Staring at your fish finder and seeing nothing but squiggly lines? Or worse—a completely blank screen while you're trolling for salmon in Puget Sound?In this episode, Jamie breaks down the four essential fish finder skills that'll help you stop guessing and start catching more salmon in Puget Sound and Washington waters. You'll learn how to dial in your settings, interpret what you're actually seeing, and make real-time decisions that put your gear right in front of the fish.Episode Overview: Why leaving your sonar on "auto" is sabotaging your catch rate How to choose the right frequency for your depth What those arches and bait balls actually mean—and what they don't Simple adjustments that will help you catch more fish consistently Timestamps: 00:00 – Why your fish finder feels overwhelming 01:00 – The 4 essential fish finder skills 02:00 – Using the right frequency for your depth 03:00 – Understanding what your sonar is showing you 04:00 – Don't be afraid to tweak your settings 05:00 – Fish finder decision making: React to what you see 06:00 – Making it a habit and final takeawaysKey Takeaways: Low frequency (50-83 kHz) = zoomed out, wide view with less detail. High frequency (200 kHz) = zoomed in, sharp detail on smaller area. Big arches don't always mean big fish—interpret shape, density, and what's around it. Your downrigger ball sits higher than the depth you set it at due to momentum and angle. When you see bait or marks, adjust your gear depth immediately—don't just observe. If you're not watching your fish finder consistently, you're missing fish.Resources & Links: Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife fishing regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsWant the full structured learning experience?

COPYRIGHT NDR Live, off-air, two-hour recording of the special annual Gruss an Bord program from German broadcaster NDR, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, on 24 December 2025. Gruss an Bord features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at an event in Hamburg.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Hamburg event was recorded on the third Sunday of Advent, 14 December, in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club and was hosted by Susanne Stichler. The program included a number of special guests including Bishop Kirsten Fehrs; Hamburg's Senator for Economic Affairs, Melanie Leonhard; the Federal Government's Maritime Coordinator, Christoph Ploß; and Vice Admiral Axel Deertz. Music was provided by the folk music duo of Frank Grischek and Ralf Lübke. The broadcast was primarily in German, however there were several minutes in English when Filipino seamen were interviewed and some of the songs had English lyrics.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters at Nauen, Germany; Issoudun, France; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida, U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The scheduled frequencies (kHz) were: 6030 (via Issoudun) for the Northeast Atlantic, 6080 (via Tashkent) for Europe, 9635 (via Nauen) for the Indian Ocean, 11650 (via Issoudun) for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, 13830 (via Nauen) for the Southern Atlantic, and 15770 (via Okeechobee) for the Northwest AtlanticMonitors reported that the program did not air on 9635 or 11650 kHz.This recording was made in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. It is of the transmission on the frequency of 15770 kHz for the full two hours.The recording was made primarily using a Belka-DX receiver in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with a bandwidth of 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz outdoors with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna Reception was quite good for the most part with a bit of fading at times. But that receiver was initially tuned to 13830 kHz with a weaker signal. However, 15770 kHz was being recorded simultaneously with a KiwiSDR 2 software-defined radio receiver in narrow AM (AMN) mode with noise cancelling and with a W6LVP indoor magnetic loop antenna. So, the recording here has about a 4-1/2-minute splice from the KiwiSDR receiver at the beginning with the remainder of the recording from the Belka-DX receiver. A few seconds of the end of the program are missing as WRMI cut over to other programming before the complete end of the program.

Horóscopo, notícias, dicas culinárias, promoções, músicas que falam diretamente ao coração e a tradicional oração de Ave Maria. Acrescente a esses ingredientes, uma boa pitada de debate e o anúncio de pessoas desaparecidas.Esta é uma receita de sucesso, sem dúvida. Nos anos 90, era assim o programa de maior audiência do rádio brasileiro. Na apresentação, o comunicador que ficou conhecido como “o amigão das mulheres”, Paulo Lopes.Em 1992, eu estudava comunicação e juntamente com meu amigo Paulo Cesar Sene, que se tornou um fotógrafo excelente, fomos ao estúdio da Rádio Globo AM de São Paulo, à época na Rua das Palmeiras. É desse túnel do tempo que vem as imagens que você vê neste episódio, enquanto conhece a história do apresentador e do Show que comandava em emissoras populares, como Globo e Capital. Paulo Lopes nasceu em Urucânia, interior de Minas Gerais. É filho de camponeses e o mais novo entre os homens de uma família de 11 irmãos. Foi no ano de 1947, em 3 de fevereiro, dia de São Brás, que ressalta ser o protetor da garganta. O início como locutor foi aos 16 anos na rádio da Companhia Siderúrgica Belgo-mineira. Depois trabalhou em Juiz de Fora como repórter policial da Rádio Sociedade AM 1010 Khz, que mais tarde se tornaria a Rádio Solar.Após uma rápida passagem pela Rádio Globo de Belo Horizonte onde se dedicava a tocar música, em 1969 vai para o Rio de Janeiro e entra na Rádio Tupi e, em seguida, na Guanabara, onde passa a comandar o histórico Show do Paulo Lopes. Em 87, chega à Rádio Globo de São Paulo para substituir Paulo Barbosa, que estava indo para a Record.Neste episódio, relembre ou descubra como era a estrutura do programa e acompanhe alguns dos principais quadros que iam ao ar na Rádio Globo, das 8 às 12h.

