WPAR 6925 USB 1512 UTC 7 DEC 2022
« on: December 07, 2022, 1513 UTC »
1512 SSTV in progress. Scottie DX mode. Partial Decode of two women, no ID. Good signal.
1518 Another Scottie DX SSTV, WPAR ID.
1531 Returned to radio and another SSTV in progress, WPAR. Nice decodes and images but I can't post images, I gave up on that long ago.
1536 Tone sweeps.
1547 Tone sweeps continue. Some weird, very slow multi frequency sweeps. UTE QRM also?

S6 on N1NTE KiwiSDR.

1548 Sweeping sound, but I wouldn't call it a tone sweep.  Sounds kinda like an air-raid siren.
1551 Also a pulsing sound along with the sweeps.  Sounds like OTH radar, but I think it's part of the transmitted signal.
