S9+20 with the Tambov, Russia WebSDR. The TX went on and off many, many times during the broadcast. Seems to be having trouble keeping it on air.

« on: November 20, 2022, 0236 UTC »

S9+20 with the Tambov, Russia WebSDR. Very unusual to hear these stations playing Egyptian music! No signal in Kuwait, so not actually from that region (as expected).

European MW Pirate Radio / UNID (RU) 2920 USB 0210 UTC 20 NOV 2022

« on: November 20, 2022, 0213 UTC »

S9+10 with the Tambov, Russia WebSDR. Unusual to hear music on the RU/UA Freeband SSB channels.

0210 UTC-Unknown Russian Music

European MW Pirate Radio / UNID (RU) 2993v AM 2306 UTC 19 NOV 2022

« on: November 19, 2022, 2308 UTC »

S9+30 with the Tambov, Russia WebSDR. S7 on the Kouvola, Finland KiwiSDR but I can greatly reduce distortion using Sync AM (the WebSDR does not have that ability). Drifting very bad.

2306 UTC-Playing short bits of songs and speech
2308 UTC-Unknown Russian Music
2313 UTC-Next Unknown Russian Music (now up to 2994 kHz)
2318 UTC-Next Unknown Russian Music
2323 UTC-Next Unknown Russian Music
2331 UTC-Op talking?
2333 UTC-Unknown Russian Music
2334 UTC-Talking in Russian, recorded
0005 UTC-OFF mid song

I think I have heard this station once before. It was on a similar frequency and had a similar chaotic broadcast. A mix of music, pre-recorded talk, sounds, and the op talking makes it impossible for me to understand anything that is happening (it sounds like a total mess with no structure to the broadcast).

European MW Pirate Radio / UNID (GR?) 1715 AM 1957 UTC 19 NOV 2022

« on: November 19, 2022, 2001 UTC »

S9 with the OE6ADD KiwiSDR in Austria. This stations has been broadcasting daily for at least a week now for many hours each day with blues music and no ID’s. I really like the blues format! I would think this is from the Netherlands because of this format, but propagation suggests it is from Greece.

1957 UTC-Unknown Blues Music

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Sedaye Zindagi 5130 AM 1549 UTC 15 NOV 2022

« on: November 15, 2022, 1557 UTC »

I am now hearing the actual Radio Sedaye Zindagi with the the Novosibirsk, Russia KiwiSDR on 5129.94 kHz. The blank carrier on 5129.90 kHz I thought was this station is still there and it completely wipes out Radio Sedaye Zindagi on the Northwest Irealnd KiwiSDR.

1549 UTC-Woman talking in Dari, modulation seems very low
1542 UTC-Piano music interlude
1543 UTC-Same woman talking in Dari

General Radio Discussion / Active Shortwave Pirates (North America) October 2022

« on: November 14, 2022, 0411 UTC »

This is a list I have compiled based on loggings here on the HFU. It shows all the North American shortwave pirates heard in the month of October 2022. Note that many stations use multiple names so determining the number of actual transmitters in use is impossible. Some stations are also active so infrequently that they may not have been logged in October but may broadcast in the future. Stations are listed alphabetically and show the station name followed by the number of loggings in October 2022. The most active station (other than UNID with 64) was Outhouse Radio with 17 broadcasts.
