General Radio Discussion / Re: A*C*E Bulletins

« on: March 31, 2013, 2116 UTC »

Looked at a few of these and these are really great. I started listening in 1988 and wish I would've had them back then. Would love to see the ones from 1988-1993.

(BTW: ACE03-93.pdf is really March 1995).

Thanks a ton for doing this.

In Sept 1993, they mention the old WRNO on 7355 & 7395, and 15420.

Spy Numbers / Re: V07; 15874 USB; 31 March 2013 @ 0120Z

« on: March 31, 2013, 1845 UTC »

Hi Skeezix, Token's the man when it comes to this station and it's broadcasting habits. 

He knows a ton and freely teaches us all a thing or three. Nothing short of invaluable.

Last night (this morning, whatever you would call it, March 31, 2012, 0100 UTC) V07 sent a null message, no data.  When this family of stations sends a null it only sends 2 transmissions.  So it was on the air at 0100z on 18074 kHz, and at 0120z on 15874 kHz.  But it did not transmit at 0140z on 14374 kHz, as it would have if there had been a full message.

Ha. Figures. 

And thanks for that rather nice list of stuff in the other thread of current active numbers stations. While I already have the links, its nice to have it verified plus the swell list of stations suspected to still be active. Really want to pick up some E, G or S stations from my location. Used to be able to back in the late 80's - early 90's. These days, all I can get is ol' Pedro, and frankly, he bores me. The messages take way too long with that digital mode in there. I guess thats security through frustration.

Did you try listening at 0140Z? I tried on 14374 & 13968, but heard nothing.

I didn't try at 0100 & 0120Z (forgot about it until around 0135Z).
