What's underneath BBC 5975kHz @ 0257UTC?

Maybe Family Radio is taking in a bit of CIA money on the side. ;-) Back about 15 years ago, there was some strange close-in QRM to some of the stronger BBC signals in the 6 MHz band. In this case it was RTTY, and even stranger the signal went away when I bitched about it on the shortwave alt.*? group we used back then. I always wondered if putting your spy communications close to a widely received broadcast would be good cover. They couldn't take the spy out and shoot them for just listening to the Beeb. If it is the Beeb then it is probably the Morse signal "V" (...-) (V for Victory) played on a Timpani. Still used as far as I know for some language services but not heard all that often. No, this was a seperate FSK signal. One interesting effect was when they tuned it to straddle the carrier of the audio broadcast. Oh come on... I was referring to the original post which indicated hearing a chime or something similar. dxAce Michigan USA |
