Link-11 6944-6950 kHz

ChrisSmolinski:
I've been noting Link-11 transmissions in this range 24 hours a day, for the last few days. I mentioned this in an earlier blog post: http://www.hfunderpants.com/?p=787

This is a US military data system. Since it can be heard 24 hours a day, that implies that they are somewhere close by. If they can be heard here, then pirates transmitting on 6950 or even 6955 could be heard by the people operating these transmissions, and could possibly cause interference to them, annoying the users.

Hint Hint.

Well, I guess it's good to have another name for this type of transmission besides "The Chicken"! I've been hearing it for decades on various frequencies.

Also audible all day/all night in North Georgia. 1926, on 4/2 its is running an easy S8, depending on the frequency you tune in too between 6945 and 6950. I will see if I can get my loop out in the backyard and see if I can get a rough bearing for this one.

It loops out as being roughly 45 degrees TN from the Acworth/Atlanta area. Loops can give erroneous readings with skywave so YMMV. 2339UTC

ChrisSmolinski:
With a few more signal reports from listeners (ideally at around the same time) we may be able to pin down about where these transmissions originate.

zackers:
It's running about S7 here now, a couple hours before sunset. Some QSB, dips down to maybe S3 and back. No DX heard on 40 meters now. So it has to be not too far away.
