CSO - joko mysteeri ratkeaa
11.10.07 - 09:55:43
 
CLE FIN1:n aikaan kuulimme kolleegan kanssa tunnistamattoman aseman CSO 520kHz.  Se kuului kohtuullisesti miniwhipeillä, mutta melko huonosti lännen suuntaan olevalla 500m langalla.
 
Oli kuultavissa kahtena iltana peräkkäin, sen jälkeen ei mitään. Kukaan muu ei ollut sitä aikaisemmin raportoinut, kunnes nyt on alkanut tapahtua:

Still on air (1923z). At 520.403 with a fair signal and 1 in 7".
I have never seen it before. LSB surely covered by NAVTEX.

Hearing CSO-520 here, on 519.600 / 520.400 with 2s gaps. Signal rather prone
to deep fading at present 2000 utc. Can't get a decent bearing at this time.
Will keep a watch on channel.

UNID CSO-520 is audible here as well at 21:10 UTC
It suffers from fading quite a bit, so I think is not very close.
My guess is around 800 - 1000 km
 
It certainly is coming from the north.
My "static fighter" is on and eliminates the static from the south.
Maybe I can make a bearing when the static is a bit less.
It is very bad tonight.

CSO-520 – the loop seems to indicate the nulls are around NW/SE roughly so best direction seems NE/SW
 
But fading doesn’t help the check too much. Certainly don’t think it will be a daytimer here – will check tomorrow.
 
Fairly good signal at 2127utc.

Very good signal indeed this morning, bearing between 300° and 330° on
520.400 kHz (offshore North of Scottland ?).
 
Anyway a new one for me !
Happy listening

I got the best signal with my ALA1530 in 330 deg position. The signal
was fair when I checked it at 1923. It decreased rapidly. Offshore?

I too heard CSO last night, stronger on -400, but it didn't last for a long time. Did some googling on CSO and found these links that may be worth looking at, maybe one of them have a beacon with the id CSO.

This is a little follow up on my last on CSO.
 
I found the company behind it but no ndb's...
 
www.technip.com/english/index.html  then go to publications were a list of their ships can be found with brochures (pdf)
 
Ship                        Callsign           Helipad       Type                                            
Alliance        C6LC9       Yes    diving support
Apache          V7HK6       No     pipelaying
Constructor     C6CP8       Yes    pipelaying/subsea construction
Deep Blue       C6RM8       Yes    pipelaying/construction
Deep Pioneer    V7HK7       Yes    deepwater support
Geoholm         MLRT9       Yes    ROV survey/light contruction
Orelia          V7GY7       Yes    diving support
Sunrise 2000    3FTB4       Yes    flexible pipelaying
Venturer        C6MW3       Yes    diving support/FPSO installation
Wellservicer    MGGL8       Yes    multirole
 
Hopefully we can solve this, no information in brochures about ndb's.
 
 
Best regards
