A transmission of Morse code in the CW (Continuous Wave) mode!
Let's break down what we can learn from this message:
* `03:20`: The time when this transmission occurred, in 24-hour format.
* `JJ1DQR/1`: The amateur radio operator's call sign. This is a unique identifier assigned to each amateur radio station.
+ `JJ` represents Japan as the country of operation.
+ `1` indicates that this is a local (not international) transmission, and `/1` means it's a mobile or portable station.
* `on JP-1259(Akirudai Prefectural Park, JP-TK)`: This specifies the location where the transmission took place. It appears to be within Japan, with:
+ `JP-1259`: A grid square identifier in the WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984) coordinate system.
+ `(Akirudai Prefectural Park, JP-TK)`: The specific location of the transmission within that grid square. `JP-TK` is likely another geographic identifier for the area.
* `10118.0 CW RBN 8 dB 23 WPM via JO1YYP-#[JO1YYP-#]`:
+ `10118.0`: The frequency on which this transmission occurred, in Hz.
+ `CW`: This indicates that the transmission used Morse code (Continuous Wave).
+ `RBN`: A shortened form of "Reverse Beacon Network", which is a project where amateur radio operators share their received signals to help others locate and track stations.
+ `8 dB`: The signal strength, measured in decibels (dB). Higher values indicate stronger signals.
+ `23 WPM`: The speed at which the Morse code was transmitted, measured in words per minute. This is quite fast for a typical amateur radio transmission!
+ `via JO1YYP-#[JO1YYP-#]`: This indicates that this transmission was relayed or "bounced off" another station, identified by its call sign `JO1YYP`. The hash symbols `#[...]#` may indicate the details of the relay process.
Now, you might wonder what to do with this information. If you're interested in amateur radio and Morse code, you could try listening for transmissions from stations like JJ1DQR/1 or JO1YYP-#. Keep in mind that amateur radio is a global community, and these signals can be received all over the world (if your equipment is capable of tuning into the right frequency).
