[Spooks] Typical Freq Ranges

[Jeff Wilson]

Fellow Californians,

It is tough to receive European spynumbers stations here, yes. I have
a Ten Tec RX-320 and a Grundig S800 and a 43 foot dipole strung in the
attic of my condo.

I can reliably get the English one (not Cherry Pipe, but the other)
and of course M8A and V2.

Anyway, I recommend searching between the bands. Of course time of
year, weather, and the atmosphere are things you need to consider.

But even more than that, I'd recommend looking for things California
listeners CAN find, that our east coast buddies have more difficulty
with. From here just north of Los Angeles I've gotten:

- HAARP from Alaska
- Japanese "Slot Machine" thought to be a highly compressed, encrypted
data stream just north of 49m
- Maritime distress calls etc...the marine bands are good to listen to
- I read of a guy in San Francisco who (apparently had a lot of time
on his hands) followed a Qantas flight over SW from Sydney all the way
to SFO, and then switched to VHF and watched the Qantas flight land at
SFO. Pretty neat
- DPRK comes in great in California. It's always a kick to listen to
the fables and parables about Dear Leader
- EAM from the US military, I've received a few of those

Hurricane John is coming north, so I'll be monitoring the marine bands
in earnest in the next few days.

Anyway, my logs have loads of interesting things, most of which have
been between the major broadcast bands.

73s,

A couple of stations seem to use set freqs and schedules (per the internet sites) but are the majority just out there "somewhere" and you find them by tooling around at the top of the hour? I imagine things shift w/the seasons as propagation changes.
