I also have the G90, but the 5100 and 6100 seem to be pretty good rigs, too. And, yes, hard to get excited about the IC-705 when these Xiegus are so much cheaper and have plenty of features.by ku4a - The Workshop
Well, personally I would prefer the rock, but yeah, these pirates are generally the same old same old same old.by ku4a - Free Radio Logs

Peaking 20 dB over S9 in central Kentucky. I had to pull away at 2256. I see even HFU did not get an ID. (Gay-KY).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
Heard the letters "WOOGE" sent in CW with a fairly good signal. For the rest of the time, seemed to hear little snippets of music for a few seconds at a time. Maybe it was continuous, and just fading badly. I stuck with it for 10 minutes then moved on. (Gay-KY).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
Every once in awhile a station engineer will fire up his link just to see who happens to hear it. Shortwave listeners start coming out of the woodwork.by ku4a - The Workshop
UNID, 6975 AM, 9-11-21, 2313 UTC. Tuned into this huge signal and heard one tune. Shazam couldn't identify it. Sounded kind of like a garage band. Then off. Big signal in central Kentucky (Gay-KY).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
Yours truly hadn't yet realized that Radio Genix is essentially 24/7 on that frequency. I'll shup up now :-).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
True enough about the STLs (studio-transmitter links) but keep in mind that they are still authorized. Some stations keep them around as "back ups" in case the better equipment fails.by ku4a - The Workshop
Continuous stream of "light rock" (Spanish Eyes, Peggy Sue, My Girl). SSTV too weak to copy.by ku4a - Free Radio Logs

New World Radio, 6925 USB, 7-18-21, 2200-2219 UTC. Sinatra-esque music (one artist Paul Anka) and an electronic instrumental of "Strangers In The Night". Could hear an OM DJ but no copy. ID by SSTV. Poor in central Kentucky (Gay-KY).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
Probably because April 18th is already WORLD Amateur Radio Day. Not sure why that isn't good enough for the ARRL.by ku4a - General radio discussion
WEZL (about 90% sure), 6925 USB, 6/12/21, 1723-1733 UTC. Good signal at times in central KY, but deep fades often took it completely out. OM DJ, pretty sure IDed as WEZL, but HFU has nothing on it. Song "Is It Me Or You" by Warren Haynes and Loudon Wainwright with "Dead Skunk". Off unceremoniously about 1733Z (Gay-KY).by ku4a - Free Radio Logs
Like, Dood, that's pretty amazing. Not too long ago, radios that cheap were just sh*t. One question, does it have the DSP chip in it? How selective is it on AM BC?by ku4a - The Workshop
840 WHAS's Facebook page says they will go off the air at 11 PM EDT tonight (0300 UTC 15 April) for "several hours" of maintenance. A great chance to DX the frequency, especially for people like me who are only 80 miles from their transmitter.by ku4a - Medium Wave Logs
