Big unmodulated carrier on 3.880. Been hanging there 20 over 9 for at least 8 hours now.

What's GT? I first heard the carrier about 0400 GMT. Still on when I called in quits about 0900 GMT. Seemed to have occasional short periods of low audio frequency tone modulation, slightly musical, maybe 150~, like someone testing using a signal generator. Strong carrier, but substantial QSB. Hope someone didn't have a catastrophic mishap (electrocuted?) or medical issue (heart attack?) while tuning up or working on the transmitter. Is Tim awake?? Or did his batts die? I thought of that, but no audible snoring in the background.  |

What's GT? That is for Global Tuners. They have receivers on line all over the world. Some are quite good while others are useless. http://www.globaltuners.com/home.php |

I went out to check whether the dog fell asleep on the stomp-to-talk.
Nope.

I heard it too. Was easy to DF. It's the usual guy who doesn't own a dummy load and often uses the airwaves for testing. Don't axe me who, cuz I ain't saying... Bottom line: Use the airwaves for testing only when we must - like when checking for RF in the audio, testing antennas, etc. and give our callsign - otherwise use a dummyload. Merry Xmas to ALL!!!

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed. Easily done in DSP.

Heard him pretty well down here, enough to hear noise in the background like someone was farting around with their transmitter. Definitely appeared to be coming from the northeast. And we can't blame Irb anymore.
I always toss my call out while testing or setting up the transmitter. It's a great opportunity to snag a contact or three and maybe stir up some activity. If you're actually doing long-term testing, having a set of ears standing by can be handy.

Hmm... doesn't sound like an effecient way of saving money! If it were FUN maybe.. but dead-air carriers are not fun!  P.S. GT is Global Tuners http://globaltuners.com |
