Utility / WLO Mobile, AL USA 8788 USB 1117 UTC 9 Mar 2023 - Audio/IQ File Included

« on: March 09, 2023, 1229 UTC »

I seem to have logged a marine weather broadcast from WLO this morning. I thought this station went off the air? I've included the IQ file for anyone who wants to put it into their SDR: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GSHsLkXAqfvXSc0VuDN4kQxeP6mBOwHp/view?usp=share_link

After failed attempts to contact "Aleutian 1" the United States Coast Guard Command (CommCom) from Chesapeake, Virginia transmitted a warning to mariners to keep out of the area of military operations near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where they are recovering pieces of the Chinese balloon which transited the continental US and Canada last week. Audio included below:

San Francisco: "Flight level 290, Drops are per your mission, we do not clear aircraft to drop, you are over a Bravo airspace and we are not sure mission is clear to do so there."

Any station transmitting on 18 July should do a UFO/Alien theme to mess with these people here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Throawaylien/

The whole "aliens are coming July 18, 2021" thing has become such a meme that you'd probably crash Reddit with a "mysterious alien" broadcast referring to the date.  Be sure to throw in some bluegrass music.

Definitely could be an epic, historic joke.
