Hi Peter and all,
I never heard of an Oshello radio but this is New Jersey where even
Grundig was rare. I remember W2RXR Jim's mom had the classic AM/FM/SW
pushbutton model on a kitchen counter, we rather used his NC-300
upstairs. That was a beast, I had a devil of a time with it particularly
trying to tune in SSB, my NC-303 was SO much better and the AGC mod the
engineers at Bell Labs (now Lucent Technologies) came up with was the
icing on the cake. I miss my old boat anchor but it had to go when I
moved and downsized so I sold it and UPS destroyed it. (:-<)
I can't seem to coax any info on the BBC pirates out of the UK for some
reason and Ian is about a month behind in his replies, oh well. I barely
remember it but it has to do with a portable LPFM transmitter
overpowering an STL at one of the transmitter sites. It was a very
special sort of combat manpack radio. (;->) So, someone hijacked an STL
for a Chicago TV station huh? LOL!!! That reminds me of the time Captain
Midnight brefly hijacked the HBO satellite uplink, not hard to do when
you light up the bird with a brighter torch.
