More logs from this remote SDR: 

http://southwest.ddns.net:8073/

I am fascinated by 11 meters and how its used worldwide so being able to listen to it from a receiver located in Western Europe is a real treat.  I know this one is in the southwestern portion of the UK but it seems to receive 25-30 MHz very well.  I usually start around 25.615 MHz, which is channel 1 on band A on most export radios.  However, I did notice some activity below 25.615 and I have included it in my logs.  The lower frequencies are filled with Russian voices and Germans chatting on their channels 41-80 (26.565 to 26.955 MHz straight 10 kHz steps).  Data signals noted on 27.235, 27.245 and 27.635.  Lots of pagers, on both the usual 26 MHz UK on-site paging frequencies (26.200 MHz, 26.250 MHz, 26.350 MHz, etc) and on 27.000 MHz (strange mode too, did not sound like POCSAG, and was roughly 12 kHz wide).  26.950, 27.600, 27.700, and 27.750 MHz were also home to very strong POCSAG paging signals.

Utility / Re: 11175 very busy
« on: June 15, 2017, 2040 UTC »
When the HF-GCS system is as active as it has been, it makes an interesting propagation indicator.  Since they transmit on 4724 kHz USB, 6739 kHz USB (alternate 6MHz frequency: 6712 kHz USB), 8992 kHz USB, 11175 kHz USB (alternate 11MHz frequency: 11180 kHz USB), 13200 kHz USB and 15016 kHz USB...and since the transmissions are often simulcasted (and sometimes multicasted and simulcasted - that is, transmitted on multiple frequencies at once from multiple transmitter sites at once) you can often hear an echo on the "mid band" frequencies (usually 8992 USB and 11175 USB) due to multi-path propagation from several different transmitter sites.

On several instances I've heard different sites transmitting different messages on 11175, sometimes causing some pretty serious interference and QRM.

Next time you hear a lot of activity on 11175, take a look at (or a listen on, or both) 11180.  It, along with other nearby frequencies, are often used for datalink transmissions around the same time voice traffic is taking place on 11180.  You'll also find 11180 is often used for ALE sounding transmissions.

There are likely dozens of other frequencies that are part of the USAF HF-GCS system, including logged frequencies 6778 kHz USB, 6833 kHz USB, 6903 kHz USB, 6988 kHz USB and 7703 kHz USB.  Additionally, the COTHEN HF system (used by DEA, ICE, DHS, etc), the FEMA HF nets (SECURE, SHARES) and the Civil Air Patrol/CAP HF-SSB nets have had USAF and other US military traffic on them.  6765 kHz USB and 6845 kHz USB (both SHARES frequencies) can sometimes yield some interesting monitoring.


7615 kHz USB is the CAP (Civil Air Patrol) nationwide net primary frequency.  There are several 4MHz band regional net frequencies as well.
5211 kHz USB is FEMA-1 (FEMA HF night primary)
10493 kHz USB is FEMA-2
14597 kHz USB is FEMA-3 (FEMA HF day primary)
5236 kHz USB is SHARES night primary
14396.5 kHz USB is SHARES day primary
6910 kHz USB is SHARES Central
6765 kHz USB is SHARES North
6845 kHz USB is SHARES Northeast
7320 kHz USB is SHARES Southwest

It's a safe bet that most USAF, USCG, USN and USMC aircraft have the capability to communicate on the HF-GCS and COTHEN (Customs Over The Horizon Network) nets.

2240
Very faint carrier on 6770 kHz 6.770 MHz AM mode, listening in USB mode gives me bits and pieces of audio but considerably harder to hear any modulation in regular old AM mode.  The carrier is certainly there though.  :D

2241
Switched up to 11 meters real quick, hearing two OMs chatting away on 27.855 MHz, which is channel 40 up one band, an interesting frequency, er, channel choice.  Slight southern accented OM, possibly truckers.  Pretty colorful conversation, talking about another man's daughter...not going to type the details here but pretty standard CB radio conversation topics here...

Reference to Interstate 95 at 0210 UTC.

Looking at the waterfall, seeing AM traffic (all English language) on nearby frequencies:

27815 kHz AM - 27.815 MHz AM
27825 kHz AM - 27.825 MHz AM
27835 kHz AM - 27.835 MHz AM
27865 kHz AM - 27.865 MHz AM
27885 kHz AM - 27.885 MHz AM

All six of these frequencies were carrying English-speaking stations and all of them appeared to either truck drivers or local CBers talking to other stations that are local to them.  Usually AM signals aren't found in this portion of the band, which further backs up the local net frequency being heard because of a sporadic-E propagation band opening.

2242
6.900 MHz LSB 6900 kHz LSB 6900 LSB Spanish language Spanish speakers freebanders bootleggers outbanders operating below 40 meter band.

