checking for other hets and I see something on 1124.989, haven't researched this one yet. Weaker then 1566 but consistent on Eu wire at 0445 ut On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 4:38 AM, Don Moman VE6JY wrote: > quite visible and audible het here at 0435, carrier about 18 db above the > floor.

Re: [IRCA] Unid on 6668.060 LSB

6668.05a LSB good signal here for the last half hour, now 0033 ut with many KISM and Classic 92.9 ids, ads etc. Seems unusually hard to tune the voice exactly - almost like it is fed into the transmitter at slightly the wrong pitch. No idea as to who or why Don VE6JY On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at

Re: [IRCA] Unid on 6668.060 LSB

The signal seemed to be present at decent levels here all last evening. This morning (Ap 28th) I checked and I am hearing the same kind of hard to tune in music on 6668.25ish but in USB now, at 1554 ut certainly not // KISM internet, music ended, mostly an open mike with male voice swearing and cur

[IRCA] Early TA hets

roughly a half hour before sunset here in Alberta, 2305 utc, a quick visual scan showed quite a few decent hets in the upper part of the band: 1584 1575 1557 1512 1503 1494 1485 1467 1422 1377 1341 1215 1206 were the more noticeable ones but many other traces too. Incidentally 1575 had a very we

[IRCA] 1503 and 1575 carriers

at ~0100 ut Jan 16th, observing carriers on both 1503 and 1575. Using the Perseus in .098 span/.12 hz RBW and quite a long average to come up with these, and trying to keep the calibration accurate - something I have lots of trouble doing. I wouldn't even be certain these are good to 1 hz. Every

[IRCA] Alberta (North) TP's etc for Jan 16th

Not very exciting up this way, just some hets on the usual suspects on the ToH recordings. Only hilite yet discovered was KINY Juneau 800 at 1500ut with clear id under CHAB. After hearing KINY I went back and checked other promising channels for Alaskans but nothing. For the last week or so I've

carriers and audio everywhere 2130 ut 230 pm local. ham bands have been great, working Europe on 80m at midday and even hearing CW signals on 160. One of those magic low band days. Good thing the bands are hot as we have some -40 temps forecast here, plus wind chills in the -60's. 73 Don VE6

130 pm local, 2030 ut Just remembered to check the upper MW end on the Perseus and the first thing I noticed was 1540 was way off frequency - 1539 to be exact. It had the full modulation pattern I'd expect to see from a domestic 1540 - but no trace of any 1540 carrier for a few minutes. All the h

Not quite as lively today, many hets in the top half of the band, but audio is scarce. 1575 and the others are in with a solid hets but Farda is the only one noted with consistent audio. To sorta answer your question Walt, that seems to be the norm, the big transmitters likely have carriers visib
