Regarding Observation 11447081 …

I have several questions about this observation:

  • I would like to upload to their online form but I can’t understand what is the “Beacon”… I don’t think that I got it in the obervation.
  • I saw in the forum this Observation where a user decoded the CW. But How can I decode it? I tried CW Decoder But I got lot of stuff that does not make sense.

you should try observing KOSEN-1 (49402). It’s Morse and their website well documented so it’ll be easier to check that you’ve decoded properly.

Hi Calligula,

You are just in time for this stuff.

First of all, I really recommend to decode CW manually by ears or eyes.
The user who decoded your mentioned observation probably used ocenaudio.

Please check this how to to decode and upload CW beacons.

Let me know if you’re okay with that.

And, the observation mentioned at the beginning of your comment has too weak signals.
Just start with this observation to have a sense of achievement.

Thanks for the tutorial! That is extremely useful!
I see now how it works.
Ultimately I think that is my radio setup that is not good enough. Even spotting the codes on the spectrum is almost impossible from my data.
I need to improve the SNR…

The ultimate challenge that we all face and in the meantime commerce is trowing all kind of bad filtered devices on the market that we need to try and mitigate.
