Have a coworker who loves rebuilding antique shortwave radios. He wanted a radio that would only pick up the atomic clock in Texas so he built one from scratch. He wrapped the coils, installed the tubes. It was really amazing to watch. AND IT WORKED

@billybbob18 Год назад

I'm amazed by things like that. People used to wind their own motors. I accomplished the same task as your coworker with a 40 dollar amazon purchase and a free computer program. Things have become so easy that we don't get a chance to know how our stuff works. Kudos to your coworker. We would have probably gotten along well.

@KRAFTWERK2K6 3 года назад

Shortwave is quite an exotic thing among the radio frequencies because it spreads out in a zig zag shape and really can become a bit unpredictable and almost alive like a living creature. This is why it has so much drift and when you listen to a radio station on shortwave you have this fading and drifting because it's all the atmospheric effects on the radio wave. The weather has a huge impact too and also the seasons.

@chriskaprys 9 месяцев назад

After a lifetime of always finding radio endlessly magical and fascinating, then finally seeing the northern lights in person a few years ago, I now picture the aurora borealis when imagining the propagation of radio waves, how it slithers and shifts through the sky, like you said, like a living creature. Love it.

@nickg924 2 года назад

I have my ham radio license, and a few weeks back I was doing a contest. I was using a directional antenna pointed west (im on east coast and was trying to pick up stations west of me) and wound up hearing a station in Morocco. Being it is directional, it sent the RF power to the west, all the way around the world over to the person's antenna in Morocco. Looking up his location, it propagated nearly 21,000 miles and he gave me a 5x9 report. By far one of the coolest, and longest contacts that I have made on the radio.

@bblair502 2 года назад

You may have picked him up off the back of the Antenna. There is still a fair amount of radiation coming off the back of a directional antenna, especially a yagi type. Take a look at the radiation pattern of your antenna. You'll find a number of lobes (especially off of the back) that are radiating. just a thought....

Former military HF operator here. There is a mistake in his explanation of ionospheric layers. D-Layer doesn't exist at night. It recombines into the F-Layer. During the day there is typically the following layers from lowest to highest altitudes. D-Layer, E-Layer, F1-Layer, F2-Layer. At night the ionosphere recombines into typically a single F-layer. The D and E layers are either non-existant or unsuitably thin.

In the 1970s and 1980s, drivers of semi trucks were heavy users of the 27 MHz Citizen’s Band, and many of them broke the law by putting out up to a kilowatt, using linear amplifiers marketed for legal use in the adjacent 28 MHz (10 meter) ham band. I once lived in an apartment complex just off I-4 in Florida, and my apartment was on the highway facing side of a building near the wall separating the complex from the highway. One night I was awakened by a few seconds of a CB transmission on my clock radio, when the radio portion was OFF, no power. Some trucker must have been using even MORE illegal power than 1000 watts (1 KW); the LEGAL limit for CB is FIVE watts! His signal was so powerful that the transistors in the AUDIO amplifier demodulated it and passed it to the speaker with NO POWER from the power supply!

I was listening to Wolfman Jack in the early '60's while lowriding in my Oakie raked Oldsmobile, on the streets of Lake Tahoe. We were unincorporated then, no police dept. only the county sheriff. We only recieved one AM station in the daytime, out of Reno, 50 miles down the mountains. At night the Wolfman blew loud and clear from Cuidad Acuna, in Mexico. Those early border stations broadcast at 250,000 watts and he could be heard all across North America and as far as Russia. People could drive from New York to NOLA and hear his channel all the way. I remember, as a boy, when transistor radios cam out of the size to fit in a shirt pocket and battery powered! I would lie in bed in the SF bay area and listen to channels from the north up to Canada and the LA police, all in the wee hours of the night. Kind of romantic and exciting space travel for the times. Regards, DVK and the wonder dog Dharma.

@roberthunt1540 4 года назад

Memories!! The station was XERB. I thought it was in Tijuana. Wolfman, and the annoying Turfcraft, horse racing and betting. Ads for Sister so and so fortune telling. That was LA stuff, and I was listening from Santa Barbara, on a crystal set that was handed out for use in bomb shelters. Single earpiece . . . under the sheets at night after my dad said prayers with me. I fell in love with soul music because of that.

We are emergency communicators because we require no existing infrastructure to setup and begin communicating with others over large distances when disaster strikes and takes down modern communications infrastructure. As a side note I was working that band on field day and kept listening for my call sign to come across.

This kind of ham is OK for Jews and Muslims, and both Israel and (depending on their degrees of political censorship) most Arab and Muslim countries have ham radio. One well known example is the late King Hussein ibn Abdullah of Jordan, father of the current King Abdullah ibn Hussein (named after his grandfather), who operated a ham station for many years, just having regular ham to ham conversations, not mentioning royalty (unless asked) or politics.

It was cool seeing this in both my RU-vid feed and on the HRCC Discord server! 5:45 - Minor correction here. There's four-ish layers of the ionosphere. The D, E, F1, and F2 layer. The D is the lowest and F2 is the highest. During the DAY the D layer is active (we actually call it the Darn D/Damn D layer) and inhibits the lower frequency propagation. After sunset, the D and E layers erode and some degree of the F1 and F2 layers (and even possibly a bit of the E layer) are generally the only ones in tact. Depending on the state of those and how much the sun has effected them during the day is how radio operators fare on shortwave at night. Very good video overall, though. Best quote ever: "Don't reset the injury counter on a RADIO video, OKAY?" Still laughing.....

During the summer of 1976 after 9pm I would start receiving the AM station WLS(Chicago) to where I lived in SW Virginia. Rock music was hard to come by in the mountains where gospel, bluegrass, and country all had local sources but on many a night I was tuned in until the crackle of dawn shut down the signal. WLS played a lot of home town bands like (Chicago, Styx, and Cheap Trick) as well as the breaking bands of the day like Boston, Nantucket, Kansas.During the summers there was no harm indulging "AllNighters" but more then once a "Schoolday" was sacrificed by sleeping in and missing the bus. This fascination for Tech led to an Electronics degree and a few interesting adventures around the World(VMAQ-2, WMTR Kwajalien, and 22 years on the Space Shuttle Program). Great Episode!

Fascinating! I actually owned a Sony shortwave radio back in the early 90s. I could never get much in the way of defined shortwave from English speaking countries (not even BBC) but received some Spanish and Chinese stations. No way of knowing their location as even if they announced it I couldn't understand. However, I did pick up ham operators quite frequently, and surprisingly clearly. Sometimes both sides of the conversation, and sometimes only one side. Heard some real interesting talk about backwards messages and that secret part of Nevada (you know which one, lol...) and talk of the satellite dishes at Aricebo. I hankered after the big Grundig radios but they were WAY out of my price range. I've tried the online SDR shortwave sites, but I get frustrated with the reception, which is incredibly static-y and audio is garbled. No amount of adjustment seems to make a difference. I gather these sites figure their set up is user intuitive so are bereft of instruction, but a little advice on how to clear the signal and use the squelch and so on at the least would be a help. I usually end up giving up in disgust after ten minutes or so. I've always been drawn to radio, from my teenage years in the 80s on up. I suppose in these days of digital streaming shortwave or even medium wave is 'old school' but I'll never lose my interest in it. P.S.: Wanted to add that I recorded some of the Morse code and plugged it into the sites that can translate it, but most of it was unintelligible or just a bunch of random letters or words.

I grew up buying radio tubes from Marconi in Montréal as a kid to fix our radios. My First experience with stereo was two AM radios simulcasting the same song with different tones coming out of each

Hoo, yes. When I saw the announcement on Twitter I got really giddy. My father has been about HAM radio all his life, fully certified and such and has been his fun geeky hobby that I've definitely been roped into a couple times. I remember two instances of joining him for a FIELD DAY (once here in Texas and once visiting him in Pennsylvania) and you can tell the brotherhood amongst all these radio enthusiasts. If you're even remotely interested in any sort of radio service, absolutely find a local station during FIELD DAY season, and you may find amateurs who are still learning and learn with them, or learn from the veterans who for the most part are really passionate about something that seems so simple on the surface, and you may just get to enjoy some barbecue with the guys.

Wolf man Jack broadcast from Tijuana MX. I forget the call sign, but it began with X. I used to listen to him in the 1960s on a GE transistor radio. I've been a dx-er ever since with MW and SW sets. Interesting video man.

It is also for that same reason that when it gets dark the FCC or Federal Communications Commission requires that most local stations on the AM broadcast band reduce power and or change radiation patterns to protect other stations on the same or adjacent frequency. There are some that are called "clear channel" (not to be confused with "Clear Channel Media" now known as Iheart Media, but this is an FCC designation) that are specially licensed by the FCC to broadcast at the full legal power for AM of 50 Kilowatts (or 50,000 watts) although they may still be required to change antenna patterns at night. These are the ones that you are hearing for hundreds up to 1000 miles at night. I live just outside of Orlando, FL and yet WBT AM 1110 from Charlotte, NC booms in here at night stronger than most of the locals! Yet im about probably 500 to 600 miles from Charlotte, NC. (Sorry for edit)

Most of the Clear Channel stations in AM broadcast are the “pioneer” stations which came on the air in the first few years after WWI: stations like WGN Chicago, WSB Atlanta, etc. They are allowed 50 KW 24 hours because no other stations were, or will be, licensed to operate within 20 KHz above or below. Other AM stations can share channels if they are far enough apart, but are allowed less power than Clear Channel stations, and even less after dark.

About time you got Shortwave & amateur radio going on here! I wish y'all had shown a spectrum or two showing where everything lines up as far as AM/SW/FM/ETC. And within SW, the sections used by hams and broadcast stations. Quick correction, Josh only listed a few of the WWV (time) frequencies. WWV is on 2.5/5/10/15/20 MHz. 73 DE KD2CXU! :)

3:03 That's a convoluted answer. The simple reason for the lower range is the higher frequency of the waves on which the FM station broadcast.

sweet to see 2 of my most favorite channels collaborate. Thanks for the video you guys! very interesting. if you are interested in these things you should get a HAM license. its not hard to get licensed and you will be amazed how easy it is to make contacts across the globe!
