2024 VHF Low Band Logs

[217]

Today's Southern California captures. Any help with the unknowns is appreciated.

A possibility for 35.060.


31.640 could be concrete. The trucks usually back under the dry cement silo. Sometimes extra water will put in first if there is a time consuming drive to the destination.

France and CHP today along with HB9HD out of Switzerland.

This is so cool!!!!

If you have any recordings of clear audio on the Turkish stuff private message me - same with those English language signals which I cant help with - but assume they are military.

40.680 is the ft8 frequency on 8 metres.

Late night, so here's yesterday's captures from Southern California. BCD996P2, Diamond CP-610, ProScan.

31.640	118.8	Unknown	Unknown	Someone making mouth noises.
35.140	156.7	WRFM852	Lee Cardice, Monticello, Florida	"WRFM852 to 111". This is the hobbyist guy. Gave full callsign!
31.480	Carrier	Unknown	Unknown	"When we're back in the truck we'll let you know."
31.300	151.4	Unknown	Unknown	Broken base station again, full PL this time. State of GA/KY?
35.060	110.9	Unknown	Unknown	More foul language, rambling conversation, trucking-type.
31.960	107.2	Unknown	Unknown	"Turn around in the driveway". Trucking?
33.760	151.4	KEX264	Imperial VFD, Clinton, PA	Frequency/PL/Traffic
33.820	Carrier	KDQ223	East Brunswick, NJ Fire Dispatch	Frequency/No PL/Traffic. Been a while for this one.
33.740	Carrier	KYL829	King William Co, VA Fire/EMS	Frequency/No PL/Traffic
33.980	Carrier	KGD259	Warren Co, PA Fire Dispatch	Frequency/No PL/Traffic
33.680	Carrier	KBH343	Morgan Co, OH Fire Dispatch	Freq/No PL/Traffic, dispatcher gave callsign. Paging test.
33.860	77.0	KGC676	Washington Co, MD Fire Dispatch	Freq/PL/Traffic
33.900	136.5	KGB393	Radnor Twp, PA Fire Dispatch	Freq/PL/Traffic. Fighting with Noble County.
33.900	Carrier	KNFQ946	Noble County, OH Fire Dispatch	Freq/No PL/Traffic. Fighting with Rador Twp.
33.880	82.5	KQH904	Licking Co, OH Fire Dispatch	Freq/PL/Traffic

Man it was a fight between Radnor Twp, PA and Noble County today. Lots of heterodynes. Rather amusing. While I'm sure they can't hear each other, I sure could out here!

I'm swapping scan steps from AUTO to 20kHz as thats the US spacing, most of the environmental noise occurs on odd frequencies, hopefully this will help get rid of some of that.

AS ALWAYS, HELP WITH THE UNKNOWNS IS APPRECIATED FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT!

Could not believe what I heard today...a time division Vericrypt 1100 or Cryptophon 1100 scrambler transmission. These devices are around 45 years old.
Read up on them here: Vericrypt 1100 Cryptophon 1100
And here is the sound file, found on 33.6MHz, southern England SDR. SndUp | Post Info
Incredible.

Out of a time when Christopher Cross was riding like the wind, in 1979:

I suddenly want a pair of those. Here's Warren County, PA paging Scandia Fire, you can hear them answer with the fire siren on the roof of the station going (that is NOT an apparatus, that's the house siren heard all over that township I'm sure).

I suddenly want a pair of those.

Built like tanks for sure. Wow.
It is fascinating what they write in the provided links about these devices.

Considering its age, the Cryptophon 1100 is extremely well built. Only first class components and PCBs are used. The units consists of three main PCBs, all mounted on an extendible frame.

 

[d119]

Just thought I'd post some photos of my setup for logging. This is used exclusively for VHF-Lowband. Probably massively overkill, but I had this stuff laying around doing absolutely nothing. Just disconnected the antenna from my Syntor X9000 and plugged it in to the scanner.

Hope someone finds this interesting. The other equipment is for the LAN, timing, and a UHF repeater.
