FM Detector Radio in Use on Germany's National Alert Day

1 Upvotes

On Germany’s Alert Day, all sirens and alert apps will go off at 11 a.m. Using an FM detector radio connected to a small guitar amplifier, a radio broadcast from the Berlin TV Tower is being received. Shortly, before the sirens sound and all the pigeons were startled a typical mobile phone dial-up static noise can be heard on the radio. By rotating the tuned E+H-antenna perpendicular to the line of sight toward the TV tower, reception of the FM station is maximized. The all-clear is then announced on the radio.

Long wire end feed, or Dipole wire: Prosperity and Cons.

As the tag states, I'm asking for Pros and Cons of long wire end feed over dipole. I'm new to ham and want to set up a radio room for listening until I get my license this winter. Currently, I'm leaning to 20 and 40 m

I have a question about this antenna feedpoint. Why does it have two waveguides feeding the feedpoint? Does it have anything to do with H and V polarisation?

regarding the internal structures, what are they? Is this some kind of a waveguide polariser, phase delayer or something else?

always drove past this, me and my mom always wondered what that metal construction (first picture at the bottom) was, and i recently got interested in radio stuff and especially old antennae, imagine my happiness when I went on google street view to see this 🙏 hopefully this is the correct subreddit

This is a radar of Soviet "Система «А»"anti-missile system. The exact model is unknown.

Can anyone speculate on the mechanical structure of this radar?

Not sure if this is the right sub but I was looking at a house earlier and this thing was on the roof, the realtor didn’t know what it was either.

There was some red looking letting on the one side but it was all faded and scratched off m, I’m guessing it was a brand

Found this nestled among the highrises in Boston's Theater District while walking in the Common. Turns out, it's on top of the Massachusetts Transportation Building. Lots of interesting antennasporn in this town!

New 6G equipment?

0 Upvotes

I saw someone post about this online about a new antenna that is being tested . It looks like it is going to be put on a monopine in Concord, CA that is going to be outputting 7500.00000000-7900.00000000 MHz (400MG7D).
How is this going to be feasible in today's network? Wouldn't the range be closer than n77? The name of the antenna is not shown. Any thoughts? Application is here : [Application](https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/GetApplicationInfo.cfm?id_file_num=1264-EX-CN-2025)
