[LF] 474.2 KHz - Final report

[k6dgw]

This apparently isn't the best forum for this subject I'm told so I'll
post last night's results and end this.

Using my low band sloping V for an antenna, I found the following NDB's:

209 AEC   Tonopah Test Range NV
212 HOQ   Hondo Platform [oil rig off-shore from Goleta CA]
334 FCH   not on the list
335 CC    Concord CA, ~50 miles
338 PBT   Red Bluff CA, ~100 mi
374 LV    Livermore CA, maybe 60 miles from me

Noise level was pretty high, there may have been some others but I
couldn't make out the ID's.

There are two very big continuous data signals on 314 and 317.94, and a
weaker data signal on 288.  There are a swveral very weak spurs which
tune on the P3 at about twice the normal rate so I guess they're internal.

My spots showed up on WSPRNet.org [I'm CM98lw]:

WH2XGP DN07  933 km
WG2XSV CN85  761 km
WG2XXM EM15 2156 km
WG2XIQ EM12 2274 km
VW7BDQ CN89 1132 km [new one, didn't log him using the flagpole as ant]

Thanks to all who educated me and got me pointed in the right direction.

73,

FCH is Fresno's Chandler Field. I used to live a few blocks from it. I
would say that's pretty good DX for you.
