Took a quick listen this morning (Aug 22, 2013 @ 1217Z) and no sign of them on 13750. Do have CRI very weak on 13755.

Very weak. Can hear the carrier when in USB, but can't make out any audio.

Used to listen to them up until the last cuts, now have hard time picking them up.  I better try harder for the next few months...

Funny... was just tuning around on 31m and stopped on 9465 as there's a weak station. Then came here to do stuff, found this thread, responded, then looked up where VoR is on now: 9465 in English! Audio is very weak and unintelligible.

0009Z: Found them in English on 9665, however some sort of QRM causing some problems.

I am starting to get the itch to spend some money on radio stuff. I'll probably just get a Wellbrook. Maybe a Wellbrook & a perseus.

I have a Perseus and its hooked up to a Wellbrook ALA-1530S+. Used to use a 102' G5RV @ 25'. Around 19m and higher frequencies, the 1530S+ is ok. Lower you go, the better it is. Love it on LW & MW. Have a local pest on 1440 that overloads the Perseus, so when on LW & MW, need to toss in 10 db of att.

Haven't done much with it this summer as spending time in the porch, but once the weather gets too cool to be out there, that thing is the best. Get a big hard drive or two. The I/Q files add up fast.

General Radio Discussion / Re: [Swlfest] Take a listen and celebrate International Radio Day

« on: August 21, 2013, 0140 UTC »

Starts off with Int'l Radio Day and half way through switches to streaming?  

What's next, International TV Day and highlight YouTube and LiveLeak?

Additionally, when one is listening to a stream, they are watching you. All sorts of theys.

Radio is for a free people!

Now its time to continue my listening on RADIO-
Started off this morning with R Australia & Voice of Korea. During the day, local FM'ers (can't get anything else in my office tower), on the way home, listened to Voice of Greece, and now into the evening continuing with VoG as well tuning around MW.

And even fixed a radio (not a big deal, replaced the C-sized battery holders.) But at least now it can run on batteries (8xC) again.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Firedrake 13795 Aug 19,2013 1203Z

« on: August 20, 2013, 2321 UTC »

13820 used to be a popular one... until April.

Listened to 13795 this morning from 1205Z to 1215Z. Could've sworn it was the Firedrake, but then at 1215Z, I noticed OM & YL talking then into some calm Asian music (certainly not Firedrake). I was driving and not really paying attention until I heard the couple talking, so unsure if it was Firedrake from 1205-1215Z, or if it was just those two playing music.

Shortwave Broadcast / Firedrake 13795 Aug 19,2013 1203Z

« on: August 19, 2013, 1210 UTC »

First one I've heard since April and on a frequency I haven't heard it on before.

Its on 13795 and decently strong at about S7 (SINPO 33433). There's a station under it that it is effectively jamming. No others found 11000-17000 kHz.

Hearing CNR1 on 13820, 13860, two old Firedrake freqs.

That kind of neat to see the various fading holes. Would like to see this go much wider and last for a very long period of time to see how propagation affects the signal.
