I'm hearing some RTTY on 4293 and 8451. I think these may be NOAA reports coming from Kodiak Alaska. There is supposed to be a NOAA station with carriers on 4298 and 8459. When I use my receiver in USB to try to decode these using MMTTY, as you would expect, I have to tune off the carrier to 4293 and 8451 to get the mark where I need it to be. These signals have a shift of 850 as is with the NOAA RTTY reports. The strange thing is, these dont seem to be in the clear. I cant decode them as I can decode other NOAA reports. Does anyone have any idea if these are the Kodiak NOAA reports or something else ??? 850 shift? They're probably something else. Back when I was activly monitoring RTTY (10-15 years ago), there were a large number (about 50 percent) wide shift stations. But I NEVER got copy on any of them. They were always there, with strong signals (here in Seattle). My guess was they were encrypted point to point links, maybe in the eastern Soviet Union/Russia. Or maybe some back up signals for US Military in Alaska. Hitting the web, it looks like the Coast Guard only transmits weather on narrowband SITOR now. http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/cgcomms/ http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/hfsitor.htm Mark Zenier Googleproofaddress(account:mzenier provider:eskimo domain:com) |
