Some SWL Stuff . . .

Short Wave Listening is as much fun as aAM DXing – except you are hearing stuff from all over the world – My primary antenna at this point is an MLA-30+ powered off an Anker cell phone power pack battery – no switching power supply injecting noise into everything . . .

It actually works well beyond what I imagined it could do . . .

Here’s a screen shot from this morning – running an Airspy Discovery HF+ on a micro desk top Lenovo . . .

Took the antenna and switched it to the Malahit – that thing is way cool – I have 3 different antennas inbound for it – a telescoping whip – a mini-whip powered by a 9 volt transistor battery – and a donut shortwave mini loop – trying to get some portability going with it – with a decent antenna . . .

If you compare the screen shot above – with the full up SDR running on the computer – and the this pic – you realize one of the limits of the Malahit – instead of looking at a large spread with the ability to click on a signal and listen – the Malahit you are looking at a tiny slice of the band – but if you know the frequencies you want to listen to – it is way cool . . .

The other “rub” to it? You really need a stylus of some type – using it is a “fat finger” nightmare – the audio however – for its size is decent . . .

I will get you a better look at it in something resembling a review at some future point – I have several clips of “stuff” recorded of the Airspy doing it’s thing – now I can’t remember how to get them off the phone and onto the computer – too big to e-mail so I have to do it with a USB cable.

Which brings me to another point – several of my grand daughters want me to do a youtube thing with all the AM DXing and shortwave “stuff” and more than one is making noises that she would pretty much do it – I would just have to provide her with content – So . . . let me ask YOU, and YOU as well – and yes even YOU – is this “stuff” you would want to see?? A video or three a week of radio listening “stuff”?? I sent one clip through texting of WWVB @ 60kHz – and two of you twisted folks responded positively about it – and several more are like WTF?

Another couple of weeks and I will (maybe) have my radio room to the point of being able to use it – so it could happen . . . Let me know . . .

Gee – I wonder why this story is not being covered by Satan’s public relation firm the media here in America??

It is becoming known thanks to WION . . .

This is the primary reason President Trump is so vilified by Satan’s public relations firm the media here in America and the majority of politicians in this country – he almost completely stopped the flow of undocumented / unaccompanied children across the southern border . . .

Golly Gee Whiz – Why on earth would that upset anyone?
