Well I have spent the weekend being a huge nerd...
I finally got my PSK31 stuff setup so I can carry on a conversation digitally over the 10 meter band (As a technician I can use 28.000 - 28.300 MHz for data and 28.300 - 28.500 MHz voice )...
So after that I decided I would get out my DVB-T dongle (digital TV in other countries) which doubles as a SDR (Software Defined Radio). These dongles go for like $30 max on eBay and can receive from 24 MHz all the way up to 1700 MHz...pretty much the scope of my discone antenna.
After I got the software setup and the coax cable made up been pretty happy with the results... Can pick up radio stations 80 miles away and get RDS data
