Yosemite Sam Frequencies
Yosemite Sam has now been traced to four frequencies:
3700 4300 6500 10500 There may be more. dxAce Michigan USA |

I tried those just now at 1830 UTC or so, and 3700 is just as loud as ever, 4300 just a little less loud, 6500 about half the strength of 3700, and 10500 very weak. I shouldn't be hearing ANYTHING in the lower frequencies at this time of day (about 10:30 am local time), I can't even hear WWV on 5 Mhz, but I can hear Yosemite Sam loud and clear. It makes me wonder if Sam is actually coming in via GROUNDWAVE at my location (Sacramento, California) which means it MIGHT be coming from one of the 2 or 3 "secret" military transmitters within 20 miles of me. I don't have any DF equipment at my disposal, so I can't confirm this. I can't shake the idea that this is some sort of military or spy signal, perhaps as one poster said a "go signal" for some sort of operation. -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

It is definitely coming from out west somewhere, and if you can hear it on 3700 at 1800 that is a very positive sign. dxAce Michigan USA |

I checked just now at 2245, and Sam is gone, replaced by some sort of steady noise that sounds like QRM from something like flourescent lights or electronic equipment. But it's the same on all four freqs at the same signal levels as Sam was. I really think it's coming from a military transmitter in VERY rural Solano County, about 15 miles as the crow flies from my location. The transmitter in Yolo County is Coast Guard point to point, while the one in Solano County is attributed variously to the AF or the Navy. dxAce Michigan USA -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

Running dog, I once took a road trip from Yosemite to Death Valley driving south through Mono and Inyo counties: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/do9map.htm On my left (east) about a mile or so was a huge satellite dish farm. Do you have any clue as to its purpose? |

I rarely go to LA, and I've never been through most of the desert, including Highway 395. -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

clear. It makes me wonder if Sam is actually coming in via GROUNDWAVE at
my location (Sacramento, California) which means it MIGHT be coming from one of the 2 or 3 "secret" military transmitters within 20 miles of me. Well, I would take a wild guess and say he is in or near "Yosemite" National Park? Perhaps it is a remote, solar powered transmitter setup inside a cooler on one of the high peaks. [shrug] |

[shrug] I'm only 120 miles or so from Yosemite by road, and much shorter as the crow flies. The local TV stations in Sacramento regularly give temperature forecasts for the Yosemite area. -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |
