Did a scan around 7:30am on 8/31, received digital TV stations from MD and Washington, DC using a Winegard antenna and preamp pointed in a SW direction. WDCW, WDVM, WFDC and WPMT were the four stations receive, not bad for my NJ location. All stations were fading in a out though. Exciting...

Haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone's doing well. On a routine scan of OTA TV stations on 7/9/2021 around 2:30 pm local time in my area I picked up 2 analog TV stations. Both were transmitting the same material but one was clear, other was snowy. Clear one was on RF channel 4 (low VHF)...

Whoopee, Felix and Oscar marathon today. I get Decades on WDPN-TV in DE. Yagi pointed in that direction for the best signal from here in NJ.

Went to buy some Mrs. Dash seasoning yesterday and couldn't find any, so I bought a product that I thought was similar and it is called "Dash." Come to find out the company removed the "Mrs" from the original product last February. When will this nonsense end?

A Winegard YA7000C VHF/UHF yagi plus a Winegard BoostXT preamp (18 dB) were erected yesterday at the home QTH. I wanted something to pick up low VHF TV (54 - 88 MHz) channels and this antenna has low VHF elements, plus high VHF (174 - 216 mHz) and UHF. Due to the recent snow I erected it...

Been buying ham, shortwave and other items from Universal Radio for decades. End of an era. Happy retirement to the owners and thanks for many happy purchases.

Recently we had a Lennox Signature series heat pump/AC installed to replace our very old central AC system. We decided to go with a dual heat pump/AC unit because we needed an alternative heat source for the winter. Here in NJ winters aren't that cold anymore compared to 30 years ago when we...

Have to get a six pack of this: Yuengling Hershey's Chocolate Porter - Yuengling

Great idea. We've used similar dongles many years for HF/VHF/UHF radio reception.

Some guy with a Russian name ordered an Android solid state drive to the tune of 373.00 dollars on my wife's Amazon Prime account. He "Sergey" even added a mailing address to my wife's account unbeknownst to her and had the drive shipped to a mailing service in Englishtown, NJ. Luckily I found...

I've noticed over the past few years that some OTA signals from weaker (and more distant) line of sight stations will decrease from when the sky is dark to first light. For example at 6:00am a TV signal was 53% and by 6:30am it was 0% strength. At 53% the signal was viewable and stable, then...

Just ordered this OTA STB from Amazon. Want to see if it receives stations better than my current Sony 11-year old TV, plus it has a signal meter.

A small handheld battery operated spectrum analyzer went on the market and covers up to 960 mHz. Price is around $50 and has lots of features. It could be used for OTA signal checking. The $50 tinySA spectrum analyzer is here! I might get one for general tinkering as my main spec analyzer...

This source generates a noise signal from 0.2 - 2000 mHz, some purport it's use if you don't have a tracking generator. It works pretty well for testing out RF filters. Not a substitute for a TG but it has it's uses for the hobbyist. The noise source's signal is linear all depending on the...

Bought one of these to reduce FM broadcast band interference that can occur when using a SDR dongle. It works pretty well.

The CB band is open here so went down to 10m beacon bands. Heard VE, and 4, 5, and 9 land beacons. QSB on most but it's good to hear some 10m activity. 28.077 is buzzing with digital signals but not sure what they are, PSK31?

Has anyone tried this LNB for Ku FTA? QO-100 Bullseye TCXO Ultra Stable LNB Now Available in our Store for $29.95 with Free Shipping If it had two outputs I'd get one. Thanks for reading.

A little unorthodox but at least there's no need to climb the roof. 3 Element beam is only 9 feet above ground but elevation here is almost 300' ASL

Been fooling with this miniature sweep/signal generator offered on EBay that covers 35 - 4400 mHz. Runs off 5V supply and supplies a sine wave (looks pretty clean). Has a touch screen and you can set the sweep time and sweep increments. Want to see if it is useful for checking filters in...
