That is entirely funny that they know nothing about it, yet it somehow randomly(?) turns on & off.

Yaesu FT-847 has a notch that seeks out the offending signal. Seems to work pretty well.

Back in the late 80's/early 90's, I used to grab the RTTY from the ships. My favorites were when they'd send in their grocery lists. There was one where they wanted over 900 eggs (the rest of the list was of very large quantities too). Printed that thing out... but unfortunately, its long gone.

It may be gone from shortwave, but all is not lost. Its still available in studio quality from:

Haven't heard the Firedrake for over a month. Not even once since my last logging on HFU, yet, I still check frequently.

Perhaps a SW pirate can pick up where they left off and broadcast Firedrake on 43m.  ???

Set it to 6318 and then turn the clarify knob until it sounds good.

There's a lot of fun stuff out there. I was listening to Voice of Greece on 9420 kHz earlier tonight and now listening to a very weak pirate (unlicensed broadcaster) on 6925 USB. Later on, going to see if I can pick up Voice of Korea (DPRK, North Korea) on 15180. They have an English language broadcast at 0400Z (9:00pm PDT), also on 13760 and 11735 kHz at the same time.


In case you haven't found it yet, the following link is pretty good for shortwave broadcast schedules:

By mode, I meant is the radio set for AM, USB, LSB, or CW?  For listening to the utility stations (like that one), USB would be the desired mode. Broadcast stations are normally AM. Amateur radio bands under 10 MHz are LSB.

On shortwave, I've found scanning to be fairly useless as the radios don't stop on the weak stations or even the moderately strong stations. If you only care about strong stations, then that's fine, but there's a lot of weak things lurking out there that the radio would never stop on.

The great thing about being a new to this is now you need to listen more for practice.  ;D  


Edit: Looked up that radio and looks like it has AM or SSB (no selection of USB/LSB/CW). From the sound of the video, it sounds like it was in SSB.

The CW ID is KLB.

I think what you've found is their PACTOR email service on 6318.0 (ship receive). What mode was your radio in?
