Have you done any listening in your arget area where other AM stations might receive you ? I recommend checking reception on a tuneable, streaming audio HF website called lobaltuners.com. You can key up, call CQ, and immediately know whether and how strong you would e heard by a station in the region where the internet-based receiver is ocated. I have found this resource very valuable in determining whether band supports ropagation anywhere !!! let alone to area where specific AM stations are ocated. It also may prove important as you check your 80meter antenna performance, and s you refine any audio shortcomings you may have. I wouldn't sweat the audio art of it for now, compared to getting on the air, but sure, you would want to now. Here's a screen shot, with audio, of how I heard my own station as I called CQ ecently. I went from camera mic audio to direct-coupled audio from the omputer's sound card. The quality is adequate to reveal any problems. I was running a 1946 Collins 300-G, retired as the original transmitter of WUST n Washington, DC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48pBTykFVN4 Best wishes, Paul/VJB _____________________________________________________________ ur Main Website: http://www.amfone.net MRadio mailing list earchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ ist Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html ist Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio ost: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net o unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with he word unsubscribe in the message [The entire original message is not included] ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
