Sunday morning from the UK. Logs and Clips

Post by Bycross Radio »

10/12/06

A very good morning! First station recieved was Orion Radio @ 8:20 playing 'we love the pirates'. Very nice signal. I sent them a reception report and heard it read out on air. Wonderful station! You can hear an audio clip here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44488193/

Next up, on 6300 KHZ and annoucing antenna changes- I didn't catch any definite Id- but I think this is fLux AM. I got part of the studio number:XXXXX8395, but can't make out the E-mail. I'll get in touch later and see if this was them. Audio Clip: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44488488/

Next station is, I think, perhaps Radio Rob (007)? I'll have to check this. Received at 8:20. Perhaps someone could translate what is being said? I don't know a word of dutch! Audio: http: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44488667/

Back onto firm ground here: at 9:00am I picked up WMR, with various talk on frequencies and the ubiquitous jamming.Excellent signal as always. I tuned back in at 12:20 for some easy listening. Transmitting on 6400 and 6401. Audio: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44488781/

9:30 gave us Radio Atlantis- Clear signal, some fading, but overall very pleasant. This clip contains the sms studio number: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44489172/

Finally at 10:40 I tuned Borderhunter. I spent the next hour and a half listening to them whilst I soldered up the new modulator for Bycross Radios' TX. I would love to see the transmitter these guys use! Great program, wonderful Audio. very crisp and clear. Audio: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44489327/

Edit: Listened to Radio Spaceman and Major Tom from 1:30 to shutdown at 2:05. Conditions deteriorating towards the end. No at strong as when I last heard him.
All stations received on the 1948 valve set with a 10' longwire. 'till next time, kind regards and best of luck! Rob of Bycross Radio

Hi,

I think your Rob007 is actually Boomerang on 6305: heard in Glasgow 0839 with New Order "Blue Monday" and Pet Shop Boys "It's a Sin", which matches your recording. He went into English a bit later to thank Klaus Hoerlich for a reception report.

All best,

Peter

Hello Bycross Radio,

first thanks for the audio clip you send to me. Nice homepage and nice pictures there. Indeed it wasn't Rob006. didn't copy the station name in the recording, but indeed it could be Radio Boomerang. He was talking and or in QSO with Radio Robbie. Talking about he was a bit ill, and hase a fluw ( Hope I write this correct).

About the Borderhunter transmitter it's a nice small homebrew tube tx, you can ask him for a picture of course!

btw, any plans to go to the Borderhunter summermeeting 2007?

Borderhunter: Many thanks for the E-mail and pictures! When (not 'if'!) I get around to building a valve Tx, I want it to look like that! Very impressive! Best of luck for christmas and the new year.
