Why AM radio stations goes far away in the nigiht?

February 14, 2010 - 3:37 pm 6 Comments

During the day I can listen only to local AM radio stations. During the night even radio from other countries.
Why?

Note.
I am asking about medium wave radio not short wave radio.

There are a couple of different layers of the ionosphere in play here. The lower layer, called the D layer, tends of absorb radio signals during the day. At night, the Sun is gone and the ionization of this layer ceases. The D layer disappears and signals can pass higher up to layers that refract, rather than absorb signals like the E or F layers.

During the day, MF sky wave prorogation is absorbed and you can only get signals via ground wave propagation. At night, you get the sky wave.

Is it possible to transmit a wireless audio signal from my computer to portable radios elsewhere in my house?

I frequently listen to internet radio. This can be linked up by audio sender from the dining room computer to the aux socket on the lounge HiFi, and could also possibly be heard elsewhere in the house by purchasing dedicated internet radio receivers utilising our wireless broadband connection.
It would therfore appear to be far more cost effective and less restricting if this signal could instead be transmitted via FM in some way to my existing portable radios. Is it possible to utilise and adapt the new MP3/FM car transmitters for this purpose, or is there some other simple means of achieving this?

yes fm wireless transmitter… up to 50-60 yards it works adjustable fm transmitter from 88.0 to 107.0

I won tickets for my sister to go see Britney Spears this March by calling in a radio station and naming the 5 songs they played. She is planning to buy extra tickets because she doesnt know if the ones I won from the radio station are good seats. Does anyone know? Anyone with expirience?

I had a friend who won tix twice and took me (Dave Matthews Band and 311), we had really good seats at both shows.

Can you use the itunes radio stations as background sound for youtube videos?

February 11, 2010 - 10:06 pm 1 Comment

I want to make a series of youtube videos but I don’t want to go around finding several copyright free songs for each one. If I just let the radio from itunes play in the background while I speak, will that be copyright-free?

I mean the radio stations ARE free so it SHOULD be ok, you’d think?

Nope. Radio stations obtain the right by the copyright owners of the music to play it. As long as you record and use a section of radio play that has a copyrighted song playing, you are still committing infringement. Not only that, you’re now probably infringing on the radio station unless you get permission from them ALSO, to use their broadcasts.

In my most subtle, non-crime-endorsing opinion, I find it easier to just say screw it and upload whatever. If it gets deleted, oh well. Life goes on.
