weird SSTV at 0142 with email address unidradio@gmail.comUNIDradio@gmail.com -
someone just had to do it
The problem with FM is the amount of power required for good reception. I did some tests a few years ago with an HP broadband generator and concluded that the bandwidth needed was just too wide for our little chunk of spectrum. For good fidelity, I needed close to 40KHz of bandwidth or so, and that would probably upset some folks. 2KW or so would probably give nice coverage coast to coast...and obviously opening up the receiver bandwidth to 40Khz drops sensitivity but increases fidelity (and adjacent interference).

1660 WWRU New Jersey says on web that it has moved to FM. But here I am listening to a Korean show with Kenny Rogers music on 1660 like nothing has happened.i would think if they moved to FM, they would still use the MW transmitter and "lease air time".
Hopefully conditions keep improving during this week and sun keeps peaceful.
Just happened across this... the 9955khz broadcast from Florida in English is being jammed by Cuba??? I believe this is from the Okeechobee USA station. Standard Christian material NOT propaganda... time 0215 UTCive actually run into quite a few AM broadcasts above 7.2Mhz being jammed/interfered with DSB or a similar modulation of what sounded like "white noise" and didnt really think anything of it, because between 7.2Mhz and 7.6Mhz, has utility and SWBC mixed together.
I like the AM mode best, SSB the least but why have I not heard NBFM being used in the 6900-6990 band... ?FM could work easily if the operator modifies or builds a modulator that is capable of a frequency response 20Hz-20Khz, its quite easy to do.
Now I'm not in anyway encouraging anyone to do anything illegal but still. I remember a number of years ago Amateur Radio Operators using that mode on the 75 meter band and it worked out great for the times they used it
Most modern radio gear does have NBFM detectors and even the older radios that don't can still hear the transmissions via 'slope detection'. Slope detection is nothing more than tuning a receiver in the AM mode slightly above or below the center carrier frequency.
Am I not thinking clearly because it is so early in the morning... most likely... <sigh> Never mind...
Same here with the movie audio and CW at 2120 UTC. S5 here. Off briefly at 2123 UTC, then both back at the same time at 2124 UTCive been listening to this while at work (remotely) and lately, 6925 is a wild jungle of strange sounds and strange signals
2135 UTC There were at least 3 separate CW ops at the same time....don't see the point of this...
but the entertainment value is certainly worth while 
Hey JCMaxwell....you take the pudding....I'm sticking with the Spam!ive had this and its really not bad at all, better than "potted meat product".
Livermush is a Southern United States food product composed of pig liver, head parts, and cornmeal. It is commonly spiced with pepper and sage. Though sometimes considered the same as liver pudding, livermush (or liver mush) is generally coarser in texture and commonly found in the western part of North Carolina. It normally has a different recipe from liver pudding, though the distinction is blurred.
It is commonly cooked by cutting a slice off of a premade loaf and frying it with grease in a skillet until golden brown, similar to the way Spam is prepared. At breakfast it is served alongside grits and eggs. For lunch it can be made into a sandwich with mayonnaise or mustard, either fried as above, or left cold. As livermush's popularity has risen, it has appeared as an ingredient in dishes such as omelettes and pizzas.
Shelby, North Carolina hosts an annual Livermush Exposition, which began in 1987 to celebrate the unique delicacy. In that year the Cleveland County Commissioners and the Shelby City Council passed resolutions proclaiming that "livermush is the most delicious, most economical and most versatile of meats." Other towns in North Carolina that have livermush festivals include Drexel and Marion
Elite - like you, I reside here in pukey New York State. When I have occasionally dabbled on the FM band, I ALWAYS stay below 88 MHz. I do that because the quirky way that the New York Anti-Radio Piracy law is written, the state has no jurisdiction below 88 MHz. Better to dog the overworked Feds than the NYS Troopers. I'm guessing that your neighbor is down there for similar reasons...correct.
