Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1500khz someone with very noisy sidebands

["Fred Schroyer" <ibfreditor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Amigos, I took my CCrane Skywave out on the deck tonight around 2115 EST,
and heard the strange noise on 1500 that some are reporting. It was pretty
faint behind WFED, but distinctly there, kind of high-pitched & rough like a
steady bandsaw heard faintly from a great distance. What I have to
contribute to the conversation is this: the signal very clearly DF'd almost
perfectly east-west, and I sit right on the 40 deg N latitude line. So from
my QTH, due west is Denver and due east is Philly. For what it's worth . . .
does my DF data square with any of yours? You-all have much more
sophisticated equipment/experience than I do.

Problem is that there are no known Cuban transmitters on 1500 and haven't
been any for a good while.

A surprise can always surprise us.....

If you're hearing "warbling," then it's highly likely to be a Cuban
transmitter... this sort of thing has been noted off and on for years on
various frequencies.

Brett,

 

That is nearly exactly what I?m hearing here near Birmingham. The warble
part is much stronger here, literally dominating the channel at times. At
first, I too thought it might be local interference or QRM but after a few
times listening to it, I can tell you that is not the case.

 

It?s only audible via skywave, and seems to follow the gray line in terms of
signal strength. While it?s audible well into the night (I checked against
just after midnight last evening and it was still there) it?s much stronger
around SSS.

 

I?d guess somewhere in the Caribbean or Eastern US time zone (at most).
