Very strong copy heard in Denver.

EDIT 10/16/16: An individual named Curt Rowlett ran my video through a decoder called Rivet B88 and posted a video. I have asked that he transcribe it into his video's description. Please click through to the following video to see what was decoded.

Utility / VMC Charleville QL, 6507 USB, 10/11/16, 1150 UTC

Hearing marine weather in OM voice with English accent. Faint copy which makes it hard to understand location names given. Pip heard at 1155. Per Eibi, this frequency is either VFF Iqaluit Radio from Canada or VMC Charleville QL from Australia. The latter is supposed to be on at this time and the accent would be more suited to an Australian broadcast, so I'm going with that. No station ID heard through 1201.
Heard "New South Wales" clearly at 1205.
EDIT: The frequency was 6507, not 6907 as originally posted.

Heard via VR2HF's **Hong Kong DX** at globaltuners dot com. Numbers translated by user Moomin999. Very short message that took only three minutes to transmit (not including K-pop song that starts each V24 broadcast).

0148 S3 signal into Denver.
0155 signal now below noise floor, still copyable
0158 CW followed by OM voice, sounds like Radio Zed ID but too noisy to hear clearly.
0200 Minnie the Moocher. Lots of QRN tonight from various sources.
0203 Signal back up to S3.
0213 off

HF Mystery Signals / UNID station, Russian language, data transmission
« on: September 25, 2016, 1656 UTC »
South Korean SWLer Moomin posted this to his youtube channel a few days ago wondering what it was. The closest I could come up with, is that this frequency was listed in N&O newsletter # 200 as a frequency used by M32a, a Russian Navy station. The designation M32a would indicate a morse code station, but this obviously is not CW.
Anyway, your sleuthing is welcome and if you think you know what it is, please comment on the video itself as well as here. Moomin is interested in an English translation of what the Russian OM is saying, if anyone reading this can speak the language.

QTH: Gyeonggi-do, Siheung-si, South Korea. I believe he uses SDRPlay and his antenna is a 303WA-2 MF/HF.
EDIT: It does sound a lot like 29B6 'Kontayner' OTH Radar per sididwiki. I'm not expert enough to call it, however.
EDIT 2: per quick discussion with Token on the pirate chat, it's a Russian OFDM modem.

9/24, 1420z. Playing very dramatic late-romantic era style classical music. Best copy I've had in a month, and the music, though pedestrian in a way, is a nice change from the Morangbong Band stuff they usually favor.
