Shortwave Broadcast / WWCR 6115 A.M. 23:25 UTC 12/19/2019

The Overcomer Ministry talk show.

These folks always work hard to spread the faith.  Picking this up almost as well as a strong local A.M. station, with only a normal telescoping antenna.  I usually need to add some random length wire to pick up any shortwave.

Around 884 miles (around 1423 km) from my location.

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Havana Cuba 6000 3:34 UTC

Good signal, but not great.

3:44 - "Living For the City,"  Stevie Wonder.

The song is about a black man in NYC who gets framed for drug possession in a racist society.  I wonder whether this was deliberate anti-U.S. propaganda, or an otherwise random selection.

Signal fading in and out with a lot of static.  Picked up good enough reception for a Shazam ID:

2:55 UTC:  "A Stinging Spica" by Polkadot Stingray.

Switched to music format at 17:00 UTC.  Playing Seņorita by Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello. 

The signal improved.

Decent signal.  The speaker at 17:00 UTC stated in spanish that this broadcasts from the United States and is directed to Cuba.

Same quality signal as my last post.  Coming in strong and clear enough to pick up the sermon - this one is from a Woman preacher.  The oration ended at 4:45 UTC and now the station is playing some uplifting spiritual pop music.

OK signal.  Lots of static, but good enough for me to pick up the sermon.  Not a big deal for me to pick up something US based, (around 1,175 miles from my QTH) but I normally don't pick up things well at night past 7200 or so.

Shortwave Broadcast / Russian station 7520 A.M. 3:55 UTC 12/08/2019
« on: December 08, 2019, 0408 UTC »
Male voice was clearly speaking Russian.  Nothing on any Shortwave schedules had this frequency in use at the time, and no Russian broadcasts on nearby frequencies.  My SDR picked it up strong starting at on 7515, but signal meter showed the peak to be at 7520.  Signal cut off completely at 4:00 UTC - voice inflection and closing style music indicated it was the end of the show.

Anybody know what this was. The signal was so strong, that either propagation is incredible tonight, or it had a U.S. broadcast origin.

HF Mystery Signals / Horn sounds 7160 USB 3:35 UTC 12/08/2019

Bad audio, but you can make out the horn sounds which don't appear to be interference:

Just getting started with SDR, so not sure if this waterfall is helpful at all:

This link has all the relevant information:

I've got a radio and a SDR tuned in.  I was hoping to get something from the last pass, but the Space Station didn't get any closer than 275 miles.

I'll post any pictures that I'm able to decode.

What Mode - A.M., USB, or LSB?

I live in NYC, 859 miles (1,382.43 KM for our metric friends) away from the transmitter in Morrison, Tennessee   I get much better reception from Europe and Asia every night.  I suspect that local interference (not general propagation issues) is responsible for much of my reception issues.

Great signal.  I always pick up WWCR best on this frequency.  Talk show.

Good signal, but not great.  Religious programming.
