Question about the Pacific HF feed
« on: February 27, 2009, 03:23:13 AM »
When would be the best time to monitor the pacific feed as i live in the uk and knowing when the busiest times are would be a great help.

Well right now (1640z) it looks like there's a decent amount of planes. I've been listening for about 10 mins and haven't heard anything on the feed though. Sorry about the bad iphone pic. Top middle is Alaska, bottom middle is Hawaii and just off the right edge of the screen is the US west coast. You can even see the northern part of Japan (Hokkaido) on the upper left.

Ok thanks just having a listen now at 17.25 UK time. Of course always assuming the reception is good enough as HF is notorious for being good one minute and rubbish the next.

What is the setup for the Pacific HF feed?  I live close to the Gulf of Mexico and I'd be interested in providing a feed for Houston Radio.

Its a picture of an ETMS screen. Which I think it stands for enhanced traffic management system.. TMU's (traffic management units) at large atc facilities in the US use it to monitor and control the amount of traffic into and out of their airspace.

Anyone know what's happened to this Pacific HF feed?  Last few days no audio like squelch turned right up.  Obviously you don't listen to HF with squelch up otherwise you'd never hear anything as most signals aren't strong enough to break through so anyone know what's going on?  Is it broken?

It's located in Napa Valley, California and is a good HF receiver with some sort of multiband dipole antenna.  Located in a very quiet location, free of power line noise.

Go to the site contact form and send a request in - would love to chat about Houston Radio possibilities.
