We've been listening to Sam for a few nights now Al and there has been quite a discussion about it on the glowbugs list. Check out this link for an audio recording I made of Yosemite Sam with my K2:
http://www.k6ese.com/data/yosemitesam/Yosemite_Sam_3700KHz_12-21-04_0413UTC_LSB.wav Many of us are thinking along the lines that it's some kind of Military or CIA station for training or other... If anyone has a clue there's a bunch of us interested... Check out 3700 KHz and he'll be there every 40 seconds...There's some kind of Digital burst transmission right before it... 73 Trev - K6ESE ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 11:43 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Any OO's on reflector? I was up in the novice band again tonight, calling CQ (with no answers). I heard some weird signals. The weirdest is on exactly 3700.00 LSB; exactly every 40 seconds, a recording of Yosemite Sam saying, "Varmint, I'm-a gonna blow you to smithereens!!" Can anyone else hear that? But aside from this unidentified signal, there are many other mystery signals. For example, I planted myself on 3720 and halfway through my CQ I heard a weak carrier. I paused, thinking it was somebody trying to break me, but nothing. This happened on several other frequencies between 3700 and 3723 or so. It was as if I was triggering an automated station with my signal. At one point, I was lighting up these weak carriers and 'long dash' stations as I tuned down from 3720, leaving a trail of them in my wake. Does anyone know what these are? No wonder nobody goes into the Novice band anymore! What an unpleasant experience.
