Native American ?? Peskies Recording
« on: September 20, 2025, 1918 UTC »
Here's a recording of a very strange "pesky" or outbander shortwave radio transmission recorded on the 43 meter band back in 2019. It's in an unknown language, which has been described as possibly being Native American. If anyone knows what language this is, please leave a comment in the video - thanks!

Hey Chris,

From a moderate degree of personal experience, I would say with 90% certainty it is a Native American transmission.

Pretty much the same as when hams
are testing: Aaaaaaaaaaaudio , over and over.
