While I await to purchase a new shortwave radio next week, I used a hack to program my Radio Shack P-95 radio scanner to pick up shortwave broadcast. Sad to say, the PRO-95 hack will only pick up signals above 17mhz. The rubber duck antenna barely works in this frequency range so I hooked up 60 foot of copper wire along my fence and hooked it up to the antenna plug. Here is a log of what I listened to.

17435 - Spanish number station (very strong)

I'm the kind of hombre who enjoys to seek radical stuff. Presently I am fabricating my personal photovoltaic panels. I'm making it all alone without the assistance of my staff. I am using the net as the only way to acheive that. I came across a really awesome website that explains how to create pv panels and so on. The website explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I'm not exactly sure bout how correct the information given there iz. If some experts over here who have xp with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the page it would be grand and I'd extremely treasure it, cauze I extremely would love to try solar panel construction.
Thanks for reading this. You people rock.
