3120 kHz AM - Russian Language Comms 1853 UTC 04 Nov 2026
« on: November 04, 2026, 1856 UTC »
G8JNJ SDR receiver (South West UK).

3 MHz "trioka" (triple, group of three) band, aka 100 meter band, 95 meter band, hell band, and many other names. 

Frequency is variable, due to the equipment used.  Basically this best described as the old school 2-3 MHz marine band (using AM voice for radiotelephone communications instead of USB or USB with carrier reinserted).  Vodka radio, 3 MHz band.  Russians.

Frequencies noted (carrier frequencies)

3120.1 kHz AM
3119.1 kHz AM - start of transmission (very severe drift/FMing) - ended up closer to 3118.7 kHz after 10-15 seconds...)
3120.4 kHz AM - pretty stable compared to the previous station
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
