Utility / Re: UNID Net on 5723u (Navy Exercise?)

« on: January 16, 2012, 0156 UTC »

5723u active again this evening with fascinating, though only intermittent comms, presumably relating to military exercise.  Echo, Echo Whiskey and Lima active, (though at times only barely readable here),also references to "Jimminy Cricket," relating to (UNID) maneuvers.  Pretty sure they're not talking Disney here.  Cool stuff.

At 03:00z track reports from Oscar and Juliet and Vampire.

Ah, LSB!  That explains my befuddlement with the sig!      Variably mod-strong  here through the noise at 0:57 with some nice Bowie "We could be Heros."

Hearing only the Benway side on this end, but remains entertaining never-the less!

Dr. Benway Strong and steady here at 17:04z.  Engaging show!

Looking for Borderhunter and seems to be reading him (or his modulation).  Nothing of Borderhunter heard here.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925AM Dance!

« on: January 15, 2012, 0525 UTC »

Some driving dance music barely making it through the fades here at 05:20z.  Nothing resembling an ID last several minutes, not sure I could make a read if there was one.

On again today at 8472u today in RTTY and NAVTEX.  No requests for reception reports  today though.  Perhaps my 27 email QSL requests were of some mild annoyance to them.    Not sure what the schedule is for these, but no better way to get the news!

Utility / Re: 15016 EAM from Blackbody

« on: January 14, 2012, 1958 UTC »

Nice catch! I also noticed active and unusual EAM activity today, also at 15016 and 11175u at 19:38z UNID station (I think blackbody, now that you mention it)  with EAM:

6XPSON: "For reason (region? sounded like reason))Bravo, for reason Charlie", w2kllviq5gwnsd, same EAM then repeated by Andrews

the reason(region) part new to me.  Always interesting to hear something a little different on HFGCS stations

Blackbody on again with EAM at 19:56z on 11175u

Utility / 8602:UNID CW station (spanish)

« on: January 14, 2012, 0053 UTC »

At 00:40z on 8602khz, came across CW station, new to me.  Multipsk reveals Spanish in the mistake ridden decode. A reference to Santa Lucia is about all I can make out as I shamefully cannot speak Spanish.  Perhaps someone has some idea about what this is:

Hey CM:  BTW, How did you figure out my wet dream of a reception report anyway?
Damn you're good!

Utility / UNID Net on 5723u (Navy Exercise?)

« on: January 13, 2012, 0442 UTC »

After several weeks of quiet, finding 5723u acive again at 04:26z with calls ID'd EW, K, L.  Also UNID digital transmissions
This has peviously been ID'd as known Naval freq (thanks CM), wonder if current sigs relate to  USS Enterprise (the carrier, not the spaceship I believe) Composite Unit Training Exercise, the COMTUEX was just reported today by the ever reliable Jack Metcalf on his blog:  http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/

May also simply be a MARS net, though not on my MARS net freq list (also courtesy of Jack Metcalf, he and Hugh Stegman being two of the increasingly few reasons to still purchase the occasional (overpriced and pirate ignoring) Monitoring Times.)
So far hearing calls every 15 min or so, though reception here getting iffy.  .

Utility / WLO seeking reception reports

« on: January 12, 2012, 0355 UTC »

At 03:50z on 8472khz WLO broadcasting news reports in alternating RTTY and NAVTEX.

"WE ARE INTERESTED IN RECEPTION REPORTS OF THESE BROADCAST.  PLEASE SEND
YOUR RECEPTION REPORT TO WLONEWS-AT-OLYPEN.COM"

Not exactly a tough catch from here, but , they didn't specify you had to be on a ship or anything so they got my report.  Wonder if they QSL?

Spy Numbers / UNID CW 6949khz

« on: January 09, 2012, 0019 UTC »

Been hearing weak CW since about 0:00z on 6949khz while searching for a Sunday pirate.  Too weak to get much decode on, possibly 5 letter groups.  Perhaps someone has some idea about this?

Addendum:  Still detectable through the noise at 01:32z
