We'll have a 22 minute test broadcast tomorrow, the 31st (New Year's Eve, western hemisphere) beginning sometime between 0000 and 0100 UT on 5275 KHz.

Due to weather, outdoor antenna will not be possible at this time. We'll just have to do our best.

Cheers!

Lots of CanCon along with a few studio oopsies (RF + laptops do not mix!!).

Happy New Year!

Ha you need some ferrit-clamps around the cables.

Good luck for next time, hope you will have the antenna fixed?

Hi JoJo,

I think the ferrites might help some, but the antenna was in the room

We've had some nasty snow recently and stringing a wire outside was nigh impossible unless one had insulated hip waders

(it was supposed to be all gone by broadcast day)

I had fun, yeah. First SW broadcast since I was 14... that was 26 years ago!

My permanent TX will be tube... this one was a QRP transistor rig built on a challenge

Cheers!

Hi Jan,

Thanks for trying! My antenna sucked, so I'll blame that

Yup! I am close to Vancouver and my heritage on my dad's side is from Netherlands... it is possible

Cheers!
