Other / UNID 5862 USB 1247 UTC June 9, 2016

« on: June 09, 2016, 1253 UTC »

I'm hearing 2 OM's QSOing in English since 1247 UTC. One of them is S8 here and talking about his equipment and antenna setup...the other is just above threshold...there seems to be a slight parasitic on LSB. Unusual to hear anyone talking on this frequency...harmonic? Mentioned that he liked this frequency as it was pretty steady, then said he was going to check "Romeo Echo", then OFF at 1254 UTC
Hmmm...I suspect this to be the US Air Force MARS....interesting choice of frequencies!

Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of Greece 11645 AM 2104 UTC June 4, 2016

« on: June 04, 2016, 2126 UTC »

Tuning around 25 meters and came across a solid signal on 11645 AM playing a mixture of Greek artists mixed with some other more familiar tunes. Don't see anything listed for this frequency other than Korea....perhaps the Voice of Greece on a new frequency? Seems to be non-stop folk tunes/ez listening pop
"I Istoria Tou Erota Ke Tis Mousikis"-Eleni Tsaligopoulou
"I Kardia Mou Einai Sta Psilomata"-Orfeas Peridis
"Lady D'Arbanville"-Cat Stevens
"Gia Ta Matia Sou Mono"-Theologos Kappos
"Mrs. Robinson"-Simon & Garfunkel
"Agiristo Kefali"-Miltos Pashalidis
"Ruperta"-Peru Negro
"Shizofrenia"-Arleta
2132 UTC I also heard the same as flexoman....short bit of music and OM spoke a few words
Just checked for other frequencies and this is parallel to 9420 KHZ...9935 KHZ is missing, so maybe a frequency change?
2137 UTC "Oulaloum"-Nikolas Asimos

Thanks for the confirmation JCMaxwell! 11645 is S6 with fading and //9420 is S9+
I agree flexoman! The music is soothing to the ears
