S-Meter : '0' to S1 and SIO 243 and low to fair audio
on 27 April 2011


Roy - Victor Goonetilleke in Sri Lanka informs me that AFRTS 12759U in
BIOT is obviously on the air at 0138z today, May 1, 2011, and likely
has been for a few days at least - so my reception of them during the
0100 - 0200 hours the last few days has been real :-) *Reception
Report time! *Yahhooo! :-) *Also notes that the remote Perseus
receiver in Oregon has them today at SIO 333, which is MUCH better
than here in San Francisco Bay Area - but what the heck! :-)

73 on the house!

BpnJ,

Listened just about every hour at the top of the hour
for -5 to +5 and have heard only 'Audio Artifacts' and
"Mumbles' since yesterday.

"Good Clear Audio"* : Recognizable Words and whole
Sentences {Content}; Language; Speaker's Sex:M/F;
Voice-v-Music

* Good Enough for Radio Program Listening

"Identifiable Audio" : Recognizable Words and Language

"Mumbles" : Language like sounds and Word Fragments

'Audio Artifacts' : Sounds like there might be Audio
on-frequency; and when you Tune +5k & -5k there
are 'no' like sounds; just the background band noise
at the time.
