its great to hear you on the air again 
are you taking requests ?
have a great weekend DW 
ahh, Skin and Bones by Cage the Elephant - what an awesome song.
haha, i knew you would like those two tunes RH 
0058Z-0059Z - while you were speaking, i thought i heard another voice under you that said "oh my god what language", sounded like a female.
is there someone else on the frequency also ?
0125Z - yes there is someone there talking and saying "dickweed pe*is pump" or something to that effect while you are talking.
amazing how other people can be disrespectful like this in such a manner like this.
i wouldnt worry about it though, its someone who is obviously jealous.
0138Z - hahahaha, i love how you turn this whole thing around with this heckler on the frequency into a comedy show hahahaha - damn i love it !!!!!

thanks for tuning in ! 
this is really just another stability test today at 50W, mix of 80's music, transmit audio frequency response is 20Hz to 10Khz with 75uS pre-emphasis.
the new and improved Hack RF board works great as well as the latest version of SDR Angel.
also thanks to my very good friend here in the forums who designed and constructed a LPF for the Hack RF (excellent build quality) to significantly reduce the 2nd harmonic generated from it, now there is a LPF on the input and output of the 1st stage driver amplifier running at 50W (more efficient), eventually i will get around to calibrating and configuring the 2nd stage amplifier, the Henry 3K-A to operate at 500W and then perform another stability daytime test.
have a great friday and great weekend ! 
last song of the day (Echoes) timed to end right at 2200UTC - thanks for listening

thanks for tuning in.
today is just a test for the stability of the 1st stage RF amplifier module which i repaired after i accidentally damaged it the other day with the magic smoke and also testing a new improved design Hack RF PCB from September of 2020.
today is 30W.
have a great week. 
(broadcasts always begin and end with the Matrix theme song)

thanks for enjoying the tunes as much as i did while very busy at work today.
seeing that a decent amount of hobbyists enjoy it, ill broadcast more often during the week playing tunes from from my 7K collection of MP4 files (and growing).
have a great weekend and happy holidays !

interesting material to listen to while working this morning, thanks !
sounds like Dennis Quaid narrating, to me. 😄
interesting, now i know where some of the sound effects and the speaking about the moon at the end of the album "the dark side of the moon" from pink floyd came from.
1536z - part a instrumental song used on the movie The Book of Eli.
i love apocalyptic movies, The Road and The Book of Eli are both excellent movies and remind me of my favorite video game Fallout: New Vegas.

A ID will be good 

sorry about that, im a bit busy with work, playing some tunes while i am working and listening to them too.
broadcasting at 20W AM, 20Hz to 5Khz audio.
if anyone would like me to expand the audio bandwidth from 5Khz to 10khz for better fidelity, let me know.
i currently have it set to 5Khz because im at low power.

thanks everyone, i appreciate the reports and the help (and Skipmuck's recording, i can hear the ever so slight 120Hz "hum" due to a failing high voltage oil capacitor in my Henry 3K-A amplifier, its barely noticeable at this time but eventually its going to completely fail).
tonight's broadcast was a "burn test" at 100 watts, thats "baby'ing" the Henry for what it can deliver in AM output 😄.
this broadcast station comprises of a 'Great Scott Gadgets' "Hack RF One", control software "SDR Angel", a TX pre-amp module with a band-selectable LPF removed from a Yaesu FT-757GX2 (10W out) and that drives a Henry 3K-A (100W out) with a half-wave horizontal dipole 30 feet above average terrain in the clear open, broadcasting with audio response 20hz to 10Khz (20Khz total AM bandwidth).
it took me some time to get everything tuned, aligned and back in proper working order after not being on the air for nearly a year (about ten months), everything was out of whack and mis-aligned 😜.
I'm looking forward to relaying someone's Halloween's broadcast this Saturday.
have a great week ahead and be safe.
