 Thanks Mano -
 
 I had sent a note to the list many months ago envisioning
 an HF
 Trailer but never had any volunteers...so we'd love to
 incorporate
 your idea in the plans for 2012.
 
 Not sure, given the reinforced concrete construction, if
 the wire
 strung between balconies would be affected.
 
 Thanks for the input - We'll put it in the idea jar -
 around
 September / October I'll leave myself a reminder to follow
 up with you
 on this.
 
 We tend to go dormant from a Fest planning perspective from
 April
 through mid-September, because that's when schedules and
 plans try to
 firm up.

  Yes, not having an antenna pretty much took the SW out
 of the SWL Fest. If nothing else works, I am happy to set up
 a HF listening trailer in the parking lot with a balloon
 antenna or two. It will be warm with electricity, internet,
 coffee and micro-brew. On the Sunday afternoon there could
 be a trip to a nearby state park to setup a beverage antenna
 for a more deeper listening session.
 
  The balloon antenna idea or stringing a longwire
 between the balconies in the hotel atrium are other viable
 ideas to explore, if the  management will lets us...

  Hi Guys a quick note before I dash
  out--is it possible if we return to
  the same hotel next year they would be more open
 to having
  antennas set
  up, and Tracy putting his sat dish on the roof
 (maybe the
  hotel was
  going to see what kind of guests we would be?)
 
  How about an extra day next year for the 25th like
 what was
  done for the
  20th?

So is it possible to tap into community antenna? I will be bring a splitter,

Frontdesk tells me the windows can be opened only in the Presdential Suites?

Re: [Swlfest] [Internetradio] SIGINT CHATTER: Radio Moscow and the Cold War

[Mano Guha]

Thanks John for this nugget!

I saw their swank studios last in the NYC office tower (old city hall?) with 
the golden statue on top. I used to work for NYCTV two floors above which 
looked down on the new City Hall. Michael Bloomberg was the mayor then. WNYC 
also shared transmitters with WNYE radio located atop the Empire State 
Building, sometimes fed by an FM LPT in Brooklyn.

Alas, WYNE has been defunct for a while, with their old TV studios in Brooklyn, 
not far from the iconic bridge. The haunted building was torn down and a high 
rise in its place, with condos I believe :(

Brings back memories, mostly good, some bad.

I for one would love to welcome Arnie Coro to the SWL Fest via Zoom. Many years 
ago, he facilitated my visit to Radio Havana which was a memorable one. With 
the changing political landscape, we should be able to invite him to the fest 
in the coming years.

Re: [Swlfest] Update to 34th Winter SWL Fest Schedule!

[Mano Guha]

Dear Festers,

2022 is too far away and I am not holding my breath. Like any professional 
hobby group, these chats shud be weekly or bi-weekly, perhaps under the aegis 
of NASWA? The regional clubs could also take turns hosting them with global 
participation. With virtual meets we have a great opportunity to up our game a 
bit :) We lament the demise to shortwave listening, but do little to make it 
popular. 

Besides the Flea Market, The Hospitality Room is the other thing I have come to 
miss in my years of non-attendance. For my last event, the local liquor shop 
pitched in with half a keg of Yuengling Lager, courtesy a neighbor who works in 
the beverage industry. For some reason, YLL is cheaper in CT than in PA. 

Anyways, my company specializes in enabling broadcast quality audio and video 
streams, especially for the technologically and socially disadvantaged. So I am 
more than happy to help out to anyone to cannot get on to the forums.

I am willing to pay the registration fee for SWLs, who don’t have access to 
Paypal or cannot afford to, to do my own bit. The FestMeisters have been 
generous in helping me out with registration fees in the past, so it is time I 
returned the favor.

Cheers,
Mano

Re: [Swlfest] Update to 34th Winter SWL Fest Schedule!

[Mano Guha]

1. How about a hands on workshop on tinkering:
- renovating a Grunding Satellit 650 or Drake SPR4 or JRC NRD 525
- building effective antenna with household items aimed at apartment dwellers

2. A virtual flea market and not-so silent auction.

3. And finally firing up your own micro-watt FM transmitter and webstream, 
inviting guest DJs to play your favorite music (John Peel style), in a 
beer-laced (Yuengling Lager) BBQ! 

73s,
Mano

A forum on outdoor antennae would be nice.
Are there any plans to record the Zoom sessions? I am working that Friday, and 
would not want to miss out.
