9990 KHz
First, for the conspiracists, look, it's actually 6660 upside down. Very
ominous. Anyway, listening to 9.985 today, I experienced quite a bit of interference from 9.990. Has this station been on the air long? From a cursory search on Google, it seems like it was an Egyptian station, but I didn't spend much time researching it. The time was around 1800 UTC. Later this evening, I again crossed through 9990, and it sounded like Arabic, the singing the prayers stuff where one could picture a man standing in a tower with a loud speaker addressing scads of kneeling men. Anyway, this time was about 2230 UTC, and the prayers were being sung, with English translation of each segment following. Being that I am Christian, I didn't linger for very long (lack of interest), but when I again came back to the frequency at 2245 UTC, the station was nothing but a hideous heterodyne sounding whine. Of course, I believed that the station was being jammed (I don't know jack about jamming). Anyway, I listened until 2300 UTC, and the carrier and whining sound dropped entirely. Apparently, this was being broadcast by the station itself, but why? Foul up, (mistake), technical failure, some other abstruse reason? Any comments on this issue? Any experience with this station concerning interference. Today wasn't exactly a stellar propagation day, so I don't know if I see this problem again or not. Dr. Artaud Also, for the news hounds, http://reuters.myway.com/article/200...Z_01_L04539736 _RTRIDST_0_NEWS-IRAQ-DC.html The 57 year old Italian Female Journalist that was captured and tormented by the Iraqis, filmed writhing in agony asking for the Italian army to leave Iraq as a condition for her release, was finally released by her tormentors. U.S. forces in Iraq mistakenly opened fire on the convoy taking her to safety, wounding her and killing an Italian secret service agent. How come this is so predictable? |

Dr. Artaud 9990 is indeed Radio Cairo, broadcasting in several different languages to Europe at that time, according to Passport. I know you're Canadian, so depending where you are in Canada this could be a very good logging, especially considering the poor conditions. According to Passport, this particular broadcast goes off the air at 2245 or so, so you could have just heard them powering down their transmitter. Considering that Egypt is infamous for modulation problems, it doesn't surprise me that powering down their tx involves a massive heterodyning. Somebody else in the group mentioned that WWCR's 9985 freq was being interfered with. I'll have to tune in tomorrow and see if I can hear this station. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Oops, 0666 is 9990 upside down, not 6660, for some reason this thought occurred to me while I was watching Monk, hmmm. Thanks much for the response. I'll need to pay attention to this frequency as well over the next several days.
