Is it Moscow or is it the WLIS crew again? It's the same frequency they started fooling around on their last time out.

Does he have the big one tonight and head off to join his pet goat?

I was still hearing him on an Ontario Kiwi faintly in AM about the same time, MDK.

The guy has psychiatric issues, ignore him.

You've got to have transceiver to do SSB, the AM'er may be rock bound. Quit your bitchin' and move a few Khz. All you've got to do is turn a knob.

231
I went north instead of west, you're sounding good on an SDR in Otta...I mean Port Asbestos, ON. The SDR in Possum Lake hasn't performed worth a damn since Harold left for Toronto. Low static levels up here in polar bear land.

232
Some sort of noise under you and the signal is getting watery. Time to head west.

233
Switched antennas, no more AM'er, You're a solid S-9.

234
Hmmm.... what I thought was monitor feedback in the studio seems an AM station underneath you? I can't make out what it is.

235
Talking during the break, getting some monitor feedback in the studio, the perils of live raadio. Back to music, sounding real good. Big signal in Westminster, MD.

236
Same part of the bit I came in on last night.

It's from a syndicated show called "In Search of" Nimoy hosted in the mid-70's. This is the infamous Gimlin Bigfoot Encounter and film footage episode. Odd how the creature showed up just after the camera was set up and one of Gimlin's buddies was about 6'8"?

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: How bad does Radio Cairo sound?
« on: May 06, 2023, 2009 UTC »
Cairo and Cuba are victims of old Soviet era transmitters and no new parts for decades. The audio sections had to withstand years of Fidel and Nasser ranting as loud as they could for hours on end. It takes a toll. The heat and humidity of Cuba, plus the 2-4 hurricanes a year don't help either.

Iran sounded ok up until the early part of the century. Their transmitters are from the time of the Shah. I guess the frying pan heat caught up with them? Anyway, it's all sermons and prayers, everyone memorizes them in religious school, Son of Satan.

Equipment / Re: Do you get RF jolt? What causes it?
« on: May 06, 2023, 1139 UTC »
A CB'er with a piece of crap amp driving by can do it, but lightning strikes propagate RF for hundreds of miles.

It's storm season in the U.S., you can hear the pops coming from the Great Plains east to the Atlantic, and from South and Central America. It last's until the end of October. It's why I used to do my pirating from April to October on weekend mornings, no point in fighting the noise.

QSLs Received / Re: Radio Vixen International eQSL

Poacher, there was time when digital tire pressure gauges went out with Radio Al Fansome QSL's. I've still got mine

RVI was on three frequencies last night, not that I'd know anything about it. Fox's are tricky, don't ya know?
