WEIRD CW ON 28.174 USB

[Captain Kilowatt]

Eh, that's what I meant. When I listened before I just skipped ahead to the middle and heard solid tone and then skipped forward and heard warble tones. I'll listen to the whole thing later.

Near the end. Last 10 or 12 seconds.

At the 38 or 39 second point.

You can hear a lot of beacons on ten meters; they serve to indicate when the band is open in a particular direction. I don't remember ever hearing VE3TEN myself, but it's obviously there!

Scanning through the CW part of 10 meters and come across this odd sound, i tried to reply back in CW but it just does the same tone over and over.

What is it?

That portion of the band is RTTY and Data only.

The U.S. 10 meter “Beacon Band” (common terminology) is actually a range of frequencies running from 28.200 to 28.300 MHz, although you can hear some non- U.S. Amateur Radio beacons down perhaps to 28.165 MHz or lower. The purpose of all these beacons is to help operators world wide determine if the band is open and if so, to where.

Up there in Canada Eh?

You guys keep forgetting that there is a world outside of theUSA that does not follow USA rules and regulations. We can run any mode on any frequency as long as we meet bandwidth limits. Basically wh have a 6 khz bandwidth limit on HF except 30m which is 1 khz. I can run ssb on 28.003 if I want.

so is the RAC listing just a recommendation CK?

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

Yes,it is a proposed band plan via gentlemans agreement but not legaly binding. Most people abide by it 99.9% of the time however most people also slip a bit lower in the voice portion to avoid stateside QRM at times or to snag a rare one.

explains why when i was listening to a recent contest there was one guy just a hair below the RAC's listed set-points...i thought "hmmmmm, sneaky", but now i see it's a legit practice

Thanks

Thought you were in the wonderful world of the U.S.A., sorry you're up there with Dave's other brother.

Next time this issue arises I'll just blame it on the Canadians or mexicans if a noise toy is used.
