Someone transmitting only the looped opening rifs of YHWHs music, Days of Hard Night, noticed at 0158 UTC, December 31, 2016, on 6925 kHz USB.  Ended at about 0201 UTC.  Never heard anything else.  About S6 here in the Mojave Desert.

Wolverine with "Testing 123, can anybody hear me" sign on at 0130 UTC, 6950 kHz, USB mode, 18 December, 2016.

Nice signal into the high desert tonight, and sounds good on the house sound system.  Mrs T says Hiya Wolverine, and thanks in advance for the show!

(edit) Possibly a California bound theme, maybe specifically San Francisco, since I think every song has mentioned San Fran.

Former YHWH up 7405 kHz AM, started at 0313 UTC, Dec 10, 2016.

(edit)  Either off mid sentence, or a very deep, sudden, and long fade at 0335z.

Someone posted a plan to transmit on Amelia Earhart's frequencies from one of the islands she may have crashed on.

Details, few though they are, here :  http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=311243

It looks like this is not very well thought out.  The times of transmission will be at 1900 UTC (1400 EST and 1100 PST) on Dec 14 and Dec 15, 2016.  The frequencies used will be the 3105 and 6210 kHz that Amelia Earhart used.

Whoever planned this does not have a deep grasp of propagation.  Those frequencies, by that time of day, will have essentially shut down, as there will be a daylight path from the island to the US and those freqs are regional, at best, during the day.

HF Beacons / Possible new beacon 4096.86 kHz Nov 12 2016 1345 UTC
« on: November 12, 2016, 1511 UTC »
A possible new addition to the 4095 / 4096 cluster of beacons.  This morning I saw a short duration ditter, about 0.15 sec long dit about every 0.95 second on 4096.86 kHz.  I noticed it about 1345 UTC on Nov 12, 2016.

The ditter was very weak, and had long fades to completely gone.  It is possible it is cycling on and off like a few other beacons do (Shorty on 7998.3 kHz and the two unnamed beacons on 2008.4 and 2016.7 kHz), but really it was too weak for me to be sure.

Here is a shot of it, note that in this shot the other 4095/4096 beacons are not present, there was some odd propagation this morning as these beacons are normally seen here quite well:




40 minutes later Viking and Haystack faded up out of the noise, and the new beacon could still be very faintly heard.  As this was right about sunrise and it was a bit cloudy, the Inyo-Whooper is not seen, it is a daytime only beacon and turned on a while later.




And 30 minutes later Inyo-Whooper was on solid, but no sign of the new beacon...if it is one.

So far unided station, 6940 kHz USB, started at 2245 UTC, November 6, 2016.  Good signal in the Mojave Desert.

This morning when Stumpy came online the pause between dits and the dit length is changed.  I do not try to catch it every day, but the last time I did (a few days ago) it was still about 22 seconds from dit to dit, and dit length about 0.17 sec.  But this morning I caught the turn on at about 1429 UTC, and it was 19.37 seconds dit to dit, and dit length is only 0.15 sec.

I thought at first it may be a "just turned on" thing, but an hour later it is still on the same spacing and length.  Also, the freq is slightly higher than it has been.

Utility / USCG DRM, 5200 kHz, DRM mode, 0110 UTC, 06 November, 2016
« on: November 06, 2016, 1340 UTC »
An unknown (to me) DRM signal on 5200 kHz, noticed at 0110 UTC no 6 November 2016, however looking at the waterfall it has been there for some time.

So why aren't I putting this in the Shortwave Broadcast section?  This freq does not appear on any DRM broadcast list I can find, and while the signal has never been strong enough for me to get audio decode, when the station has gotten strong on short peaks the ID/Tag under DRM keeps reading "USCG Journaline".

When I checked this morning, starting about 1300z, the DRM was still present, signal is a bit stronger, however Chinese OTHR is killing the SNR, so still no decode beyond the occasional ID/Tag as above.
