Just came on the air at 0046 - awaiting ID. S7 signal (with moderate fading) in Binghamton, NY with some interference from a wideband digital signal in the background.

Solid reception in Binghamton, NY - very slight interference from a weak station that appears to be on the same frequency (not from the pesky on LSB immediately above 6920) with slight fading - mostly ranging between between S8 and S9+10 (sometimes a bit above).

Booming into Binghamton, NY at SINFO 55555 - if not for a very slight occasional fade, I'd think they were in my basement! Good audio quality wideband USB signal.

Drama (male and female voices) - nearly S9+10 carrier, but audio is a bit lower (still very intelligible).

S9 to S9+10 with low QRN here in the southern tier of upstate NY.

Peaking around S8 here (over an S6 noise level) with good copy (SINFO 45354).

"Audio check" then music. Solid S8 signal with decent audio and relatively little fading.

I'm the one who observed what appears to be an identical signal, and reported it as unidentified in the post at https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107329.0

I observed that it occupied approximately 30 Hz of bandwidth centered at 5358.62 kHz. I did not make an audio or IQ recording. Definitely HAARP?

Wish I had a batputer - would probably need a batcave to put it in, though. Still, I have to question the result - my preliminary research (i.e., googling) suggests this is a mode used for satellite communications - wouldn't expect to see it in the amateur 60 meter band!

HF Mystery Signals / PSK? narrowband signal at 5358.62 kHz

« on: December 26, 2022, 0323 UTC »

Unidentified approximately 30 Hz bandwidth signal (markers are 50 Hz apart); unchanging nature suggests idle marker. Falls in 60 meter amateur band, but doubt it's amateur-related. Can't find a close match at sigidwiki. Any ideas? Thanks!

I just confirmed that this is in fact Ballsmacker Radio by going to his website & verifying that his livestream matches this broadcast.

Signal peaking around S9+12 with a fair bit of fading (down to S9+8) above an S7 noise level (SINFO 55344). Any chance this is Ballsmacker Radio in disguise? That's the only pirate I've ever logged previously on this frequency.

Heard well above the noise with signal peaking around S8 and very little fading - a bit of occasional interference from a utility station. SINFO 44454

Reasonable copy - nominally S8 signal with slight fading; heard well above the noise - SINFO 45444. Neither Shazam nor SoundHound is helping me identify the (techno? ambient?) dance music I'm hearing.
