Carrier level is S9+10 but audio level is very low, can barely hear the program. Zero beating in USB doesn't help either.

« on: April 19, 2023, 0045 UTC »

More KIPM programs (getting spoiled) it's been like binge listening

Signal S9+20
55555
Audio: Hard Clip at 6 kHz upper limit - processing very good!

side comment: these spectrum sweepers moving up the spectrum are annoying, listening to a SSB signal makes them really annoying when they sweep through.

0128 End of program, followed by Undercover Radio ID/address, signal ends

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / Re: Strong RTTY or similar on 22m

« on: April 10, 2023, 2011 UTC »

I heard it pretty weekly in Michigan at about 2000z 10 Apr 2023. Using MMTTY it is definitely 200 Hz shift. Tried normal then reverse at 45 baud but then it went QRT.

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / 22M Beacon heard

« on: April 10, 2023, 1948 UTC »

Thought I would give looking for 22M beacons a try.

13527.7 MHz   1945 UT   "D" about 10 wpm just strong enough to see it clearly on my SDR waterfall.

                      1955 UT   Tried HFU KiwiSDR and signal is stronger
