AI6YR Ben<p>Here we go... shortwave receiver built out of this chip. Looks like the main thing is a change in the intermediate frequency (IF) and some coils for the oscillator circuits, which will shift the range of the AM receiver down to the shortwave bands. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/shortwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortwave</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>S2 THE DIVIDED DIAL EPISODE 4: Wall St. Wants Your Airwaves</p><p>"...In recent years, creative, often music-focused pirate broadcasting has been thriving on shortwave. But these surreptitious broadcasters are up against a surprising enemy: Not the FCC, but a deep-pocketed group of finance bros that is trying to wrestle the airwaves away from the public, and use them for a money-making scheme completely antithetical to broadcasting.

James Akers<p>Spent some monies before tariffs started rolling in and got some phosphors (from the Netherlands).</p><p>Now I am making some new colors- a warm white and a pink. Mundy Hepburn was right- when buying phosphors- just get RGB... oh an maybe violet.</p><p>Gotta mix these on the ball mill for the recommended two days and then do some test coats- I sure am excited! </p><p>realistically I might do a test tomorrow. It will be nice to see how it moves and coats a sample tube. <br> It sure is coating the jar well after about 20 minutes. That is a 254nm quartz lamp for the argon mercury. </p><p>The nitrocellulose coatings are so effective!

Kris\Slyka<p>OK, I think I've solved a weirdness I was encountering with my receiver.<br>It's got a little BFO adjustment dial which together with the adjustable filter allows for USB and LSB reception. One thing that confused me was that the way it worked just seemed kinda inconsistent. Turns out, the direction of the dial is different in different bands. in band I, III, IV, and VI turning the dial up gives raises the BFO frequency you lower sideband reception, on band II and V it lower the BFO frequency and gives you upper sideband reception. That's so confusing! Why did they do it like that?! I assume they just had standards on where to use USB and LSB and made it switch automatically accordingly?</p><p><a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/shortwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortwave</span></a> <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a></p>
