Hi All,
In the last week I have noticed a wide band signal appear between 1803 to about
1835. It has QSB and fades in a and out. Thinking this was local I checked
with fellow top band ops in the stae and they hear this signal also.
I hear the signal coming from the NE (receive 4 sqaure) from my QTH in em85wf.
On a narrow band CW receiver it sounds like a rushing sound fading in and out.
When I listen on AM I hear a loud buzz. On LSB/USB I hear a less pronounced
buzz. On my spectrum scope on my IC7800 I see the signal starting at about
1803 KHz extending up to about 1835. It appears as a hard comb. I live in an
area with no receive noise.
Dale N4NN reports the signal from the North /NE. Bill W4ZV hears it North.
Can I ask that you listen. If you do not have a spectrum scope as you tune
between 1801 and 1805 you can hear the rushing/buzz start and stop as you tune
through it. Once I get several reports from other stations outside of NC I
will use the reports to get commertial DFing help.
Please post or send me your reports directly to davek4sv@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance,
