Broadcast Announcements / Will There Be An FDR Broadcast on 6 June?

« on: June 05, 2018, 2026 UTC »

Seems like a good date for it, the anniversary of D-Day. A speech by FDR? By Eisenhower? Churchill? De Gaulle?

Signal is pretty good in Finland at the moment, with 30 meters of wire thrown out the window for an antenna. My CW copy is weak these days but got the "COMMON AND PRECIOUS" and missing some of the other info.

2215 UTC - fading down rapidly

Perhaps "infamy" is a better term.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Rolling QRM from 3000-10000 khz - What Is It?

« on: June 01, 2018, 2153 UTC »

I am able to determine that it starts @ 10 AM local time - like clockwork.

So something on a timer. Anything where the frequency isn't terribly well controlled and allowed to drift, which means probably lots possibilities. As others have mentioned, grow lights are possible or maybe a fish tank heater, a swimming pool pump, air conditioning, an air humidifier, HEPA filter unit, LED light power supplies, etc. Many possibilities.

It matters little but Las Vegas, NV is on Pacific Daylight Time right now, not Pacific Standard Time.

I'm in Finland these days and I hear a weak carrier with music right now. Too weak to ID, too weak to gather much information on. Just wondering if any one else hears it. Possible announcement or ID at 2055 UTC.

unless it's already the Holiday season with German tourists in Italy with their SW transmitters ?

Natürlich!

Far too early for French vacationers (and Swedes) but Germans will take vacation any time of year.

I have nothing in that frequency (area) for a while and when I did hear something it was very, very weak. It might be that the TX was near to me and the signal was skipping over me.
