HF Beacons / "L" Beacon 6917ish 0046 UTC JUNE 16, 2015

« on: June 16, 2015, 0106 UTC »

I'm hearing CW repeating "L" every few seconds since 0046 and still going at 0104 UTC. Hard to figure out exactly what the frequency is...6917.3? S5 here with very little fade...

"Going Up The Country"-Canned Heat was playing at 0008 UTC at S6 here, but gone just before 0010 UTC. Somebody testing? Audio was very clear!

Noticed this at 2320 UTC...don't usually hear anything at all on this frequency. S5/S6 here..sounds mostly like OM talking...agree that it might be a mixing product of some kind.

General Radio Discussion / Re: FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly Says FCC Enforcement Bureau Is A Bully

« on: June 15, 2015, 0002 UTC »

Interestingly enough, if you read the link provided, it is obvious that the entire substance of the first few paragraphs is nothing more than a thinly disguised preamble to yet another attack by Mr. O'Rielly on net neutrality. He has repeatedly expressed his hostility towards net neutrality in a manner not unlike the bullying he is accusing the FCC of doing.

Below is another side to the story....

I'm getting a fair signal on 6939.1 USB (with the Passband Tuning at about 2 PM). The airplane sounding ute is a major problem on LSB. Hearing UNID music at 0031 UTC
Signal jumped up at 2043 UTC and has been listenable since.

Been listening to this since 0002 UTC and I think I heard our friend Abu talking at 0009 UTC. Signal is flutter fading in and out of the noise so it's hard to tell
0021 UTC Clear ID as Abu Dhabi Radio

Darn...just came back from a walk up to Dunkin Donuts. Tuned to 6876 at 1245 UTC but not even a trace of a carrier. The neighbors solar power kicked in while I was out and the microinverter noise is at a solid S9 here No chance of hearing much of anything with that....
