General Radio Discussion / Pirate Radio Superlatives
« on: September 30, 2014, 1734 UTC »
Well done article by Andrew Yoder in The Spectrum Monitor October 2014 issue.
Here's the lead-in:
Pirate Radio Superlatives
By Andrew Yoder
Over the years, radio listeners have asked Andrew, “Who was the first pirate?” or, “Who was the first pirate to broadcast
from a ship?” Unlike Major League Baseball, which has kept meticulous records for more than a century, pirate radio is a
largely empty record book, with few dots to connect. But this article isn’t cast in bronze, like the plaques at the Baseball Hall
of Fame. It’s more like the senior superlatives from your old high school yearbook. Andrew has been researching old loggings,
newsletters, magazines, and books for information and here are a few of the things he’s found.............
I'm not connected to The Spectrum Monitor other than being a subscriber.
Thanks, Andrew! Good information and look forward to the next one.

Equipment / Re: Audio Processing
« on: August 22, 2014, 0007 UTC »
In my experience with SSB there are many different factors involved; transmitter, microphone, power and audio source. I've never been able to turn on a transmitter and have it operate optimally without fine-tuning. Mic gain, compression, processing, ALC, etc. Your 930 should have a monitor function, put on the cans and see how it sounds, adjust it.
A good starting point would be the radio manual, then adjust accordingly.

Coming in over the bloody noise - Q3, S-3 noise level in Tejas. Thanks for the show!
0102 Jerry Reed - "Amos Moses"
0104 Jerry Reed - "East Bound and Down" Signal improving S-5 over a S-3 noise floor.
0108 Johnny Cash - "I've Been Everywhere" (I believe it's J. Cash. Thought I heard "Heavy Metal" by Sammy Hagar in there somewhere)
0110 Roger Miller - "King of The Road"
0113 OM OP - whistling "KOTR", WRR ID, one more song because he's got to work this weekend
0115 Merle Haggard - "Mama Tried"
0118 OM OP - Gone Gone Gone - enjoy the chow!

Most of that goes whizzing over my head - not even close.... 
What I know is that 6/18, 6/19 and now 6/20, the noise level on 40 meters in Tejas has been S-9 static.
I've been tuning around on Twente SDR for my radio fix.

OM S-7 in Tejas with a S-7 noise level. In other words, noisy.
0043 OM is gone. There is QRM/other broadcasting going on around this. Odd.
0048 OM heard again, tough copy. SDR shows something is still there.
