Message from Julius Hermans: A very interesting
catch on 1389 by Steve Whitt in England
Steve Whitt mentioned first on the
MWC-list:
"> >Heard on 1389kHz at 2315 29/2 and first
noted night before a pulsing sort
> of jammer. Loud (S8) signal occupies bandwidth 1387.5-1389.8kHz. Seems to be coming N/S of my Suffolk location. > Possibly weak talk underneath. Language might have been Spanish. > Is anyone else hearing this jammer or interference? Lionel Roithmeir from Guernsey answered on the
MWC-list:
> I have also heard this over the last couple nights & agree about
the
> bandwidth & possibly sounding Spanish. > > Direction from my QTH would also indicate North/South. Well I (Julius)tuned in last night(march 1st) after these interesting
observations by Steve and Lionel and I heard the same on 1389 at 2245 UTC
when kaliningrad signed off on 1386. Language is Spanish, definite!! I heard
male tlk, fem tlk and chants. Also I noted a strange sort of jamming-buzz on the
same off-band frequency of 1389. There were timepeeps at 2300, but I heard
no ID due to the sort of jamming- QRM on the same channel of 1389 and a
deep fade. Very interesting catch by Steve. I also note it on the north-south
antenna!! So signal from the south???
Steve Whitt also mentions:"I have not heard RASD on 1540Khz for several
days now. Could this be
connected? Can anyone in the HCDX-list help please????
