Hi w9wdx readers,
I'm just starting out with ham radio, so I apologize in advance if this is obvious to others.
Travelling through Salt Lake City, UT, I heard this broadcast on 147.120 MHz K7JL from Farnsworth Peak (according to repeaterbook):
In an obviously computer-generated male voice:
Some time after 21:30 UTC, "1id1"
Some time after 22:00 UTC, "1id2"
At 22:41 UTC "1id3"
At 23:28 UTC "1id2"
At 23:37 UTC "1id3"
I apologize I don't have more accurate times on the transmissions but I was distracted.
That particular repeater is part of the Intermountain Intertie so I guess I could be hearing something from as far away as Las Vegas?
It's not the repeater callsign... I hear that transmitted in CW. It's not a valid maidenhead grid locator square.
I'm pretty mystified. Anyone have an idea what this broadcast means?
