LOGS : 09 - 15 DEC. 2013

Post by Ray Lalleu »

Hi,

Much lines in green on week days, mainly because the quick logs were very scarce. In green also an early time tip.

Strange situation on saturday, with very different logs from all Europe, many stations on the air, and jamming on saturday afternoon. With stations trying to escape from the jamming, Tango Italia playing leapfrog and Artem relayed by how many stations, it was not easy to keep up with the events, nor it was easy to cross check the logs!

About the same thing on Sunday, but I was away most of the afternoon. Look at the strange leapfrog near 6200 from 1140 to 1155 UTC. By comparison, I'm quite polite by nicknaming the jammer "Goose Brain".

About the jamming, a het 1 kHz off or so is quite easy to identify as such. I'm less easy with the white noise, not so different from the Stanag transmissions (except when it follows the station trying to escape on an other frequency).

To be clear, I use the inverted slash "\" to introduce the disturbances (QRM, noise, fading...). I use "traffic" for SSB voice communications from fishermen, freebanders, etc...

Now for the logs, hope there are no typos...
