Hi Bruce, Regarding those signals from Japan on 693 & 774, I may have slapped myself in the face a few times to make sure this was really happening. Very surreal to go from never hearing these stations and then hearing them for the first time at this kind of level. I still can't get over it!
Regarding that brief piece of music at TOH on 1205.96 , it's probably not worth pursuing and likely not unique to the station at that particular time. As you said, the odd offset is confirmation enough for me too, and another listener was able to pick out some other details in the recording that point to Yanbian. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan On Mon, Oct 29, 2018 at 12:24 AM Bruce Portzer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tim > > Those are some amazing recordings of 693 and 774 Japan . > > Yanbian has been operating on 1205.96 as far back as I can remember. > The measured carrier frequency is so unique, it's as good as an ID in my > book.
