UTILITY STATION LOG

I am considering any station that is not "International Broadcast"
to be a UTILITY station. The following loggings were made the week
of 9/8/85 .

FREQ.   MODE  TIME  ID/INFO

4425.6  usb   0330  coast station WOM Ft.Lauderdale, telephone
8828    usb   0330  Honolulu Radio, weather for various locations
8867    usb   0330  aero communications
5598    usb   0430  heavy aero traffic, New York, San Juan
2670    usb   0500  coast guard weather broadcasts, Channel Island
6761    usb   ANY   very active military air channel (SAC ?)
6802    usb   0400  Remington numbers channel, 5-digit spanish YL
3895    lsb   0300  ham band outlaw network, using handles and
                       probable very high power. Most nights...


notes: "usb" and "lsb" refer to upper and lower sideband; if your
receiver does not have these mode settings, use the BFO control.
Times are in UTC (EST + 5 hours, EDT + 4 hours)
I will not attempt any discussion of the origin or purpose of the
"numbers" stations here; if you have comments or explanations of
your own, leave them in the tech/shortwave message section...
