It is interesting to me because it reminds me of some satellites that I have received in past. They are in the 148 MHz federal range and had very strong carriers punctuated by musical tone that were used for telemetry . You might check the NTIA Federal Red Book for UTC assignments in 166 MHz to see if listed. There should be some Doppler shift if you have a receiver that indicates such.
Thank you, I,m 4 miles from BNL you never know?? what they are doing? but that is some gud info RFI-EMI-GUY
I also went thru the NTIA FOIA document from a few years ago, nothing close to her QTH/Region
I will be listening also from northeast NJ - still have a scanner sitting on 166.835.
You won't find satellites, especially those in low or medium orbit listed with any sort of fiixed location coordinate system. they could be NASA, NOAA, DOD, private like ORBACOM, or a foreign gov..
The FOIA document has many listed allocations/assignments
I was responding specifically to what you said here:
Marcy; if you have a Uniden receiver with IFX, try pressing that button when the signal is present, otherwise listen 2 x the first IF frequency below 166.835 MHz .
Guess we are going to have to be explicitely clear with all the postings and re-read, re-edit so there is no misunderstanding or vagueness allowed and remove any/all acronyms to prevent confussion with the tourists from other regions.
IMHO, typically she has been using the Icom R8600 as listed in her Signature line.
Correct. She mentioned using the 8600 in a PM discussion on Fed band logs.
Was this actual music? constant single tone or multiple tones that vary in frequency? repeating sequence of short tones that vary in frequency?
I brought that up because I reviewed NTIA and found no satellite allocations for 166 MHz range. There are those down around 136 and 148-150 and of course amateur radio 144 MHz. It could be a very old satellite or one in a foreign country. My very old records do not show it. So an IF image might be possible.
