Well, this is a cool article that Boomer FWR to me! And, using an O'scope to test an LPB-30 transmitter.by ThaDood - The Workshop
Last year, after JTA swearing to me to try this, I've decides to make another W.O.G., (Windom On GND.). The feed point is a W2DU 4:1 Current Balun, one W.O.G. 60ft leg runs down hill, into the valley floor, and away from the power lines, and the other 123ft leg is hugging the hill point, then head down hill. I also have a GND tap on the Balun at the outer SO-239. Then, about a 50ft run on leftoveby ThaDood - The Workshop
While Boomer was at it, he FWR me this as well: Wouldn't work well mobile, or portably, but this idea is kind of what CATV had done for a couple of decades now.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Boomer found these. Anyone ever had experience with these TX's? The AM units could be used for Part 15 Carrier-Current, but couldn't really use the FM's for anything permissibly here.by ThaDood - The Workshop

Boomer caught it, Hobby Broadcasting Radio #4, HB#4, off his Kiwi-SDR. There, y'all can listen to it, before I do.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
While I was on SWL'ing, came across this: OK... We all knew that this was coming.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Huh... Been a while since I've seen any surveys on radio gear. Just some heads-up that you have to scroll down to about mid-page for the survey choices and those DOT's to fill in.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Got these, thanks to Boomer! I don't think that this was posted before here, but it is now. This next link may have been talked about, but it is a neat read.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Well, I can't go, (Maybe the next decade.), but here's INFO on that.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Still, fun reads, for sure. For AM: For FM:by ThaDood - The Workshop
Boomer FWR me the link to this company. Some neat reading here indeed. Question is, will they be able to run with any of these ideas?by ThaDood - The Workshop
I think that these were covered before, but they are intriguing. Hmmmmmmmmm... I wonder how were they'd work for the 160M band?by ThaDood - The Workshop
An article, in Radio World, But, more from the dude, Bill De Felice, from Hobby Broadcaster.net: Not, to be confused with Andrew Yoder's Hobby Broadcasting.com .by ThaDood - General radio discussion
I´ve 1st seen this from SWL´ing, but a friend of mine FWR the direct link.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Boomer FWR me this: A 1978 article on 49MHz Part 15 band. And then, this VID: WOW!!!! Does all this bring back memories of 49MHz stories of, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, and baby monitors. Certainly, made it worth having a scanner, with a good VHF Low antenna, in the 1980´s. (Hi-hi...) Still, this band could be great to use, now. Like this dude did: Years ago, I´ve audio modifiby ThaDood - The Workshop
Uh-huh... Tis that time for this one: Lack of foliage helps out on 2M, on up, to get out. And, maybe 6M F2 this year. Then, the following week: Now, the question is whether those Southern T-storms will settle down by then, and not rip-up the lower HF bands with crashes at night. And then, AM Rally:by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Oh, COOL!!!! THANKS, and good to know. There´s been requests for these, and as I finally get time to MP3-´em, from cassettes and MD´s, I hope to upload more. As far as I´m concern, anyone can use these. (Hopefully, for good reasons. Hi-hi...) Thanks, for the info.by ThaDood - Announcements
Looks like the AM Rally is earlier this year, just after GHD: Hopefully, 20M, on up, will be rockin´ this year. Question is, can they ever get anyone to agree on a 2M AM FREQ? I haven´t heard anything about W1AW doing the event, yet. And, anyone got word on that Heavy Metal AM Rally. Those are fun, if you can catch when they are.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Wow!!! 27MHz CB was hoping, especially CH38LSB, from midnight to 2:30AM, (0500UTC - 0730UTC, 12/30/2022), with a direct pipeline to Texas. On 10M??? Just a beacon, or two, but no operating stations. All, on 11M. So, was 6M open last night?by ThaDood - General radio discussion
. Well, after requests for this one, I´ve put it up there, the one from September 1992. I just can´t believe that´s over 30 years ago, now. Yeeeeeeeeeeesh....by ThaDood - General radio discussion
I say, let HAM´s do it. Then, we can get credit for ultra rare DX. (Hi-hi...) At least, this helps them to focus upon not burning holes in the atmosphere, or trying to change the weather, so they can have at it. Huh... Looks like we need to bug them for what frequencies they are going to use. UPDATE: Ah... Hereś more details on date and FREQ´s.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
If Auroras don´t kill 10M propagation, maybe we can hear what this dude did.by ThaDood - General radio discussion
Boomer FWR this to me. Looks easy enough, and if I was stuck as an apartment dweller, I´d build and try it.by ThaDood - The Workshop
Got home late last night to hear Timtron, WA1HLR, QSO with big-gun Don, K4KYV, on not having time to do AM on the higher bands in the daytime. Then, he mentioned that whenever he finally does, he wants to get some 12M, a.k.a. 24.9MHz, AM activity going. Well, sure... Why not??? That´s a very under utilized WARC Band, yet shares F2 and Sporadic ¨E¨ propagation like 11M, 10M, and 6M. And, you haveby ThaDood - General radio discussion

Came home last night to hear them wind down the list of 20 stations that had kids that wanted to do the Santa talk. FREQ = 3916kHz LSB, and the site to do the net and request your kids to be on this is: This year, they are also doing one-way ´Shout-Outs´ for just RX´ing SWL´ers and are using the neat tool of other folks´ Kiwi-SDR´s, which they had to do list night when 75M made it so one of tby ThaDood - General radio discussion
Tis the season, for Part 15 FM X-mas stations. And, that dude, about a mile from me, is back with the wholly-kow decked-out yard X-mas display, is back on 101.3FM. True Part 15, with it MAX´ing-out at maybe 400ft away with my good truck stereo receiver. Good audio and levels, and no distortion, so he knows what he´s doing. And, ya know that he´s not the only one out there doing that. So, watch foby ThaDood - General radio discussion
Got this FWR´ed from Boomer. I haven´t tried this, yet, but looks like it could be indeed a very useful audio tool to download and use.by ThaDood - The Workshop
Just last night, I was listening, before bed time, on 3892kHz LSB. Some douche was continuously messing with that group, keyed-up. What was crazy was that in seconds the usual 3892 group made comments about this douche, that douche was commenting about what they were saying back, while the douche was still TX´ing. The 3892-group figured out that this douche was using an on-line Kiwi-SDR to listenby ThaDood - General radio discussion
