A and K indices are too darn high. |

Bruce BpnJ, Run Two Receivers one on the Target 12,759/4319 kHz and the other on the Parallel Verifier 7811 kHz to see if the Words and Sounds appear to 'parallel' each other. Usually that's good enough to say : That's It ! :o) http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/ShortWave.aspx -note-the-error-78110- should be '7811' For AFN-DG 12,759/4319 kHz you might use AFN-Guam on 5765 kHz as the Parallel Verifier. http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/ShortWave.aspx As for me each Hourly Check for AFN-DG has resulted in 'zilch' ~ RHF |

I catch your drift, Sergeant ;-) When I can, I will give that a try. I do often (and easily) hear that beacon on 4319, AM and LSB, so luckily it does not interfere with USB. It's not DG, is it? At this point, however, I have no doubt whatsoever that I heard DG on 12759. At this noisebucket location, though, I may never hear them better, assuming I ever hear them again. |

Impossible to catch specific concepts, but it surely sounds like an OM ranting on in EE. Bruce J., California As I mentioned earlier, I obtained a QSL card for reception of this AFN Diego Garcia transmission on April 30, 2011. *Needless to say, and am very pleased and thrilled with this card, as this mere 3 kW (?) omnidirectional station is the most nearly antipodal low-power station I have managed to dig out of the suburban QRM at my home. *I know lots of other folks have gotten this QSL, but for me, receipt of this QSL is a significant part of fulfilling one of my many lifetime hobby dreams. I received worthy and important guidance from several people, without which I would not have heard and recorded the detail of this station at the time I did, and which I acknowledge here - To RHF (Roy) for bringing up the subject of AFN on 12579 at approximately the right time, and following up with additional relevant communiques - his tip-off is greatly appreciated. *Thanks, Roy! To dxAce (Steve) for publicly noting the time when it was transmitting and providing valuable insight into nailing down enough detail to net this station. *Thanks Steve! ...and to Victor Goonetilleke of Sri Lanka, who kindly confirmed that AFN Diego Garcia was indeed transmitting at the moment I heard them despite the time parameters listed in their A11 schedule. *This helped me to be confident that I was not hearing an image or mixing product rather than the station. *Thanks Victor! Bruce Jensen Great job Bruce. Diego Garcia is one of my favorite amateur QSL's. Mainly because I made the contact with under 100 watts (SSB). Jim (MI) Awesome! *Was that voice or CW / RTTY? SSB Voice. A VQ9 prefix as I recall. At first I thought it was a Canadian station. Lucky I called him and asked for his location. Jim (MI) Hah! Almost too good to be true, eh? That was the good old days of solar cycle 23. Also worked Palmer Station in Anarctica with 100 watts back then. Bombay and Madras in India too with 100 (SSB). Jim (MI) |
