Pop Shop Radio set for directional antenna test this week

 

I am planning a Pop Shop Radio really cool directional antenna test from Channel 292 this week! I have taken last week's show and augmented it with embedded digital data during the songs. The artist and title of each song will be transmitted in MFSK32 during the song.


Each 10-second blast will be during instrumental breaks, but you'll want to have FLDigi or Tivar up during the whole show. 

It will be at 0300 UT on Friday 19 July. Frequencies will be 6070 kHz - non-directional for Europe, and 9670 kHz directional for North America.

If need be, feel free to use a web SDR for your reception. 9670 has been heard well into the USA midwest, so it will be interesting to see the resilience of MFSK32 under challenging conditions. S

Special eQSL to be issued, so set up any automation you need, especially in Europe as it will be early in the morning for you!
