Constant Morse on 7.6 mHz?
« on: April 07, 2012, 0114 UTC »
This has been bugging me for a while.  For the last part of the last year and all of this year, we've received a constant stream of morse on 7.6 mHz, at most times of day.  I'm going to assume the broadcast is constant, because it only fades, never just stops.

Googling reveals nothing that I've found, and I only have a noisy MacBook to record to.  Might try it if I get desperate enough.

Mojave Desert, btw.

What does it say? Maybe a Russian naval station...

Peace!

Maybe.  I think I'm going to see if it's on, borrow the MacBook back from my sister.  It's just driving me nuts.  :)

Just to say, that I can't pick him up right now, as of this edit.  I'll try it again later in the day. :)

No CW heard here on 7600 KHz. On 7600 KHz LSB there does appear to be a data signal, though. Are you sure you're not hearing that? It could be 7597-ish KHz USB, as well. Hard to say.

Tuned in (4/9/2912 0328Z). Hear no CW, but hear a nearby digital station.

I think I am confusing the data for morse this time.  Whoops, sorry about that. :-[

My equipment includes a Grundig G6, cheap radio I use most of the time because it's tiny and I love being outdoors, a Sattelit 750, an ancient Sony ICF-7600DS, that was my mother's.  None of these can decode digital.  My apologies. :)

There was a station on 7542 a couple months ago sending Morse "5 5 5 5 5" ... but it disappeared just after I posted something here about the beam heading I got on it. Coincidence? I guess we'll never know.
