Huh? / Re: Sunglasses

I always wear mine at night in the grocery store when I go buy beer.

In all actuality, the drug cartels of Mexico have been known to use ham radio equipment to make deliveries and such shennanigans.  It wouldn't be such a far-fetched idea to think that some of that could be spreading north of the border.  I would not be surprised...   8)

Equipment / Re: Timewave ANC-4 Noise Cancelling Antenna
« on: April 08, 2014, 1918 UTC »
So just to follow up on my post, I would like to say that after a couple weeks with the ANC-4 connected to my ICOM IC-R75 the results have been very good.  I would say that the most important thing about using one of these, is that the noise sensing antenna should be constructed well and placed in the right spot.  It took me a few days of moving it around and testing different locations, but the dipole I made seems to have found a pretty good location.  The key to finding the right home for it is leaving the main antenna unconnected to the ANC-4 and using only the noise sensing antenna while searching for noise.  I actually had someone on a walkie talkie sitting in the shack with their eyes on the S-meter to let me know when I was getting "warmer" as I walked around with the noise antenna.  So, all in all, I am really happy with the purchase and I can say that I really do pull out the weak stations from the noise quite easily now.  Good talk.   ;D

Dude, this just made my weekend! Sounds great here! S-4 and almost no noise. I don't recognize the music too much but thank you for the broadcast anyways!

What freq?

217
Just got home from work and tuned in at 2225utc.  Very low noise so the sound is really good.  I'm really stoked to come home to this!

I sat in a cemetery in Randsburg, CA with my Satellit 750 for a few hours. If you have never heard of Randsburg, it's a ghost town in the middle of the desert. Very good signals coming through there!

Really clear here in Ventura, CA!  Good stuff, ha!

Equipment / Timewave ANC-4 Noise Cancelling Antenna
« on: April 02, 2014, 1708 UTC »
SO I just bought one of these ANC-4 doo-hickeys from HRO with hopes that it would cure my noise issues.  It seems to be creating more frustration than helping me.  Has anyone had experience with one of these?  I could sure use some assistance... Thanks!

I've been through this freq millions of times and now there's a military weather report here? Could it be a recording? Very strange.

General Radio Discussion / Propagation question
« on: April 01, 2014, 1343 UTC »
Since joining this forum a few weeks ago, I have begun chasing pirate broadcasts like a crazy person will many hours being spent in front of my receiver.  I have caught a couple, but for the most part I don't hear that much. This brings up a question in my mind about propagation.  If it's daylight on the east coast in the morning, will a signal reach the west coast if it's dark there?  ???
