I hear it on 3700 LSB, but also on 3700 USB. Tuning away from 3700, I
don't hear a carrier, so it doesn't appear to be AM. Who uses DSB these
days?

Hey, let's find him. If every Kn owner builds a small 3 element yagi for DF
and sends the bearing of the null to the list, and their location, we'll
have good data. Let's see ... 3700 kcps, director size ... , reflector size
 Is that a large antenna?

Check out 3700 KHz and he'll be there every 40 seconds...

Someone might also want to alert the IARU Region 2 Monitoring System
(http://www.storm.ca/~iarumsr2/). I'm sure they'd be interested in this, if
they don't already know about it.

I alerted the ARRL intruder watch yesterday. Here's their reply:

Ron,
 
Tom forwarded your report to me.  Thanks very much for it.  I have gotten
reports overnight from TN and CA on this also.  I will see if our monitoring
people can help locate a source for this.  That is a bit different.  I would
appreciate any further reports on this if it continues.

If you are hearing it - during the day especially since that would pin down
the general location - I'm sure Chuck would appreciate hearing about it. 

In general, if you are hearing what is clearly an intruder on the Ham bands,
it's a good idea to send off a report to Chuck. With Ham-band rigs now
hammer simple to plug in and fire up on the air, intruders are sure to
become a growing nuisance unless we jump right on them.

Well, it's not audible here (Extreme Northwest Georgia) now (1800Z). It was
very readable (tho not overly strong) early this morning (1200Z).

Sorry, I forgot the e-mail address for the ARRL Field and Regulatory
Correspondent where you can send intruder reports like the Yosemite Sam
DSB signal on 3700 kHz.

[Elecraft] Any OO's on reflector?

2004-12-20 Thread al_lorona

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.

2004-12-20 Thread Trev - K6ESE
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...
