[600MRG] WSPRin this AM

[John Langridge]

That wandering signal has been reported by many listeners, in fact K5DNL reported it a few months ago because it was covering me up.  I moved and it continues to meander below me a bit.  I have heard it a few times but in the last several days there has been a surge of reports from other geographic areas, notably W7IUV mentioned a PSK-like signal below the WSPR band.   I was able to see it in the water fall very easily last night, probably better than ever before.  I do not remember it being there last season.

I have no idea what it is.  From the sound of it, there is no intelligence associated with the signal but its always there and its heard over a very large geographic area.

If this "thing" shows up close enough to me to cause problems, please let me know and I will move again.  I don't believe it is following me but does seem to drift around with impunity <cue X-files music>

anyone have any thoughts?



73,

At 05:54Z I have WG2XKA barely visible (copying at -25 and -28) steady
frequency readout is 475.712.
I have WG2XIQ like a lantern at -10 steady frequency readout is 475663 on
the one that decoded.
HOWEVER between three and 5ive cps below XIQ in frequency is a slowly
wandering signal about the same strength of XKA.
If you are the signal, welcome to the effect of the furnace coming on and
then shutting down. 
If the VFO is separate, put a box over it.
It appears that XKA gave up, and XIQ does not like to be decoded here
through my hash even though the signal is strong and I synced it the same
way as it worked last year.

811's) = stubborn & cheep
