Title: unIDed on 11004.6kHz
Post by: W4JBM on June 02, 2009, 1007 UTC

Was looking for CO and came across something sending 5 dots and a dash at 11004.60 kHz at 1005z (early morning here). Some QSB but you can hear several streams of clear copy. I've got a recording if anyone is interested.

Whatever it is is getting stronger as day break gets here. Moving the s-meter from nothing up to S6 at times. The FT-857 has an LED that changes color with the s-meter and it's blinking away in sych when it's strong.

It may not be a PiFER beacon because it seems strong. If it is, I've got a neighbor putting one on the air :-)

Actually there's enough QSB at times to make me think it's coming over a decent length path.

Listening in USB mode now and the dash has a raspy sound. I think this is a NATO Link 11 signal. Don't see reports of it on this frequency in anything I've got, but that's what it's almost got to be.

I have stumbled across the same thing and when I listen in a wider mode
the signal reveals it self...
