Hello all,
Unless someone is mucking about, John's "T T T CQ CQ CQ" signal would
be transmitted by a marine coast station. TTT was/is sent on 500 kHz to
announce a navigation or gale warning which would then be broadcast on
a working frequency. China plus one or two others may still be using
500 kHz, so from a DX angle it would be interesting to know where the
signal originated.
I'm hoping to sort out some sort of Rx antenna for 500 kHz shortly.
Location is near Penrith, Cumbria.

Lubos,
Yes it's interesting.
Last season I remember hearing a short "T T T CQ CQ CQ" on 500, never
repeated. Then there was the XJ/ÖX thing early this year, now a "VVV
TEST"
There are some odd things out there!
Cheers,
John

Signal on 500.500kHz is not so good now, QRN and QSB increase, but I
can still see it.
Interesting, isn´t it ?!
