My favourite for NDB lookup is Martin Francis's database. It is a very slick database:
https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/rna

The new and improved version is located here (although I prefer the look and feel of the classic version):
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals

More info, including the European and collective databases can be found here:

02:07 UTC - Hearing tracks change, starting to fade back in;
02:11 UTC - Station ID: "You are listening to Radio Genix"

BELKA-DX I/Q Output

I had the opportunity this past weekend to experiment with the I/Q output of the Belka. My quick tests revealed that is does work as expected.

Test #1 and screen shot #1 bellow is the Belka I/Q output connected to the PC's line input which is set to a 48 kHz sampling rate. As can be seen, Spectrum Lab can visualize a portion of the 40 metre CW band. Test #2 and screen shot #2 is CW Skimmer. Skimmer is decoding the Morse Code.
