In trying to fix a radio, some local hams suggested I get a scope. I told them I don't have one, so another local ham gave me this. Only one channel works but he said it might be helpful. Now I have to learn how to use a scope.1yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio

How was CQ WPX for you? I gave my homebrew mag loop a good workout on 10 and 15. Got contacts into South America, the Caribbean, New Zealand, and Serbia. Not bad for an apartment balcony.2yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio
Installed a 144/220/440 antenna today. surprisingly it performs better mounted on the hatch instead of the roof. The exact opposite of the 144/440 I have currently mounted on the roof.1yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio

Set up a stealth 35 ft dipole on my apartment patio, in somewhat of a loop formation, ran window line into a tuner and then to my new to me IC7300. So far it tunes up on 20 and 40. No contacts and can only hear myself on one local SDR. Compromise, yes, but it's a start.5yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio

Need to build a shelf for my radio desk to. Should the back side be left open for air flow? Or is it ok to close off the back (for additional weight support) and just notch out a few holes to run cables?3yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio

This was my first VW. A 2004 Passat that I own four 11 years and 246000 miles. It was the first car I purchased, and the car I learned the basics of automotive maintenance on. I fussed over it endlessly. I still think about buying another one all the time.6yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/Volkswagen

This 40+ KHz wide signal keeps appearing about 6940 KHz. It sounds like STANAG 4285 but is way too wide. Is it just RFI? By comparison the signal to the right at 6920 is an actual STANAG signal.2yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/signalidentification
It seems 20 meters is down the tubes due to some local noise that started up about a week ago. It's not from my apartment, though I may have to do some sniffing around. It sucks because I worked a fair amount of DX right before this started.3yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio
Following up on a couple of recent posts I made. My scrap plywood best shelf is built and the Swan and Drake are back from being restored. Drake is going to a local ham, but I will likely get a T4/R4 pair, a TR3, Hallicrafters SX71, and McKay Longwave radio later this year.3yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio
