HF Beacons / HF Beacon 13564 kHz strong signal

« on: March 08, 2016, 1748 UTC »

HF Beacon on 13563 kHz, S5, solid signal with some static crashes. Difficult to believe this is a 4 mW transmitter using 1/2 wave dipole from an apartment in Madison, WI USA.

11175 kHz, USB, 2143UTC, 056MAT2016, SIO 555 +20 over.
This appears to be a EAM message intended for LQ5PX followed by a 25 alphanumeric character string.  Very loud.

Possibly fishermen speaking rough French, perhaps Acadians or Labradorians. Check 11121 kHz, USB, listen for a long time to hear conversations between Captains. Good signal into Mid-Atlantic Piedmont SIO 423.

Shortwave Broadcast / 9395 kHz - is this WRMI

« on: March 06, 2016, 1824 UTC »

9395 kHz, AM, 1748 UT, 06MAR2016, No station identifier for more than 1 hour. Program now is 'Gospel Greatest' an affiliated TRUnews program from the 'Son Power Radio' using WRMI, Okeechobee, FL USA. Signals began with SIO 242 and now 344 with fading. Was this the old Global24 frequency? Can't find any ULS listing.

Agree - good opportunity to practice Digital AM Mode reception and decoding. Prefer Fldigi for PC/Laptop. AndFlmsg for Android devices works really well. MultiPSK works but images not as good as FLDigi and Text field-length is limited in free-versions.  Remember to enable the RSID for mode changes and center audio freq on 1500.
