[Lowfer] 29.4 kHz TACAMO

[Graham]

TACAMO was very active last night / early this morning:

17.8KHz noted on and off from 2013-03-11 05:48 through 11:19 with seven 
sequences of 50FSK then 800MSK then 400MSK

29.4KHz noted on and off from 2013-03-11 05:45 through 09:25 with four 
sequences of 50FSK then 800MSK then 400MSK but finished with 50FSK

29.4KHz seemed to have some TX issues

29.4KHz was weaker than 17.8KHz

Both frequencies were active between 05:48 and 06:12 and again 07:25 
through 07:49 indicating at least two different aircraft. In fact the 
last transmission on 29.4KHZ was considerably weaker than early and may 
have just been changing propagation or perhaps a third aircraft.

All times UTC

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
