[GreenKeys] Teletype on 4.004 Revisted

The mystery signal is also on 5339kHz. I've got it running in 2 panadapter windows
and they are identical. 4004 is S-9+10  5339 is S-9+. The loop isn't up for the winter
so no null/peak possible with the current antenna. I'm in Nebraska. 0419z

The hardware is most like "glass" TTY and not mechanical. This looks a lot like
the encrypted stuff that used to reside on the 30m band. Someone told me that
one was NAVY from Maine I think.

    To me the interesting part is that this signal has been there, completely unchanged, since 1968 or probably earlier. Same speed, same shift, same every observable characteristic. This, long after the original hardware would have become unrepairable from lack of parts and/or people with the needed skills.

      it is strong in upstate NY also.  I can hear it in the house on a portable with the whip down all the way.

      Maybe we need to set up a DF net.  Anyone have an AN/PRD-1??

        Thanks for that report. That 4.004 RTTY is still there again, right on time,
        and sounds close enough to be in the next room here in SC. Very strong
        and very clear. 

        I am amazed you can hear it in Los Angeles. We know from another in
        the group that it is (was) also heard in Indiana.