Foundations of Amateur Radio On your amateur radio journey, you'll likely discover that many transceivers run on 13.8 volt DC, give or take. For example my FT-857d requires 13.8 volt plus or minus 15 percent, with a negative ground, and a current draw of 22 ampere, more on that later. In other words, the power supply needs to be between about 11.7 and 15.9 volts, the same voltage that runs most vehicles with some wiggle room for fluctuating alternator charging cycles. While some radios will absolutely fit in your car, there's plenty where that just isn't the case, even though they're set-up for a 13.8 volt power supply. You might think of it as an anachronism, a few steps removed from spark gap transmitters, but there's more to the story. Most residential power grids run on AC power, at varying voltages and frequencies between 50 and 60 Hz. Across the world there's eight different AC voltages in use between 100 and 240 volts. Some countries use more than one combination and I haven't even looked at three phase power. Perhaps 13.8 volt DC isn't looking quite as odd. With this revelation comes the need to actually have 13.8 volt available in your shack. Converting your grid power to something you can plug your gear into requires some form of transformation, typically achieved with a power supply. Efficient, cheap and plentiful, the switch mode power supply is the most common. Built to a price, they're also often noisy, not just the fan, but noisy from a radio emissions perspective. Amateur radio has very sensitive receivers and as a result you can often hear, or see if you have a waterfall display, RF birdies, a sound reminiscent of a budgie whistling, every 100 kHz or so across the whole radio spectrum. Not something most other equipment cares about, so you're often left to fend for yourself in figuring out how to deal with this phenomenon. There's plenty of filtering techniques and circuits to be found and some of them even work, but for my money, I'd spend it on a power supply that doesn't make noise in the first place. A regulated power supply maintains a constant output voltage or current, regardless of variations in load or input voltage. An unregulated power supply can wander all over the place. Adjustable power supplies allow you to set the voltage, amperage, or both, sometimes with knobs, sometimes using external controls. At this point you might decide that this is all too hard and you want to do away with all this complexity and use a Sealed Lead Acid, or SLA battery, after all, that's what the 13.8 volt is based on, but then you'll need to charge it. Similarly, picking any battery technology requires some form of charging. Another word for charger is: power supply, often a switch mode one, and likely not filtered in any way that matters to you, since batteries, and for that matter solar power inverters, are unlikely to care about RF birdies. I will make mention of linear power supplies. When I started on this journey, this was the strong recommendation from my peers as the most desirable option. Although they're significantly less efficient than switch mode power supplies, only 30 percent versus better than 80 percent, from an RF perspective, they're extremely quiet. Of course, the lack of efficiency reveals itself in the form of heat, which necessitates the application of cooling, from a fan, often a very noisy fan. One potential source of power supply is a computer power supply unit or PSU. Before you go down that route, consider that they're intended for installation inside a case, often generate various voltages at very specific current draws and are not typically known for being RF quiet. After weighing up all the variables, I chose a laboratory grade switch mode current limiting adjustable power supply. It's set to 13.8 volt and it sits on my desk doing its thing. Rated at 1 to 15 volts at 40 ampere, it's now as old as I am in amateur radio terms, well and truly a teenager, it's also overkill, by quite a margin. Remember when I mentioned that my FT-857d is rated at drawing 22 ampere? As a QRP or low power station I typically use my transmitter set to 5 watt, but even when others use it at full power, I have never ever seen it draw more than 12 ampere. That's not to say that it can't draw 22, I've just never seen it. As a benefit of having such a massive overkill in the specifications of my power supply, I can power more than one radio and not notice. Not that they're all transmitting at the same time, or using more than 5 watt, it just doesn't matter. I previously discussed setting a standard for coax connectors in the shack, the same is true for deciding what to pick for power supply connectors. In my case I chose Anderson Powerpole connectors. Pins come in 15, 30 and 45 ampere ratings, are genderless and housings are available in many different colours. When I say genderless, it means that you can join two identical connectors. Within my shack, I use the RACES or ARES Powerpole wiring standard and every single 13.8 volt connection uses it. If I get new gear that uses some other connector, I'll cut the power supply wire in half and terminate both the power supply and the cut off cable using Powerpole connectors. That way my gear will connect to my own power supply and I'll have a universal adaptor cable when I need it. Over the years I've collected an impressive array of adaptors using this method and it's helped immensely when sharing gear with other amateurs. Word of warning, make sure you get positive and negative the right way around when you join your Powerpole connectors, and make sure that you have the red and black housings the right way around too, you can thank me later. If you do this more than a few times, I'd recommend that you spend the money on a proper crimping tool. It makes the experience So. Much. Better. To avoid many of the pitfalls of interference whilst connecting power and coax to the same radio, try hard to avoid running both in parallel, or worse, joined to each other. Instead, attempt to run them in different directions and only cross at right angles if you have to. One thing to consider is the ability to switch everything off immediately. To that end I have a power switch on my desk that isolates all power to the equipment. You'll notice that I have not said anything about grounding or earthing, that's on purpose. Your laws and mine are not the same. Similarly, information you'll find online rarely, if ever, describes the jurisdiction it applies to, so, look at your own rules and implement accordingly.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed Although Brent and Dennis will probably never again work up the gumption to attend CES, they can muster the courage to read through others' CES reports and weigh in with their own opinions. That's this week's first segment. Then they check out an article from Darko about age-related hearing loss and its relationship with audio copium, and think real hard about whether buying a $10,000 DAC is worth it if you can't hear above 12 kHz. They then take a TAS hostage video hostage and use it as a jumping-off point for a deep dive into Class G and H amp topologies.    And for Patrons: What the heck is Snyderman's Maxim? And would you want a million-dollar audio system if you could only use it to listen to “Hotel California”?  

Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that travel through a medium such as solids, liquids, or gases, carrying energy as oscillations of pressure and particle displacement. Sound waves exist in a wide range of frequencies. For humans, the audible range is 20 Hz (cycles per second) up to 20 kHz. Many animals are sensitive to other frequency ranges. Elephants are sensitive to infrasound, those vibrations below 20 Hz, while bat sensitivity extends to 200 kHz. The Greater Wax Moth detects the vibrations up to 300 kHz, helping it avoid the predatory bats. Hearing any of the mechanical frequencies requires a transducer capable of mechanically converting sound...

Many thanks to SRAA contributor Paul Walker, who shares the following field recordings of the BBC World Service on 9410 kHz made on September 19, 20, and 25, 2025 at 0458 UTC in McGrath, Alaska. Paul notes:The English feed via Ascension to West Africa operates from 05:00 to 07:00 UTC on several days in late September, featuring something rare: the carrier is switched on, followed by a brief silence and then an interval signal. This sequence occurs every time I hear this transmission sign on, but I have noticed it almost nowhere else on BBC World Service shortwave, which usually just “crash starts” and ends abruptly.

Ever wondered how a “high-efficiency” motor can start wasting energy and damaging bearings before it's even been switched on?We did too. So we tested it.Using offline motor circuit analysis alongside online motor current signature analysis, we inspected brand-new IE4 motors still sitting in their crates. What we found changed the conversation completely. Critical impedance imbalance straight out of the box. One motor already showing early winding defects before it ever saw load.That's the moment labels stop mattering and evidence takes over.This episode walks through why pairing de-energised and energised testing matters.Offline MCA tells us what's happening in the windings – contamination, resistive imbalance, insulation condition. Online MCSA, sampled at 44 kHz with serious resolution, shows us what vibration often can't: rotor bar issues, air-gap problems, electrical harmonics, inverter-driven bearing currents.In difficult environments – noisy plants, submersible pumps, generators, limited access assets – current signature analysis often gives cleaner, more repeatable insight than vibration alone. We're seeing faults that used to hide in the noise.And this isn't theory. Across 750+ motors tested in the field, we see a clear link between impedance imbalance and winding health:• 15% – criticalThat gives teams something powerful: defensible alarm limits and a simple acceptance test that stops bad assets entering the plant.There's a practical win too. On one motor we reduced resistive imbalance from over 30% down to around 3.8% just by cleaning and correctly torquing the terminations. Test. Fix. Retest. Immediate improvement.The real gains come when sites take this seriously: Acceptance testing written into purchase orders. Evidence required from the factory. Faults confirmed using at least two technologies.That's how you reduce energy loss, prevent shaft currents from destroying bearings, and turn condition monitoring into real reliability improvements – not reports that sit on a shelf.If uptime matters. If energy efficiency matters. If you want better decisions with less noise and less drama.This episode shows the path: measure what matters, set your own standards, verify the fix, and keep learning.Enjoy the episode. If it helps you rethink your motor strategy, subscribe, share it with a teammate, and drop a quick review with your biggest testing win or surprise.Support the show

Way back in 2015, the World Radio Conference allocated a worldwide ham radio band at 60 Meters. Here in the US we are finally getting that band. A whopping 15 kHz wide, with Phone, RTTY, data and CW permitted, and a whole 9.15 Watts ERP power limit.Of course, we've had 5 descrete ‘channels' available on 60 for 23 years, initially for USB only, and later adding CW and data modes. One of those channels is in the middle of that new allocation, and it ‘disappears' into the new band. But we keep the other four, at their cuttent 100 Watts ERP.In this episode, hosts David W0DHG and Gary K4AAQ (eventually) discuss the details of the new band. Gary reviews some of the history, including several HRN programs tracing the inception and progressof the band. Find the programs in this HamRadioNow Playliston our YouTube channel.The band becomes available 30 days after the new rules are published in the Federal Register.Oh, and yeah, Gary had the wrong episode number. We docked his pay.

De TP-7 van het Zweedse Teenage Engineering is een draagbare audio-recorder die zich lastig laat vangen in één categorie. Het apparaat is bedoeld voor spraakopnames, interviews, memo’s en field recording, maar flirt tegelijk nadrukkelijk met de wereld van muziek en performance. Dat past bij het bedrijf erachter. Teenage Engineering werd in 2005 opgericht door Jesper Houthoofd en David Mollerstedt en bouwde een reputatie op met iconische, minimalistisch vormgegeven muziekgadgets zoals de OP-1. Design en eenvoud staan daarbij altijd centraal, maar wel tegen een stevige prijs. Die filosofie zie je direct terug in de TP-7. Het apparaat is gemaakt van aluminium, heeft een opvallend groot draaiwiel en een klein, sober scherm. De bediening is extreem minimalistisch: geen knoppenrijen of uitgebreide menu’s, maar vrijwel alles loopt via dat ene wiel. Dat oogt rustig en doordacht, maar suggereert ook een eenvoud die in de praktijk niet altijd klopt. Qua opnamekwaliteit stelt de TP-7 niet teleur. Hij beschikt over een goede interne microfoon en een ingebouwde audiocompressor. Opnames klinken duidelijk beter dan wat je gemiddeld met een smartphone vastlegt, al blijft het verschil beperkt. Voor serieuzer werk is het aansluiten van externe microfoons eigenlijk onmisbaar. Opnemen kan tot 96 kHz, met 128 GB interne opslag en een batterijduur van ongeveer zeven uur. Via drie jack-aansluitingen kun je externe apparaten koppelen. Teenage Engineering richt zich met de TP-7 onder meer op journalisten en makers. In de praktijk zijn er slimme details, zoals het tijdelijk pauzeren van een opname door het draaiwiel vast te houden tijdens een interview. Tegelijk voelt het apparaat soms te abstract. Juist door de extreme eenvoud is er een leercurve, en denk je regelmatig: dit gaat sneller op een ander apparaat. Om dat te testen is ook een muzikant gevraagd om ermee te werken: Fump.ie. Die liet zien hoe creatief je met de TP-7 kunt zijn, maar was kritisch: het luxe ontwerp maakt je voorzichtig, waardoor je ’m minder snel meeneemt. En dat is juist waar hij voor bedoeld is. Het maakt je dus minder creatief dan je wil zijn. Met een prijs van 1500 euro, zonder accessoires zoals een hoesje, positioneert de TP-7 zich duidelijk als luxe gadget. Voor liefhebbers van design en experiment is het een intrigerend apparaat. Voor praktisch dagelijks gebruik blijft de vraag of die elegantie ook echt iets toevoegt.

What if the fastest way to a better mix is caring more about the human, the song, and the signal path than the plugin chain? We pulled seven moments from our 2025 conversations that changed how we write, record, mix, and master, and stitched them into one practical, heart-first guide you can use on your next session.We start where great records begin: with the singer. Rich Bozic, a professional vocal coach, shares why physical comfort is essential for sound design, encompassing layers, a calm seat, a dialled-in headphone mix, and planned breathers to manage fatigue. Then we zoom out with Dan Giffin, who reminds us that composition beats the perfect kick. His three-touch rule snaps you out of tweak loops and keeps momentum high, while a top-down approach to mixing preserves the vibe you loved in production.Next we clean up the myths around digital audio with Ian Stewart's crystal-clear take on sample rate and the Nyquist theorem. You will understand why 48 kHz often hits the sweet spot for modern workflows, how aliasing and imaging appear, and when oversampling actually matters. We carry that clarity into big, emotive mixes with Drum X Wave and Brian Skeel: translate vision to buses first, let guitars and synths complement rather than collide, and make size breathe with arrangement, not brute force.We also unpack the creative blind spots Michael Oakley calls out, how you can become “noseblind” to your own work and why feedback before the third rewrite can save songs. And we wrap with Eric Mitchell on mastering restraint: distortion as salt, not a main course. A little saturation wakes the record; too much smears it. Forget the viral “crank it” tips and listen for blur as much as for bite.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to E194Listen to E181Listen to E203Listen to E215Listen to E207Listen to E188Listen to E182Send me a messageSupport the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

HMCS margaret Brooke off rothera station during the canadian antarctic science research expedition on March 15, 2025 (Courtesy of Dr. kevin wilcox) A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2025 beginning at 21:30 UTC.The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews and which celebrated the 70th anniversary of the first BBC broadcast to Antarctica, featured messages and music for the members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there was a message from Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS, who highlighted the construction of the Discovery Building at Rothera, and a very special message from King Charles III, a first for a monarch, highlighting climate change. He said "Each observation, measurement and calculation you undertake adds to the world's understanding of the Earth's fragile systems."The recording is of the transmission on 12065 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The broadcast was received by the Web-interface wideband software-defined radio at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, with a "Mini-Whip" antenna in AM synchronous mode with 5.08 kHz RF filtering. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 5960 kHz from Al'Dhabbaya, United Arab Emirates, and 9575 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 12065 kHz.

The Thompson Show – October 24, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz) Todd closes the curtain on The Thompson Show's shortwave era with a defiant, reflective, and emotionally charged finale. After months on WWCR's legendary 4840 kHz frequency, he signs off with a sweeping critique of modern politics, a warning about human nature, and a reminder of what made the show—and shortwave itself—worth keeping alive.

Pulsa en el enlace. https://go.ivoox.com/wv/premios25 El episodio se sumerge en los archivos más perturbadores de la radio mexicana paranormal, revisando algunos de los testimonios más recordados y debatidos en la historia de La Mano Peluda y su antecesor, La Mano Pachona. Abre con una declaración de intenciones: la eterna lucha entre la necesidad de creer y la inevitable duda del escéptico. A través de cuatro casos emblemáticos, el programa reconstruye momentos que marcaron a toda una generación de oyentes entre los años 1995 y 2014, cuando México vivía una auténtica fiebre por la radio nocturna de misterio. El Caso Josué El joven Josué Velázquez, residente en California, afirmó haber realizado un pacto satánico. Su conversación con Juan Ramón Sáenz en 2002 es una de las más célebres de la radio esotérica. Años después, en 2011, durante una reunión televisiva con el mismo conductor, ocurrieron hechos extraños: el cámara sufrió una hernia repentina, el investigador Mario Estrada tuvo un grave accidente y Sáenz murió el 29 de mayo de 2011 de peritonitis aguda. Hoy, Josué ejerce como pastor en Puerto Rico. El caso abrió un debate aún vivo: ¿coincidencia o consecuencia? 2. El Niño Reencarnado de Sierra Fría (2014) Alejandro Javier Álvarez, de Guanajuato, llamó al programa conducido por Rubén García Castillo para contar la historia de su hijo Álex, quien aseguraba recordar una vida anterior en Sierra Fría, Aguascalientes, donde habría vivido entre 1898 y 1926. El menor describía lugares y costumbres imposibles para su edad. Psicólogos no hallaron explicación. El niño finalmente se negó a seguir hablando del tema, dejando tras de sí un testimonio que desafía a la ciencia. 3. La Radio Rusa – UVB-76 (1980s–actualidad) Se analiza la misteriosa frecuencia de 4625 kHz, conocida como “The Buzzer” o UVB-76, activa desde hace más de 35 años en Rusia. Transmite un zumbido constante interrumpido por voces que recitan palabras sin sentido aparente. Aunque se cree que es una frecuencia militar, jamás ha sido reconocida oficialmente. El relato describe su inquietante ambiente y su posible relación con protocolos de guerra nuclear. Un misterio real, documentado y todavía vigente. 4. El Caso Clarita (1995) Transmitido en La Mano Pachona, el antecedente directo de La Mano Peluda, conducido por Víctor Manuel Barrios Mata, esta llamada estremeció a todo México. Una mujer llamada Clarita narró cómo su hijo de 15 años, tras usar una ouija, comenzó a mostrar poderes paranormales, levitaciones y cambios físicos inexplicables. La desesperación real en su voz marcó un antes y un después. Tras esa noche, se reportaron fenómenos en el estudio: mesas que se movían, luces que parpadeaban y empleados que renunciaron. Nunca se volvió a saber de Clarita ni de su hijo. Queremos creer… pero cuando lo vimos de primera mano, dudamos. Cada caso se apoya en registros reales, transmisiones, fechas y nombres verificables, pero sus consecuencias y fenómenos escapan a la verificación empírica. Por eso, el programa mantiene una tensión constante entre razón y fe. El Caso Josué es probablemente el más documentado y, a la vez, el más controvertido. La muerte de Juan Ramón Sáenz ocurrió realmente en las fechas y condiciones mencionadas, aunque no existe evidencia médica que vincule su fallecimiento con causas sobrenaturales. El Caso Clarita, por su parte, es un clásico de la radio mexicana, y aunque no se conserva grabación completa ni registro verificable de la mujer, miles de oyentes atestiguan haberlo escuchado. El Niño de Sierra Fría mezcla tradición mexicana de reencarnación y espiritualismo con testimonios actuales, pero sin documentación externa que lo respalde.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radiodiffusion du Dahomey, Circa 1971Frequency: 4.870 MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaNotes: Prior to 1975, the country of Benin in West Africa was called Dahomey. This recording, made in 1971, is Radiodiffusion du Dahomey in Cotonou signing off for the day. While the signal level on 4870 kHz is only fair at best, the announcement in French can be heard giving frequency information followed by "Ici Cotonou, Radiodiffusion du Dahomey" just before the end of the recording. Reception location was Ancaster, Ontario, Canada and equipment used was a Hallicrafters S-52 and a long wire antenna. Also attached is a short recording from the 1990's of Radiodiffusion Nationale du Benin in French with a voice announcement and ID just prior to sign off. Also on 4870 kHz, but using a Panasonic RF-3100 receiver and a long wire antenna in Thamesford, Ontario, Canada.

Sappalot schon 21 Uhr und keine Sau hat den Ankündigungstext geschrieben. Bleibt also AUCH DAS an mir hängen. Danke Merkel. Danke Schmitti. Danke Klaas. Danke Jakob. Also die Folge „Ist der Prominente flutschig?“ weist einen sauberen Headroom von etwa -3 dBFS auf, keine Clippings. Der Dynamikumfang liegt bei rund 14 LUFs, was diese Folge sehr natürlich wirken lässt. Das untere Mittenband um 250 Hz ist leicht überbetont, wodurch die Mischung etwas mulmig wirkt. Die Höhen oberhalb 10 kHz sind klar, aber minimal harsch bei Sibilanten. Das Stereobild ist gut definiert, mit stabiler Phantommitte. Der Raumanteil ist angenehm dezent, könnte aber etwas mehr Tiefe vertragen. Ansonsten ist Schmitti wohl wie ein Allwetterreifen. Klaas besucht bald einen Clownerie Workshop und Jakob erklärt warum manche Promis erst flutschig gemacht werden, obwohl sie sich aber ca. 8 min später wieder zu verpissen haben. Also hört diese Folge „Baywatch Berlin“. Ich kann nur sagen auch wenn die Hauptmikrofonierung etwas zu nah wirkt, bleibt das Rauschniveau aber unauffällig. Euer Tonmann Pfeife.

