unusual data signal at 15937.5 kHz actually there right now, 2045 UTC
I did a FCC search, but found nothing. The NTIA allocation just says
fixed. I'll check the redbook. Ron Baker, Pluralitas! wrote: It is transmitting right now. I regularly pick up an unusual data signal at 15937.5 kHz (USB). It is 7 fsk signals stacked in frequency. They are 170 Hz shift and there is 170 Hz between them. The Baud rate is 75. All seven channels send the same bit stream but offset in time by as much as 6.66 seconds. The bits show a flat autocorrelation. Anybody know what this is/ who is sending it? -- rb |

For the feds, the band can be fixed or any mobile except aero. For the
rest, it's fixed. wrote: I did a FCC search, but found nothing. The NTIA allocation just says fixed. I'll check the redbook. Ron Baker, Pluralitas! wrote: It is transmitting right now.

I tend to think it is commercial but it could be military (or diplomatic). The FDM aspect is definitely a diversity thing, to overcome atmospheric fading. All channels carry the same data. If fading temporarily wipes out one channel the data still gets through. There are numerous single channel 850 shift 75 Baud fsk signals out there. I'm guessing they are military. HF has notorious fading so I imagine they use a diversity scheme too but with the parallel channels spaced out over MHz, not just in one voice width band. Being the military they have all sorts of resources so they can use such widely spaced frequencies. This FDM FSK thing requires less coordination in setting it up yet still offers some diversity and immunity from fading. But the more modern way of doing that is with OFDM, so this signal is kind of unusual. It is modern primative. -- rb wrote: I did a FCC search, but found nothing. The NTIA allocation just says fixed.

It is transmitting now at 1545 UTC while there is nothing at 15937.5. -- rb wrote: I did a FCC search, but found nothing. The NTIA allocation just says fixed. I'll check the redbook.

I found some experimental licenses near 15937.5, but not close enough
to be what you are hearing. However, it might pay look at them as maybe your interpretation as to where they are located is not on the money. It can be a bit confusing, but the FCC often specifies where the peak energy is located, not where you would tune your radio. For example, in sideband, there is no energy at the carrier, but the radio is designed such that you tune to where the carrier would be if you had one. If you never searched the FCC, go he http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/reports/index.cfm Use the "frequency" search, and keep it narrow, maybe 1Mhz around where you think the signal is located. Search both the universal licensing and the experimental. Ron Baker, Pluralitas! wrote: wrote in message oups.com... For the feds, the band can be fixed or any mobile except aero.
