A very strong signal here on Mount Hood in Portland, Oregon.  Tonight's activity has gotten me pumped for Halloween Night Pirate activity.  Hope the bands are behaving on Halloween.

Greetings all from MT. Hood, Oregon.  I’m monitoring the HFGCS and other frequencies since the breaking news bulletin that Iran has drones heading towards Israel.  So far in the clear and not encrypted.  My secondary radio is monitoring other associated frequencies from the European/Middle Eastern regions.  Continuing to monitor the rest of the day.

Hi ~SIGINT~,

Thank you for the reply and the info.  I appreciate it.  With the way things are right now, there are all sorts of strange signals on the radio.

Utility / HFGCS Intermittent tone/beep
« on: October 17, 2023, 2308 UTC »
I'm monitoring the 11.175 frequency for HFGCS.  I am hearing an intermittent beep/tone on the frequency here near Mount Hood, Oregon.  Is anyone else hearing it too?  If so, when did it start doing that? 

Happy monitoring!!

Not able to hear the broadcast on 4185, but can on this relay.  Thank you for the relay service MRI, and for the broadcast Red Hat.  Listening somewhere beneath the stars.....and rain on Mount Hood in Oregon.  Larry is out there under the stars doing another show from Minnesota doing his annual YouTube Halloween Pirate Radio Report.

73 from up the mountain....somewhere under the stars.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!!

X-FM is very weak here, "somewhere under the stars....and rain" on Mount Hood in Oregon.  Thank you Red Hat for the broadcast.  Great to hear you.  I'm sure Larry is doing another Pirate Radio video report "somewhere under the stars" in MN.

Hear it in the static here at the base of Mount Hood in Oregon.  It's in the static, but can hear it very well with that amazing receiver in the FTDX-10.  Playing opera music.  Thank you for the broadcast!!
