K1FRC Amateur Radio Online

CURRENT SOLAR CONDITIONS

 

Weekend Programming…

Includes some music and syndication. The reason for this is that I haven’t inserted the code yet that will automatically take the “aux in” in automation and then shut it off (I believe these would be called “contact closures” in the days of tape decks and actual hardware automation) in time to air the few shows that go from this studio to the various commercial radio stations I broadcast to. This may be fixed in the coming weeks. Saturday programming goes to music at 4 pm and returns to Amateur Radio programming around 10pm Eastern (UTC +4)

 

 

^{K1FRC STREAMING LIVE PLAYER}

The streaming audio you hear is from one of the transceivers in the K1FRC Shack. I’m using an Icom IC-7610. The antennas are a Hustler Trap Vertical for 40, 20, 15, 10 and 6 meters, and a Diamond Vertical resonant on all HF bands including 160 meters. Depending upon which band the rig is tuned to, one of those two antennas will be used. Also in the shack soon to be connected into the audio board (for the internet radio stream) is a Yaesu FT-DX10, operating with an end-fed longwire, although the wire antenna configuration changes often, whenever I have another idea for a better-propagating horizontal antenna.

The computer used for audio (and this website) is an HP Pavilion with 12 gigs of RAM, two internal and two external hard drives with a total of 8 TB of storage capacity! This system also hosts HitOldies.net (our longtime Oldies station, playing the hits of the 60s through the early 90s), and its the home of the legacy website, Airchexx.com.
