General Radio Discussion / Re: A humble suggestion for ops that use synthesized voices for IDs
« on: August 24, 2016, 0100 UTC »
Wack the carbon mic on the desk.

What really gets me with the voice synthesizers is the DX stations use it to call CQ and then when they come back after you call them they sound totally different. I always think it is someone else.

The antenna at Jupiter, Fl. is all gone. Not sure when but it has been gone for some time now.
I questioned the decommissioning as I am sure lots of others did. Not smart. I just don't trust GPS even though I use it. Too many vulnerabilities. I think I still have a LORAN receiver. Need to go check the stash.

Do they mean like I got ready for Comet Kohoutek in 1973? What a bust. And not in the Pam Anderson sense of the word.

Not as strong as usual but I can hear Mr. Weed above the noise.
Thanks for the show.

I hear something right at the noise also. Don't think it is European though. Nothing on the Twente SDR online. Seems to be getting stronger, YL singing maybe.
Update 0140: Signal improved just a bit and they are speaking Spanish. Since I don't, I don't know what they are saying but it is a man and woman talking.

The bloom was several months ago and has now turned into guacamole. With a tequila chaser.

MW Loggings / Re: DXing Baseball tonight 6 August 2016
« on: August 06, 2016, 0112 UTC »
Copying WFAN and WFED here in SE Fla. Good signal strength on WFAN but WFED is readable just above the noise. 710 is covered up with Spanish and 1100 is just noise. Having a clear channel certainly helps.
WFAN seems to be fading just a bit as we get out of gray line.
I haven't been doing much MW but figured I would check and was surprised at the strong signal on the NY station.

SIO 343 Above the noise and readable.
Now an air raid siren.

Pretty good signal here in SE Fla. also. About 100 mi N of Miami.

Huh? / Sun Diving Comet
« on: August 04, 2016, 0118 UTC »
Not radio but cool. Don't know how long this will be there, but there is a cool video near real time of a sun diving comet approaching the sun.

Scroll down to Coronal Mass Ejections and play the video. The last frame is 23:54

Just improved to barely above the noise. Been checking for about 15 minutes. Hearing the laughter. Hopefully the band will continue to improve.

QSLs Received / Re: XFM QSL Card !!!!
« on: July 30, 2016, 0043 UTC »
Congratulations. I should send you a card for an internet contact.  ;D

I really LOVE that antenna. I swear some of the European hams use antennas like that on 40 M.  Plus "legal" ??? limit power.

Was able to just hear them right at the noise for a few minutes then the band shifted. All gone now.
