Jay's post the other day with the audio clip of JJY CW ID made the Bass fish come
out again... I bit !! missed my window here ( according to Spec Lab captures ) ..
I recorded from 5 to 7 am EST, but the captures showed the strongest signal,
apparent from the 1 Hz keying sidebands, to be from 3 to 6 am EST. SO, I'll try again
tonite at an earlier time.. While trying to peak the antenna for best signal reception,
I easily found the FSK station on 45.90 KHz but it was clobbered by local noise,
Just to see if anything else was " down there " , I rolled the dial below 40 KHz, and
around 9 pm EST , I heard a pretty strong FSK signal on 37.50 KHz.. There was also
noticable QSB on the signal, but it never dropped out completely.. I listened for about
20 minutes while trying to look it up on Google.. The only thing I found repeatedly was
" NRK--37.50 kHz--Keflavik, Island " a US Air Force base in Iceland.. Is that a correct
report ?? It also appears that the station on 45.90 KHz is :
" ITS--45.90 kHz--Niscemi, Sizilien, Italien " That looks like Italy to me, but don't have
a clue.. Is that correct ?? These receptions are using my TS450S.. not the sound card.
73, and good DX to you all:
