Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
Is the loop outdoors or indoors? Polarized vertically or horizontally? In the future, attached to a public SDR? Are you able to copy beacon Morse code telemetry or just the main carrier?
6700.540 KHz Hexie2K, really nice signal on the KX3, about 20 dB over the noise
Thanks for the updates MB. I've updated the on-air/off-air lists
I'll post up if I can hear Gendarme at home today
What I found interesting during my monitoring was the alpha-number-alpha format of the callsigns and I1C's unfamiliarity with how the USAF runs the global HF network. Going from memory, the second phone patch didn't work because the called party refused to talk over the Air Force patch and hung up twice in a row. Next I1C was insisting that Yakota basically take a message about some exercise he was involved in but Yakota kept insisting he was unreadable and please repeat again. I1C went away.

1013 UTC: Good signals from both Windy and the DW. This was using my newly built (but not yet finished) 10 ft diameter resonant loop antenna. Better reception than the sky loop. So we're moving in the right direction.
Is the loop outdoors or indoors? Polarized vertically or horizontally? In the future, attached to a public SDR? Are you able to copy beacon Morse code telemetry or just the main carrier?

HF Beacons / Re: Currently Active Beacons Chat
« on: May 13, 2021, 1717 UTC »In the news I can neither confirm nor deny, allegedly:
~6627.0 kHz "Gendarme" - a whooping/'siren' beacon quick-falling in-freq. whooper/chirper beacon - deliberately the result via a 100 uF cap. on the voltage rail from the 2w panel and the freq. falls during cap. discharges on key-on. 50% duty-cycle/0.5 watts. OTA 10th May 2021 - 10.45 PDT. Somewhere in the southern Great Basin... sun-only/formerly 'Rocky' - named by a cool artist lady whom heard the thing and named it...
Big. S7 sigs on the KiwiSDR (KFS-SE) Half Moon Bay, CA at 14.30 PDT today... stronger than 6700.5 HexY2K.
Tnx. Jim/Chris for this HFU fun and the great bcn. lists... 73 de MB
Thanks for the updates MB. I've updated the on-air/off-air lists
I'll post up if I can hear Gendarme at home today

MAINSAIL to CORDO 14, QSY to 11056.0 kHz;
Requested phone patch to commercial [I removed the phone number to keep it private];

Interesting traffic going on.
India One Charlie was calling Hickam Global over and over. After a bit he called Yokota who responded. I1C requested a phone patch (couldn't copy the number) and was directed by Yakota to "QSY" to 11,052 KHz USB
I1C is there on the patch right now but it's poor copy compared to 11,175
Patch has finished but I1C requested a number xxx 473-3931 (I think)
