[NLRS] FM carrier with roger beep on 144.200 at 85 degrees azimuth

[KB0DCO Thomas]

Hello Mary WØAAT and fellow Amateurs,

I normally don’t get on here all that often, but been on the NLRS email
reflector for some years now. I’ve been into Fox hunting for many years. I
thought I might be able to try to help here if I can.

If other hams are hearing stuff send me an email directly to me at
KB0DCO at gmail.com or REPLY here at NLRS. The more data I can get from other
hams, I will try to compile the data on this map using CalTopo. It is a
live link till I delete the map. (https://caltopo.com/m/4Q5U7 screenshot
below.) To try track down man made noises. Either being made by industrial
machines or a person who is interfering with ham radio communications.

On this map, I’ve made a custom colors elevations on the map. It’s
something I’m using to study the terrain a bit better. Anyone can turn
items on and off in the columns on either side of the map. At this time, I
believe I’m the only one that can add/edit this map. (Let me know if you
are able to.)

So after seeing your message, I thought this was interesting to me because
I’ve also heard something stop my radio scanning on 144.200 from my
location from time to time. But not enough to have a significant signal
reading here in Stewart using a 5/8 wave mag mount antenna inside my
apartment.

For those looking to help and make reports… By having a beam antenna and
reporting the degrees from your location, plus a signal strength level. If
you are a mobile station driving down the road with a vertical antenna…
Just give your cross streets with a signal report. Then at a later time,
someone can go investigate from those locations that you were in.

A Report Example:

Station Reporting: (KBØDCO Thomas)
What was Heard: (FM Carrier)
Receiving Frequency: (144.200)
Signal Strength: S9 +10 Db
Cross Streets and City or County Location: (Hwy 212 & 41, Carver Co.)
In What Direction in Degrees: 260

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me and we can
discuss things in more detail.
