Shortwave meditation with WWV

How would you like to sit there and announce the time every minute. LOL

A lot better than listening to Brother Stair on WWCR ramble on for hours while he rakes in the money.

As long as I can GLP, sure, I'll take an 8 hour shift!

He's out of prison ? He should have been fed into a wood chipper (he did something to a 12 year old girl)

I remember listening to him back in the late 90s

CHU Canada had more interesting programming, time announcements in both English and French

7.335 MHZ ?

then there was one in Lyndhurst, Victoria ... can't remember the call sign

Pretty sure I have heard him VERY recently on faraway 50kw AM station at night.

Could be old canned sermons.

And one at 3.xxx mhz, too.

Great for learning french numbers!

Actually I think he died a year or two ago but they run his old taped constantly.

Yes old sermons but they are still getting money from people hoping to buy their way into heaven.

I used to listen to this when I was a kid with a Heathkit shortwave I built myself.

Lol

He passed away about two years ago, but his recorded shows live on, bouncing around the ether.

I wonder as the mish-mash of our history of radio and TV signals propogate through space, if it is even possible to separate and decode individual distinct transmissions.

At some distance, earth is a point, or single pixel as it were.

Frequency standards on defined wavelengths referenced to meters, maybe.

Random broadcasts of music may not be so easy.

Simple waveform detection of analog modulation, AM or FM is simple.

Analyzing the scan/retrace/interleaving/synchronous NTSC or any other TV image standard is going to be quite a challenge, as all signals would overwrite each other and make it difficult to separate anything distinctly, except maybe briefly as thrown off as "horizontal" low angle radiation at local daybreak/dusk.

Here's a signal still somewhere in space, that got caught and randomly saved.

lol

Sorry, guess you're not an engineer.

I remember them. There was Hallicrafters also. There was a radio catalog place called lafayette. And then the granddaddy of all short wave radios....the Zenith Transoceanic.

I kind of was. Maybe it's too late at night and my brain is shot.

Ahh, the Zenith Transoceanic!
Damn, they are hot and sound fine!

BTW...way out in deep space some life forms might intercept a WWV time signal. Wonder what they might think? LOL

There might be a few of them around. That was my dream to have one but it never happened. I have three or four small SW radios now.

And for whatever reason maybe 100 old pocket transistor radios I had picked up at yard sales over the years. Off to get some sleep now and then another exciting day.
