Trying to ID a local (I don't have a decoder) RTTY ute that doesn't Google.

It's 18/7 groundwave (no QSB) near Vancouver. Not in the IC database, so it's not CG. No listings make me think CFB Esquimalt or Whidbey Island NAS. Could be Alaska somewhere, too (N-->S is really steady).

Too steady for California or Mexico and definately not the Chinese listings Google came up with.

Peace!

Can you determine the shift of the FSK?  This might help narrow the possibles.

But, I can tell you, I hear the Dixon CA, USN facility on that frequency just the way you are describing, and that is 500 kM away from me, it would be closer to 1000 kM for you I think.

Sounds like regular old 170Hz to me.

It's a rock steady S-5 regardless of time when it's on.... dunno, it may be in a perfect path from Cali Huh

Thanks!
