HF Mystery Signals / UNID 8000 kHz 1434 UTC 10 Jan 2019 signal

« on: January 11, 2019, 0202 UTC »

Strong carrier (-85 dBm at my location currently); about 3Hz wide; might be LSB?.  Has been on since at least 1434 UTC 10 Jan.  TDoA during the day (~2000 UTC) suggests possibly two transmitters...one east coast, one midwest.

Equipment / Antenna phaser?

« on: October 09, 2018, 0217 UTC »

Are there only three antenna phasers on the market (quantum, MFJ, and DXE)?  The latter is waaaay too pricey, and the quantum apparently is only good up to 2000kHz....which leaves the MFJ box, and I know a lot of folks aren’t fans of their equipment.

Was thinking about adding a second LOG and using it as an array with the first one...

Good S4 signal; SIO 333...some interference from Radio Algerienne on 9655, I think.
