I read above someone said the FCC didnt want this....... If it does go into effect they dont have to enforce it if they dint want to do they? (If they dont want it to begin with)

What happens is fcc forgets/disregards to look into a matter as described to them by some licensed bcaster, thus the manager of said bcaster emails his or her congressional representation, shtf at fcc, so you can be sure if a local bcaster gets pissed at you, things will happen.

Was in the other room and had forgotten to switch the rig to 8MHz @ 1800 when a burst of about 30wpm morse started on 12464 @ 2222Z, long after the usual switch to night primary on 8mHz. It had a very bad auroral zone flutter to it, making it very hard to read. Lasted about 10 mins and that was it, Moscow time was 0122.

Earlier today saw why there'd been no traffic noted on 12464 the last days or so, it was tuned to 12364.

LOL





have fun with your 9000!

Might be, they had a black sea exercise not too long ago that may have kept them busy as President Putin was there overseeing everything.

We might rationally expect to see daily traffic from the Shakter as it's a "research" vessel, but perhaps not from the Bubnov as the Boob (heh) will often be on ops with the fleet - aka the reason she exists, in such cases she likely sails under hf emcom (emission control aka radio silence) as far as sending wx reports we've been copying of late.
In general, when you hear QTC in the traffic it means there's a message to pass. usually wx/sea state related.

A Guide to the NanoVNA: Kindle eBook for $2.99

With the NanoVNA (and upcoming NanoVNA 2.0) being so affordable and readily available many budget focused RF enthusiasts and hams are now adding a tool to their arsenal that used to only be for the wealthy and commercial users. Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) allow you to do things like make SWR measurements on antennas, characterize RF filters and detect coax cable faults, among other applications.
