Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
50 kW according to information on their web site.
Russia has closed all its LW BC transmitters in years 2014-2015. Radiožurnál from Czech Republic is still working on 270 kHz but with reduced TX power.
6 MW is EIRP, I guess.
The HF generators of such industrial plants must have frequency inside specially allocated ISM bands which are mostly the same in various countries: 6765 - 6795 kHz, 13553 - 13567 kHz and 26957 - 27283 kHz for SW. And even taking into account the fact of presence of non-standardized plants of such kind or some spurious emissions, the most activity of the "sweepers" must be observed on these ISM bands. However, it is not obviously on the posted screenshots: they are active on 24 and 28 MHz instead.

HF Mystery Signals / Re: Mystery signal question
« on: November 14, 2016, 2138 UTC »I think the Aricebo HF transmitter is 0.6 MW, not 6 MW
6 MW is EIRP, I guess.

They are almost certainly noise from some production technique, RF welding, etc.

How about radar astronomy, an active radio-astronomical technique of observing nearby objects in the solar system (asteroids, comets, etc.)? There are microwaves are mostly radiated, but Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, for example, has also one 6 MW radar transmitter system for 8 MHz band, so SW is also being used for this purpose? Could China or Japan, for example, have the similar systems operating on SW? Are short wave frequencies being used on Goldstone Solar System Radar too?
