Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
For a while now (month or so), when catching EAMs on 8992, I've heard it start up but stop after just a second or two, at randoms times in the space between messages. When I caught full-on buzzing last night, I didn't immediately connect the two. Then, right after posting about it, I heard it from its start, and it winds up like an old airplane engine, slowly building up to the full BUZZZZZ.

Utility / Re: HFGCS 8992 USB 0141 UTC 13 MAR 2022
« on: March 13, 2022, 1747 UTC »Hello Erik,
Have a look at this post, 8992 anomaly.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,93928.msg299591.html#msg299591
The signal is still UNID at this time and I have been referring to it as the "Buzz Saw". Under normal conditions you will hear an 18 to 26 second or so long emission ever 2 minutes 45 seconds.
I still believe the actual frequency to be 8991.0 kHz and 5 kHz wide. I can see some product in the waveform all the way up to 4.8 kHz.
For a while now (month or so), when catching EAMs on 8992, I've heard it start up but stop after just a second or two, at randoms times in the space between messages. When I caught full-on buzzing last night, I didn't immediately connect the two. Then, right after posting about it, I heard it from its start, and it winds up like an old airplane engine, slowly building up to the full BUZZZZZ.

« on: March 13, 2022, 0143 UTC »
0142 - Is that jamming?! Or a part of some weird (to me) digital mode?
0147 - Stopped.
Started up again like a slow-to-start gas powered leaf blower. As it started I recognized the sound heard occasionally between the regular EAM messages.
Don't think it's any kind of jamming now that I've heard that. Still, pretty strange the way it winds up like that.
Short clip of it in progress: https://archive.org/download/hfgcs-20220312-204331-8992000-hz/HFGCS_20220312_204331_8992000HZ.mp3
