Nice signal on peaks here at 0031 UTC. About S8. Takes some fades and there is some nearby data that is a little annoying. Good show though!

TERMS OF USE
The radio related channels should be kept free of obscene material. That includes posts, images and other content. The non-radio related channels have looser rules but still we do not want gratuitously obscene content there either. Use good judgement, and imagine your mom or kids lurking in the channels.
Targeted, unearned harassment of users, both in chat and also over the air, may result in temporary or permanent bans. I get that pirate radio often has long running, light hearted feuds, inside jokes, and so forth. We know what harassment is though and will take action.
Racist material and material targeting specific groups of people for derision (sexual orientation, disabilities, etc) will also BE REMOVED and you may likewise face a temporary or permanent ban.
Accounts that remain idle for long periods of time or never post may be kicked from the server. Duplicate usernames (beerus1, beerus2) may also be removed from the channel. Please talk to a moderator if you have a legitimate need for duplicate accounts.
Not going to write a tome. I'll add to this more if I have to use. Use yer brain.

Hey guys. As you know, our AWESOME and action-packed chat is now on Discord. In coming days I will post information that may be helpful to you. But generally getting on Discord is really easy!
You MUST join with a Discord account that has a verified email address and you will be required to post a message in the welcome channel explaining your interest in radio. A moderator will subsequently approve access to the rest of the server.
You can use Discord in a browser, or download the desktop app. There are also mobile apps for iPhone and Android, and they were awesome. I prefer the desktop app on my PC because I think it offers a slightly richer experience. But the browser site is almost exactly the same. I also use the iPhone app, since that's the phone I have. The official Discord download site is here:
https://discord.com/download
Use this invitation to join the chat: https://discord.gg/hfunderground
Use it only once to sign up. After that, just go directly to https://discord.com/

I do like the ammo can idea. If you get a choice surplus military can the gasketing is unbeatable. I've bought cans from this place: https://ammocanman.com/

The RF Workbench / Chinese electronics products tested
« on: April 12, 2021, 1244 UTC »
This is a really interesting site authored by a Dutch electronics engineer. In it he extensively tests, you guessed it: Chinese electronics products. I posted this here in the RF workbench forum because a lot of his reviews are focused on inexpensive equipment you may find on an RF workbench: scopes, function generators, multimeters, power supplies and so on, as well as parts like caps and resistors.
The reviews are extremely detailed and and most conclude with a go/no-go opinion. Check out the site here:

You have to give him credit for having the cajones to say "when I committed adultery the women were old enough and we had a good time" lol.
This is good news for humanity but not great news for the shortwave stations that profited from his criminal cult *waves towards Monticello*
