I see #9 a lot. But #2 common? I wonder who that’s referring to

Makes sense. If it has no end there’s no beginning. After all time is just a human invention and doesn’t really exist. That being the case, nothing ends or begins.

Here’s something to  bring up and that is with FM…why can’t the USA have a catagory like Canada’s BETS-1 which allows licence free broadcasting to the general public with more power than you have in the USA as long as the transmitter is certified, with a few simple rules. Everything doesn’t fall apart here and 250uV/M@3meters is ridiculous. I’m…[Read more]

Same here in Canada. There used to be all kinds of small town locally owned stations that all disappeared, or are owned by a large corporation.

LEGACY!!! Look at the above post!

Now’s your chance to talk to the FCC….you want change, here’s your opportunity.

Doesn’t seem to work in the normal AM band also, except for 1 channel.

Yes, I agree, free speech can be taken to far, just as too much freedom is no good either without any boundaries. Can hatred be preached in the papers protected by the first amendment? If we rely on the news media for our information there should be some regulation that what is reported or how a person is portrayed is factual.  In fact in the USA…[Read more]

Your receiver is also a big factor in how far you will go with a good signal.

A lot of crappy radios image strong stations all over the band and weak ones don’t get through.

The “bleeding” is just what I am referring to.

Check out my report on using my new scanner to check my MS-100 for anything spurious in the communication bands as my station is operating. Confirms what the FCC agents told thelegacy about liking the Decade.
That malfunction in the other post regarding the Wholehouse isn’t good at all.

Yes, If you put the loop on something metal like the roof of the car in your last demo it changes the tuning and you have to retune. It may not work as good also.
My suggestion if it was me is take a small wooden or one of those plastic tables with foldable legs and a portable radio and the Terk Advantage and with the radio sitting on the table…[Read more]

People have to see this and there was no one around watching the demo.
Good demo though!
Showing it working passively with the other Tecson radio you had or with other typical radios with an audience would help you get listeners.

I thought it was sea level referenced when quite a while back I went for a ride in a small plane that lands and takes off on a lake and he told me this.

Anyways, I got myself a scanner, not the more expensive ones but one in my price range that would cover what I needed. I set the squelch at 1 as if it was turned off completely the scanning would…[Read more]

And also planes aren’t as high up and far away as one might think. Altitude is measured with sea level as a reference. So if a plane is flying at say 5000 ft that’s not 5000ft above the ground you are standing on….that’s 5000 ft above sea level so the plane is a lot closer than you think. A transmitter getting range of a couple of miles and…[Read more]

I wonder if TAW Global knows about this.

That’s bad!

I am going to get one of those scanners.

I stand corrected on the power of the Orion 5000.

I have always wondered about how all these Chinese transmitters are sold myself, not just in the USA but Canada too, not just from China but locally(USA/Canada) also via Amazon for one of a few sellers. And I know of a store just east of Toronto, Durham Radio, that were selling Ccrane stuff,…[Read more]

Ya, I’m familiar with the one mentioned in the NOUO, Orion 5000, a rebranded Chinese one at 500 mW I think. It’s not shown in their site now.

I wonder where the church was located…right beside the airport? Must have been a very strong spurious signal to get to the control tower. If only people had a radio with the aviation/public service band…[Read more]

Great video, very informative. Nice of you to share the inner workings of your station.

An Olympus voice recorder…..one of the higher end models  that will record in high quality MP3 files.

Saw….you should have done the demo with the Tecson or Terk ones as they would work a lot better.

You should also set out a small table and let some others try it moving the antenna away and closer to the radio.
