Title: What 40M nighttime sounds like (aircheck recordings) Post by: WA3VJB on April 25, 2012, 08:43:51 PM 40M the other night, W1VD and WA1HLR.
Nice. Title: Aircheck: WN3B Post by: WA3VJB on April 25, 2012, 08:52:01 PM Mike is running a 1940s broadcast transmitter re-worked and re-tuned to 40 meters.

Rapid, shallow fading like this is when I really wish I had synchronous detection. Still, plenty of margin to the signal, nice S/N ratio the whole transmission. Title: Aircheck: WD8BIL on Derb's rig Post by: WA3VJB on April 25, 2012, 09:13:22 PM Buddly fired up Derb's FT101 to help mark Tim's birthday this week.
N3DRB would have been 49. We were reflecting on having gotten together at Carol and Frank's, where a wee bit of Derb now lives ... 40 meters, evening late April 2012 Receiver: Hammarlund SP600 Title: Aircheck: WD2AFJ Post by: WA3VJB on April 26, 2012, 05:32:34 AM Ray, WD2AFJ at Phillipsburg NJ quite strong one late afternoon on 40m. I think this was Sunday 04/22/2012.
Title: Aircheck: WA3WMI Post by: WA3VJB on April 26, 2012, 05:33:55 AM Joe, WA3WMI can often be found on 40M daytime.
This was late afternoon and 7290Kc was delightfully clear of international BC interference. Title: Aircheck: K5UJ and KA3BVJ Post by: WA3VJB on April 26, 2012, 05:36:24 AM First couple times I worked Rob K5UJ I thought he was in 5-land. Uh, no. Near Chicago. A nice toss with good signals into Maryland in late April, 2012
Hello to Dennis KA3BVJ as well -- normally stronger than this. Guess the band was going long. Title: Re: What 40M nighttime sounds like (aircheck recordings) Post by: K5UJ on April 26, 2012, 06:24:08 AM Paul tnx for the recordings. QRN at ur QTH was worse than I thought.

This was late afternoon and 7290Kc was delightfully clear of international BC interference. Thanks for the nice recordings! :) Sorry but in Europe we never can hear AM from the USA on 7290 khz! This freq. is in use by BC stations...

QRN at ur QTH was worse than I thought. Static chases me away from 80M come late Spring, except maybe late afternoon. By comparison, 40M sounds like the dead of winter ... Title: Re: What 40M nighttime sounds like (aircheck recordings) Post by: K5IIA on April 28, 2012, 02:08:12 AM thanks for taking the time to record and transfer to mp3 Paul. its amazing what you can do with a few old cheap 813s and some wire up in a tree.

Title: Re: What 40M nighttime sounds like (aircheck recordings) Post by: W2NBC on April 28, 2012, 07:58:46 AM Aircheck late afternoon. If you listen carefully you can hear some tape rolling in the background.. ;)

We have come a long way from physically mailing tape recordings back and forth, and I still have some from TimTron and HUZ that were made 20+ years ago. I don't sound nearly so much like an old buzzard as now, hmmmm....
