WB5FKC on 40m
30m was crapping out after about 2:00AM UTC, and I had heard that Christian, WB5FKC was going to be sending QRSS Morse on 40m, just above 7.0008Mhz, so I tuned down and tried recording some. And, miracle of miracles, I got him:
If you read across (and know morse) you can see that it says (with a bit of interpolation) WB5FKC WB5F.. and then cuts out. He reports using a transmit power of only 50mw, and is almost exactly 1000 miles from my location. The recording covers the time from 10:08 to 10:44 or so PDT.
Addendum: I tweaked around with my FFT settings a bit, did a bit of noise reduction and the like, and managed to get this. If you click on it, you can see that there is a bit of chirp as each dot and dash ramp up in frequency over the four and twelve seconds that each takes, respectively.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
