A Look at 2 AM Broadcast Band Filters

These pics were done running Airspy SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1910 – the sdr is an Airspy HF+ Discovery – the settings : HF AGC / off – HF preamp on – HF att 0db – the pics were taken as fast as I could put the filter (s) in line and switch them – so the conditions are basically the same for all – Frequency is set 1.110.000 – 1110 KFAB – 50 kw flamethrower – 60 ft long wire . . .

no filter . . .

RTL-SDR 2.6 Mhz HPF “Broadcast AM Reject Filter” . . .

NooElec “Flamingo” AM Broadcast Band Notch Filter . . .

They both work to quiet down the AM broadcast band – to explain the differences I am going to link to 2 sites to get you some idea of what is happening – #1HERE and #2HERE – it’s difficult to explain something when you don’t understand all you don’t know about it – LOL!

Once I get the new room set up I will do some thorough testing of both – as well as testing of the variety of settings on the software – Airspy SDR# Studio v1.0.0.1910 – as you can see there are a whole bunch of settings . . .

I will keep fiddling with this and try to get a clue as to what I’m doing – I’m probably 75 days out from getting the new room/studio set up – yes it looks like the studio may become a reality – I’m being drug – kicking and screaming – into the 21st century – so real pictures are coming and a YouTube channel may be up and running by the first of the year . . .

I’m not holding my breath on the YouTube thing and I don’t recommend that any of you folks do either . . .

Captain Video And His Video Rangers / TV Show 1949 Episode

TV was way cool in the beginning – When you recover from the excitement of watching this thrilling episode of Captain Video – and his Video Rangers of course – head over to Vintage Fanatic and check it out – a great collection of old TV stuff – the commercials are a real treat – Enjoy!

Here’s a few commercials to whet your taste . . .

Anybody else remember the brown paper on the dealer’s windows when the new cars started arriving??

And what brand of gas are you planning on using in that new car??

I remember this commercial and the tanker – just wow . . .

Have some more Grebnick Band . . .

A bit of a page from sokolomahapolka.com website :

Al and his lovely wife, Lucille, live in Schuyler. They have four children, Ken, Al Jr., Randy and Sue, and one granddaughter, Natasha.  Al, when asked if he had to do it all again, would he take up dance music, answered…

“Yes, dance music, and especially Czech polkas and waltz music has been very good to me.  But most important are all the friends we have made. All the cities and towns we have appeared in really have made it a good life.”Al Grebnick

“Yes,” Al repeated, ” I would do it all over again if given the chance.”

Quite a nice write up on Al Grebnick – click on any of the text above and go read the whole thing – if you would like . . .

This next one I can’t post here – just a link to the YouTube page – it’s a one hour video of “Al” and the band out of retirement to do a special performance at Sokol Hall in Omaha – Good Stuff here folks . . .
