Sure enough. Hope he is okay.

There is a webmaster email on his site. I will try dropping him a line.

Nope, this was the sound effects jammer guy signed on 6950 USB just after CM and moved to 6952 USB.

^This.

Good luck jamming Cap. o.0

Other / Freeband QSO 2357 USB 0109 UTC 18 NOV 2024

« on: November 18, 2024, 0117 UTC »

English language QSO between two operators. Ended a couple of minutes later.

Probably fishermen given the frequency, but it sounded like call signs or similar identifiers were exchanged at the close.

KiwiSDR 2 and 148' LoG.

Apologies for not catching the logging as I was occupied, but I did note your carrier in the waterfall earlier tonight. Think I had my KiwiSDR 2 and 148' LoG in the foreground at the time.

Thanks and best of luck! :)

~S9+40 carrier with hum and garbled modulation at 0334z. 6000am is a waste of power and resources for an island with limited resources.

I would rather RHC on 6000am run even just 1-2KW with narrow audio than whatever has been happening for a long time now. I am talking like even an amateur radio driving an OM4001HF or similar amp feeding a half-wave dipole or quarter-wave vertical.


Radio Rebelde is on air at 0358z but at a fraction of its usual signal strength here. Just ~S9 instead of usually like S9+40 or more.
