HF Mystery Signals / Standalone Carrier, 6970; 2/1/17, 22:40 UTC

« on: February 01, 2017, 2248 UTC »

I noticed this carrier when scanning through the band looking for pirates. Not much I can identify, it just seems like an S9+ carrier, perceivable in both Nashville and the WebSDR's.

EDIT: As of 2250 UTC, it's gone. Must have been either someone testing or another pirate related activity.

General Radio Discussion / Forum Notifications on Phone

« on: January 21, 2017, 1436 UTC »

I was wondering if anybody knew how to get a notification on your Android phone whenever a post is made on a board(Like the Shortwave Pirate Board.) I've been busy lately and I've been missing out on pirate radio stations because by the time you know about them, they're gone. I've also looked through the tapatalk app and found no settings where I could get push notifications for a new post. Any solutions would be appreciated.

What even is this? If anything this belongs in Clandestine, and I wouldn't recommend it there.

Equipment / Re: Advice on choosing an antenna that won't make my transmitter go boom

« on: October 10, 2016, 2055 UTC »

Just dug up an old part, it's expensive, but would it do the job? It's for 40 meters, and has an impedance made for up to 200 watts.

General Radio Discussion / Pirate TV Broadcasts in Pirate Band

« on: October 04, 2016, 0252 UTC »

I was doing some research on SSTV and thought the transfer rate was slightly too slow for an idea I had. I was wondering if it is possible to transmit modified Television over shortwave pirate bands. I realize 6 Mhz would be extremely too wide for shortwave, but I thought there might be a way to transmit a highly compressed form of image transfer over about 20 Khz with no audio and have it perform at a framerate of 15-30FPS. Any thoughts?
