12/28 Update, US

Post by Andrew Yoder »

Hi,
Thanks to everyone who's broadcasting right now, but unfortunately the signals just aren't quite making it to me--they must all be going to Dave...he's created some sort of DX black hole around Dunlo.

Anyway, lots of carriers, but very little audio for me. I'm disappointed because I strung out a 300' antenna in the afternoon. I thought I'd do better.

FRSH via Mystery, 6220, 0805+ Fair sig. Sign on with countdown & heavily produced, working in IS, etc. Repeated addresses, phone #, etc. Not a bad signal, but Mystery usually does better here

R. Boomerang: 6260, 0802-0810+ Good (and wide) carrier, but weak audio. "You are listening to Radio Boomerang" at 0802, then into Bangles "Walk Like an Egyptian" Not 100% sure of the ID because it was weak & I didn't re-listen to the recording.

And now the carriers. Not all of these are probably pirates, some possibly utilities, etc., but I heard the following around 0800: 3905, 3924.95, 3945, 5810 (Playback Int'l?), 5820 (Orion R.?), 6240.3, and 6310.

Again, thanks to everyone who took the effort to broadcast. Have a great morning..it's now 4:30 AM here & I'm going to check the radio again & then go back to bed :)

Hi Andrew,

So, this phenomenon isn't localized to the west coast? Sad to hear it exists, but good to know I ain't crazy! :lol:

Cheers!

Whoops...also the Boomerang log should be in the 0900 time frame, not 0800.

When I went back to the radio after typing the logs at 0940, the signals were weaker still, but FRSH was still there and I had carriers at 6264.84, 6280, and 6310.
