Technical Corner / What bleeder resistor
« Last post by radionortheast on December 19, 2025, 08:42:35 am »
With a long pole as aerial you get the wind blowing can built up static, also from thunderstorms, in the loft you still get the samething happening, maybe from electrical cables.
You need a dc short connection, between the signal and ground connection, I went with a short bit of wire, the aerial looked like a jim in the end. As when tried to find out the bleeder resistor needed kind of went to ham stuff, I couldn’t find anything about the value of the resistor, or what rating they would need to be for the power.
I though i’d just ask this, just wondering if anyone knows the value of resistor, maybe a chart of what the wattage need to be, so what it would need to be for afew w’s, would there any point doing this over using a wire. I suspect it wouldn’t need to be anything more that a 1/4 of watt, you wouldn’t want the value to be too low, suppose it could become a dummy load.

Sometimes I get a message at login in safari, that this is an insecure site, wonder what it could mean, i've also seen a few ads now and again don't know if they're supposed to be there or not.

I had a look too and I'll be damned if I'm able to find a download link for the MP3. Have you tried emailing the guy? rangz.indie@gmail.com

I thought I was hearing a pirate afew weeks ago turned out to be radio stoke had taken to playing some reagae, wonder how common this is, do you tune to something think it is a pirate?. 

I’ve not heard any pirates ones from the nearest cities here since 2021, dosen’t seem like any will come back now.  I supose the signal might be abit ropey on a bbc local radio station traveling a long distance, might be playing something you’d not normally hear.
I was going to post this over on radionecks too, seems like theres noone over there too, do hear alot of talk of building transmitters but nothing gets heard.

Aew months I thought I was hearing something interesting down there on 88.2, playing brit pop, signal was there for a while stereo sign there but not overly strong, then you could tell this was in a car tx, you got that tell tail fluttering. I think what made me think it was something albert’s talked about something been set up in the pennines in the past, they’ll problalby say nothing is there

Local oscilator from a radio would make a nice transmitter back years ago, I could sometimes get them to go 150 meters, ;D on a good day, making a 19khz generator getting the stereo sign to come on, spent hours trying to get stereo separation playing cds mix tapes, a neighbour would listen.
Can’t imagine anyone doing this now, people don’t have to bother, they could get an in car transmitter with a little aerial have the samething. ;)
