General Radio Discussion / Re: JVC & Kenwood Merger

« on: May 15, 2008, 2356 UTC »

Kenwood's amateur business has been in decline for a long time, anyways. The last HF model they introduced was in 2003, which was the TS-480. I own one of these, and it is absolutely fantastic. But not a single model HF model has followed on since then. I hope they stay in the amateur market, but things look... not so good.

Very good S9+20 signal at 0049 UTC in Massachusetts. Yes, modulation sounds a little low, but still very readable.

WHYP is back at 2154 UTC (4/5/08) on 6925 AM. Extremely massive S9+20 signal. Played INXS "Listen Like Thieves" and then ID by Brownyard. Then into Uncle Schleckstein. Good to log WHYP after a long time.

Very odd activity on 6925 USB at 2143 UTC. Possibly Brother Stair clips, but not the usual numbers parody format. S9+10. Mostly repetitive clips of "666" and "we read".

Fairly weak here, about S3 with peaks to S5 at 1549 UTC. I have a pretty high noise level this morning. Radio Azteca announcer congradulating Pirate Radio Boston on 1 year anniversary. Old show I guess.

Solid MAC ID at 2043 UTC after Cyndi Lauper. Signal was S9+30 but rather abruptly dived down into the noise, and now almost inaudible at 2045 UTC. Propagation, or TX problems?
