Most of the MARS 110A traffic is encrypted unless they're doing test transmissions with new users.  The trick with 110A is you need to decode within about 2-3 secs of the transmission start or it can't sync properly.

Sorcerer works pretty well for the most part just be sure to add the ITA2 decoder so it'll be readable.

The encrypted traffic is just garbage upon output.

thank you. I have Sorcerer but i never tried to decode 110A. the next time i come across one of these nets using it i will try.

Ok i will keep logging and posting these. that's a really interesting blog you posted too!

94
so are these Boeing test flight loggings helpful? i'm just wondering if i should keep posting them. i have no idea of the transmitter power of the planes or Boeing Everett and Boeing Seattle so i'm not sure they'd be heard beyond the local area. i'm still very new at all this so let me know if i should keep posting them or not.  :)

i think you're right! honestly, i'm going to have to pick up Korean, Mandarin, Japanese and maybe Tagalog. i'm already semi-fluent in Thai.  ;) if only i could pick up more signals from south rather than west. i'm very good with Spanish. one of my relatives teaches English in China so maybe she can help me with my Mandarin when she isn't busy.

looks like i have another Boeing Test Flight frequency. i was monitoring 11175 and saw a signal pop up on 11306, one of Boeing's HF frequencies. this was interesting because there is currently what looks and sounds like an over the horizon radar very strong over a range of frequencies 11306 was right in the middle of.

the pilot made note of that too and couldn't hear Boeing Everett well through it (nor could i). he said "Can we move to 5451 to see if that ticking sound goes away?" so i moved there and they performed some SELCAL checks. the pilot then asked "what UHF frequency would for you today?" Boeing Everett replied back 230.25 Mhz and they moved there.both were heard loud and clear on 5451 i do not have a UHF antenna otherwise i would have tried to follow them there.

i recorded the spectrum in SDRUno. i'll try to find a place to upload it but yeah your description of how it sounds is exactly what i heard.

99
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question but does anyone know what this signal is? It sounds digital but its bandwidth is very wide and covers 200khz of space between 6750-6950khz. It doesnt look or sound like CODAR at all either.

picking this up out here in Seattle weakly. sounds like some sort of rock song. can't make out much more than that.

101
omg! that's awesome! you guys are great with the information.

102
Very surprising to pick this up here in Seattle. I've never heard anything on this frequency previously but tonight it has been very active with Dakar Radio working various flights. Propagation has been great the last couple of days at my location. for instance i pretty clearly heard KLM flight 706 which FlightAware showed over the Atlantic almost halfway between South America and Africa. also heard Speedbird (British Airways) 251 and Delta 200 while they were in the middle of the Atlantic.

103
i picked up this USB voice communication between Boeing 298 and Boeing Everett & Boeing Seattle while setting up to decode HFDL from Guam on the same frequency. i just pulled BOE298 up on flightaware and am watching its flight: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE298

Just heard several aero comms between planes and "Flightwatch". One of the planes called them "Brisbane Flightwatch" so I looked at my HF Aero Map and found out this is an RDARA (domestic HF aero) frequency in Australia! Skip conditions must be really good right now for signals making the trip across the Pacific to my Seattle location. I noticed VMC on 6507 khz USB coming in clearly and Radio New Zealand International booming in at an S8 on 6115 khz AM too.

I've previously heard their SSB marine weather transmissions on a different frequency but this was some sort of beacon repeating XSG followed by 3 digital mode (not sure which) tones over and over again.
