Pirate Report from Dunlo, PA, USA, 18 October 2009

[Dave Valko]

17 OCTOBER 2009: Took the Perseus and NRD out again specifically for the Free Radio Nova test transmission. Cupid R. was already on (long before) I left, so I was able to catch him since he hadn’t signed off yet. Unfortunately there was no sign of Free R. Nova for the 1:20 that I listened. I didn’t use the NRD. It was a lot easier laying out the BOG in the daylight.

RX: Microtelecom Perseus SDR, JRC NRD-535D
ANT: 315' at 50° Beverage (BOG)
QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26
Duration: 1555-1715 UTC
Solar Indices: Didn’t take note
WX: Cloudy with steady snow flurries. Cool, low 30’s at best.

15070.50 Cupid R. 1605 end of song then anmnt but uncopiable. Into Rock song. Best w/AGC off, although the peaks were more pronounced. Nice peak at 1610:10. Beautiful ID at 1610:50!!! 1617 jingle “free radio from the Netherlandsâ€

Very nice to read your log Dave! Not bad at all with 40 watts! Thanks for putting in the effort!
