Barometric forecast chart issued by the DWD, received this morning on 3855 kHz. #hamr #swl #AirspyHF #Youloop #wefax #JWX

The noise reducing passive receive loop (aka DIY #youloop ) phase 2....housed in a 20mm hula hoop (approx 220mm circumference) spliced together with electrical conduit junction box from Screwfix. Better than the last one and more solid for deployment outside. #hamradio

Listening to baseball on the radio. #WLW 700 kHz via an #Airspy HF+ and a #YouLoop antenna. Transmitter is about 200 miles direct from here, nearly due south along I-75.

There is some noise under the signal but it's very copyable.

Cubs leading the Reds 14-6 bottom of the 7th inning.

Here is a snapshot from #GQRX. I have stations labelled with the baseball team to listen to.

Knocked up a home made #youloop - otherwise known as a #moebius antenna today. Surprised that it works at all for such a small circumference - about 220cm. I've an #airspy HF+ Discovery, which is sensitive enough for it. Learnings: 1. It's impossible to solder the shield of Screwfix RG6 satellite coax 2. Use 2 small boxes for the connections. - I didn't. #hamradio

#AirspyHF SDR and a #Youloop mag loop antenna, listening to Pop Shop Radio via WRMI Okeechobee. Show starts 900p Eastern Sundays, on 5950 kHz.

I do not understand loop antennas, but they are fun to experiment with. The lowest noise floor I can get on shortwave (-110 dB) gives me -60 dB signal for WRMI. The same antenna configuration has -55 dB noise at 950 kHz.

I need to find a hula hoop?

Antennas, how do they even work?

19m on Airspy #YouLoop at 8pm mid-March in Poland. I start w/ a MASSIVE signal of Radyo Pilipinas 🇵🇭 on 15190 kHz. Then two Issouduns🇫🇷 but w/ very uneven signals: NHK 15130 & RFI 15300. Then AWR Hausa via 🇲🇬 on 15360, kinda weakish but there. 🇩🇿 on 15410 - even weaker. Then 15580 VOA nice pop mx, 15730 another VOA in French, both via 🇧🇼. 15770 WRMI & 15825 WWCR 🇺🇸 are rather weak, so is RHC🇨🇺 15140 earlier. Finally Pluto #OTHR 🇨🇾🇬🇧, and STANAG-4481 FSKs from NAA 🇺🇸 (15958 USB) & NAU 🇵🇷 (16123). #shortwave

Whoa, managed to snag a label decode on NZ #DRM on 13840 kHz! 😱

Still on the small passive #YouLoop, which becomes kinda deaf around here #shortwave #drmlog

#TVPiS propaganda time CNR1 jammer scan Mar 12 2023, this time on Airspy YouLoop indoors: maybe a very poor one on 7310 kHz initially, but made it P-F upon careful adjusting the loop. Also good on 9155 & 9255, both sounding swishy.

Firedrakes vs RFA: 9950 good vs moderate Digital Jammer, and RFA mostly readable underneath. 11565 same except no noise jamming, and both FD & RFA are stronger - to VG levels from CHN.

Oh and RNZ Pacific is still VG even on that #YouLoop! WOW! #shortwave

Got #openwebrx working on my #Debian x86 server in a #Docker container. It uses a #RSP1A that was gathering dust.
Now I need a second #YouLoop or some kind of splitter as I want to continue using my Malahit DSP receiver also 😋 #hamradio #swl

Nice weather out so I took my mast down, rearranged my #youloop/ncpl so that it is round instead of rectangular 🙂 #hamradio #swl

#80MeterBand in EU is strong, many stations, strong signals and low noise. Rx on my #youloop antenna. #hamradio

CB radio lives but volume knob has no working off switch when you turn it to zero volume. No rx on my #youloop, have to check it with a CB antenna later. #CitizensBand #uniden #retro #electronics

2023-01-20 #SWRadiogram on 15770 kHz. Good reception, SINPO 43444. Text - 100%. The one image shift is due to my laptop's "sleep" mode. SWLing in #Vilnius with #sdrplay RSPdx, #nooelec LanaHF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), SDRUno, Fldigi.

@ishotjr @makemagazine

An #Airspy HF+ and a #Youloop antenna is very portable, and gets you very broad frequency receive coverage.

#Nooelec has some fun SDR parts too.

The ARROW club is doing a group build of a "tape measure Yagi" antenna, optimized for 2 meters and very directional. That's a transmit and a receive antenna, and when I get it built I hope to take to to the top of a parking structure and point it at repeaters far away.

Some FT8 DX from the U.S.A are heard in #Vilnius this evening on 20m. About 9400km is the farthest. SWLing in #Vilnius with #SDRPlay #RSPdx, #nooelec Lana HF & DIY #Youloop (indoors), SDRUno & Jtdx .
