Administrators Keith J. Clark Posted March 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hello everyone, I do a lot of experiments with radio. Of particular interest is when I perform live noise reduction on radios around the world. There's one particular radio tower that has served me better than all others, and I don't know why. It is capable of reception up to 24Ghz. In February of 2019 I received some of the best spectrograph pictures I've ever received - from this websdr connection to this tower in the Netherlands. I propose the theory that the higher frequency is responsible, but I haven't yet gathered enough evidence to prove it. And the only way I could do that is if I was aware of a second radio online that was also capable of high frequency reception. So I wanted to reach out to the community and ask you guys what sites work for you. Additional cool stuff: I own a KiwiSdr and have used it on and off, but of course the upper frequency limit is 30Mhz, like most sdr. Another issue I have is that when I live stream this radio from the Netherlands, after a period of time of inactivity the user session times out. I'd like to figure out a way to circumvent that. Have tried to contact the radio tower owners, and been unsuccessful. so I have 2 questions. 1: Any other sites out there that go well beyond the shortwave band? Anything else in Gigahertz range or higher? 2: Anyone have any ideas for me to be able to connect directly to this site instead of through the browser (maybe with auto-reconnect - but the last frequency used would need to remain constant) Ideally, I would form a partnership with someone who has a radio tower - promote their site and establish a direct dedicated connection.

Karyn Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Me being silly, remembering my adolescence where I escaped to an old man's home to listen to the ham radio. Can you not erect your own tower as the hammies do? It was a shame I lost the connection to ham radios I would probably understand then a 1/4 of what you guys do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Ramos Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Basically not a bad idea Karyn. I still have 2GHz radio scanners from my ham radio time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Keith J. Clark Posted March 14, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted March 14, 2021 Great idea! I've looked at these before, just didn't pull the trigger due to cost. As much as I loved streaming from the Netherlands having control of the environment is ideal. Thanks! Keith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Keith J. Clark Posted March 14, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi Karyn, Well I do have plans to have a small radio tower or antenna here in the backyard if we ever build a shed. The primary purpose of that for me is to do research in VLF, given the past experiences I had (so more about radio waves traveling through the earth's crust than the ionosphere) I even have a custom built antenna with a rotator (where you can turn the antenna with a remote) However, given that I've generally discovered that spirit voices will appear in anything we focus on, I lean away from the expensive ham radio methods and more towards small, compact, non-obtrusive items. Maybe a scanner would work. I'd prefer a receiver instead of handheld, and they're pretty pricey. If I can confirm through multiple locations that frequency is an important aspect of why faces come through clearer, then we'll have more reason to dig in a little bit more. Maybe, just maybe, thoughts and impressions can be picked up more easily the higher the reception frequency. Thanks! Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Keith J. Clark Posted March 21, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2021 Michel has sent me a SDR dongle, I still gotta figure out how to set it up and have to look and see what model it is. In the meantime we're having pretty good success with my kiwisdr I fired up, turned out it has a 60Mhz ADC which seems to indicate according to Michael L that it may be much more successful due to the amount of information available to process. It can be found at https://www.varanormal.com/streamsfolder/stream8/ to be continued..... Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
