10/11 meters / 11 meters is active 1715 UTC 12 July 2019
« on: July 12, 2019, 1756 UTC »
Posting this a little late but during my lunch break I heard some skip activity on the legal 40 CB channels, of course channel 6 (27.025 MHz) was busy, as well as several others.  Channel 38 LSB - 27.385 MHz LSB was also active.  Likely more sporadic-E propagation enhancement.  According to DXMaps.com, both 10 meters and 6 meters are active on the US East Coast with E-skip activity, so it would make sense for 11 meters to be open too.

Two OMs chatting in between channels 29 and 30 (27.295 MHz and 27.305 MHz respectively).  One of those secret channels, 27.300 MHz.

"you've done well, my friend" heard at 2101 UTC.  Weak signals, but they're definitely there.  LSB mode.  Heard on COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.

Via COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR, from 2045 UTC to 2055 UTC (1645 to 1655 local time)

26.065 MHz AM - two OMs talking, "nearing 100 mile there" "closer to the city" - sound like truckers, southern accents
26.105 MHz AM - similar traffic to traffic heard the other day, truckers or similar traffic
26.405 MHz AM - weak AM carriers fading in and out
26.565 MHz AM - OM doing radio checks
26.775 MHz AM - southern-accented OMs
26.885 MHz AM - similar to 26.915 MHz AM, heard the frequency referred to as "885"
26.905 MHz AM - central US stations heard, Illinois mentioned
26.915 MHz AM - very busy, several stations talking at once, heard a station ID'ed as "Jailbird"

not all 40 legal CB channels were active, the usual AM and SSB activity centers were busy, including 27.385 LSB

27.465 MHz LSB - active with DXing stations, general rag-chewing
27.575 MHz AM - "you going down to where? 700?" "you must have lots of spray"

Not as busy as it was yesterday, but still a considerable amount of DX rolling in this afternoon

10/11 meters / 26405 AM 26.405 MHz AM - Trucker Company Channel I-75 Ohio? 1700 UTC 9 July 2019
« on: July 09, 2019, 1711 UTC »
Hearing two truckers chatting on 26.405 MHz AM / 26405 kHz AM, both with good signals.  Talking about trucking related topics (company drama, weigh scales, several mentions of "Toledo" and "75" - presuming that's a reference to I-75 or route 75).  At one point it became clear the two operators were within eyesight of each other, likely a "company channel" or "side channel" used by truckers from a particular location or company...several other 26 MHz frequencies are waking up early this afternoon.  Hearing two OMs chatting on 25.925 MHz AM / 25925 kHz AM, both of them seem to be local to each other as well.

Via the Westminster, MD KiwiSDR.  Two OMs chatting away about la calle ("the street" literally).  At 2024 UTC, a third station joined in.  Seems like freebanders or maybe fishing boats.  One of the stations has some background noise.  Considerable fading.

General Radio Discussion / Massive South American Power Outage 16 June 2019
« on: June 17, 2019, 1432 UTC »
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-48662279

Too much of a coincidence that it occurred on Argentina's election day and right after the New York Times reported on US Cyber Command's installation of sit-and-wait malware in the Russian power grid (in response to the Russians doing the same thing to us for years now - cf. https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA18-074A)? 

While the various governments (Argentina mostly, but also parts of Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, etc.) seem to be willing to rule out cyberattack as the reason for the massive blackout that affected more than 40 million people (!!) it seems like somebody is doing another test, proof of concept, whatever you want to call it.  Combine with the recent airnav GPS issues. 

Time to buy more solar panels, batteries, and, of course, can openers.  Also ammunition.  Battery-powered HF and VHF/UHF capability.

Would have been nice to have a before/after waterfall image for MF/HF/VHF/UHF in Buenos Aires when the lights went out.  See how much the noise floor drops (and see which broadcast stations, etc. went off the air).
