Spy Numbers / HM01 on 11462

« on: January 10, 2023, 0524 UTC »

The usual of course, but coming in fine here in Minnesota. Some fading but easily copied at 0505 UTC.

A little curious if there will be a spike in these with a Cuban Spy being released from prison recently.

Just waiting for this to pop up on an official RHC frequency again

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Progreso on 4765 at 0045UTC

Music and talk, confirmed with a livestream. Beatles Stars on 45 Medley by 0055UTC. Coming in just fine with very mild fading, but a little local noise involved I have to locate.

In other news -- Good grief, someone is playing Stars on 45. They, um, don't make them like this anymore.

Nothing earth-shattering here, but a little surprised that they made it though the power-outages and hurricane back on the air while the other Cubans in on 60 Meters are MIA.

English. 0430, a bit of fading. Usual VOA Africa fare, still nice to hear after all these years.

Shortwave Broadcast / KVOH's Jazz Session at 0400

« on: October 23, 2022, 0444 UTC »

This is fun! I know KVOH cut back hours due to electric costs, but it's still good to have this show on Saturday nights.

Mild fading but otherwise solid on 9975.

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Nikkei on 6055 at 1255UTC

Very weak, but some Japanese phrases and a passing ID seem to confirm it. Mostly talk, but with a few breaks that sound like promotions or advertisements.

This is a first for me! Not bad with a humble setup. I've listened a few times on KiwiSDR, wish something like this could survive in the Americas.

Spy Numbers / RHC doing Spanish Numbers on 6165?

« on: September 19, 2022, 0514 UTC »

Another transmitter SNAFU? About 0510 and 6165 khz is transmitting Spanish Numbers on the traditional RHC frequency.

Lots more data bursts than I remember.

A little fading, but overall a great selection of music coming in strong in Central Minnesota.

Been awhile since I did a SINPO, but: 45534
