF+ Discovery or SDRPlay SDR. You will find either infinitely better than trying to use an RTL dongle on shortwave.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID Tones? 6955.6 AM 2245 UTC 9 MAR 2024

« on: March 10, 2024, 1822 UTC »

SDR recording catch, on from 2145-2156, may have been UNID Tones due to the sweeping tones. Weak reception.
