Re: June is Amateur Radio Contests month. - 4 months ago
Summer, the M.U.F. gets up there, and I'm sure you can DX on UHF, I used to talk to AJ Michaels when he was on an analog cell phone way back, and I could hear skip from other conversations fading in and out, so that was some kind of propagation. June first I saw a whole bunch of CW on 40 meters in the evening, I mean it was full, I was thinking it had to be a contest. Boomerby Radio Animal - General radio discussion

Re: On-line Inductor Calculator Site. - 4 months ago
I think it's great, it should help to save on math and guess work, and get you close to a the number of turns with confidence. Lots of radio plans lately will only have one way to characterize a coil, like the inductance value, or number of turns on a toroid, such as 12 turns on an Amidon T-50-2, but not tell what the inductance is, so you have to find the formula again and get your calculatoby Radio Animal - The Workshop

Re: Canadian Time Station CHU going bye-bye? That sucks... - 4 months ago
I saw someone post that they didn't care, who needs it in Canada when North America has WWV. Does it really cost that much money to keep a standard time signal running, all things considered? The frequency standard tech has to be improved a lot since decades ago, smaller, easier to keep in line, and how much power do the transmitters use?by Radio Animal - General radio discussion

Re: Unlicensed stations search on Radio Locator leads to, what? - 5 months ago
I don't know, maybe Alaska Broadcast is a consolidator, or could they be a syndicator that provides programming to the stations, and they're in the network?

Re: NAB Thinks It’s Time for AM Boosters? RW rips... - 5 months ago
I like the idea of on-frequency boosters for AM broadcast stations, and cool that Ernie from Panaxis showed how it could be done, even back then. I think the idea was tried as far back as the 1920s, after transmitters switched to quartz crystals that could be tuned tightly on frequency. They tried different things, like oscillators in ovens at exact temperatures for stability, and having an oby Radio Animal - General radio discussion
