SINPO 33222 at 1910 UTC.

827
SINPO 23222 at the moment.

828
Reception conditions are not so good. The usual QRM 4 KHz lower than the carrier and intermittent blasts of QRM about 2 KHz above.

ID at 1906 UTC.

829
Not hearing this.

830
2120 UTC SINPO 22222. QRM on LSB.

831
Tuned in at 2119 UTC. SINPO 23322.

832
2033 UTC  Good signal at the moment. SINPO 44444. The usual 1930s music. I feel like I am in 1933 Berlin.
2038 UTC  ID
2049 UTC  "This is Charleston Radio International. We broadcast on five thousand, one hundred and forty kilocycles." (Of course, not "kilohertz", that would be too modern.) Announcer has a slight German-speaker's accent.

Filling in the blanks.

Radio _Dummyload_ is one of the main stations without a transmitter, and also without a(n) _antenna_.

quod erat demonstrandum  :D

Sounds like the North American Service of Charleston Radio International - music from the 1930s and 1940s.

SINPO 33231 in Ontario. My SINPO code needs a bit of explanation. Their carrier is very undermodulated. For such a strong signal, I should not be straining to hear anything like I am here.

I'm generally not listening this early in the morning.

Very weak on Twente and Belgian SDRs. Occasionally fades up enough to hear dance music but that happens only 5% of the time.

0712 UTC - Clearly heard bits of a Meatloaf song.
0742 UTC - "Life In The Fast Lane"

i would tend to believe using highly shielded coax as feedline to the dipole is akin to bringing the TX right at the center fed part of the dipole.

What the TX sees looking into its end of the coax is based upon four things: 1) the coax's characteristic impedance, 2) the loss of the coax, 3) the length (in wavelengths) of the coax 4) the load at the other end of the coax.

You want the TX to see the antenna's inherent impedance? Make the coax length a whole multiple of a half wavelength.

Shielding doesn't have anything to do with it unless it's part of the active part of the coax and affects the characteristic impedance. (There are double-shielded coaxes for low-leakage applications, as an example of coax with shielding that does not affect characteristic impedance.)

Though their website is interesting:

I will note that their description of themselves says nothing about "The Amateur Radio Service": https://recnet.com/about

Riiiiight.

It might be gonve, or it slid down to 6935 briefly and then off. Not sure.  :D :-\

Overmodulated rock music. SINPO 22221 into an SDR in Virginia.

2355 - caught bits of what I think is George Thorogood and The Destroyers, "I Drink Alone".
0010 - music stopped mid-song then some sort of computerized announcement and then TX off.
0013 - back on in USB and very strong now.
0014 - George Thorogood and The Destroyers, "I Drink Alone"
0041 - SSTV
