ADD-ONS
[ADDITIONAL STUFF FROM RECENT POSTS]
This past Monday (6/3) 10-11-6m was super HOT! Not just for 15 minutes, an hour, or even half a day, this lasted until the wee hours of the next morning (good times, good times). Things seemed to have quieted down by 11p.m. but I got up around 3a.m. and still heard chatter going in the shack. I think the 'ol 138XLR was a bit shocked to have dc running thru it for so long :)
SDR Stuff
I'm still hanging out on 3885 AM on WA1QIX's SDR web site, usually between 3 and 5 PM (CST), but I've also looked around for sites that have definite 11m band selections, so here's what I've found so far -
http://rx.jimlill.com:8073/ 11m
http://kiwisdr.surriel.com/ NH
http://k2sdr.homelinux.com:8073/ NJ
http://kiwisdr.k1ra.us:8073/ VA. No waterfall but gd rx
http://ka7u.no-ip.org:8073/ Idaho. Eh,Okay.
http://skhicks.ddns.net:8073/ Kingwood Tx.
http://g4bkhkiwi.ddns.net:8073/ UK
http://southwest.ddns.net:8073/ UK
http://kiwisdr-m0kwr.ddns.net:8073/ UK
http://sigmasdr.ddns.net:8073/ CT/MA *** I highly recommend this one for several reasons: 1. Easy to navigate 11m w/ch.No.'s ,and, 2. If it wasn't for Rob, the CBGazette may never have been!!

The sites listed above will NOT work with IE. I've abbreviated their actual locations as well. Only the site below will work on IE -
http://82.8.140.204:8901/ UK w/IE
I listed several from the UK because I'm hoping one of them will p/u "Fred-in-the-shed" and the 27.305 USB group he features on many videos.
MLA STUFF
I'm still (albeit slowly) working on a post about everything I'm learning about Magnetic Loop Antennas. It's taking a lot more time than originally estimated, so it may end up as a multi-part article.
However, if you are interested in MLA's (or antennas in general) you should check out Kevin Loughin's YouTube channel. Most recently, he has been dissecting the Chameleon P-Loop 2.0 (interesting stuff).
Not specifically tied to MLA's, I'll once more mention OH8STN's YouTube channel. He is honestly brutal when it comes to reviewing equipment on its own merit or by comparing one mfg. product vs. another's. Don't pass his channel up, especially if you are into SOTA, POTA, or EmComm.
That's it for now.
'Nuff Said
