10/11 meters / Re: OTHR on 11m?
« on: May 29, 2019, 1845 UTC »
Probably not as annoying on AM maybe thats why I never noticed it. It was outside the US 11m band. I know OTHRs are everywhere else on the HF bands. I just don't check 11m with an SDR often but it was open. 73's -Justin

10/11 meters / OTHR on 11m?
« on: May 26, 2019, 1715 UTC »
The band was open this AM and was monitoring 27.385 and above it saw the distinct cris cross of a 10kHz wide OTHR. Not very strong but present looked similar to what I see just below 40m a lot. I didn't get a screen shot but will try if I see it again. -Justin in SW FL

For many, myself included, the radio bug strikes at a young age and gets its claws in. The resulting GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) often gets so bad that the user becomes a HAM (Had Alot (of) Money)
Joking aside, my first radio was CB and i had a base. This led to just taking apart AM/FM radios & found I could get SW by tweaking them. Then after I got my license I mostly was a listener (back in those days of 900mHz cell phones I bought a BC-855xlt clipped the diode) Then in college (still were 49mhz cordless) we lived in apartments had no cable but got to know our neighbors quite well. They were our entertainment
I mostly listen but there is so much to do under the umbrella of radio, and even with a 10w radio on FT8 the other night i got into both NZ and Russia at the same time (on 30m) thats simply amazing... this lil brick radio being heard simultaneously in both hemispheres, thousands of miles away from me as well as each other!
Though my interests in radio shift with time, there is usually something fun. And cuz I'm old I can say little matched the excitement of analog phones in Orlando in the 90's (best was a guy saying he doesn't smoke crack...wink wink... cuz people can sometimes tap the phones" we were recording it too and almost died laughing. His crackhead paranoia was RIGHT :p

Heard in SW FL S7 caught ID of "Robin Hood Radio", great show, that old school dub/reggae sounds good (some reason maybe cuz its mastered for vinyl I tend to enjoy old music on the raidio a bit more....not sure if its the "sound,' or just effect of me being old, .or "old school" sounds cooler :p)
Enjoyed the show either way, Thanks! -Justin
