Peterson, Conor / AI5EZ

At my home in Santa Fe, NM these signals came across as a slowly modulating carrier right at the noise floor with seemingly little of the content audible. For some recordings I set my mode to CW to better focus on the carrier which has its own ethereal quality.

Please add me to your mailing list if you have one, I am highly interested in transmission art and want to participate in your future experiments. Best wishes from the USA.

The carrier came riding in on my noise floor at approximately S5, but little if any of the content is audible.

Note

For this movement, I chose to demodulate the signal as CW instead of AM. The carrier gently fades in and out in a pattern imitating speech, though it is unclear to me whether that is genuine spoken word or the gentle modulation of the ionosphere.

Note

A basic recording of the NBTV signal demodulated as AM. Many harmonics are audible, presenting as a sustained metallic drone intertwined with the background of natural sferics.

Note

I chose to demodulate Snowy Owl as CW. For me, the fluttering carrier evokes both muffled speech and a hallucination of morse code. In this recording, the signal begins at approximately 1:15 seconds.
