Shortwave Broadcast / CKZN 6160 AM 2028 UTC 7 Aug 2014
« on: August 07, 2014, 2029 UTC »
CKZN is already fading in, a sign that we're past the summer solstice, and heading into better fall/winter conditions for 6 MHz.

I'm measuring a carrier frequency of 6159.95 kHz, CKZN is known to be off frequency. I think it was running somewhere around 6160.1 kHz a year or two ago.

SDR recording catch. 0457 sign on. Good signal, but off frequency, so difficult to listen to.

Knobs are round.
Tires are round.
I sense a pattern.

HF Beacons / Part 15 Beacons
« on: August 05, 2014, 1501 UTC »
After realizing that we don't have a list of Part 15 beacons (specifically those around 13560 kHz, but also elsewhere), I thought I'd  start one on the wiki: http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Part_15_Beacons

If anyone knows of any additional beacons, please feel free to directly add them to the wiki, or pass the info on to me and I'll update the list.

I haven't done any listening to the longwave beacons around 160-190 kHz for years, but those would be welcome on the list as well.

The fear of radios without knobs.
