USB_Carrier/Assigned

"USB Carrier" Hmmmmm.

And the "assigned" column looks more like it ought to be the USB and vice-versa, assuming they are assigning by carrier frequencies.

I realize that you are just the messenger but...

Hi Ray,

For some bad English speaking persons, 'the white man' = 'the man in white' ?

In this case, I can tell from his free-speaking ability that his level of comprehension in English is quite high. I also want to point out that this sentance was repeated several times along with several other racist lyrics. This wasn't just a misunderstanding.

As for the other items, if I understand you correctly you are saying that there are some strange, explainable things going on and perhaps Continental Radio was being "faked" or "spoofed" (in English) by another operator. Is that correct?

French pop at 1919 UTC but cut mid-song to EN vocal song.
Racist song "The white man is on the rise."  <--- Fuck you, pirate. I'm tuning out of this shit right now.

"Hey kids, let's play 'follow the drifting VFO' tonight!" This is pretty nuts. As soon as I publish frequencies, it is out of date.

3923.06 at 1849 UTC.
3922.76 at 1854.    ---> -500 Hz in 8 minutes.

Equipment / Re: Ridiculously High SWR for G5RV Jr.

« on: November 17, 2018, 0228 UTC »

No, I don't. However that won't stop me from asking questions. 

1) From memory, the SWR of a G5RV varies wildly over 3-30 MHz so it may just be that the frequency points you mention happen to have high SWR.
You do have 1.7 at 28.5 MHz so that gives me hope that the antenna isn't totally FUBAR. I seem to remember that many G5RVs are sort of resonant around 11-16 MHz so how about just plotting that range in 0.25 MHz steps while using the coax and seeing if you hit any sort of reasonable (VSWR < 2.0) nulls in that range?

2) How easy is it for you to connect your antenna analyzer to the feed point of the antenna without using the coax at all? (Yeah, I know it's getting cold outside.) Even if you have to physically lower the feedpoint temporarily for this exercise, it would be worth it to see to see the antenna alone like this, given that the SWR is so high using the coax. I don't know what to expect but I 'm trying to see if the antenna by itself actually has (more) reasonable SWR at some frequency, any frequency, this way.

Caught the moment of the very beginning of transmission on SDR screen and rolled over to the frequency. Good audio with UNID rock music. SINPO 44333 with some fading on RX in eastern Canada.

2221 TX off mid-song.

A good carrier in Scandinavia but it's in The Ghoul's LSB and makes it hard to understand.
1800 UTC - no signal.

1647 UTC - ID (sort of). Plug for an internet streaming on someone else's server "...brought to you by Radio Armadillo". Signal on SDR in Germany is reasonable. SINPO 33343.
1710 - noting that signal in northern Scandanavia is better than southern Europe. Essentially no signal found on any SDRs in UK, NL, DK. (Skipzone)
1756 - fading down. SINPO 23222 in Sweden and Germany.
