@w7voa any guesses who could dare to do this? I would hesitatelessly day it was a ruZZian terrorist as alarmed about... but wasn't Fico actually friends with Putler??
Eden Golan displayed incredible bravery, singing her song flawlessly despite being surrounded by a sea of hate. She dedicated her participation to the hostages.
The EBU apparently didn’t allow the Israeli presenter to wear a yellow ribbon pin. Because reminding the world of the hostages, not just Israeli but of many nationalities, is “political.” Just like mourning the massacre at a music festival is “political,” so the original Israeli song lyrics were disqualified. The world is working hard and actively to promote a collective amnesia of the 7 October pogrom. It has been 219 days. #BringThemHome#BringThemHomeNow#Israel#Eurovision
@littlemiao at least we can't complain it's all about suppressing Palestine and favouring Israel; the EBU treated symbols related to both sides equally 🙃
Dobra bo dostaję wręcz żądania abym komentował live'y (czy raczej od niedawna LAJW-y) #SierraEcho XD
No to przez ostatni tydzień nie oglądałem bo #Eurowizja 😁 także się nie wypowiem.
Natomiast wiem że Andrzej już chyba ze 2 miesiące nagrywa test Tecsuna PL-330... i dalej nie może nagrać, bo bus XD
Co jeszcze śmieszniejsze, po zrobieniu tego testu on miał go dać swojej mamie, jako radio "w razie W". No cóż, jak na razie ani filmu, ani radia u mamy... 😆
BTW wczoraj też był LAJW, bo były comiesięczne testy łączności kryzysowej w pasmach CB i PMR (polecam!), i w sumie nie będę się zbytnio czepiał go, bo były nasłuchy, były łączności (może tylko szkoda że nie zajrzał na k.11 USB, bo tam Anglia wołała!), a po 21 widzowie naciągnęli Andrzeja nawet na przelot ISS 😅. Ale było też miejsce na obowiązkową dyskusję o busie, a dokładniej o doborze akumulatora do radii w nim zamontowanych - LiFePO4, czy żelowe, czy jeszcze inne?

Just finished watching #Eurovision
Overall there were so many really amazing songs!
My personal favorites were the Irish song and the one from Cyprus, but a bunch of others were outstanding as well including the Austrian entry that won.
Also I guess it is a sign of progress that the German entry the first time since years wasn't last xD
@velobetty OK, we do have a "monarcha" in Polish too, although I guess some would rather feminize it as "monarchini" 😂
FYI, although I try to respect it, personally I don't believe in non-binarism. It seems to be a (very) new thing in Poland too. So don't get mad at me if I continue to call whoever looks like a man a man, and whoever looks like a woman a woman 🤠
Online listening has overtaken analogue FM* #radio in the UK.
Web, apps, and smart speakers have accounted for a total of 28% UK radio listening in Q1 2024, one percentage point ahead of FM. Mono DAB/DAB+ is still on top though, with 44%. Total digital listening figure is set at 73%.
(I know the report says it's FM & AM combined, but obviously and evidently, AM listenership is near zero 🙃)
Dutch NPO Radio 2 playlist in the hour leading to #Eurovision final yesterday... and the system failed to catch one more #Europapa airing which got mixed with the 20:51 one 😂
BTW the "lange versie" is simply one with custom intro containing station ID.
Don't be fooled by the signal or SNR levels shown here: this Radio Romania International 🇷🇴 signal is actually pretty weak & noisy, as storm conditions that have been destroying HF comms since Friday evening are still there, even if weaker. S9+10-15dB vs S4 noise level. #shortwave
Massive signal of naZi belaruZZian #propaganda service targeting Poland on 106.2 MHz from Brest/Rakitnitsa, currently bashing same-sex marriages and praising the Taliban for fighting with these "modern practices" xD #FMDX
OK, in the end it turns out my 91.1 FM Aurora catch from 3am yesterday was NOT SWR1 RP.
I wrote to the station using the form on their website https://www.swr.de/swr1/rp/kontakt/swr1rp-mail-ins-studio-100.html
and got a reply from Jürgen Kurth, DG7KH, who could not confirm my YT recording be of SWR1 RP. He even sent an off-air recording of the station at the same time as my recording, and they definitely don't match.
So what is it? Next guess, probably the more obvious one is Antenne Brandenburg, 20kW from Casekow.
So far no #aurora on FM, and there's actually a fair amount of activity on HF, including 3 29B6s around 15 MHz, and a very strong VOA Hausa on 15185 kHz, I think from Santa Maria di Galeria🇻🇦 #shortwave
In other news, my 15x4.5m loop, obviously supposed to work on MW & SW, has just caught LRT Klasika 🇱🇹 on 96.2 MHz as it fades up & down w/ air scatter, if not other scatters too. Juragiai, 10kW (PEP?), 237km, horizontal polarisation, although this loop seems to pick up stuff on both H & V. Oh, and a nice meteor scatter just pinged :) Who needs Yagis? 😂 #fmdx
