Equipment / Re: Suggestions?
« on: September 16, 2013, 0122 UTC »
Your equipment should be fine and 3/4 of an acre is fine.
I have a 102' G5RV at about 20' and it works fine for general HF listening. Currently listening to a pirate on 6950 AM. Had been tuning around 19-41m SW BC bands.
Also have a 100' wire that runs from the porch to the shed in the back. The lowest point is about 7' from the ground and the high point is probably 15'. Its not the greatest, but better than nothing. And about as cheap as it can get.
Does your PRO-2004 still work? I have one as well, but it doesn't work anymore. From what I've read about it, that model had bad PCBs that that lose their connections through the boards. Too bad too, as that was a great scanner when it worked.

Been listening since he came on. Been up & down, from the noise level S5 to a solid S9.
Around 0430Z, the band dropped and signal has been just above the noise level. Too bad too, some great music playing tonight. And, of course, in the awesome C-QUAM.

Why the station went off the air (from KBC's FaceBook page):
"Some alert cables were stolen out of the ground. Those open cable connectors received many electrical impulses which caused the shut-down of the transmitters on an irregular basis."

Found the KCMO municipal regs. Looked through the likely sections and didn't see it. However- That doesn't mean that its not buried in some irrelevant section, or its covered by county or state law. Or the cop could've made it up. And I'm not going to go looking through every KCMO code for it. If the cops bring it up again, simply ask for the number. Surely that isn't being disharmonious. Isn't that why they write these things down?

However, cmradio, I did find something a little odd that you may consider for your blog. Not as good as the fishing pole, but stupid (and might I say very dangerous for wheelbarrows, tricycles, and handcarts). Not to pick on KCMO with this, I live near Minneapolis and I think you could find a lot of "good" material in Mpls' code.
Sec. 64-248. Pushing wheelbarrow or handcart on sidewalk.
No person shall trundle or cause to be trundled any wheelbarrow or handcart in or upon any sidewalk

Sec. 50-123. Placing bicycle, wheelbarrow or other vehicle on parks or boulevards.
No velocipede, bicycle, tricycle, wheelbarrow, handcart or other vehicle shall be placed by the owner or any other person in charge or control thereof, or be permitted by such person, upon sidewalks, curbstones, grass plots or planting space of any park, boulevard, parkway, avenue, street or park road.

The early 90's was a ton of fun. The past few years have been b-o-r-i-n-g.
Looks like finally 24 has reached it max. 24 needs to give up & go away and let 25 take over and show us how its really done.
