Ice Storm

We are getting freezing rain tonight and it is not a surprise that my police scanner is picking up plenty of action. It is interesting to listen to and sure makes me glad tha tI did not have to go anywhere tonight. I hope all keep safe tonight.

Band Sweep- Weather Edition

This band sweep is more focused than most because of horrid weather we are getting in the Midwest. I have been listening to my weather radio a lot more this weekend. The Website for NOAA is here. The two weather radio stations I here most are WXJ58 out of Fort Wayne which is channle 7 on a weather radio or a frequency of 162.55 and the other is KXI94 out of Angola which is on weather channel 2 or a frequency of 162.425. I bounce between these two a lot because we are just about in the middle of these two stations and depending on how the weather is tracking, one station may be more accurate for us than the other. This is especially true when storms and bad weather is coming through. Five or ten miles can make a big difference in the weather you get sometimes. It was true this weeekend when you look at how the damage was done from the ice storm. From what little I saw, Fort Wayne and Allen County was hit harder than Garrett and DeKalb County.

Sorry if I have been sounding like a PSA and trying to sell weather radios. Weather Radios are safety equipment that I find is a neccessary thing. The State of Indiana seams to agree with me. Check this link out. I am not one for a lot of regulation but this one makes sense to me and I don't live in a mobile home. That's my soapbox for the day and take it for what it is.

WAWK is back on the air

It was not long after my post yesterday that WAWK came back. they did have a weaker signal and went off and on a few more times. There have been power outages in the area and ice storms are hard on everything. It has been a miserable few days around here and has reminded how glad I am that I run a bunch of my radios off batteries that I can keep listening even if power goes out. Luckily, power outages were not an issue for us this time around but with the weather chill being so dangerous, I am thinking of taking my weather radio with me even on errands.I have been listening to my police scanner more and paying more attention to what is coming on. I have been hearing some scary stuff the last few days. I got a feeling this is going to be a long harsh, soul sucking winter. Try to keep warm everyone and keep those radios playing.

WAWK is off the air

One of my favorite radio stations is off the air right now. I think it is because of the ice storm that North East Indiana got hit by. I could not get it at all yesterday and all I have heard today was a few short transmissions. Hopefully I can get the full story when the station gets back on the air.

Radio and DXing Bookmarks

YouTube videos on Pirate Radio

This is an old story but I thought it was still interesting to see the footage.

Band Sweep

I have been do a little listening over the last week. Mostly WAWK and WOWO. Over the past weekend I was listening to WOWO to get the Komets hockey game and I was also listening to my police scanner. You would not beleive all the accidents due to the snow. It was not a horrid snow but still hard enough that I would not blame people for wanting to stay home. People were getting into accidents that you could tell were caused by the fact that people had forgotten how to drive in snow and were driving as if the roads were dry and fine. I would laugh if it were not so serious. Do me and yourself a favor. Drive careful out there. I don't want to think you are a dumb donkey for forgetting how to drive in snow and I don't want to hear about it on the scanner so stay safe and slow down.

Lost Disc Radio QSL

Thanksgiving Week Listening

You would think that with a holiday weekend last week, I would have had plenty of time to do some DXing. Unfortunately that is not the way it winds up. Between friends and family, the weekend was very enjoyably used up way to early. To be honest, an NCIS DVD marathon ate up a lot of the weekend. The pains of competing interests. Maybe I can get a bit more listening in this weekend.

Radio Caroline

This is a radio station I found out from listening to WBCQ who carries some of their programming. Check out their website here.
