I saw something a few Hz above 136500 between 0000z and 0100z last
night. In a 0.1 Hz bandwidth something was definitely visible with some
on-off structure to it, but was keying too fast to make out any CW. It
was too weak to copy in a higher bandwidth to match 2 or 3 second dots.
Ironically, it looked as if it may have been strong enough to have been
receivable with MS100, or more likely MS200, BPSK.

Subject: LF: VE1ZZ on NOW!!
Hi all, posted by Jack to the DX Cluster this evening at
2400z. "136.5
00 0030 01 103<VE!ZZ>"
I take this to mean he is one 2400-0030z and 0100 to 0130z ..NOW!!
While 2300z might be a convenient time for us, a look back
through the plots
shows that on good nights the peak signal strength of CFH was
rarely reached
before 2400z. I imagine that CFH will not now reappear until
after the New
Year.
I also saw a signal slightly above 136.5 (+2 to +5Hz) pop
out of the noise
on 18th though I dont remember what time now. I was set up
for 3 sec dots so
would not have copied a 4 sec dash properly. The signal looked like
continuous carrier with some flutter and was at least 6dB
above the noise in
0.3Hz, but I was using 750msecs time scale on spectrogram. I
put it down as
a distant Loran sideband.
Good luck fellows
Cheers de Alan G3NYK
