Perhaps all of these were Tacamo related? Man how I'd love to have that airborne antenna ;-) Best 73, Markus (DF6NM) ######################## And on Tuesday morning, an unstable carrier comes on 18.066kHz at around 10:40utc with a short burst of FSK at 10:49 and disappears shortly after; At 10:40, another rough carrier at 18:791kHz. starts up. At 10:53 another carrier comes onto 18:135, drifting slowly downward and can be seen to be tuning up. At 10:55 the rough carrier on 18:791 disappears. And so on.... Interesting times.
