Band Sweep

I have been thinking about an idea for a while and don't have it totally gelled in my mind yet. I was thinking about reporting into the blog with the stations and programs I have been hearing. I have been doing this sort of for a while but I was thinking of making it more a feature. I do not know what form it will be in or how regular but I will see how it will unfold. If anyone reading this has any ideas of what would be interesting or helpful, please leave a comment on the blog. Yes, I moderate the comments on this blog but I have not turned down a comment yet but I reserve the right to. I won't make any promises about using any suggestions other than I will think them over.

So far I was thinking of making this feature an online log of all the shows and station I have heard with all the times and frequencies I can get. I will get websites if I can. It probably wqon't be weekly be hopefully more than monthly. We shall see what comes of this.

Lost Disc Radio

I was just listening to a podcast version of Allen Weiner Worldwide and found out that the Lost Disc Radio show is going to take a winter hiatus. That's a shame. I really enjoyed their show and have several of their QSLs. I hope they are able to get things together and get back on the air.

Happy Birthday Blog

I realized this blog turned a year old on the 16th of this month. It has improved some and there are some things I still want to work on to make it better. I have an idea that will probably be coming out soon as I can get the format I want for it down. This blog is going to be alwasy a work in progress to make better. So happy belated birthday blog and let us see how long I can keep it going.

Radio Netherlands QSL

I got this QSL in the mail during this last week. I don't always upload the QSLs in any particvular order or when I get them but I loved the picture on this one so much I wanted to bump this one to the head of the line for being posted. And if you are wondering, I do use the scheduled post feature to insure the posts come off on a regular basis. I am not so wooried about the time of day being consistant but the Weekly Website and QSLs post are on the same day each week. Just FYI, if you have not noticed.

Novel use of the Davinci code

I was running through some blogs and came across a funny yet practical use of the book, The DaVinci Code, by Dan Brown. The book was used as insulation to thermally stabilize a transmitter. To see pictures and get more detail check out this link.

This Week in Amateur Radio

This week in Amateur Radio is an excellent radio program. The only reason I am not listening to it more is that I got busy and bad reception interfered. I did notice they have it online as mp3 that I may have to start listening to. Their website is here.

My Grundig

I am really glad that the model of Grundig I got can run off two types of batteries. I ran out of the D cell batteries I usually run it on and only have AA batteries. Fortunately I can run it off either size. Phew! Not the getting batteries is that big of a deal but I hate shopping for one or two items and I really did not want to wait to go portable with the radio.

Shortwave Central

Shortwave Central is another blog about shortwave listening. The link is here. They have some good information so check them out.
