Any OO's on reflector?
Locked
 
|
I was up in the novice band again tonight, calling CQ (with no answers). I heard some weird signals. The weirdest is on exactly 3700.00 LSB; exactly every 40 seconds, a recording of Yosemite Sam saying, "Varmint, I'm-a gonna blow you to smithereens!!" Can anyone else hear that? But aside from this unidentified signal, there are many other mystery signals. For example, I planted myself on 3720 and halfway through my CQ I heard a weak carrier. I paused, thinking it was somebody trying to break me, but nothing. This happened on several other frequencies between 3700 and 3723 or so. It was as if I was triggering an automated station with my signal. At one point, I was lighting up these weak carriers and 'long dash' stations as I tuned down from 3720, leaving a trail of them in my wake. Does anyone know what these are? No wonder nobody goes into the Novice band anymore! What an unpleasant experience.

We've been listening to Sam for a few nights now Al and there has been quite
a discussion about it on the glowbugs list. Check out this link for an audio recording I made of Yosemite Sam with my K2: http://www.k6ese.com/data/yosemitesam/Yosemite_Sam_3700KHz_12-21-04_0413UTC_LSB.wav Many of us are thinking along the lines that it's some kind of Military or CIA station for training or other... If anyone has a clue there's a bunch of us interested... Check out 3700 KHz and he'll be there every 40 seconds...There's some kind of Digital burst transmission right before it... 73 Trev - K6ESE ----- Original Message ----- From: <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 11:43 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Any OO's on reflector?

I hear it on 3700 LSB, but also on 3700 USB. Tuning away from 3700, I don't hear a carrier, so it doesn't appear to be AM. Who uses DSB these days? -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Someone might also want to alert the IARU Region 2 Monitoring System
(http://www.storm.ca/~iarumsr2/). I'm sure they'd be interested in this, if they don't already know about it. 73!

I alerted the ARRL intruder watch yesterday. Here's their reply: Ron, Tom forwarded your report to me. Thanks very much for it. I have gotten reports overnight from TN and CA on this also. I will see if our monitoring people can help locate a source for this. That is a bit different. I would appreciate any further reports on this if it continues. 73, Chuck Skolaut, KØBOG Field & Regulatory Correspondent ARRL Headquarters Phone: 860 594 0239 ---------------------------------------- If you are hearing it - during the day especially since that would pin down the general location - I'm sure Chuck would appreciate hearing about it. In general, if you are hearing what is clearly an intruder on the Ham bands, it's a good idea to send off a report to Chuck. With Ham-band rigs now "hammer simple" to plug in and fire up on the air, intruders are sure to become a growing nuisance unless we jump right on them.

Sorry, I forgot the e-mail address for the ARRL Field and Regulatory
Correspondent where you can send intruder reports like the "Yosemite Sam" DSB signal on 3700 kHz.
