10/11 meters / UNID on 28605 AM 22:01 UTC March 13th

« on: March 13, 2022, 2203 UTC »

I'm not sure this belongs here or under the SW Broadcast forum, so feel free to move it, please. But, this one is odd. It is on the 10m band, in Spanish, and playing what sounds like old-time Spanish language music. It almost reminds me of music from the 30s/40s. I cannot find any mention of it in a search on this site or the general NET

Station playing techno type music on 1.717 AM right now. At first, I thought it was an image, it's not. 10 over 9 here in S/E Michigan. Clean deep rich audio, sounds very nice

HF Beacons / 4/MHz beacons in the midwest

« on: October 11, 2014, 0200 UTC »

Gents, has anyone else caught these beacons? Kilo brought these to my attention the other night. Curious as I haven't seen any beacons in this portion of the band from my QTH.

Into the midwest.

171 - Medi 1 - Morocco
183 - Europe 1 - Germany
198 - BBC Radio 4 - GB
216 - Radio Monte Carlo - Monaco (transmitter located in France)


Considering the brutal static crashing, I have fairly good copies on these stations tonight.

MW Loggings / 530 AM stations

« on: January 03, 2014, 0725 UTC »

Well getting ready to hit the sack and figured I'll take a quick ride on 530/Khz and see what's cooking. Strange, I'm flipping between my loop and dipole (loop is pointed toward the dipoles weak side so to say). I hear 3 stations. One very strong on the dipole, seems to be the Cuban, S10+ with classical music and obvious Spanish language. I also hear a weaker Spanish language station under it with what I call the "X" station sound. Meaning a screaming DJ of sorts with that over modulated AM signal. When I flip to the loop, both stations are nearly/completely gone and CIAO is booming in at almost 20 over. Thoughts on these others besides CIAO?

Other / 43m band noise

Token I recorded this off your Perseus server and the one in AZ. Both have the same noise. Just curious, what is it?

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Elad FDM-DUO transceiver

« on: December 25, 2013, 0309 UTC »

This is interesting. Granted it's a transceiver (vs just a receiver that most want), but still interesting.
