Pay attention at about the 9 minute mark – a single piece of wire back to the radio works well to! – I use a 60 foot wire about 12 feet off the ground – and it works well . . .
Stay tuned – More radio stuff incoming . . .

Pretty much the movie version of the book “Thud Ridge” – which if you ever find a copy of – grab it and enjoy the read!
The F-105 was basically an afterburner equipped B-52 engine with a set of wings added – the nickname “Thud” came from the sound of them hitting the ground in Viet Nam . . .

Yes – on your phone – in your pocket – way cool stuff . . .
Android installs are a lot simpler than pc installs – I actually would like to put a post together for you folks showing the process – the hardest part is getting screenshot pics with the phone while I’m installing the software on that phone – and making an understandable dialog to go with it – kinda like don’t listen to what I say – listen to what I mean sorta thing – LMAO!
Check out SDR-RTL.COM – that will really get you started – explore the site – the one thing I hope you take away from it – other than the fact that sdr dongles are way cool, cheap, and easy fun?
That one thing??
There is quite a problem with imitation or counterfeit dongles. There is a world of difference – performance wise – between real and fake – if you are going to purchase through amazonia go here to the RTL-SDR’s “store” website and click through the links on their page so you know what you are buying is real . . .
If – and it is a big if – I can get with Greg to put together a step by step tutorial that I can post here – saves you from going back and forth through a YouTube video – it a complete hoot – you can listen to am / fm / longwave / medium wave / shortwave / usb / lsb – essentially you have an incredibly high performance shortwave receiver in your pocket!
The post may not happen soon – Greg’s schedule is beyond busy – and mine is just about to go off the rails for the next 75 to 90 days – so . . . – we’ll just have to see what happens on that . . .

A habit I acquired as a youngster was reading credits – movies / TV – no difference to me – I read them through completely – I recognized not one name in the credits of this – This one is so bad – it’s almost good – I said almost . . .

Colion Noir is not appreciated by the communists in our country – this should give you an idea why . . .

Having known several recon pilots over the years – unafraid? Pretty much so during the run in and during the “take” – the twitchy parts usually occurred during egress – at that point you had time to think about what you just flew through to get the “take” . . .
Hell of a way to serve the Lord – just saying . . .

Here’s a collection of SDR videos for you to chew on – without a lot of time or money – you can get started in Software Defined Radio – and you can fart around with it on just a few bucks – or – you can spend to your hearts content – and you can listen to stuff besides the propaganda you are being spoon fed . . .
This next one is 2 years old – and the technology is constantly improving – but it will give you a view of what’s out there . . .
And you already have a computer – right? You can even use your smart phone . . .
These last three – if you’re still here – are from Ask Dave – if you have questions about “radio” – chances are Dave has already answered them .
I actually have 2 or 3 of the little dongles floating around hear – and I may have given 1 or 2 away – or not – but . . .
My two primary SDR’s are the DX-Patrol MK4 SDR Receiver from DXEngineering and the Airspy HF + Discovery from from Nevada Radio / UK – Why 2 you ask? The DX-Patrol is way cool – GREAT high frequency coverage – but – it only tunes down to 100 khz – the Airspy only tunes up to 31 khz – but – tunes down to .5 khz ( that’s 1/2 khz! ) – way down in the basement – submarine comm link basement levels – there is a whole ‘nother world of low – emphasize LOW – frequency traffic out here to listen to – there are a number of forums devoted to that type of traffic.
The other issue(s) with low freqs becomes the antenna – 600 foot plus (1200 foot is better) longwires start to get you there – but they also start to become somewhat directional – though a loop antenna will get you close the efficiency takes a dive below 50 khz . . .
This little post will get you started if you are so inclined – and remember – the cheapy little dongles? – like most other things – you are pretty much getting what you pay for!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
Are YOU monitoring this frequency as well?? If not you need to pay closer attention to the last post – LMAO!
All joking aside – the easiest way to get started with short wave listening is simply go to YouTube – watch a few videos and decide which SDR dongle catches your fancy – and dive right in – it’s a complete hoot and the simplest way to start. I will try to get some time tomorrow and grab a few videos to get you started . . .
