The RF Workbench / Re: Bicycle Mounted Piracy...

It's a lot of trouble to go through if you are simply trying to minimize the risk of being caught. A more practical compromise is to pedal off to a park, toss a wire over a tree branch, and enjoy a picnic while your show plays. Then pack it back up and pedal home.

General Radio Discussion / Trying to Outrun the Cardinals’ Long Reach

« on: October 31, 2013, 1355 UTC »

A great, rare article about mediumwave and DXing in a mainstream news article. Worth the read, and the comments are quite good too.

ST. LOUIS — About 7 p.m. Central on Wednesday, a voice will declare on a radio wave transmitted at 1120 kilohertz, “This is KMOX, the voice of St. Louis,” and millions of homes from Denver to Alabama and Louisiana to North Dakota will be able to hear Game 6 of the World Series come to life on an AM radio.

Also copying here in the Boston burbs. Didn't start strong but improved dramatically. Various radio broadcast audio talk bits and jingles. Propagation brought it up or the op cranked the power/audio around 0031 UTC (10/29). There might be various Windows PC chimes mixed -- makes me think op is messing with the audio.

Update: Very clear RTE 2FM (Ireland) ID at 0034 UTC. S9+10 at this time.

Note to op: right click sound/speaker icon in lower right hand task bar. Select "Sounds". In Sound Scheme drop-down select "No Sounds".

Also S9 here. Saw it pop up on the SDR waterfall and listened the whole way through. No ID.

Solid S9 signal with a long ambient piece (very cool) continuing to 2016 UTC and then an ID with a reverb effect and perhaps the phrase "someone in Detroit"?. Off, but then back again at 2018 UTC.

Dipping in and out of my relatively high noise floor tonight; probably about an S7 with equivalent noise.

Huge S9+20 signal here at 2111 UTC. Live show with a time check by Doctor Who and mentioned he'd be playing a lot of 45's. Then into Ringo Starr's "Weight of the World".

Huge +30 signal here with Standell's "Dirty Water" and then into U2 "With or Without You" at 0009 UTC (10/19). Probable PRB but we'll wait for the ID...

Off at 0108 and a listener chimed in with a less than flattering comment. New Jersey Pirate Radio came back on at 0111 UTC with more commentary and updates on the NJ election.

ID as "New Jersey Pirate Radio" at 0101 UTC with talk about the election in NJ and Corey Booker. About S7. This program is live it seems with time checks that match up.
