I was using the horizontal dipole from the RTL-SDR v3 kit, fully-extended. I saw some good gray-line propagation into Asia.

I decoded an iceberg map with fldigi from WeFAX. qsstv tried to decode it as well as PD240, but poorly.

Gander HF Air Traffic HF is used for transatlantic routes.

Matthew passed his test for Technician. Callsigns:

• GMRS: WRXX561
• HAM: KC3WRY

He can use 10m and up with technician license.

I heard around 31m band (9700khz):

• Romania
• Cairo
• France
• Turkye

Also:

• 11620khz Romania
• 11850khz Kuwait
• 13590 Algeria
• 13790 Algeria

I tuned to the ISS Repeater on 437.8Mhz as it went overhead (according to gpredict). I couldn’t hear anything really, but I saw a signal sweeping in and out (doppler shift) as it would have been crossing over head.

I heard WWV, the Fort Collins time signal at 5MHz in Neffsville. It was beeps, chirps, and an announcement.

I used the fully-extended, large dipole kit and the RTL-SDR to successfully receive lots of 40m signals. It may have been especially busy, since it was Labor Day in the US and Canada. I found FT8 (40m and elsewhere) signals from St Lucia, Slovinia, South America, Cuba, and a little FT4 (40m).

I also found some BPSK31, RTTY/45, and still unidentified digital signals.

I had fldigi listening to SDR++ tuned to 7096kHz LSB for 20 minutes and decoded a couple different documents via differetn modes.

I also spun the dial to catch a couple other transmissions.
