10/11 meters / 27025 CB Channel 6 Superbowl fixed station 21 Jan 2024
« on: January 21, 2024, 1642 UTC »
Fixed station operator with thick Louisiana accent, very loud and animated on 27025 at 1616 to 1630 probably along Interstate 10 near Casa Grande AZ, talking truckers up and down I-10 such as "Good day, good day, good day.  My wife got a short fuse that just blew up."

Unidentified on 11 meters.  Spanish conversation between hams (?) or other operators.  I heard about 3-4 different individuals. Signal was sporatic (232) with sometimes an echo in the voices and other times a digital sequence heard.  Reception did not improve if I switched to USB/LSB. I should learn Spanish.

Speed QSLing from V31XX station in Consejo, Belize operated by Bill K4XS.  Signal improved to 333.  He said he does about 200-250 QSLs an hour when he is contesting. I heard more than 20 in as many minutes.  The station has several large antennas, but primarily uses a 4 element 136 foot Yagi.

Rather strong signal (333) from Nippon no Kaze this morning in Korean.  Some background wind hiss; but otherwise very clear.

The sound has definitely changed from yesterday:  less null, more tones.  It has 4-5 tones not two together.

Strange buzz-hum:  About 12 seconds on and 17 seconds off continuously repeating.  Two tones, one low and one mid tone, aharmonic.  A kind of grinding sound similar to a low frequency buzz saw or a slow tooth drill or wind blowing through an underground tunnel (spooky).  Heard on my Tecsun S-2000  in Colorado with its internal antenna.  Exterior antenna did not improve sound.  On USB and LSB the the sound had a higher tonality but not substantially improved.  Will try to get an audio of it, if it continues.

Kris, I heard the same station at about the same time on January 26th.  Rather rare for me to hear Brazil.
