Thanks for the nice comments Osborne, I'm glad you enjoyed the story. As more people become aware of the article, more information has been coming forward by those close to Dave during those years. This is a great thing and it means the story can become a living document of events with updates added as fuzzy memories are jogged back into place, recordings discovered, etc.

Thanks Kilo and Dave,

General Radio Discussion / The 1620 WJDI Story
« on: February 04, 2014, 0241 UTC »
I connected with Dave Schneider a year ago after posting some old WJDI audio clips on my blog. After exchanging some emails, we thought it would be nice to properly document the history of WJDI with facts provided by the person behind the operation, Dave Schneider. This story documents Dave's interest in DXing at an early age and how this interest evolved into the first WJDI in 1970 using only 7-1/2 watts. WJDI would later be recognized as running one of the most powerful hand-crafted pirate transmitters on the AM dial on 1620 kHz during the late 1980s through the mid 1990s. If anyone has any memories of hearing WJDI then I would encourage you to leave a comment at the bottom of the page this story appears on so Dave will see it:

Longwave Loggings / 177 kHz Deutschlandradio Kultur good @ 0231z 2/1/2014

It's rare for me to catch any decent audio from 177, but it's coming in well tonight and probably the best I've ever heard it. Playing classical music at the moment. Oddly, the other LW broadcast channels are relatively dead here.

X-FM reaching Italy right now at 0315z via Perseus remote SDR located in Botticino, Italy. S4 signal and music recognizable. Antenna is listed as a 200 meter beverage directed towards Central America. Nice going Redhat!

Fired up the SDR to listen to X-FM and discovered one of my BOGs must be disconnected out back at the feedpoint. Too much cold, snow and darkness to fix right now, so X-FM only S5-S6 here tonight on the single BOG. Would surely be a better signal report if I were combining the two wires. Nice to hear Redhat and X-FM again!
