U2's in the air - likely on training.

I still regret teaching you faggots about skykangz, but your threads are improving. Put more autism into it, boys.


>>135673727
You haven't seen fun yet. For a little while that researcher banned chat because we cucked it up.

>>135673807
Was it in the clear or not? The various frequencies do have other people on them, it's not JUST airforce global command (or whatever they call themselves now). So, on 8992 you'll hear an aussie Over The Horizon (OTH) radar shit post every now and then, you'll occasionally hear some faggot fishermen, and you'll hear ham faggots from like italy or some shit.

>>135673911
Is there anything that we can identify? Or is this just listening to random military chatter to feel like we're in the know?

>>135673170

How does the jam occur, is it directed at the transceiver used by the website?

>>135674164
No. Yes.

>>135674164
yes

>>135674164
Just research frequencies, and see what they do day to day, when you spot it, you'll know what it is.

>>135674106
>Was it in the clear or not?
>(of a television or radio transmission) transmitted without encryption or scrambling.

It sounded like it was in the clear but really couldn't make anything out. Probably the aussie shitposting you are talking about.

>>135674164

It's all about patterns. Heavy traffic days are very often days with frequent military happenings.

Knowing your callsigns can also tell you what's up.

The E-4B Nightwatch appears to be landing at Offutt AFB. Happening over?

>>135674257
WRONG.

>>135674295
I honestly don't know, we'd have to check propagation maps based on the location of the receiver and think about who would even want to jam the band. Last time I checked radio reference.com there was no known jammer, it's not like the firedragon of china or whatever they call it. It freaks out the idiots on /pol/ though. For all we know, the AF can jam the airwaves to get the faggot french hams off the band. But, the AF literally has multiple frequencies and stations, to be able to use this for communication during a nuclear war. So, having one station jammed .... is kinda worthless.

>>135674430
It sounds like the marintime / ham faggots that are occasionally on the frequency.

>>135674448
Not alway, because they do run tons of exercises, but .... sometimes it's a great warning. Like that 45 minute mainsail a few years back during Ukraine.

>>135674871

>>135674778
You're listening to a radio, like your car only many stations are more powerful than WIRF and most of the transmissions are just commercial broadcasting or HAM operators. Very few of anything out there is actually military/spy.

>>135674888

Short range, low powered French maritime ship-to-ship radio near Twente's antenna.

>>135674978
You are correct, but we're also listening to 8992, which is the frequency the global air force command works at.

Which used to be our mainline comms incase of nuclear war. Now it's a secondary, but also used for one time pad type comms, and occasionally some faggot called TECH something does burst data transmissions.

>>135675055
Lol I remember that thread. REMEMBER KIDS, no one owns the airwaves.

>>135675255
We do these sorts of exercises all the time. What was fun was when all the looking glass airframes took off at once.

>>135674951

Because it is a looking glass patrol post.

Also, if you want to be a *REAL* radio fag, go to eham.net and take the Technician practice ham exam until you can pass it every time, which is pretty easy, then look up the exam schedule for your area and get your ticket!

>>135676309
Tune to 8992 USB and set your filter at 2.7 KHz.

>>135676309
There's not constant chatter. Maybe a call an hour that lasts 2 minutes or so.

Just park on the HFGCS freq of your choice, press squelch, and shitpost here until a signal becomes active, turns off the squelch and you hear a call.

>>135676309
Its a lot of LARPing. But it is also based in reality.
When there is a lot of chatter on these channels, there is usually a lot of military activity. A lot of military activity means its happening.

SKYKING is the callsign for the US nuclear arsenal.

That's cool, but HF is a wonderland and it can be cheap to get into.

>>135676691
It's all coded but an upswing in the amount of traffic on a given day can indicate SHTF scenario.

>>135676798

>>135676691

On a live EQ map, look for an earthquake in the circled area around 6AM to 11AM North Korea local time.

a 2.0 will indicate a fizzle (failed test) of 5 to 10 kT.

A 5.0+ will indicate a successful 25kT to 50 kT detonation (it is unlikely they have the tech/resources for a bigger bomb than that.)

>>135686589
Yes many models, I always recommend the Sony ICF-SW7600GR because it's made in Japan and has a great receiver with AM Sync, but most any short wave radio with SSB will do the trick.

If you can get an external antenna up, even just a bit of wire thrown out a window will help a lot.

>>135685309
>>135685055

>>135686016
Suspicious. I know two are out of order, normaly they would start two, if something serious is happening, but with only two operational one is also at least somewhat unsual of maybe even alarming to some extend, if there are the E-6 up.

>>135686589
Yes. Many shortwave radios can. Try to find an "All Band" receiver or make sure it covers 8992 kHz in its ranges.

lots of test counts happening, multiple bases.

>>135682960

Do you change the filter at all?

I always use about a 2.4-2.6 KHz filter, even though the transmission seems to be about 2.8 KHz wide.

>>135687568
I find 2.7 kHz works best on 11175

>>135687668
>>135687568
I've been using 2.7 like drunken-ham suggested which works well for 11175. For other channels I'm fiddling with it to try and match the size of the signal. I'm guessing I'm fucking it up though and it has something to do with all this

Learn about the wave propagation.

If it's a solid white line in the waterfall and bleeds left, it's LSB. If it bleeds right, it's USB.