What does a true wall of sound feel like when the vocal still breathes? We sit down with vocalist‑producer Jay Cali (DRUMxWAVE) and mixer‑producer Brian Skeel to unpack the craft behind Severed, big drums, widescreen synths, supportive guitars, and why clarity starts with a shared vision before a single plug‑in loads.We trace the journey from demo to master, beginning with an hour of alignment on emotion, references, and the “mountaintop” vocal image that sets every downstream choice. Brian breaks down how he builds commanding vocals without harshness: Revoice for doubles and harmonies that behave like real performances, meticulous cleanup, Slate's processing for character and control, FabFilter DS for precision, and a touch of L1 to pin dynamics so automation can shape arcs. Width becomes a dynamic fader, verses intimate and centred, choruses opening with MicroShift for that lift you feel more than hear. Jay and Brian also reveal the “demon” breakdown: a vocoder moment sculpted with Baby Audio's Humanoid, tamed by Soothe 2 and widened just enough to shock, then glide.If you've ever struggled to pair synths and guitars, you'll get a clear playbook. Guitars serve aggression rather than steal focus, panned L/R and low‑passed to make way for hi‑hats and vocal air. Synth choices lean on Serum 2 and ANA 2, with patches picked for fit, not flash. The top end gets the same discipline as the low: cut clutter above 10 kHz so the mix doesn't fizz, a lesson that came into focus after upgrading monitors and hearing what the old room hid. And for loudness without lifelessness - around −7.8 LUFS - Brian details a reference‑driven, top‑down chain using Metric AB, soft clipping and bus moves to reduce limiter strain, and focused multiband to keep choruses powerful without pumping.Along the way, you'll pick up collaboration habits that save weeks: arrive with a concise brief and references, label stems to spec, and send specific revision notes. Ready to test it? Grab one current track with guitars, synths, and vocals. Try widening only the chorus vocal and low‑passing rhythm guitars until the breath returns. Hear the space? That's what loud and open can sound like. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend who mixes dense productions, and leave a quick review so more producers can find these deep dives.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow DRUMxWAVEFollow Brian SkeelListen to Chroma CloudSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Download your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

The Thompson Show – October 3, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz) Todd's back at the mic for the October 3rd edition of The Thompson Show, broadcasting across America and Europe on WWCR 4840 kHz. This week's episode mixes satire, political commentary, and a few sharp cultural dissections, all delivered in Todd's trademark counter-revolutionary style. • Government Shutdown Theater Washington's annual act returns, with both parties playing their roles in the same tired production. Todd explains why the latest standoff is less about governing than survival theater, and why the Democrats' “resistance strategy” has become a desperate act of self-preservation. • The Mormon Shooting and Real Compassion After a gunman attacks a Mormon church in Michigan, Todd recounts the astonishing response: Mormons raising $250,000 not for victims, but for the shooter's family. A meditation on grace, empathy, and walking the walk in an era obsessed with moral posturing. • Greta Thunberg: Celebrity Messiah Complex Greta's second “aid flotilla” to Gaza ends the same way as her first: in Israeli custody. Todd unloads on the global activist machine that turned a scowling teenager into a professional saint, arguing that Thunberg has become the Paris Hilton of protest culture. • Media Circus: Kimmel, Stern, and Manufactured Outrage From Jimmy Kimmel's “suspension” to Howard Stern's contract-renewal drama, Todd exposes how cancellation has become a marketing tool; outrage as advertising, victimhood as PR. • NPR's Political-Violence Poll A new NPR/Marist poll quietly reveals that support for political violence has skyrocketed, especially among Democrats. Todd breaks down the numbers and the implications for a society sleepwalking toward civil fracture. • Coming Next Week: Digital ID & Social Credit A preview of next week's deep-dive into Europe's expanding Digital ID systems, a warning about the creeping convergence of surveillance, censorship, and social-credit control under the guise of “safety” and “accountability.” The Thompson Show airs Fridays at 11 p.m. Central / Midnight Eastern on WWCR 4840 kHz, Nashville Tennessee USA, and is available afterward on all major podcast platforms under The Toddzilla X-Pod.

Can a democracy defend itself without destroying the freedoms that define it? Todd explores the collapse of free speech into spectacle, the lure of censorship and strongmen, and what happens when citizens start begging for order over liberty. - This week on The Thompson Show (WWCR), Todd rips into the hypocrisy of cancel culture, collapsing media institutions, and the dangerous slide from free speech to approved (licensed) speech. From Kimmel's suspension to the killings of Charlie Kirk and the Ukrainian woman in Charlotte, this episode asks whether free speech has now become the insurgent-weapon-of-choice aimed at liberal democracy itself? If so, can a free society defend itself without dismantling the freedoms that define it? Drawing on Walter Lippmann's century-old warning about propaganda, "special pleading" and the “hullabaloo of sophistry,” Todd dissects how algorithmic media, tribal militias, and weaponized outrage are pushing citizens to beg for censors or Caesars. At stake is more than free speech. Can open societies can survive the assault of illiberal forces without becoming illiberal themselves? (hint: it's still the people) Fight algorithmic totalitarianism! Rate, Review, and Share!  Broadcast Info:

Toddzilla X-Pod #171 Recorded Sept 17, 2025 In this spontaneous and gloriously unmapped episode, Todd takes stock of a country whose fabric is visibly fraying and reaction has become the story. He opens with the online ghoulishness around Charlie Kirk's killing and the equal-and-opposite counter-reaction: firings and public consequences for people who cheered it on. The line he draws is clear: speech is free; consequences aren't, but the state must stay out of it. (He calls out attempts to criminalize awful speech, noting the backlash from the right against that idea.) From there he unpacks why debate keeps collapsing. Using campus showdowns as examples and borrowing from Jonathan Haidt's “elephant and rider” model, Todd argues that many disputes start with a snap emotive conclusion and then invent reasons to justify it. When the rationalizations run out, the insults start. That feeds a broader doctrine, “words are violence”, which quietly normalizes physical confrontation by redefining speech as a violent assault. Finally, Todd examines why the cancel-culture boomerang snapped back this week, warns against turning subjective “hate speech” into a government weapon that will eventually change hands, and returns to a recurring theme: social media as the staging ground of a civil war. Finally, a familiar concept gets a new name: The Matrix Mind. Bodies live in the real world; minds live in the feed. When we reduce people to avatars, it becomes easier to treat speech as violence — and to answer it with the real thing. Unfiltered, candid, and uncomfortable by design.   Subscribe, review, rate, SHARE!! Algorithms suck.

