SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: KFS omni kiwi sdr "Masking" USAF global HF Frequency??

Thanks! That makes perfect sense. I had not thought about what the owner of a public SDR has to go through with abusers. I try to get in and out of SDRs as quickly as possible.

Hearing it here at home, just barely whooping above the noise.

Nice catch! Similar to when test transmissions of the Coastal Slider were heard before deployment.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / KFS omni kiwi sdr "Masking" USAF global HF Frequency??

« on: March 11, 2022, 0216 UTC »

Tried tuning in 11,175 KHz yesterday and I could see activity on the waterfall but no audio. Then I noticed this tag


So what sort of feature is this on the SDR and what is it normally used for? It was not applied to other global HF frequencies.

Thanks!

In another forum a guy reported hearing CW messages on satcom at 255.540700 MHz

"Stop the war"

Really awesome and fun idea!

For build ideas you can look at existing ocean buoy trackers such as these

surface drift tracker

4095.700 KHz     Desert Whooper, weak at home, can't read the telemetry
6626.3    KHz      Rainy, weak but readable
6700.400 KHZ     hexie2k is coming in well

still no sign of Windy

Looks as if CS has passed the 2 week mark without a hiccup, a good sign for it to be operating for many years to come.

I'm hearing it on the KFS Omni at the moment but not at home.

I can hear CS on the Utah kiwi #1 but not on KFS at all. I do hear DW everywhere on all kiwis I pick. Interesting propagation
