LOGS : 15 - 21 FEB 2016

Post by Ray Lalleu »

Hi,

Puzzled by a few logs :
- UNID (~Saada??) on Monday morning (any idea ?)
- UNID 6910LSB on Thursday (not the usual style of Baltic Sea R.)
- my UNID 6317,3 on Sunday could be the Wild West heard by DrTim on 6315, but that's an unusual discrepancy between us

About the unclear IDs by woman voices, is this due to synthetic speech ? Normally, woman voices should be clearer than man voices. Maybe a fundamental problem with those programmes, or maybe something linked to the stupid English phonetics ?

Tips in time order, except when linked with a "|" in the spacing line.

Letter after kHz : a=approx., u=USB, L=LSB, v=bit of drift, V=real drift, w/W=drifting both ways, wandering

mx=music, tk=talk, D=Dutch, E=English, G=German, F=French, it.=Italian, sp.=Spanish, rpt=report, v.=very,
e.=extremely w.=with, '=..ing, c'/d=closing down, M/W=man/woman, g'=greeting, ut=utility, SM=summer meeting ad

> =becoming/then, bb=boom-boom mx, bpm=beat per min, [ between sq. brackets : best fit ID, thanks quick logs ]
Please note that c'/d is a period from a few seconds to well more than an hour before the real switch off !
"Strength" notes (from e.weak to V.strong) are rather S/N notes by ear, not S-meter levels.
