HI All

I've noticed on the last few RS44 passes that there seems to be an constant carrier signal, maybe FM showing up.

My guess that this is a rogue signal from someone with a couple of hand held using them illegally someplace in the US. Likely they have no clue of the impact.Â

On a waterfall, it is pretty easy to see the carrier and the sidebands associated with it. Â

Thoughts?

I've noticed FM stations on FO-29 uplink a few times too. Don't think they know they're in a satellite uplink part of 2m. Sometimes you can catch a callsign and contact them about it.