Narratives > facts. Todd Thompson dissects the reaction to Charlie Kirk's killing, the UK's massive Unite the Kingdom march, and a new frontier: identity-based “self-defense” militia groups moving from slogans to weapons. When speech is spun as violence, dialogue, then people, die. -- Broadcast on WBCQ 7490 kHz (Sept 15, 2025, 10 p.m. ET), Todd Thompson takes on a week where storylines outran facts. He starts with the media spin surrounding the UK's Unite the Kingdom marches and the online chaos after Charlie Kirk's killing—noting how even basic details now fracture along partisan lines. From there, the episode tackles the asinine “words are violence” doctrine and why it normalizes deadly confrontation. Todd examines public materials and reporting around Armed Queers of Salt Lake City—a self-described socialist, anti-capitalist collective that promotes “queer resistance.” Posters featuring rifles, militant rhetoric, and campus events have circulated widely; as of broadcast, there was no confirmed official link to the Utah shooter, and Todd makes the larger point: once identity politics moves from slogans to weapons, taboos disintegrate and copycats follow. Closer to home, he touches on a ridiculous incident in Kalamazoo where an Office Depot "manager" refused to print a Charlie Kirk vigil poster and was promptly fired; an emblem of the cancel-culture boomerang finally, and predictably, striking in the opposite direction. The through-line is trust: collapsing institutions, informational anarchy with incompatible “truths,” and a culture that can't even agree on what happened five minutes ago. Blunt and unfiltered, the broadcast argues that dialogue only works if both sides still want a country to share. When moral certitude replaces inquiry, and institutions reward loyalty over facts, tribes do what tribes have always done. Subscribe, rate, review, and share! 

On Charlie Kirk's assassination, media bias, and the unraveling of American unity. Candid, challenging, and unfiltered.. Broadcast September 12, 2025, on WWCR 4840 kHz, this episode confronts one of the most volatile weeks in recent memory. Thompson examines the murder of Charlie Kirk, the killing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, and the selective coverage (and outrage) that followed. Together, these stories reveal how far the boundaries of political discourse have collapsed and how normalized violence has become in a fractured culture. Todd explores the deeper pattern: how identity politics has replaced shared citizenship, how media narratives are weaponized to excuse or inflame, and how the political class falls back on stale platitudes about “lowering the rhetoric” while the fire continues to spread. The episode also briefly connects to foreign influence strategies, where outside actors and digital platforms amplify division rather than heal it. Todd closes with reflections on the anniversary of September 11th. He contrasts the fleeting unity of 2001, when flags flew in every neighborhood and the idea of America still bound people together, with the rabid tribalism of today. The question is no longer how to recover unity, but whether unity is even possible in a culture where grievance trumps allegiance. The conclusion is blunt and unsparing: America's “Humpty Dumpty” has fallen, and no amount of political spin can put it back together again. What remains is the fight over how people will live inside the fracture and whether patriotism can still serve as a bond strong enough to resist collapse.   Not surprisingly, this podcast and The Holy Algorithm are bitter enemies! Rate, review, and share, please!  

Broadcast September 8, 2025, on WBCQ shortwave (7490 kHz), this episode challenges the idea that human beings are “blank slates.” Todd Thompson argues that much of what is labeled racism is better understood as cultural and tribal reflex — instincts wired by evolution, not just products of environment. Drawing on research by primatologist Frans de Waal, Todd shows how empathy, loyalty, and group boundaries appear in chimpanzees and humans alike. These instincts shape culture and survival, and when they're ignored or denied, societies fracture. From Rwanda and Yugoslavia to American Indians to today's unrest in Europe and the United States, history demonstrates the cost of refusing to acknowledge human nature. The broadcast also explores Cold War lessons. Former KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov described a four-stage strategy of subversion: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. While he was speaking in the 1980s, the pattern is recognizable today. Modern influence campaigns no longer need spies in every institution — social media amplifies divisions at the speed of light. Every divisive slogan, every cultural flashpoint becomes a lever. The final segment turns to today's grassroots pushback. In Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, and even Australia, ordinary citizens are reclaiming their flags and cultural identity. These aren't marches for empire, but local communities refusing to surrender their way of life. Todd argues that what's dismissed as extremism is more often people defending memory, tradition, and cohesion. The conclusion is clear: tribes that fail to rise above internal fracture are replaced by those that can. In practice, the broadest “tribe” available is the nation itself. Patriotism — allegiance to country above grievance — remains the only force strong enough to resist both ideological pressure and foreign manipulation. And as Todd reminds listeners, we are not heirs to apology but to resilience; descendants of people who endured unimaginable hardships fighting to build our nation out of nothing.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy McCool, founder and CEO of HEVO, a company building wireless charging systems for electric vehicles. Think of a garage-floor charging pad—pull in, align, and your car charges automatically. HEVO has been solving the physics, standards and automotive integration work for over a decade, and now stands at the front line of commercial adoption.HEVO is underway with two major global automakers, including Stellantis (Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Peugeot, and more), to integrate wireless charging into up to seven EV platforms beginning 2027–2028. This isn't a small bolt-on—the company has achieved UL certification and alignment with SAE wireless charging standards, clearing essential hurdles for true automotive-grade integration.Beyond the OEM opportunity, HEVO is partnering with Steer Tech to enable autonomous parking + wireless charging for fleet yards—a use case that eliminates manual charging attendants and enables round-the-clock operation. Wireless charging isn't just convenient—it's the missing piece for scaling autonomous fleets.HEVO's cost and efficiency discipline makes this more than a vision. The company's target pricing for on-vehicle components aims to be competitive with plug-in equipment, while the 11 kW bidirectional home charger is priced at $1,200, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) power during outages. With grid-to-battery efficiency in the low-to-mid 90%, 85 kHz universality, and a 12-inch air gap tolerance, HEVO is designed for scale.The most striking part: once an OEM launches, the curve goes from flat to 50,000+ units in year one—across multiple vehicle programs. HEVO expects to be profitable on hardware and software at volume from day one of scaling production.

