Shortwave Pirate / Re: The BONG 6942 AM 0106 UTC 15 May 2022
« on: May 15, 2022, 0116 UTC »
0115 UTC The ute is overwhelming on 6942 USB, but I have weak audio using LSB
0118 UTC SSTV but no decode here...started as Robot 36 before it stopped
(The T-storm static is really bad here)
0123 UTC Music coming up to noise level but can't tell what's playing
0129 UTC Still monitoring but no joy here
0140 UTC Now even the carrier is weak.
Thanks for trying but only fragments came through this evening. Between the ute and the storm static, it's a no go.  :(


I believe 6942 is possibly the worst frequency to use in the 43 meter band.
Link-11 (Also known as ALLIGATOR, STANAG 5511, TADIL-A, MIL-STD-6011, and MIL-STD-188-203-1A) is a Tactical Data Link standard (formerly known as Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) used by NATO and the US Military for Maritime Tactical Data Exchange.
