The 'original' frequencies are in use now. They are 10500, 6500, 4300 and

3700.

Yes, 3700, 4300, & 6500 were active when I checked last night at 0817, today
only 6500 & 10500 are being heard. This would indicate that with
propagation being what it is, it is coming from only one location. At
night, 10500 fades out and I only hear it on the lower freqs. During the
day, 3700 and 4300 fade out and I only hear it on the two higher freqs.

I doubt any other freqs are in use since the signal takes about 10 seconds
from start of transmission on one freq, to start of transmission on another
freq. Since it has a 40 second interval on each freq, it's apparent that
it's cycling through each freq. I don't know what it did when it was on the
WWV freqs, but I only heard it on 5 and 10 MHZ.

I'm listening to Sam on 3700 KC.
Unlike the last few times I heard him under WWV,
there is no detectable site switching on this transmission.
I haven't checked the other freqs yet.
With the multiple freqs involved and the timing,
I'm still convinced it's Uncle doing an exercise,
probably DFing. No way some ham has gone to all
this trouble, especially since he would certainly
have been caught by now.

Uncle Sam has multiple hi-power transmitter sites
which can all be controlled from a central site
and used in any combination
(I was a SHARES op and worked them on many occasions).
Each could be controlled independantly for power,
mode, directivity etc.
Given the large spread of frequencies used,
the power levels and, most telling,
the obvious switching between multiple transmitter
locations when I last heard them on 10 MC,
I still believe YS was an excercise in DFing,
probably run for the benefit of multiple agencies.
You've all heard pirates. Compare their flea-fart
transmissions to what you've heard from Sam.
Just one guy's opinion, but an informed one.


Apparently your informed opinion was not correct.

LMAO at the 'tard!

So.... where's the link to all this new information?


No links to the information will be provided by myself to the 'tard boys.

Suffice it to say that I've read it online via several sources, and I took it
upon myself to contact two of the amateurs who were involved in assisting the
FCC in tracking down Yosemite Sam.

I'm fairly certain that at some point the FCC will release some information
regarding their enforcement action. It is in their hands now.

You can believe that or not, but Yosemite Sam was indeed busted on February 16
around 1800 MST, 0100 February 17.

You have yourself a nice day, 'tard.

Check out http://www.dxing.com/dxr.htm

I would suggest you contact WA5WHN and ask him about it.


I took my own advice and asked WA5WHN about it via email, and he's being
tight-lipped about it, insinuating that the FCC will be doing something
about it soon or at least issuing a statement sometime in the future. So
ignore what I said, I don't think that Mr. Miller wants any more email about
the subject. I guess we'll have to wait & see what comes.
