Coming in quite strongly here in western MA.

Other / UNID wideband signal 22 Aug 2024 18:08 UTC
« on: August 22, 2024, 1810 UTC »
I'm seeing a very strong signal, or two very strong signals right next to each other, between about 13920 and 13965 or thereabouts. It might be RFI but I've tuned a lot of interference over the years and this doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before. Any ideas?

Other / UNID 6990 CW 0121 UTC 01 NOV 2023
« on: November 01, 2023, 0122 UTC »
I'm hearing CW just below the 40 meter band. Too fast for me to decode by ear and my KiwiSDR isn't having much more luck. Any ideas what this might be?

For what it's worth, I'm picking it up here in western Massachusetts loud and clear right now.

Not terribly strong but consistent and readable here.

Fairly strong CW signal at my QTH, some fading. My CW skills are sorely lacking so I can't decode it.

Thanks so much for the info! I'm really sorry to hear that people are vandalizing your work. I love that I was able to receive this beacon from across the Atlantic. I hope you have better luck if you choose to continue to do this great work.

Thanks! That explains why I wasn't able to ID the language - Kurdish isn't something I'd ever recognize.

I'm not sure what I'm hearing here - any ideas? I can't even identify the language. Google turns up no hits for broadcasters on this frequency, just Russian military.

Very cool, thanks! I thought the FSK shift seemed weirdly narrow.

OK, I think I got all excited about nothing. I've tried a bunch of KiwiSDRs and the signal is roughly equally weak all up and down the east coast. It's much stronger in Europe - I got a great signal in Finland. I'd still love to know what it is, but it's probably not a beacon.

HF Beacons / Mixed CW / FSK beacon(?) on 4095.38
« on: February 27, 2023, 0241 UTC »
I'm not sure if this is a beacon or something else, but I'm hearing a faint signal on and around 4095.38 that transmits CW for a while, then switches to FSK for a bit, then some silence, and repeat. It's too faint and my CW skills are too crappy for me to decode what's being transmitted. Anyone know what this is?

Very faint. Can just make out that the song being played is Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police.

Frequency is more like 6934.9. S4 - S5, I can hear music but I don't recognize the song.

I'm hearing it here as well - gave me a good laugh!
