3.7 mhz

[N_Jay]

We don't seem to be doing a good job shutting it down? :wink:

Yep, but then again, perhaps no one (other than "us scanner puppies") even knows or cares. :shock:

That was my question.

I would think the ham community would be up in arms.

Your one too, unless I have picked up a mistaken hint somewhere. But, contrary to popular myth, the majority of hams are not the "frequency police," although sometimes it seems that way.

Very true, the majority of hams are NOT "Frequency Police",
However; The MAJORITY of "Frequency Police" are hams!! :wink:

The one at 3.7 mhz is in the US cw part of the band.
The one at 10.5 mhz is also in the cw/data part of the band.
The one at 6.5 MHz isn't in the Amateur bands.
The one at 4.3 Mhz also not in the Amateur bands for the US

 

[ReceiverBeaver]

It is also on 4.3 mhz so that makes it 4 freqs.

3.7, 4.3, 6.5 & 10.5mhz

Clearly receivable on either sideband.

I suspect or hope that some hams will complain loudly to the 3.7 intrusion on 75 meters to the FCC and that somehting will come of it.

Curious bdcst to say the least.

Hearing fair to good, daytime on 10.5 in the SE. Also heard ok on 6.5 this morning around 8am est. Will check the lower freqs. tonight

 

[ReceiverBeaver]

Being widely discussed on Google Group Usenet : rec.radio.shortwave

That used to be an ok newgroup but like everywhere on the usenet, it has been trolled to death.

Err, not in the US ham band it isn't. :roll:

OOPS
I don't use 30 meters so I was guessing. I see it's 10.1 to 10.15 mhz, and only data/cw.
Well that makes only 1 of the US ham bands being used.
It may be Goverment or commercial or maybe not even in the US. It would be interesting to know what the tone at the start was?

 

[AngelFire91]

It never really sounded like a tone at the begining to me, when I was listening, it sounded more like a data burst, real quick RTTY or something along those lines.

 

[n8gni]

tone or tones?

It never really sounded like a tone at the begining to me, when I was listening, it sounded more like a data burst, real quick RTTY or something along those lines.

That's what I meant,:roll:
Rtty, Packet, Fec, Swed-Arq, Baudot, and all the rest!
To my old ears and slow brain, most sound the same, tones/data.
I have an old Universal sitting around, if I can remember how to hook it up and how the settings are, if I remember, it even decodes the pager tones, Pocsag and Golay.I know it's not packet or cw, but if somebody has an idea what the tones/data burst is post it here and maybe it's an easy one to decode?

 

[loumaag]

I notice that it is gone now. Actually I couldn't find it yesterday either but figured I might be having a noise problem. Guess it is over.

 

[Waldo325mvfd]

18:06 UTC in MD nothing hear on any frequ.s
I wish my FT-817 interface cabel would come. 8)

3.7, 4.3, 6.5 & 10.5mhz

Thank you legal beagles!!!

Even though only 1 of the 4 frequencies fell inside a ham band, the tin foil badge patrol just had to call everyone from the CIA, FBI, FCC, & Dept of Homeland Scrutiny about this weak signal "intruder". The guys on the utility list clearly would have found it in another day or 2 if given the time to but amateurs just can't wait to blabber in order to take credit.

Hams complain loudly, even if there is nothing to actually complain about. All the FCC did was call DoD & tell them civilians found the signals.

As for your satellite comment, you don't impress me with your story. That is all it is, fiction! The FCC can't even shut down habitual jammers...

You of course have evidence that the FCC took complaints from ham radio operators. Please provide a link to the complaint filed at the FCC site.

Let's see, SPARX from Muck Cross. More like Muck Raker. :roll:

Okay, against my better judgement (and because I had some time on my hands 'cause my new job doesn't start 'til next week), I looked.

http://www.fcc.gov/eb/rfo/ActAct.html Nada.

http://www.fcc.gov/eb/rfo/actions.html Zilch.

Daily Digests (relevant dates) Zero. Too busy busting phone slammers and fining radio stations that allow their DJ's to say 'poopy' on the air.

Enforcement Bureau Big ol' cypher there, too, though I was amused to see among the obscenity complaints that some moronic "watchdog" organization waited three (3) years to complain about supposed obscenity in a Buffy, The Vampire Slayer episode. Then I visited the org's web site, and soon after was granted an understanding of those stupid T-shirts that are out now that say, "Sometimes I pee when I laugh".

http://www.fcc.gov/eb/News_Releases/DOC-250666A1.html

Various rumors abound regarding the fate and source of the transmission, the most notable of which is vague statement claiming that the FCC had narrowed down the source to Albuquerque, NM, and had passed that information to the ARRL Section for that area. Apparently you have to be a member to gain access to the ARRL Intruder Watch and be privy to those details, so the trail ends there, I guess.

Also, it is rumored that the sound bite may have actually been Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer.

ARRL Intruder Watch

I've never seen an ARRL Intruder Watch?
I looked on their members-only page and I don't see it there either?

 

[Spleen]

http://www.spynumbers.com/YosemiteSam.html is where I got the ARRL Intruder Watch note...

 

[serebin]

Sparx...what a troll

The only thing I have seen Sparx post on these boards is when he insults ham radio operators or the amateur radio service. What a troll. Check his other posts and then feel safe knowing that when you ignore him, you will not be missing any useful info.

Yep, I never heard of an ARRL Intruder Watch either. There is (or at least used to be) a IARU Monitor set of groups sometimes called the "Intruder Watch" (for both Region 1 & 2). The ARRL does of course have a the Official Observers which I guess can bring the FCC in if necessary, but the OO mission deals with Hams working with other Hams to keep Hams within the law. It has nothing to do with "Intruders". I think there may be a group at ARRL headquarters which sort of deals with intruding signals, but they are not the frequency police either.

.....alleged that the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” episode at issue included a scene in which the characters Buffy and Spike engage in sexual intercourse.


Damn, I gotta get a copy of that episode. Sarah Michelle Gellar is smokin hot!!!!
