Author	Topic: Reception report from GERMANY- WEAK Radio
WEAK Radio Sunspot Watcher Posts: 866 Registered: Jan 2009	posted March 08, 2009 20:34 Via e-mail: WEAK Radio received reception report from GERMANY for the 3-7-09 late broadcast last night. My first overseas reception report! Probably not too uncommon, but this floored me. "Date.7.3.2009 Time 0h04 .0h09 UTC QRG .6925kc USB Sinpo 21222 Details .dance Music and Id on infos" How common is it that we get out from the mainland? I'm sure it happens often for others. I know MAC makes it to France almost every broadcast! Admin

Funny part was the time I relayed Microdot Radio was from the side of a highway near the Illinois and Iowa border with one end of the dipole tied to the highway guardrail and the other end sloping about only eight feet up into the nearby trees. Bullfrog Radio and I ran several of our own shows on my Icom T-735 that day but our only German logging was for that Microdot Radio broadcast. Let's see... I remember seeing logs of WREC and I think NAPRS being heard in Germany in the 90s. I think Kracker gets out there and Commander Bunny. Anyway I'll let these guys chime in and answer. I'm kinda ripped to recall much right now. PMLOL! Anyway congrats for getting out to Germany, mannnnnn! I'll toke one up in your honor. Pffffffffffft... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... jah mon! ------------------ Captain Ganja "Man am I f00kin ripped!" Admin

Ragnar Sunspot Watcher Posts: 1512 Registered: Jul 2008	posted March 11, 2009 20:22 I found this on Dr. Tim's news letter today... rd (translated by Google from German) Good Conditions U.S. last week - at least for Marco Hommel. Even on Saturday he succeeded the reception of the U.S. pirate Weak. The station confirmed practically Marcos in return e-mail Report with two full detailed QSL cards! On Sunday Marco then proposed a further - res inexorably to time - here he fetched the signals of Radio and MAC WBNY BUNNY RAIO from the ether to his native antenna park. As you can see - long endure on the radio pays for itself (eventually) from! Admin

The Poet unregistered Posts: 385 Registered: Dec 98	posted March 11, 2009 22:07 The Crystal Ship was reported once or twice from Venezuela, once by Marcel in France (with an mp3 recording), and once from England by a board poster. So, that's only about three times in just under four years of usually-several-times-a-week broadcasting. I'd say overseas doesn't happen too often-- but we have been in a poor spot in the sunspot cycle all that time, too. ------------------ The Poet The Crystal Ship tcsshortwave@yahoo.com FIGHT for FREE RADIO!

Commander Bunny Sunspot Watcher Posts: 1116 Registered: Apr 2001	posted March 12, 2009 15:16 Because we use a form of "spread spectrum-subliminal" transmissions, we are in fact, logged, even by some monkeys who don't have a radio. Our messages have permeated the Verizon Fiber Optics system, so monkeys, thinking they were watching "Ernest Saves Christmas" on pay per view, were in fact being indoctrinated into the Rodent Revolution way of thinking. WBNY has been heard all over the world, and even on far distant planets! As we have received inquiries about why the "monkeys run things down there?", to which we can only shrug our Rabbit shoulders in dismay. The jealousy, exhibited, by monkeys, who attempt to be "pirates" against WBNY has been underwhelming. They, in their puny monkey minds, want to be like WBNY, yet, are limited by low IQ's, lip-drooling into electronic equipment(thus driving up the VSWR) and dragging knuckles while striving to reach a level of mediocrity that many of you monkeys find "heroic". So they stumble onto alleged "pirate blogs" bad mouthing, that which they can barely understand! WBNY has been logged everywhere, and given our in-depth subliminal messaging system, by everyone, at one time or another! In fact, while you are reading this message, the subliminal text, has already seeped into your weak monkey brain and you will find, within a few minutes, that you want to rub solder paste all over your head, while throwing your monkey head back, screaming, "Trip-out, Trip-out, oh,my God, Trip out"! Any monkey, not having this experience will be deemed to be of such a low IQ that they will immediately be made the Chairman of the RNC, thus displacing silly monkey Michael Steele! See, it all fits into the "BIG PLAN" as outlined in the Commander Bunny for President "White Paper"! And no it does not come with crayons, so that leaves you FRN monkeys out! In summary, WBNY uses an advanced technology of spread spectrum that is enhanced by subliminal messaging, that has covered the globe and far distant planets! Stop drooling on your keyboard, check your tire pressure and don't touch yourself! Commander Bunny Admin
