sorry kids!

due to recent life emergencies, i no longer have time or motivation to continue posting here.
check back in a year or so after my station in life has improved.

MARS net on 6968.5U had to move because of pesskies on 6970L 7-23-17 2300U

thats what it sounded like, maybe not... at 2301U both are comming as per usual.
side by side, which is anomalous in itself and worthy of logging.

it seems ive dropped off the map, i havent

im occupied working out presenting a homebrew methodology for independent SIGINT research. the -capture- and initial analysis portion of the field, not the digital decoding. thats not my specialty. i wont even pretend to be godlike there.
my experiences cataloging the worlds peskies has taught a lot on how to rig up an efficient workstation from reception to the cataloging itself.

oh the cataloging...

hundreds upon hundreds of 3x5 cards, man. cross-referenced by color chart.
like a resistor code. i will walk a user through my own setup and how to dramatically improve ones ability to process mass amounts of information like a professional SIGINT spook. that was absolutely dumb sounding. with therapy you will come to forgive me, but you will walk away more efficient with the time you spend with your gear, for sure.

so little time

sorry kids, not enough time in the night to document my favorites lately. its hard enough to manage these 3x5 cards. its hard being one of the worlds only resources for tracking these guys besides hfu. was hoping to have a beta soundboard up by now.

polish speaking pesskie?

logged it a few nights ago during a grayline sweep.
around 6880 LSB 10pm local.

activity update

ok, been real distracted lately. band conditions are weird, 6 meters has been opening, so i havent been keeping up, lots of new voices heard lately, hard to keep up. apologies.

GERRY!!call me or email me, dude.

i need a few words on a few things still open, please help me out real quick.

killer night for non-pesskie stuff

sry tonight i just cannot be bothered. conditions are very hot, and theres a few clandestines im looking for.

gqrx stuff

with gqrx as my main demodulator, my load average hovers around 7.50
and im missing packets from the netsdr as a result.
with spectravue under Wine emulation i never had load averages that high, at least the system is usable.
dont know if the volk test helped.
ive spent a vast majority of my time lately on getting to know gqrx, and i have figured out how to import a frequency list into its bookmarks, complete with color highlighting.
more logs this weekend.

small hiatus for a few days, kali upgrade broke wine so spectravue wont work, using gqrx

trying to code up a remote control utility so i can finally have a scanner run on an SDR.

'expect' is stalling, 'nc' wont deal with carriage returns well.

6905 new guy "gabby" 5 may 0058utc

really leans the mic and goes on and on.
he is now Gabby. s6, minor fading. the other guy? who knows, i was stoked to nail a new contestant. gabby has a tell in his transmission. at the end before he unkeys the mic theres a mid-pitched warble in the audio before terminating.
other guy id'd as Humberto!!

local overpwered pesskie seen on 7150 in a fun turn of events -- 5 -5-17 1700utc

felipe hits the ham bands typical s9+20, no callsign, what could i expect. he mentioned he was mobile, btw. that much power in a car or truck. yeesh.

6945 portuguese (brazilian) outbanders 042217 0050UTC

2 guys, yet unid'd.
adding them to the catalog.
guy 1, very brazilian, s8-ish, good punchy audio, call him Punchy Gracie.
guy 2, s3, flat audio. portuguese, not so much brazilian as Punchy is, lets call him Flat Pat.
they both key over each other, apparently not knowing radio etiquette. must be new, not much "roger" or "cambio" to signal the other with to say "go ahead, im done".

felipe s8 big signal on 6950L, 0029

looking to chat, calling "hoooola, hoooola" at 0029

felipe confirmed in washington dc

my terrible spanish...

alberto and his new radio on 6950.030L 3-31-17 246 UTC

6900 L 27 march 0044 UTC

felipe working alberto, new id. hes slightly off frequency like felipe used to be, maye felipe gave him his old radio. "washington, capital" mentioned.

8903 u 3-26-17 739utc

unid spanish on 8903, kinda high up from normal nets. maybe new?
wish i could post a waterfall pic.

lots of pesskies tonight, i tried to enclose a screenshot but its not very intuitive on how to accomplish in the blogger dashboard.

6883 lsb 22 march 2100 utc

couple of voices in portuguese, common in south american countries, probably legit fishermen, even though i cant understand any of it.
one guy rolls his r's real well, so we now call him Roller.

just heard "salvador" maybe a name or reference to el salvador.
propagation works well recently from the south american eastern coast, so its likely brazilian.
