Title: Carrier on 3885.xx
Post by: W1RKW on January 11, 2022, 04:33:49 PM
Anyone have any insight on the carrier on 3885.xx (about 3885.70)?  Seems to be drifting upward ever so slightly. 

Tried to KiwiSDR it but not many are picking it up and any that do the signal is weaker than on my own radio.  Seems local to New England or MA area as far as I can tell.

At 6:50 PM EST, Jan. 11, 2022, I can hear it fine on the WA1STH and K3FEF WebSDR's.

Maybe somebody's cat is sleeping on a straight key. Another reason not to constantly power up a transmitter when you're not in the shack.   ;D

as of 730AM the carrier seems to be gone.  The cat must have been hungry.
