HF Beacons / Beacon at 4.056 Mhz
« on: March 12, 2011, 0049 UTC »
Heard a Beacon today on 4.056 Mhz at 1:15 pm East cost time here at my QTH in Coeburn VA, seemed to be a dasher, was very loud at times then would fade, lost it around 1:50 pm east cost time, is this a known Beacon?  tried to make a recording but I messed that up.

General Radio Discussion / ICOM 718 Pirate Friendly??
« on: August 10, 2009, 0723 UTC »
got a Icom 718 HF all band transceiver, ok here is the deal, It will broadcast on 6925 USB ??? and according to the manual and Icoms website its not suppose to be able to broad cast anywhere near there.

Ive just passed my armature tests for general class so ive not actually transmited into anything but a dummy load so I could test the rig out.
needless to say I almost pissed my pants when I noticed it actuall put out full power at that frequency, now other frequency's like the CB band around 27 mhz that its not suppose to transmit at it didnt, rig told me to kiss off, it simply refused to TX

so im sorta at a loss as to why it would transmit at 6925 when its not suppose to??? I know you can mod this rig to transmit on any freq with the removal of like 3 surface mount diodes but that would make it transmit on ANY of the HF which it dose not.

the radio is brand new, im the 1st owner, is this normal for this rig or have I got a "Special" unit somehow LOL

Left the SDR IQ recording overnight got something pretty interesting

starting at around 4 am east coast time, sorry haven't figured out the whole UTC time thing yet but im working on it :-)
played 5-7 songs and it ended I wanna say around 6 or 7 am with "Walking in Memphis" then off the air, noise picked up pretty bad at this point because by now it was getting daylight or had already started.

over all it was a fairly strong signal, went over the recording real quick so far heard no ID played during this time period.

I will post the whole recording later, must get back to college work for now.
