Peskies / UNID [Spanish] 6790 kHz USB 0315-0323 UTC 16 March 2017
« on: March 16, 2017, 0325 UTC »
Been listening to a Spanish-speaking OM on 6790 kHz USB for the past 5 minutes or so.  It sounds like he's talking to another station, but no other traffic is heard and there was long pauses between transmissions.  Good signal strength but QRM from nearby data signal on 6791.5 kHz or so is making copy difficult.  I heard a mention of "change frequency?" and "I copy that".  No transmissions heard from 0320 to 0323.  Traffic came back at 0324 UTC, but considerably weaker.  Still only hearing one side of the conversation.

SIO 222 at best.

Forgot to log this earlier, heard during the day.  11900 kHz is almost right in the middle of the 25 meter shortwave broadcast band (officially 11650 kHz - 11975 kHz, de facto its more like 11600 kHz - 12200 kHz considering the number of legal/licensed broadcasters that operate above and/or below those limits).  However, these guys were operating on an empty frequency (but quite close to the super flamethrower signal from WRMI on 11825 kHz) and using USB mode.  Spanish language, similar conversational topics as I run into in the 6700-7000 kHz and 25615-28000 kHz ranges.  Sounded like two, possibly three operators having a casual conversation.  SIO 333 at the very best.

Very interesting frequency choice.  Seemed like land-based transmissions given the fact that they were mentioning Mexican cities (although that doesn't rule out marine-based transmissions talking about things going on on land).


1413
Several Spanish-speaking operators talking on 6965 kHz LSB.  This frequency has been active for many hours.  Similar to 6900 LSB and the other common ones.  Heard names/callsigns "Juan", "Raul" and others.  No numerical callsigns heard. OMs whistling into microphones, yelling "HOLA! HOLA! HOLA!" and general chatter off and on all evening. Heard one op address another as "cabron" (rough translation would be "bastard" or "a**hole" in English) so chances are these guys know each other well enough to use such "terms of endearment".  ;D ::) Weak signals, but mostly readable.  SIO 222 or so.

Peskies / UNID 6973.5 kHz USB 0200++ UTC 16 March 2017

Weak voice two-way traffic heard here with very strong OTH Radar buzz burst QRM.  Sounds like Portuguese, but I'm not 100% sure due to the weak signals and heavy QRM.  This is a new frequency for the "peskie logs" too. 

Two stations heard chatting away.  No names, handles or callsigns heard.  SIO 111.

Peskies / UNID 6928 LSB 0220+ UTC 16 March 2017
« on: March 16, 2017, 0223 UTC »
6925 kHz LSB is extremely loud tonight, and is splattering over to the other side band pretty often.  However, I am able to copy a QSO in what sounds like Spanish on 6928 kHz LSB, with heavy QRM from 6925 kHz LSB.  6928 LSB is weaker, but there is certainly a QSO there.  This is an interesting example of the "peskies" using 3 kHz steps instead of their usual 5 kHz steps.

S2-S3 signal levels.  Just above noise floor with very heavy QRM from 6925 LSB and 6930 LSB.

1416
Another station tuning up/testing.  OM saying "Hola! Hola! Hola!", whistling into mic, playing tones, etc.  Strong signals.  Doesn't sound like he's actually talking to somebody...similar to the traffic heard earlier this evening on 6912.5 kHz USB and 6915.5 kHz USB.  

1417
OM repeating "Hola! Que tal?" ("Hey what's up?") over and over.  Very strong S9+ signal

Can only hear one station, so its possibly somebody is just testing/tuning up (which would explain the rather random frequency choice, although he is right in the middle between 6900 kHz and 6925 kHz.)

At 2327 or so, he moved up to 6915.5 kHz USB and continued testing.

Peskies / UNID Spanish Freebanders 6900 LSB 1300 UTC 15 March 2017
« on: March 15, 2017, 1307 UTC »
More freeband traffic on the usual 6900 kHz LSB frequency.  Mentions of "DK", "Michoacán", Mexico City, Acuna, and various other Mexican states and cities. "el radio del Kenwood" and discussing propagation conditions as well as signal strength "mas fuerte" etc.  Several stations checking in, saying hello, giving signal reports and having general QSOs.  Reminds me of the stations that hang out in the 27695 USB, 27695 LSB, 27665 USB and various other 11 meter band frequencies.  Similar operating manner. 

Various signal strengths from just barely readable to SIO 555 very strong.

These guys seem to be going non stop.  6900 kHz LSB seems to be one of the more popular frequencies. 

1419
Very faint audio heard, carrier there...hearing bits and pieces of audio at noise level.  

Carrier gone at 2049 UTC.

1420
S3-S4 signal.  OM talking about Pi (likely reference to the 3.14 date notation for today's date).

1430 UTC - YLs talking about "Pi Day" - March 14th
1432 UTC - Off suddenly

1421
Good copy, as usual.  Some noise and very minor fading.  S7 peaks with "Pinball Wizard" at 1435 UTC

Music and sound effects heard on the LSB, weak, but there's something there

Several minutes of instrumental music, now at 1710 UTC, more "lounge" sounding music with German YL vocals.

S5-S6 signal with good audio.  No ID heard yet.

1712 UTC - YL heard talking about "exit 76B" sounded like CB traffic
1713 UTC - back to music (OM vocals)
1723 UTC - Bells heard, sounds like Christmas/holiday music
1728 UTC - The Supremes - Baby, Baby (German Version)
1733 UTC - Spanish version of "She's Not There" (originally by The Zombies)
1736 UTC - VERY deep fade, then back up to original levels, into Elvis Presley - Good Luck Charm
1739 UTC - Shirley Ellis - The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)
1742 UTC - The Byrds - You Ain't Going Nowhere
1745 UTC - Ben E. King - Stand By Me (CLASSIC TRACK!) [carrier appearing, disappearing, and then reappearing on 6925.0 kHz]
1748 UTC - Carl Stevens - The Call Of The Jungle
1816 UTC - Clip from "Cool Hand Luke" ("what we've got here is...failure...to communicate...")
1817 UTC - OFF

Even though (as of 1818 UTC anyway) the 6925 kHz USB station is gone, the carrier that appeared around 1745 UTC is still sitting on 6925.0 kHz)

6950 kHz USB 0445 UTC - February 16th, 2017.

Listening on a California-based remote SDR late this evening.  Hearing a OM and YL talking, with bits and pieces of music at points.  Weak signal, but there's certainly something there.  S5-S6 level as per the WebSDR's S-meter, but looks to be somewhat noisy at the receive location.  While the OM's voice is hard to make out, but it sounds vaguely familiar...

Dramatic music at 0447 UTC, still very weak..signal seems to have faded away around 0450 UTC.

Unfortunately I have to go to sleep pretty soon so I won't be able to listen very much longer.
