VHF/UHF Logs, including satellites and radiosondes / Re: Interference With Police Dispatch

« on: June 09, 2020, 1846 UTC »

I live near chicago and was monitoring the shit show this past Sunday.  Indeed someone has the ability to broadcast on the police dispatch frequencies - it started about 3pm local time here - someone yelling things to block the police from communicating.  About 4pm it became what sounded like very loud choir type music with full orchestra - the cops switched to " city wide frequencies " - they did have some radio techs trying to figure out what was happening but the best I can tell, the pirate transmissions just all of a sudden stopped.  Busted?  Not sure but it stopped.
I'm a big fan of the "max headroom incident" type activity but blocking police transmissions could result in somebody (on either side) not receiving emergency aid if needed.
Strange times - even to an old Hippie.

At 03:40, he's at S8 into my QTH in Victoria, BC.  Fairly strong carrier, but modulation a bit on the low side.  I've heard him much stronger before.  I'd say, about average, or a little below average into Victoria, BC tonight.   73,   Walt   
PS:   Has anyone ever, or anywhere, received a QSL from YHWH?   I've never heard of one (hint, hint :-)   

I received an email with no text in the body but the subject was YHWH and attached were two pictures of what looked like a trailer type home in a mountainous desert type area taken from a fair distance - an antenna is clearly shown on the trailer house.  I have no idea who sent it or why.

Heads up.
Nippon No-Kaze sent me a real live QSL card and info on their station last fall for a report that I sent to them via email.  It took about three months for it to travel from them to me near Chicago but it made it.  They were very responsive via email.  If I can find the email address I will send it to you.

Edit - try this for No-Kaze.    <info@rachi.go.jp>

Chris - I've had similar (or maybe an iota better) copy of them here.  A few years back (when propagation was better of course) I often copied them nicely.
