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 noticed the band went long as our signal is S7 in parts Europe. I also noticed the fast change in the band which could be the flare also. We will stay on for a while.
Thank you again for tuning into MRI.
If I do not have them I will download it. Great stuff. Let me know of any other songs you like also.

At one point a fuse blew lol. I replaced it and the TX worked fine. I turned up the modulation loudness even more.
Thanks for tuning in and your posts, song logs, fine audio comments and emails. I am only running 150 watts of AM carrier.

« on: August 20, 2022, 0343 UTC »Started listening to RMI after Ballsmacker shut down at 0245 UTC
RMI had usual potent signal (S9+20 55545) and 10 kHz of audio, but at 0255 signal made a dramatic fade to near zero. When signal came back it was much weaker than before and at 0321 UTC signal is averaging S5-S6 with a 34433. Either the band went long or a possible flare with a K Index of 6 that was expected, just hit. The upper half of the audio above 5 kHz is getting lost in the noise.

I have used LMR cable in the past. The newer cheaper brand cables are working just as good.

I listen to XM radio on a very small portable with a built in FM part 15 transmitter to play on the car FM radio. I had it for about 10 years now. It has a lifetime free subscription. The quality of the audio is OK for the car but not as good as a 128K internet radio stream. I listen to comercial free XM music stations. I can’t stand listening to comercial FM radio anymore.

That is good for FM radio keeping it alive. I have a hi end FM tuner with a rooftop antenna that I occasionally turn on looking for interesting music. Unfortunately most of the good music is lacking. The best music I find is from small streaming stations. I then downloaded the good stuff for my station.

0245 Hello Redhat. Nice to hear you tonight. You are coming in with a nice signal with just a few static crashes in
SAM mode on the R-390A. Your CB mic is getting the job done.
