ID and Translation Requests / Vilseck, Germany antenna site
« on: December 24, 2021, 1814 UTC »
A friend of mine sent me this Google Maps link and said they thought it might be the old AFN broadcast site. It looks very well maintained, though. Does anyone know what this is, or was?

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / Some beacon on 13559.97 KHz
« on: October 10, 2021, 1704 UTC »
I'm not sure what beacon I'm hearing, but I'm definitely hearing something around 13559.97. It sounds like it should be slow Morse code but I can't hear any obvious spaces between letters. There are long dashes, then a series of shorter dots and dashes. I don't have any QRSS software handy, unfortunately. I suspect it might be NHVT in Charlestown, NH based on the LWCA beacon list and my proximity to that location, but that's just a guess.

It sounds like it might have just (17:03 UTC) gone off the air, unfortunately.

Shortwave Broadcast / WMR 25800 AM 1643 UTC 10 Oct 2021

It's fading in and out, but I'm definitely hearing music from WMR on 25800 KHz from my QTH in western Massachusetts! I've never heard the bands so wide open as they are today - at least not since the 90's! If WMR really is still running 100/250 watts then this might be my best DX catch ever!

Sorry for all the exclamation points, but this is exciting!

Shortwave Broadcast / UNID 9715 AM 5:27 UTC 30 May 2021

Sounds like it might be an African language. short-wave.info doesn't list anything. Anyone know what I might be hearing? Just went off the air at 5:30 UTC.

Other / UNID 4869 KHz USB - French chatter?
« on: May 25, 2021, 0502 UTC »
Hearing nearly nonstop voice comms on 4869 USB right now. Signal is somewhat weak and the band is noisy right now, so I can't be sure, but it sounds vaguely French. Have a listen to a sample here if you'd like.

Heard some disco, some weird sounds that sounded vaguely like OTHR (although it wasn't "on top" of any other audio and was roughly the same signal strength, so I assume it was the pirate), then more music. Signal weak, hovering around S2.

My first-ever logging on HF Underground! Signal is strong with some minor fading here in western MA. Heard station ID at beginning of transmission with "Radio Illuminati" and "Stand by for clandestine (message? transmission?)"
