Found this while scrolling 31m, SIO 222 with 333 peaks. Techno type dance music, heard some kind of ID at 0321 but couldn't make it out. Possible MRI or MRI relay.

from my home QTH:                                             From Sigma SDR:


Listening via Sigma SDR at CT/MA border. Terrific signal. Also coming in with about SIO 222 to my home QTH but hopefully will improve as the sky darkens here.

Taking bets now that "Changes" by David Bowie is on the setlist. Do I win if nobody bet anything? (Will "Change" by Tears For Fears make it? It's always interesting to see what Wolverine pulls from the 80s 90s and beyond.) (Also, mildly surprised Tom Waits' "Small Change" didn't make the cut.)

Thanks for the show!!

Shortwave Broadcast / CNR1 jammer (presumed), 21490 kHz, 10 AUG 2024, 1730 UTC

« on: August 10, 2024, 1734 UTC »

Found this while scanning the bands, Mandarin language station that sounds much like the style of programming I find when CNR1 is jamming Sound of Hope. Eibi confirms that this frequency is used by SOH and CNR1 jamming, but not at this time. SIO 444.

First real clean decode I've managed of this digital numbers station in forever. All three transmissions from this hour (15872 USB at 1800z and 13872 USB at 1840z) were quite strong into Denver, and I'd even have said that the first one was SIO 555. However it was the middle one which the latest build of Rivet translated without any obvious errors.

Other / Morse station at 9162 kHz, seems to be ID'ing at P5O

« on: May 19, 2024, 1154 UTC »

Copying since 1145 UTC today (19 MAY 2024) and it's still going on as I type. Supposedly this call would be North Korean, so it's already doubtful. It sounds automated. My morse skills are still rough so I can't really say what's being sent, except that "VVV VVV VVV P5O P5O P5O" is repeated frequently.
