Re: [IRCA] 1500 Khz "Mystery Station"

The noise here is much stronger with WFED nulled. With a different radio I'm still putting the rough bearing at 310 from my QTH. WDEB is a possibility. Rob Keeney Goose Creek SC EM92xx On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 9:25 PM, Rick Dau wrote: > Here's what we've got to work

Friday night I logged WAYS with CBS Sports Radio and WDCP s/off, although their programming did continue(CH?). The noise never reached a level I could DF. Saturday night and last night produced some better results. Several times the noise reached a level on my PL-390 that allowed me to get a

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

My understanding is that the best way to obtain a bearing to a station is the procedure that Fred outlined below. Using a bi-directional loop, rotate the portable radio or loop antenna until you achieve the deepest null on the desired station (or mystery signal in our case). Make a note of

Hi there. I am in Acworth GA, just north of Atlanta. I have heard this noise for months and assumed it was local to me. As for WDPC, they are pretty good about going to CH and signing off. I do not believe it is them. That being said; the noise sounds like some lower stages of a transmitter that

Glenn says he's getting it strongest on a 95 degree bearing from Enid. Tim, you say that you're only hearing it on your south antenna. Les, from your QTH in Maylene, I would suggest pointing your antenna due north. If my suspicion is correct, the warble should almost be blowing your doors

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Well, it shoots down my suspicion that WLAC was somehow causing this warble 10 KHz down from its home frequency. So the mystery continues, it looks like. And I have no shot at hearing it here. I'm 2 miles from the tower of KOMJ 1490 (I'm 78 degrees from it) and if I turn the loop 90

Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Most of us are using bi-directional (simple) loops, but we’re spread out geographically. If we plot these on a map, we should be able to determine the location pretty quickly. Assuming that the culprit is a licensed broadcaster with transmitter problem, there are a limited number of suspects.

The “warbler” was on again tonight—audible from just after 5PM until I returned home just after 7PM. WFED in Washington, DC was audible at times in the mix, but not strong enough to tell if the signal is riding on their sidebands. Signal wasn’t quite as strong tonight as last, but still easy
