SDR and wefax
#6
Any tips on getting the wefax signal using gqrx? I'm using the rtl-sdr v3 with a 30 foot length of cat5 cable strung up in a tree. The wire is plugged into the center pin of SMA jack. The Boston wefax is the closest to me at about 900 miles. Gqrx is set USB mode with everything else default. I see a signal spike at 12748.1khz but only hear static. I've also tried the new Orleans station which is about equidistant. I have looked into various shortwave antenna styles but effectively they are what I have done. Maybe I'm just to far away? I have tried night time as well knowing you should get better reception then. The sdr is definitely working as can pick up local FM stations no problem.

I can also pick up a series steady tones from low to high at the frequencies just below at 12746 and lower

Thanks
