Title: WEDG 1620 Off the air - Back on the air
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on June 05, 2024, 1228 UTC

Semi local pirate / Part 15 station WEDG 1620 vanished a few days ago (which has happened before).  I went back through my SDR recording waterfalls (generated with Carrier Sleuth) and went QRT 0730 UTC on 3 JUN 2024, 3:30 AM local time. That makes me suspect equipment failure. It's the carrier around 1619.980 kHz:

The carrier is very distinctive and wiggles around a bit, here it is earlier that day:

I noticed WEDG is audible again. I checked my SDR recordings with Carrier Sleuth - They came back on at 0200 UTC on 12 JUN 2024, 10 pm local time. Perhaps the op noticed it was off the air  ;D
