Ah, yessss!!!. I remember when the Williams Lake Amateur Radio Club put 
on a ham radio display at the local rodeo. We figured, hell, the whole 
damn roof is made of tin, and that's all metal right? And the barn is at 
least 400 ft long. So we get out the tuner, clamp a lead on the roof and 
load 'er up. Even with only a couple of hundred watts we get S-9 reports 
on 80, 40 in the daytime. Course, we also discovered that all those rusty 
nails in the roof make great rectifiers....we also wiped out the local 
broadcast station's remote gear so had to go back to the dipole....'twas 
fun while it lasted...

On either Friday (3 April) or Saturday (4 April) (sorry, I forget
exactly which) evening I was listening to RHC (on shortwave) and they
broadcast a translation of excerpts of a speech that Fidel Castro had
given to a meeting of the Young Communists League in Havana.

One part of the speech attacked Radio/TV Marti and announced the
beginning of new radio broadcasts from Cuba to the US.  The use of
mediumwave wasn't explicitly mentioned but it was strongly implied.

I would assume that you have heard one of the first of these new
broadcasts.

Subject: Midnight Radio was a relay of Voice of The Night

The Voice of the Night relayed Midnight Radio. How do I know this?
I listen to the pirate band more than I really should. I am hooked.

At 2205 UTC Saturday on 7425, I heard Midnight Radio test transmitting or at
least I thought I had heard them. It was actually the Voice of the Night
attempting to improve his audio. The Voice of The Night (VON) transmitted it
in AM mode. He would drop the signal and then bring it back every so often.
So I heard parts of the taped Midnight Radio Broadcast before its actual
airing. VON's audio was usually bad. He does not understand how to operate in
AM mode.

The Totally Creative Pirate Radio operator heard him and gave him technical
assistance. TCPR came on at 2240. He told Lad that to operate clearly in AM
since he uses no linear amplifier, he needed to reduce his 100 watts of power,
to 20-25 watts to operate in AM.VON listened and his AM sounded pretty good.
TCPR also helped VON improve his audio quality in USB.

VON mentioned at this time that he is receiving technical assistance from a
radio engineer who I believe will help him set up a 1,000 watt transmitter
which is coming shortly.

VON transmitted Midnight Radio from 0215-0254 UTC Sunday, Very good audio
and strong signal. It was a great program.

I believe if those people who heard that it was VON that was tranmitting
Midnight Radio, they would not have congradulated the station.

Instead, we would have heard "Die baby pirate scum."

The 0Z4 was a gas (mercury vapor, I think) rectifier.  Other M-V rectifiers
of the time used heaters to vaporize mercury droplets enclosed in the
envelope.  Types 816, 866A and 872 come to mind.  These were high-current
tubes, but the sudden turn-on associated with ignition of the vapor caused
what was called "hash" noise.

I have been using the Ramsey FM-10 to transmit on 91.7Mhz.  I have
just plugged the speaker output into the line inputs and walla, I
can take the Walkman about a 10 houses away and still pick up the
trans.  Great for woking it the yard.  

I have tried to hook up a 9V power cord to it but I get really

a power cord?

If you're getting an SCA adapter from FM Atlas, then get an FM Atlas from
them too!  It's the most comprehensive resource on FM stations - including
which ones offer SCA.  They just came out with a new update to it.  Contact

The articles in Fine Tuning's *Proceedings* may provide a hint here.
You would think that the further away a station, the weaker the
signal.  Makes sense, right?  Well, one of the propagation articles
there (I think in the 1991 edition) mentions the possibility of a
"spherical convergance" mode.  Think about it.  As the signal leaves
the transmitter, it spreads out in different directions, like a fan.
But as it gets more than halfway around the world, the paths start
getting closer again.  They converge at the point opposite their
origin, with resulting high signal strength.  North America is
roughly on the other side of the world from Australia.

I may have some of the finer points of the arguement that David
Clark and John Bryant make slightly off.  I recommend that anyone
with an interest in propagation read their articles in recent issues
of *Proceedings*.

There is a node "INTERBIT", a gateway Bitnet-Internet. I mailed the postmaster
<smpcu@cunyvm> for help but there is no answer yet (on holyday?).
Could anyone in this list let me know where to find help files?
How do I post in "newsgroups" from Bitnet?
Thanks.

Subject: Radio Kiribati now 5000 Watts on SW
Date: 10 Apr 92 07:28:06 GMT
Organization: University of Tampere, Finland

Radio Kiribati is now often audible here in Finland.  This exotic station
from the Pacific is heard almost every evening at around 1830-2000 UTC on
14917,6 kHz/USB.  I heard them last night here with interesting folk-music 
from the Pacific islands.  Very clear ID's both in local languages and in 
English before the news in English.

The station has recently increased power from 250 Watts to 5000 Watts.
This explains the increased reception on the other side of the globe.

Try now before they get too many reception reports and the staff becomes tired
of them!

The oddest rectifier I remember is the 0Z4 tube that used to be used in
most old tube car radios.  This tube did not require a "heater voltage"
but somehow (I never found out how) rectified the AC coming from the
transformer after the vibrator.  the 0Z4 as i recall had a bluish gow
when it was working.

Hi.  It is probably a FAQ, but I would like to know what the cordless phone
frequencies are.  I had a nice list, but lost it.  Please direct e-mail
since Ido not read this group all the time.  73 WF2V, Len

Subject:      Cordless Phones

In general, what frequencies do most cordless phones operate on?  Because in my
   college dorm where I have an indoor tv antenna clipped on to the stub of
what used to be the whip antenna of my sanyo boom box which has the shortwave
bands on it, I can pick up all the cordless phones of people on my floor.
The radio covers from the 120 meter band to the 22MHZ range (forgot the meter)
and I hear the cordless phones all over the bands sometimes, (especially
if its the guy next door talking to his girlfriend all night).
The radio itself gets pretty decent reception (better than my friend's dak)
and it has a cassette deck so I can tape off the shortwave bands.
If these are echoes or half wavelengths that I am receiving is there any way
to stop it (other than buying a new radio)?
Also, since I can pick up other people's cordless phones then they
could pick up mine if they had a scanner or something, so (since
I'm a security freak) are there any cordless phones that have
digital transmission, so that it would take more than just a scanner
in order to listen in?

Here in Atlanta , RHC was also noted on 1160kHz with an extremely distorted
signal (hum, poor modulation).  This was at 0100UTC on 8 April .  Tonight
1160 is gone but RHC is on 830 and 1100.   Radio Taino remains on 1180
with separate programming.     This is the first time in a long period
since RHC was on MW.

BTW ,  Does anyone know what the Radio "CON-GWEE-OH" service on 1570kHz.
I hear it evenings (EDT) carrying classical music.   I assume this is the
Atlantic Beacon under new ownership.   Broadcasts are in English.
