Title: 6925U UNID
Post by: Alex_in_West_Virginia on December 01, 2011, 2313 UTC

Someone on 6925USB 2210, but just not strong enough to cut through the usual-as-of-late high noise floor.  Anyone else hearing this?

Sounds like some type of military net imitation. One callsign is Arecibo Alpha One can't make out the other callsign. Heard some references to the presidential science advisor and radar cross-section test. Interesting.
Lost in the static or off around 2320z.

"presidential science advisor and radar cross-section test?"  Are we being invaded by UFO's, or something?  ???

Not a problem Alex.
What I heard was fun.

Yes - this was a strange broadcast. Strong enough here to make out what they were saying, but it made almost no sense. Maybe a rebroadcast of something? There was a mention of 18:34 UTC. Closer to 6.920MHz USB.

Isn't there some kind of big telescope in Arecibo?  Now I'm even more convinced we're about to be invaded!!  :o
But, I'm ready, though.  "Klaatu barada nikto!"

Just couldn't make much out, but I did hear "International Astronomical Unit."

Sounds like someone was relaying KIPM's classic Arecibo Alpha 1 (http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/KIPM) episode.

Good copy here in MD, just listening to the SDR recording now.  Arecibo Alpha One, touch tone beeps between messages.

PLS QSL cps@blackcatsystems.com

Yep,he even got Art Bell to bite on that one when it originally aired,Lex.

Best pirate radio hoax of all time,IMO.
