Dear Tom / Re: Why I still hate the Grateful Dead after watching Long Strange Trip
« Last post by Krokodil_Gena on September 28, 2020, 11:08:57 PM »I think we got the Grateful Dead experience of a lifetime through the 2013 "Four Day Creep" incident where Mike exposed Tom to the glory of Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, a founding member of the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpgjwoMlqZ8 (Vimeo version: https://vimeo.com/187714719)

It's where you want to go....if you want to just hear East Coast AM and shortwave, the NA5B is a good starter. If you want good coverage of general shortwave in one website, the Sedona SDR is a good starter. The Utah SDR is useful for fringe coverage of ham radio activity on the West Coast. Mostly what you will hear, if it isn't data transmissions, encypted SELCAN transmission from military bases, or the World Clock, will be commercial shortwave stations and amateur radio operators, the latter mostly in sideband.
