Free radio pirates on medium and short wave messageboard of alfa lima

Its been a while since I've reported. Now that the season is beginning, I hope to be active once again.

Recently bought a Perseus SDR and have been working (with help from Guy Atkins) making a setup I can use at the remote site here. I'm planning on trying it out tomorrow morning. Hopefully propagation will be working and the bands will be active.

Tuned in to Cupid Radio today and was pleased to hear him.

Good to see ya back in action Dave

thanks dave for the email
you wrothe:

Here are a couple screen shots that I just took to show you your signal. You can easily see the peak in the shot with the spectrographs. And the waterfall shows your signal as well in the other picture. Notice WWV at 15 mhz on the far left, and I think India on 15080 above your signal.

Please let me know how these screen shots look.

Your signal is fading quite a bit as would be expected. A lot of times its inaudible, but on peaks (like during the screen shots attached), its quite good. Keep up the good work!!
