North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925 CW 0330 UTC 19JUL2016
« on: July 19, 2016, 0408 UTC »
~0330 Started with "V"s then into 5 letter groups. I got into here
~2 minutes into it and punched Audacity and recorded the
final ~6:30.
~0338 Assumed s/off w/"YYYYY 23233 23233 23233 UVB33 UVB33 UVB33 K"
CW sounded good @ ~18 wpm but the sig was weak w/some QSB and QRN
Guess someone was trying to be a Numbers station...
{Edit 1835 19jul16}
Chris,
Yeah, I had the same thought about the UVB33 after I later read
the posting, in General Discussions, about UVB-76. I didn't copy much
last night as I was doing laundry at the time it was on so I only
was able to be in the shack just before s/off. I did get most of it
on Audacity and plan to play that back and see if there's anything
else of interest...

0348 - Finally a pretty good sig from this station. Easy 59 sig here
(through RN crashes). Sounds best in SAM mode. Anyone
who plays Pink Floyd can't be all bad!
I can still
hear the sweeper in the background - I hear the same(?)
sweeper up around 11+ mHz. Also some ALE under @ 0353

14jul16:
Just read in the USA Today section that the FCC is going to open spectrum
for the future 5G wireless systems at: 28, 37, and 39 GIGAHERTZ!!! With an
additional spectrum at 64 - 71 gHz for unlicensed users! Now that's
ULTRA, ULTRA high freqs! The h/w and s/w will be interesting but I hope
we don't end up with micro cell towers every 100 meters or so.
One of my favorite sayings is: "Only dumb people need smartphones!"
I'm an old poop (and proud of it) and my cell RADIO is a basic one for talking and very
rare text messages. I still mainly depend on my landline phone for calls
to / from other folks.
The "Internet of Things" is one of the most useless ideas I've ever heard.
I mean, I can open my refrigerator and quickly determine if I need anything!

HF Mystery Signals / wideband "noise" ~6200 - 7200 kHz ~2155 11jul16
« on: June 11, 2016, 2252 UTC »
I usually leave the SDR on 6925 kHz if I'm not using it for anything else That was the case this afternoon as I was monitoring the
50, 144, and 432 mHz ham bands when I looked over at the monitor and saw this pattern. Since VHF was dead at the time, I
searched around a bit and I could see the signal(?) ~6200 - 7200 kHz. I could hear a buzz whenever it was in the detector passband
(AM or FM). The signal, or whatever, appears to be gone at this time - 2240. Rcvr is RFSpace SDR-IQ. Sorry, the video file is way too
large to post...
Thanks, Paul
