DAREDX

OK, I slacked a bit the other day and didn’t get my post up, so Ill combine the two days reports together.  forgive me…maybe the things are getting a little muddled in my head.  Maybe its the radiation.  At any rate, I managed to make my first contact on PSK-31 the other day, finally.  I had some settings a little screwed up, my RF gain was way too high apparently and I was spreading my signal a little wider than it needed to be.  I talked to a very nice fellow from NJ who was patient enough with me in order that I got things set to a good level.  Then right after I signed off with him, I was off to the races, and my next contact was a Quebec ham, who must have seen my callsign and got excited to talk with another local.  It worked out well.  Here’s to hoping for more and more.

Now last night the A index was pretty high, and it looks high again tonight, so Im not sure what Ill be able to hear.  I did make some nice recording of shortwave broadcasts, have a listen.  There’s a christian guy proclaiming that the anichrist is embodied in world databases at about 40 mins, and lots of other banter. Here’s some stuff from Day 5.  If anyone can translate the arabic (I think) at the start, I’d love to know what this guys is saying.
