Hello Jim, Trond, LF,
I was playing in the shack tonight and thought I'd leave the RX on
500.5 to monitor SK6RUD and the mystery "VVV TEST" - both there, some
QSB. I even recorded them together, in a 2,4kHz bandwidth, and put a
snip on my website.
Later I heard something odd, as Jim said previously - a QSO seemed to
start. I recorded what I could here - but only one side of it was
audible here.
One station seemed to call itself XJ and was sending "---. -..-" as the
call of its opposite number.
This seems to be foreigh CW symbol, possible Ö from what I can find on
the web
I heard (roughly):
ÖX ÖX DE XJ XJ UR QSA4 QSA4 SB HW? ÖX DE XJ K
Later I heard another exchange from the "XJ" station and "73"
I will try to pick this later exchange out of the recording too.
The recording of the first exchange - again in a 2,4kHz bw, CW REV to
move SK6RUD out of the passband is on my 500kHz sound recordings page:
http://www.gm4slv.org.uk/sounds.htm
I'll try to put up the other bits I could here too.
Odder and odder....
Just shows the value of sitting idly listening.
