Got mine, thank you! Just started reading but the interview with Zazzle is great. Zazzle, if you're reading, I feel like your description of your first experiences of radio were eerily similar to mine!

Nice to hear some old Metallica, that really takes me back.

I think I may have caught the same thing last night, 8000 KHZ 0400 UTC 4 Dec 2018. Listening via an SDR in southern Nevada on SDR.HU. Roughly 2 pps. I used a metronome to time it at 125 bpm.

Interesting program, despite QRM from peskies. Would like to get a copy of the Radio Shack SW Radio instructional recording that was played.

Thanks, you could be right. I've heard Link 11 before but this was quite weak and it was difficult to distinguish

HF Beacons / 6940.6 KHZ

« on: July 18, 2018, 0054 UTC »

0045 UTC hearing a very faint, irregular "dit" in CW mode around 6940.6. I'm not really familiar with pirate beacons, but I know there is a fair amount of pirate SSB activity in this area.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with a lot of the signals I hear, will keep that in mind before posting. This was heard via the University of Twente SDR.

After several repetitions there were different transmissions along the line of "QSL NR05 BT BT AR AR DT40" (The BT and AR presumably being prosigns)
