Robin Hood Radio 6930 USB 0234 UTC 7 FEB 2021
« on: February 07, 2021, 0234 UTC »
Good signal from Robin Hood Radio tonight.
Station and ID and into music.

Thanks for the shout-out.

     

Your extra 25% has made a big difference here. This is the best that I have heard you in a very long time.

Just to clarify my comment. The op had mentioned that he was able to increase his transmitter power by 25% and it made a difference tonight.

At 0243 extremely weak under increased snow static level, barely hear occasional bits of audio under the mud,

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

0239 Barely audible music with loud data bursts for the first several minutes, then Robin Hood talking but indistinct.  Suddenly popped in at a decent level with more talk including a quick ID before fading back down to barely audible music.

Started out barely audible, then fair, fading back to barely audible.  Can't count on the propagation tonight.

Robin Hood Radio 6930USB 7 FEB 2021

0419: Unknown song, sounded like it had a lot echo.  Signal just above the noise here in NE Indiana. SINPO 25342
0420: Robin Hood Radio ID followed by more speaking
0422: Sounds like some kind of reggae tune.  Signal came up a little bit
