North American Shortwave Pirate / Wolverine Radio 6935 kHz USB 0056 UTC February 14 2016
« on: February 14, 2016, 0057 UTC »
Wolverine testing on 6935 kHz USB 0056 UTC, Feb 14, 2016.
Testing 1, 2, 3
And then Wolverine ID
As usual, great signal into the Mojave Desert. Playing on the house sound system, and wife got the Valentines / Love connection immediately. Got her trained well to think about themes
(edit) Hmmm...apparently Walk theme, not love, although the first songs were all torch songs.
(edit) Valentines Day song at 0157, followed by SSTV of flowers.

Pee Wee on 6955 kHz, USB mode, 0226 UTC, February 12, 2016. Bluesy music or at least Blues inspired. S6 into the Mojave Desert.
CW ID at 0237, with more than ID, however I had the radio turned down and only noticed the CW in time to hear Pee Wee.
Off at 0240.

Solar Centric Radio with music at 2113 UTC, 23 January, 2016, on 6935.35 kHz in AM mode. I tuned in at 2113 UTC but from the waterfall it looks like they started at 2100 UTC. ID at 2116 UTC, and announced that in a few minutes he would be playing a song in "hi fidelity, I hope you have wide filters because I ain't using any".

HF Beacons / Some beacons this morning, January 10, 2016
« on: January 10, 2016, 1715 UTC »
Although I look for/at beacons often, I am not very consistent on reporting them. With the apparent recent additions to the beacon world, Viking, Haystack, the new Windy, and others, I thought I might run around the hobby / unofficial beacons once and post what is being heard here this morning, January 10, 2016. These are the known beacons heard this morning.
Pre-sunrise:
1444 UTC 2008.36 kHz, periodic beacon, 90 seconds and 3 minutes off, 0.15 sec dit every 2.5 seconds
1445 UTC 2018.4 kHz, periodic beacon QRM preventing accurate measurements
1447 UTC 2097.3 kHz, A, sending Morse A every 9.8 seconds
1448 UTC 4094.51 kHz, X, sending Morse X every 6.75 seconds
1450 UTC 4095.9 kHz, Viking, 3.1 second dash every 6.25 seconds
1450 UTC 4096.3 kHz, Hexie, 1.0 second dash every 2.2 seconds
1450 UTC 4096.4 kHz, Haystack, 2.3 second dash every 5.4 seconds
1454 UTC 4101.93 kHz, Windy, W followed by dits to indicate wind speed, now includes periodic "TMP XX B XXX" where TMP appears to be temperature and B appears to be Battery voltage
1458 UTC 7998.4 kHz, 0.75 second dash every 3.1 seconds
1500 UTC 8500.08 slow dasher, too weak to get accurate measurements on dashes and timing
Post-sunrise:
1518 UTC, 4097 kHz, Inyo-Whooper, for the first 20+ minutes after this one comes on the sag during transmission is much smaller and the frequency starts shifting down as time goes on
1536 UTC, 4095.92 kHz, Coxie, 5.8 second dash (pronounced chirp on leading edge) every 10.4 seconds
1540 UTC, 6625.9 kHz, Rainy
1604 UTC, 8193.7 kHz, Marin Dit, 0.15 second dit every 0.95 second
1633 UTC, 6626.4 kHz, Rocky
1737 UTC, 6700.4 kHz, Hexy2k
As normal I ran across several other ditters / dashers that might or might not be hobby / unlicensed. Deciding what to post to this forum and what to not can be interesting. One that might be interesting to keep an eye on is right below the Rocky / Rainy pair, I have it in my log a couple of times now:
1535 UTC, 6623.64 kHz, dasher, 1.5 second dash every 3.0 seconds
(edit) Hexy2k did eventually show up, as noted above.