*When memory collides with myth and borders refuse to disappear.* This week's broadcast cuts through nostalgia, mythology, and manipulation — from the reality of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath to the performance art of political protest, and Europe's current struggles with borders and "shifting populations." Todd weaves firsthand accounts with sharp cultural critique to show how old wounds and new delusions collide. Revisiting the legacy of Hurricane Katrina: lived experience vs. media spectacle. “Moonbeam” politics — when activism becomes performance instead of substance. Europe's modern turmoil: "shifting populations", cultural assimilation, and "renewed identity politics." The dangers of ideological cosplay and self-mythologizing movements. Why remembering the past without illusions matters for navigating the present

In thie episode of The Thompson Show, Todd traces the Red–Green Alliance from London to Minneapolis — exposing how Marxists and Islamists fuse identity politics, anti-Western rhetoric, and insurgent tactics into a permanent political front. Broadcast August 25, 2025 (WBCQ 7490 kHz), this episode takes a deep dive into the Red–Green Alliance — the unofficial but very real cooperation between far-left revolutionaries and Islamist movements. Todd unpacks how this alliance has played out in Europe and America: In England: from Ken Livingstone welcoming Muslim Brotherhood clerics into City Hall, to the Respect Party's fusion of Trotskyists and Islamist activists, to Jeremy Corbyn calling Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends.” These examples show how segments of the British Left traded legitimacy to Islamists in exchange for turnout and street power. On campuses and in media: post-colonial narratives reframed Islamist extremists as victims, while far-left academics embraced “decolonizing knowledge” and dismissed facts as tools of Western domination. In France: activists openly strategize about building “Muslim communist cadres,” treating mosques as political cells — a clear blueprint for how the Red–Green project embeds itself. In the U.S.: Minneapolis emerges as a revolutionary laboratory — from BLM protests to Ilhan Omar's megaphone, from refugee demographics to DSA insurgents like Omar Fateh. Todd dissects how every loss becomes “proof of rigging,” every setback becomes martyrdom fuel, and how DSA uses Democratic Party infrastructure as a Trojan horse. The episode also examines the limits of fusion: how clerics always outlast Marxist activists, why experiments in “Christian socialism” risk repeating the Jim Jones disaster, and how the Democratic Socialists of America fuse Palestinian solidarity with domestic insurgency. Todd's warning is clear: this is not ordinary politics. It is an insurgency hidden inside institutions, weaponizing identity grievance and class agitation against Western civilization itself.

COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute.

copyright NDR Live, off-air, three-hour recording of the special annual Gruss an Bord program from German broadcaster NDR, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, on 24 December 2024 with an introductory "warm-up" segment beginning shortly after 18:00 UTC with Gruss an Bord itself starting at 19:00 UTC. The "warm-up segment" featured reports on seafaring, its economic relevance, and everyday life at sea. Gruss an Bord features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at an event in Hamburg. Unlike for the past several years, there was no event in Leer.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Hamburg event was recorded on 8 December in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club and was hosted by Birgit Langhammer and Ocke Bandixen. Music was provided by the Swedish-South African duo "Fjarill." The broadcast was primarily in German with some greetings in other languages.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters at Nauen, Germany; Moosbrunn, Austria; Issoudun, France; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida, U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The frequencies (kHz) were: 6030 (via Issoudun) for the Northeast Atlantic, 6080 (via Tashkent) for Europe, 9635 (via Moosbrunn) for the Indian Ocean,11650 (via Issoudun) for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, 13830 (via Nauen) for the Southern Atlantic, and15770 (via Okeechobee) for the Northwest AtlanticThe "warm-up" segment was not carried on the NDR Info Spezial network, which broadcast the children's program Mikado instead. And as the Moosbrunn transmitter took the feed from the NDR Info Spezial network, the "warm-up" segment didn't go out on this shortwave transmitter.The recording is of the transmission on the frequency of 11650 kHz for the full three hours.The program was received outdoors on a Belka-DX receiver in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with a bandwidth of 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. Reception was fairly good for the most part with a bit of noise at times.
