Spy Numbers / Re: HM01 May 2024
« Last post by MDK2 on May 07, 2024, 1305 UTC »
07 MAY 2024 (Tue)

There were no transmissions sent during the following hours on the following frequencies:

0500z, 10860 AM
0600z, 10345 AM
0700z, 13435 AM
0800z, 11635 AM

These are the only four consistent daily broadcasts of HM01 that I'm aware of. Priyom.org continues to post the schedule that had been in effect for many years, but I no longer find them at any other hour or frequency, including other frequencies HM01 has used for these particular hours.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Me??? Several radios...
« Last post by BoomboxDX on May 07, 2024, 1203 UTC »
My radios are listed in my byline, although I've added to them. Sangean PR-D5, PR-D4W, Tecsun PL-398, Grundig G2, XHDATA D-328....

I'm becoming a fan of DSP chipped radios anymore, although I won't stop using my analog Superadios, RF-B45, or Radio Shack 200629 any time soon.

My antennas are an indoor wire (works reasonably well) and a milk crate loop for MW.

I also have a DX-440, but don't DX with it much. I do fire it up weekly to ensure it's still working, though.

General Radio Discussion / Re: A great great read on solar flare activity and comparisons to previous cycles!
« Last post by BoomboxDX on May 07, 2024, 1159 UTC »
Stands to reason. The new Solar uptick is welcomed, but it's not like 2012 at all. I'm not hearing it on my radios, and I hear hams on 20 M talking about the high bands being nowhere as good as they should be at this stage in the Cycle.

And then there is the gradually dropping eUV irradiance, which is what makes the ionosphere work. So the new cycle is great that it's here, and I'm glad that it's better than it was in 2019 when HF sounded like nuclear winter every other night, but it remains to be seen just how things will play out when this cycle actually peaks.

HF Beacons / UNID 6218 KHZ USB 18.08 6 MAY 2024
« Last post by Benoit LEVEQUE on May 07, 2024, 0843 UTC »
Good Morning. Here in Northern France, I picked up this russian beacon in U.S.B. transmissing on 6218.2 KHz with a signal of 4/12 LED and with a SINPO of 35433. This beacon is transmissing a russian patriotic song in loop but for the first time, its signal was very strong. Then during this indoor reception, the signal increased to 5/12 LED. Good DX. B.L.
