Ru beacon 6218 USB+pips 1621 UTC 22 MAR 2024

1621 Music very distorted and lots of noise and fading - Is most likely RU UT testing with music in a loop

Listening to Short and Medium Wave broadcasts since 1962 as a DXer. Nowadays I listen to 48 and 49 meters mainly for interesting stations. If you like to send me an EQSL my email is bkavana@yahoo.com

Sounds like they're playing from a record player because in between song on repeat there's two clicks...

2230 S9+40 played in a loop, it's the song Ot Wołgi do Jenisieja  by Lube, already known from previous tests.
- this is interesting, but the place for this entry is in Beacons, as Ray wrote
- on 5838 and 6402 synchro pips, 6911 the sound of "chopping wood"-this is the same Russian "organization"
