Huh? / Re: Now it all makes sense

LORAN is back on now.

No, really, it is. I have two stations on the Great Lakes chain, at 1205z.

Now that's what I'm talking about. And very glad its back.


A short time after posting my previous message, received this spam in the mail with the subject:

We were told of the shutdown of HAARP. Yet, its not really being shutdown.

We were also told that LORAN-C was shutdown in Feb 2010. Yet, there have been recent tests of the LORAN transmitters.

Hearing R Rebelde under R Enciclopedia on 530.

Verified as it as R Rebelde as its // 5025 (nearly so, 530 is a fraction of a second behind 5025).


This is the second Cuban I've caught. Two in one night. Stumbled across them while looking for Mexico.

Very strong at the top of the hour, 45424 S9. Gave clear ID "Radio Enciclopedia."

0420Z SINPO on R Enciclopedia is 32423, due to the co-channel interference from R Rebelde. Rebelde is approximately the same. Both are fading up & down.


First Cuban I've caught on MW.


Hearing three distinct stations:
- Radio Enciclopedia
- Radio Rebelde
- CIAO
 

Fortunately, CIAO is straight east of me and Cuba is south, so can null CIAO.

I didn't move it... was about to until I saw it was already where it belonged.

Earlier, heard 26110 from ? and it was doing fair. Until they went off. Maybe next time.

Not hearing that one nor any other of the STLs in 25-26 MHz around 2000Z. Only a few scattered weak freebanders.

1744Z 35232 S7 FM feed from somewhere. Lots of static.

1748Z 35222 S7 Back on, no audio.
1749Z 35222 S7 Audio has returned.

Its definitely around here. One day I happened to be driving around when it was on and as I drove a few miles east, it dropped out.

Tuned in 1320Z this morning to see what's on and the x-band (1620-1700) is still going strong. Tuned to 1690 and hearing a talk show, which is WVON from Chicago. Rotated the loop and heard "Monster Mash," but it ID'd as R Disney, which is KDDZ from CO. These stations will be going away in the near future as the sun continues to rise and energizes the D layer.

Didn't catch any FMers or anything of interest.

While waiting for the unknown carrier to show up on 26875, was listening to some guy on 26905 AM droning on & on. He claimed was using a 1kW linear with "a bunch" of 8950s.
