Other / CPN9 5838 CW 1925 UTC 15 August 2018

« on: August 15, 2018, 1946 UTC »

Heard in Italy.

"CPN9" looking to establish contact before 1930 UTC. Seemingly established it at 1930 UTC then proceeded to send mixed letters and numbers (no firm group size, I I think) but I missed the ID of the station they were calling. After a long message at ~1931-1934 UTC, pretty quiet with occasional transmissions to reply to whoever they were in communication with.

CW was certainly sent "live" - the operator made mistakes and s/he would correct themselves with the universal repeated 5 or 6 dit symbol of "I goofed". Speed was ~10 WPM, which is just a little too fast for me to copy manually right now so missed large chunks of what was sent.

Not to take this thread back to the original topic    but.....

I used TDoA early this morning and noted "direct hits" on the Chicago area with different sets of receivers. Not that there was any doubt.  That transmitter takes up 10+ KHz at a time.

Announcement in English at 1916 UTC but fading is bad enough that I missed some of it.
