I watch goat videos too and I can vouch that the goat clip at 1:25 is the best one on youtube.

General Radio Discussion / Re: What does Sx mean in terms of signal strength?
« on: November 10, 2013, 0002 UTC »
Eureka. My Radio Shack DX 398 (same as Sangean ATS 909) has a "1-10" signal strength meter. It threw me off because I've also heard references to dB and my meter doesn't have that. However, the wikipedia site cleared that all up.
My scientific side likes the SINPO rating.
My meter reminds me of the movie Spinal Tap when the guy is pointing out that his amplifier is better because it goes up to 11 instead of 10 like the other amps.

Hi, I'm new in these parts. And I'm enjoying capturing pirate stations. I would like to give the standardized reception report but I'm not sure what it is. I see everybody giving "S" and a number in regards to signal strength. What is it?

0036 I heard it here in California, the sun was still up. Its signal could have been better. I liked the song at 0036, but I had to leave. I wonder what band it was. What does WTFYWTCM stand for?

They just turned off at 0420. I think the DJ said they were going to move.
Pretty good signal here in California.

Reception got better as the sun went down but still fades in and out.
Blinded by the Light playing now
I enjoyed CCR and Led Zepplin earlier, and the B 52s!

I can hear definitely dance music beat but little else over the noise. The sun is still up here in California (4:15pm), hopefully reception will get better as it sets.
Its cool, I just strung my random wire over my tree so its higher and on the first test I get something.

Hi, I'm new and this is my first post.
I heard The Late Movie the other night and then found this website so I'm posting this report late.
I heard some Jimi Hendrix and then an interruption but then Hendrix started playing again. And I couldn't make out the email address, all I could make out was "....@gmail.com." And my girlfriend remembers a Spanish version of The Beatles' Michelle.
Thanks for your transmission, it is my first catch of a pirate station. I just got a receiver with SSB, go craigslist!
