Clear Northwoods Radio ID at 0005 UTC after a death metal style tune and then off. S5-ish signal.

General Radio Discussion / Re: plasmas and lcd tv's- an swl'ers nightmare.

I have a Panasonic plasma in the house and it is indeed an atrocious RFI generator but I have learned to deal with it. If there's any good news, plasma screen technology generally seems to be losing popularity to LCD/LED screens. That, along with the inherent serviceability and repair issues with modern screens and rapidly evolving gotta-have-it features, probably means most of these plasma screens will be in the dump in a couple of more years. I hope mine will be.

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".