If it's a central white line and bleeds to both sides for 10 kHz, it's AM. Wider is FM

If's a very narrow line, it's CW.

Happy to help. You can buy me a beer at the end of the world.

>>135687887
If you set the filter too wide you'll be picking up static that isn't in the bandwidth of the original transmission.

I like a slightly narrow filter for intelligibility like many experienced radio users, but newer radio fans often think it sounds muffled. Probably comes from the difference in opinion about what radio's about, super smooth accurate reproduction or communications legibility so to speak.

>>135689003
Yeah, it's about that time of day for those.

>>135689003
Sounded like the last one, I didn't get the record. Anyone know what the consistent but irregular bloops are at 11185?

>>135688383
a little ladder of dots or whistling noises indicates a narrow data mode, and a wide buzzy signal often indicates a wide data mode

>>135689047
I thought the dull sound was me not having a wide enough band. I can get used to it. How narrow is narrow for you?

>>135687247
Wow that is gorgeous. A bit out of my price range tho...the kx3 is not. Looks pretty neat. Thanks for the info

>>135681629
Just be sure it's well grounded anon, you're in for a jolt if it's not.

Also be sure to run it off your household AC ground if you're using AC power, otherwise you could get a ground loop condition.

>>135689284
2.4 is as narrow as I usually go, many hams buy aftermarket filters for their rigs as narrow as 1.6 KHz though. My current radio has a continuously variable digital filter so I can just dial it in like on the SDR.

>>135689382
KX3 is a great radio and you can expand it with modules as you go on, like internal battery / real time clock, 2m board, antenna tuner, and a roofing filter as well as the 100w amp KXPA100 and the PX3 panadapter / digital mode interface unit, which allows you to just plug in a USB keyboard and work several data modes and CW right on the little screen there.

it detects metal with MAD, in addition it can drop active/passive sonobuoys- the passives listen (for the rotation of the engine screw, crew related noises, etc) the actives emit a pulse (the sonar ping, from the movies) and listen for reverberations.

all three can detect diesels, with varying levels of effectiveness. in particular the actives should have good luck because the old kilo/romeo/november subs don't have anechoic hulls.

>>135689653
Most radios have the same kinds of circuits so once you can work one you can work them all.

People like big fancy radios with lots of knobs because they're easier to use than some digital menu system. I don't mind a smaller radio though, and my KX3 has just the right number of knobs and buttons to be ergonomic but of course it'd always be fun to have one for every function.

Also ham radios are really cool lookin' if they have a bunch of buttons and knobs.

Start by buying a shortwave radio, I recommend one upthread but anything with SSB will do as long as it covers HF without gaps.

>>135691759
I'm guessing they need to broadcast to avoid collisions or false alarms in the areas they are opperating from. A covert operation would probably not show.

Now note the complete lack of North Korean, Chinese, or Russian planes over their respective countries.

>>135691759
You'll almost never see a combat aircraft on here, or any aircraft on a mission other than training or when it is flying in normal ATC areas.

Those planes in Japan shut off their transponders (or moved out of range) when they reached their altitudes.

>>135690257
You can find towers for pretty cheap or free, just have to pick them up. I got a nice about 50' tower by just asking. I'd browse eBay or talk to your local radio club. Someone's got something sitting around they don't need I'd bet.

>>135691967

As long as whomever makes it remembers to change Nighthawk to Nightwatch and point out it landed (3 Mercury are still airborne, though).

>>135693574
ALREADY DID IT

is going somewhere or something isnt he in europe still and coming back?

i love you autists

I was looking at some plans for loop antennas a few weeks ago, looking for what I wanted to build next. I've found I really enjoy building them.

Thank you. Just want something I can plug into a wall and get started. That NASA thing looks awesome however 26273 pounds and taking up a room isn't an option without the dogs knocking it over or the ball-and-chain bitchin'.

I can't really decipher that question...

We have strict code here. I can't put up an antenna.

My roof peaks' are shaped like a T, so I took a 100 foot copper wire antenna and spiced it into a T-shape on the roof (insulated and not touching the roof).

I have good reception with that. On most jays, I can hear Japan and Russia pretty well.

They work well if you have local noise sources.

Sadly because of the decline of shortwave broadcasting, there are very few high end shortwave receivers suitable for a listener, but the Icom R-75 is still available new because it was just recently discontinued. It's the last affordable analog unit and people really like it, so that's another option.

>>135694195
Yeah that's what I wanted when I started. But you're gonna wanna get an external antenna up outside. A long wire would work, but a wire dipole would be better I think. Really easy to make too

>>135693574
SHIT
It rejected my firs thread and my copy paste didn't have the fix... sorry senpai

>>135694510
Yep just some wire. The art of antennas is just a great subject and a cheap hobby.

I made several 2d fractal antennas on a big ass piece of cardboard and want to make a 3d one out of some fairly rigid wire.

Where'd that E3 and F-18 go?

>>135690804

depending on type of pilot you are.. fixed wings are pussies because you can jerk off while flying, try doing that in R22 :D

>>135694390
That's rough. As long as it works it's good in my book. I thought I saw something about a law being passed that would let hams put antennas up in hoa areas. Not sure tho

Yeah this fall I plan on putting up my tower, and during the winter building 80/40/20 Yagi. Should be fun.

I haven't looked much at fractals. What band are you using them for?