Heavy static from thunderstorm QRN pretty bad on the lower frequencies this evening, but I am hearing some traffic on the "home" frequency 6900 kHz LSB.  One stronger station coming in nicely, other stations considerably weaker.  11 meter-like chatter.  Stronger stations welcoming new stations into the "net" with a greeting (generally "good evening") and a signal report.  Heard "welcome to the frequency" a couple times as well.  Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to listen to the net for awhile tonight but the voices sound pretty familiar.  I have a feeling its another ragchew like roundtable style net so often heard on amateur radio frequencies (these stations are, after all, likely operating modified ham radio equipment out of band and chances are they're amateur radio operators themselves).  These stations are often heard on the 11 meter band, with primary frequencies being around 27665 kHz to 27775 kHz in USB and LSB mode, 10 kHz steps.

At 0204 UTC, hearing the strongest station making comment to a weaker station about band conditions today, remarked about conditions on both 43 meters and 11 meters (which was WIDE open earlier today).  This matches an earlier log I made for chatter on this frequency regarding operators talking about band conditions on different bands (11 meters is the great equalizer! ;)).

At 0205 UTC, hearing two stations talking at once with one of them having a noticeable microphone "unkey" sound.  Not a noise toy or roger beep, but you can hear the PTT button being depressed and unkeyed.  0206 UTC, another station checks into the net after a moment of silence, greeted by a signal report and then welcomed to the frequency.  Chances are this frequency will be busy for the next couple hours.

2243
Another 15 minutes of monitoring - I wanted to break these into different posts to show the various different stations that come and go during 11 meter band openings.  Lots of Spanish speaking taxi cab dispatch ladies reading numbers (and sometimes I was able to hear the taxi cabs replying to the dispatcher!) and general Spanish speaking chat channels, often with lots of noise toys, music, roger beeps and the like.  American truckers heard all over the band from 26 MHz up.  Yesterday I monitored several different trucker conversations intruding into 10 meters (generally the bottom end of 10 meters, most export radios go up to either 28305 kHz / 28.305 MHz or 28755 kHz / 28.755 MHz...that is, the ones that don't do the entire 10 meter band).

Awesome.  Their repeaters are apparently licensed for an effective radiated power of 220 watts.  Knowing now that they're also located on top of hills makes more sense.  Their local area range has got to be really really good.

Hearing truckers chatting away on 28085 kHz / 28.085 MHz this evening.  SIO 222 - SIO 333 with lots of fading.  Going by the conversation...these guys are likely very close to each other...and probably use this frequency on a regular basis..

2248
27615 kHz AM - 27.615 MHz AM Channel 17 up one band CB channel 17 27.165 MHz + .450 MHz = 27.615 MHz band E ch. 17.

Was listening to trucker chatter on 27.635 MHz, then noticed big signals 20 kHz down...tuned in to hear a very strong signal (S9 to S9+30) several truckers talking about sexual fetishes...then trash on the road...then a reference to somebody with the handle of "Rookie", now giving another trucker directions to Shook Lane or another similarly-sounding road.  Flanking Road.  Informal CB chatter indicates that these guys are likely very close to each other...

2249
Hearing two truckers talking about other vehicles around them (with repeated mentions of "gumbo") on 27635 kHz AM - 27.635 MHz AM a/k/a CB channel 19 up one band 27.185 MHz + .450 MHz = 27.635 MHz (see also, 26.735 MHz AM, which is channel 19 down one band).

Tuned in at 2217 UTC, basically nonstop chatter...now talking about the motors in various trucks in standard transmissions vs. automatic transmissions "automatic is just faster".  At 2220 UTC, another (third?) party joined the QSO, not sure if they're local to the other two stations talking or if the truckers are working skip themselves.  Given the frequency choice, I think they're close to each other and simply flipped the band switch up one to find a clear channel...as the real channel 19 is probably close to unusable right now. 

Stations will talking with SIO 333 or so (decently readable with some minor fading but lots of static high noise level).  Stations were still chatting away at 2223 UTC when I tuned away from this frequency.

After noticing considerable activity in both the SSB and FM portions of the 10 meter phone bands, I decided to check out the land mobile frequencies in the 29.71 to 29.79 MHz region (considered part of VHF low band in the FCC's eyes). 

After sitting on 29790 for a few minutes, knowing that my best bets are 29770 and 29790, I heard a dispatcher talking to a mobile, mentioning that a pickup has been canceled and then the dispatcher wished the driver a good evening, the driver keyed back up to return this greeting.  Heard callsign WQMA652 at 2107 UTC, which is a positive ID for Van Pool Transportation, LLC, out of Worchester County and Bristol County, Massachusetts.  FB2 station class (mobile relay - repeater) per FCC license 110 watt transmitter power with 220 watt ERP power rating for all 29 MHz, 30 MHz and 31 MHz band repeaters under that callsign / license.
