Getting morse code on that frequency right now.

Well, now at 0204, sounds like a Led Zeppelin or Yes song playing. About S5

Ah..."Achilles' Last Stand".

Pretty good signal on the SDR I'm using (Belews Creek, NC)...about S4 to S6, some static.

Well, here's a new one....sounds like some guy running intentional interference? He's obviously chanting something in a repetitive fashion, but I can't make out what's being said.

UNID-7054.8-0345-UTC

Any idea what's going on here? Recorded via SDR in Central NC.

Just heard that here as well. Coming in well off a Fork Union VA based SDR, albeit with some interference at times from....a utility station?

Got what sounds like bluegrass and general blues music right now on a Milford PA SDR.

Around S6 at the moment, will get a clip here when I can.

Via Boca Raton, FL. Anyone have an idea as to what this could be?

690 AM

I suspect XEN-AM or XEWW from Mexico...but the former is in Mexico City (quite a distance from South Florida), and the latter doesn't do music (talk format).

Shambala by Three Dog Night came on right after WART signed off.
0323: One by Three Dog Night.
0326: Black and White by Three Dog Night.
0330: Station ID of "W D O" followed by dogs barking. So I'm calling it WDOG.

Also hearing this off an MD-based SDR.  Good amount of static, but about S7.

Utility / 8993.81 AM 1534 UTC 28 Mar 2024

« on: March 28, 2024, 1556 UTC »

Just recorded this EAM or whatever off an SDR located in Dutchess County, NY. 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t1uue1dp3rljfcu88pov2/EAM-8993.81-AM.mp3?rlkey=a8hsz2erapw96to1aa92uvidr&dl=0

It's a bit hard to hear due to some distortion, but here's what I could glean from the audio:

ZZZ3XD BREAK

ZZZ3XDKUD58Q_SSO_HQ2 BREAK

_SOUTHERN BREAK

5SIK6K BREAK

I SAY AGAIN...

(message repeated)

THIS IS PROPAGATE

BREAK

Always curious to know what exactly they're saying.  Anyone have any idea?

Picked this up here in California, any ideas?
"Acme Air, Acme Air.  This is Acme Mobile. Are you requesting BDA from or Red Dog 5152?"
"Red dog five one five two reach.  Confirm one zulu bravo lima destroyed   Vice three over."
"Confirmed.  Over.
"Say again Over."

From what I can glean from this, it appears to be a communications test between F-16s and F15s (or US Marine Corps helicopters) based at Edwards AFB, CA.

ID and Translation Requests / UNID 1370 AM 2022 UTC 16 Dec 2023

« on: December 16, 2023, 2050 UTC »

Heard via an SDR based in Fuquay-Varina, NC. 

1370 AM

The recording is very spotty, but a careful listen will reveal that the station is playing the end of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing". 

Anybody got a clue as to what this could be?
