2356 very faintly audible here. Or it was, since I'm posting this a few minutes later and it's reported off now.
Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
I do need more antennas... not sure I'll have an easy time convincing my wife of that.
I have decided to do another one that follows KR1ST's dimensions in order to have fuller coverage of the HF spectrum between the two of them, and also to have one that's more portable that the current one, which at 4'9" in diameter is just too big to fit into my cars, neither of which are a pickup truck or full size van. (A 10' loop has a diameter of about 3'2", much easier to fit in the back of a car.) I wasn't able to take this loop with us on vacation last month, which was a real shame because it was pin-drop quiet as far as RF noise was concerned. However, I will be going back to that area in three weeks and thought I might try to hear the Saturday night pirate show from out there.

2358 at the noise floor, ute signal QRM, but stronger than many of the other post-bunker shows.
0008 The Cure "Let's Go To Bed" trying to rise above. Rise above, damn it!
0016 music is officially above the noise floor! ... Just. Keep playing comrades, it will be S9 in an hour at this rate!
0019 DJ DW with RFW ID, song ID's, banter, shoutouts
0022 new song
0050 still listening, DJ DW bantering.
0057 "Whatever" heard between Beatles song and another song
Thanks for the show comrades!
If you want any more angry chick songs, look up Tribe 8. Just if you're looking.

Shortwave Broadcast / PBS Xizang and PBS Xinjiang

Good copies, both new catches for me. I heard TONS of Chinese stations this morning 1220-1245 which is AM greyline here. Several different CNR's and CRI's, along with some from Japan and Taiwan, and even KBS (but strangely nothing from North Korea). But these two were the coolest because how often do you hear Tibetan or Mongolian?

Hearing REE on 17855 in the western USA. Surprisingly it's coming in best on the 750's telescoping antenna. S9+20 with light fading and interference.

0051 weak music, beat more apparent than melody. Hope it gains power soon. Thanks for the show!
0104 OM with ID
0106 OM again. Signal very weak here, it's usually much stronger than this

The RF Workbench / Re: My homebrewed magnetic loop antenna
« on: September 17, 2016, 1840 UTC »Back in the late 80's I had a poor man's NSA setup, an Icom R70 and an infotec M600 with shielded crt fed by a cliff dweller antenna resting upon the curtain rod in the bedroom or a sloper out about 70ft or so from the same window. All of wich provided the means for a selectable horizontal and vertical polarisation rx setup. For example, when Rabat Morocco fsk signal was coming in around 19MHz (as I recall), I would switch between the two antennas and usually see a difference, however slight, between horizontal and vertical polarity of rx antennas. At fade in/out the difference was amazing, often one polarity would be perfectly readable and the other no sig at all. It's nice to have both.
I do need more antennas... not sure I'll have an easy time convincing my wife of that.
I have decided to do another one that follows KR1ST's dimensions in order to have fuller coverage of the HF spectrum between the two of them, and also to have one that's more portable that the current one, which at 4'9" in diameter is just too big to fit into my cars, neither of which are a pickup truck or full size van. (A 10' loop has a diameter of about 3'2", much easier to fit in the back of a car.) I wasn't able to take this loop with us on vacation last month, which was a real shame because it was pin-drop quiet as far as RF noise was concerned. However, I will be going back to that area in three weeks and thought I might try to hear the Saturday night pirate show from out there.

I was getting this in a rough copy, too hard to understand them even though it was EE, but a first time catch for me so I'll take it.
