for the last hour on this channel a woman computer reads off calls from all over the world. followed by a "windows 3.11 honk/bonk" noise no station ID just over and over every now and then a frequency is read. What is this? i assume its echolink/irlp but what is this? why is it just blasting out calls? |

Beacon reports? Shouldn't be going unattended, without addressing it to some user, it's 'broadcasting'... |

146.400 is the input to the 147.000 repeater. This repeater belongs to the Western Washington DX Club. I suspect you might be hearing their automated DX bulletin announcer transmitting on the input. It's kind of odd that it wouldn't have an identifier periodically; or at least it wasn't noted when you listened. |

I hear it all the time. It identifies and gives credit to the program running. The first time I heard it I thought it was a replay of an old number station. Ill try to catch the info next time I hear it. |

I'm hearing something similar right now on 146.7000. I hear the Windows bonk, and her spewing off some letters and numbers. |

That definitely sounds like "broadcasting". Where do they think they have a loophole in part 97 for that? |

It gives info on band openings. If your a licensed user of that repeater and it bothers you just give a call out to the repeater operator on that freq. They can handle any complaints. |

147.000 is the WWDX (Western Washington DX) Club Repeater. This is the DX Spotting function that you are hearing. As mentioned in a previous reply, 146.400 is the input to this repeater. Last I heard the repeater is located in Bellevue. The name of the hill escapes me (I just spent 6 hours driving, with no HAM radio, I am a poor, brain dead excuse for a HAM). If you are an avid DXer, monitor this repeater at all times. When openings are reported into the network (I think DX cluster) then this info is spit out. This is not spamming. It is one of the primary purposes of the club's repeater. Technically speaking, the station that is actually transmitting the signal on 146.400 should have an identifier, and apparently it does not, however if you listen to the repeater's output, it does indeed ID as required. Also, this is not "broadcasting" for the purposes of Part 97. This is automatic operation as permitted by Part 97, similar to a "QST" bulletin that is certainly permitted by Part 97. It is directly related to amateur radio, as QST's should be. If DX is not your bag, I wouldn't spend alot of time listening to this repeater. If you are hearing the 146.400 signal, you are relatively close to the location where the DX Cluster interface is transmitting from. Some of the calls I have heard are from countries I wish I have worked. I suppose I should get off my a$$ and put up a real HF antenna. My 706MKIIG, 746 and 735 are going to waste. Now that is HAM abuse if I ever seen it. Shame on me. 73, Nick N7QOR |
