Psy  User ID: 70376239 United States10/07/2015 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just caught the tail-end of a message, I was taking out trash during the start. Even with the squelch on, it was still very distorted. Sounded like it was from ABUNDANCE, though. Can anyone who was listening confirm?

Quoting: Psy Even with the squelch on, it was still very distorted. Sounded like it was from ABUNDANCE, though. Can anyone who was listening confirm? I recorded it, but it was so broken up on both 8992 and 11175 that all that I got was All Stations All Stations and then some code. Just heard a morse code blip, and some talking. I hope no one is relying on these messages getting through.

Maybe the problem lies not in the transmitter, but the receiver. Are there other websites that use different equipment that are having this same issue?

In some thread somebody talked about 8992.0 broadcasting MAJORITY And that was code for a situation where there was the possibility of lost communications. Don't know if it's true, could be uncle intel info but maybe there is a relay station bombed or something.

Here is another site that offers a similar service. [link to www.liveatc.net] Unfortunately it exhibits the same static as the other site. It probably has something to do with the ionosphere and the current space weather. aHEMagain "And once again, Probability proves itself willing to sneak into a back alley and service Drama as would a copper piece harlot." -- Vaarsuvius, The Order of the Stick [link to tvtropes.org] "History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme" -- Mark Twain "It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.-- William Clifford [link to myweb.lmu.edu] |

It's very handy Gahh sorry. I should have read further posts. Geez, I'm the one that is sorry. I'm too quick to give people friendly advice. I'm just really big on the squelch. That static sound makes me want to hurt small animals and shit. When did common sense become so uncommon? |

Don't know if it's true, could be uncle intel info but maybe there is a relay station bombed or something. Well, I wonder about that now. I'm hearing absolutely nothing on 8992, and usually there's at least a test count or something.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 70475250 United States10/07/2015 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pretty strange you guys mention this, and I happen to find this thread now considering 2 fighter jets just skimmed the top of my small city in Wisconsin. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61877188 Was hard to make out what they were (make, country of origin) since they appeared even at the low altitude they were flying (like I said, damn near skimmed the top of my city) that they must have been doing about 1000-1500mph. This NEVER happens here, I repeat NEVER happens. Back when I lived near Louis-McChord in Washington I wouldn't have thought twice about it but not where I live now. I think southern Illinois is the closest air force base and they NEVER send anything up our way like that. Strange here outside of Sacramento, CA Very loud high altitude flying....very unusual Like heading somewhere in a hurry, but unsure of what it is or where it's going because I could only hear it visiting fallon. nv... family in hospital jets everywhere...so loud is waking patient. don:t know if usual... my pay-as-you-go cell phone from att not working...stopped about 10 miles out side if town. company says no tower available...my account is okay. will dial 911 though so not the handset... why tower unavailabe these days? worked fine last time i here june 2014 maybe using towers for "abundabce"? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 48283670 United States10/07/2015 10:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I posted yesterday and took some major flack about "MAJORITY". I posted a link, it is a NSA burn through for EAMs during times of comm issues...could be the solar storm, could be jamming, could be something else. But, "MAJORITY" is not something that is used very often. |
| The Årtist User ID: 57668083  Luxembourg10/07/2015 10:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Since I don't own a ham radio, are there any suggested apps I could use to help listen? All the ones I've tried so far are crap. Quoting: Erik Dismembered Also, was it Artist that said it had to be multiple skykings for many many hours before taking it seriously. It is weird that is was reported that there was a message with those skykings though. Or non skyking EAMs. Doesn't really matter. If you think of each broadcast as a message to 1 airforce unit then it's got to be a lot for all our birds to be in the air. RAGE |
