Circuits Anyone?

I have neither gotten into the transmitting or the building part of the dx hobby but both have been calling in my ear. There is at least one blog that does look into building transmitters. It is here.

CFL and weird Radio Reception

I love the Canadian Football League and have not been able to follow since I moved away from the Detroit area. (I miss CBC TV). On Saturday, I found out that my favorite CFL team was playing so I looked the Edmonton station that carries their games on the web. They were playing the Hamilton, Ontario team. This is were it starts getting weird or not so weird in this age of the internet. I was listening to a game being played in Hamilton being carried by an Edmonton, Alberta Radio station website while I was in Indiana. It was a getting streamed through my computer to a Fm transmitter so i could hear it through my radio because it has better sound than the computer.Talk about taking the long way around to getting the signal. My team lost but it was a fabu close game. It was decided by a touchdown in the last quarter. The geek side of me was loving the technology involved in bringing me the game. Yeah, this is not necessarily getting things via the airwaves but there is the RF tie ins so please forgive me. It is nice how technology gives you entertainment choices. Having usable choices is freedom. Got to love that.

Lumpy Gravy Radio Show

One of shows on WBCQ is the Lumpy Gravy Radio Show. It tends towards the psychedelic. Their website is here.

Blog Report

I am starting up the weekly websites again. Hopefully I will start listening more both over the air and using the net and be reporting in. i won't make any promises. I have never been all that consistent with this blog nor have I had the best material. I guess it shows with the lack of following of this blog but I am learning the hobby and it is kind of neat to note my own progress.

I have also caught Ragnar of Pirates Week fame on facebook.com o you might want to go check him out.

Listening in

Not much to report in. I am trying out to somw web radio streams. I found one that has some old time radio. I am also looking into some links to help start up the weekly webness on here again. Hoefully, I can also get some over the air listening and start posting to this blog more.

Area 51

Area 51 is the more free wheeling part of WBCQ's broadcast. It airs on 5110 and sometimes shares broadcasting with 7415. They also have a website which is here.
