I am getting some faint music on 486 Kc at 0440z, BFO centered right on 486, this with a NE by SW, 990' dipole into an R-390A, unintelligible voice at 0443z, for probably less than a minute and right back into orchestral, (I think orchestral) music

Just received this from Brian... Just to confirm, WG2XFQ has been on since 22:12z Dec 31st on 486KHz. I plan to let it run thru for about 36 hrs. I may shut it down for a few minutes as needed while I work on other gear in the shack. ERP is 20W. 486KHz RF on scope ground leads and such can be a pain at times. But it would only be QRT for 2 or 3 minutes at most, if at all. Happy New Year!

Please see the forwarded email below for the details of his New Year's Eve transmission. Brian is active in 600 meter experimental work and collects early wireless gear. You can see the transmitter that Brian uses at this URL: http://w4dex.com/500khz/wd2xsh31.htm If you do log his station, I am sure he would appreciate a report. 73, Brett Saylor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian, WA1ZMS <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 11:14 PM Subject: RE: WG2XFQ on 486Khz....
