Overall weak but some strong peaks. Clear audio.

We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
I think your "reliable source" is winding you up.
I used to have pics and a video of the TX room which I got from Ken in Scotland. Not sure if I have still have them.
There were a couple of 807 rigs which were broadcasting the same programs on 2 frequencies.
Also an ET4336, a small single 813 rig and a single 807 rig which I think was the 12 Mhz TX.
ID was Class 95.
Break in audio. Now different music at 18.39.
Freq seems to be 6297
Not on this occasion.

Was hearing a weak station with female voice. Now too weak to hear audio.

« on: April 27, 2019, 1511 UTC »I reckon that The Bogeyman came face-to-face with Bogusman, thanks to tracking and triangulation. Once close by, the Bogeyman's task wil have become much easier due to detection of Bogusman's ground wave, and in that scenario there will only be one winner, especially as Bogusman was transmitting from his abode.
From fairly reliable sources, I have heard that Ofcom uses a new method of triangulation which involves multiple remote drones receiving direct-line of sight signal from the unlicensed HF transmitter, and thus gaining precise triangulation of the TX site, sometimes at a distance of 100 or more km, if topography and drone height allow... this basically avoids Ofcom having to hunt for a hf groundwave at a distance of a few miles from the HF transmitter.
So it is now possible for Ofcom to triangulate precisely, within a few meters, the source of HF radiation in the United Kingdom, using remote drones at the appropriate height during calm weather conditions, at very low cost. This works well under long skip conditions, and badly under NVIS propagation conditions.

Ray, I don't think the operator of 6230 is always at home so if the internet stream to the transmitter drops, then he isn't there to restart it.

Equipment / Surplus crystals
« on: April 17, 2019, 1547 UTC »
Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but I've a number of crystals that are no good to me.
Frequencies are 7840, 7920 and 7960. Multiple quantities of each.
I think these are ex-military and are in sealed cans, not FT 243.
Going cheap. Anybody interested, let know, otherwise I'll probably bin them.
