A large message sent today by E10 YHF on 7918 kHz at 1130z. It was an 147-group long message starting with IBEIA. Listen it here (it's a bit processed to remove some of the noise). Who knows what this message is; maybe a long, last-moment shopping list for New Year's Eve :-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
At 1000z a message for 570 (a relatively rare call) was sent from two transmitters (?) in AM and USB mode nearly at the same time! Listen what happened, as recorded in USB mode. Three persons were involved! The OM with the deep voice, then the OM in USB and his companion who read the message.
At 1029z the same thing happened for Agent 995. Here's the clip, recorded in AM mode this time.
On both cases the OM with the deeper voice started earlier, in AM mode and with the annoying 1000 Hz "test" tone.
Sun's activity is low, but there are signs of a new cycle starting, as solar physicists say. The source of the excitement is a modest knot of magnetism that popped over the sun's eastern limb on 11th December. Read more here. We're in the bottom of the solar activity for a long time now... so just cross your fingers and hope the scientists are correct!
E25 appeared over Polish Radio with a massive S9+10 while PR alone was only S5-S7. Here's a clip of the transmission, recorded at 1347z using the Icom using USB mode to avoid QRM. Note the slight echo. The message was:
g14
4121 4041 9811 5592 8876 1949 8148 7233 0693 0321
1043 9173 6024 9811
They QRT at 1354z.
I wonder: Should I QSL Polish Radio asking about the "strange man" disturbing their English Program? Or more precisely their Listener's Letters program? Yes they do have one, every Sunday!
Hello guys,
I know a lot of time passed since my last Numbers-related post, so I have a small surprise for you!
This is my new radio, an Icom IC-R75:
And of course is tuned on my favorite station... And it's morning, and you can see the signal strength meter...
So now you can see E25 hihihi!
A new edition of rfax.pdf, the well-known radiofacsimile schedule issued by NOAA can be downloaded from here. Happy hunting!
