SINPO= 45444 right now. I hear it here for the first time. It's interesting, who is being jammed on 6970?

Some weak carrier is audible in Kiev. May be some another (or spurious) signal.

HF Beacons / OK0EPB on 7039,4 kHz
« on: November 24, 2012, 0005 UTC »
Licensed (sorry for the off topic) but interesting "standard time-beacon" station, driven by pendulum situated in the vacuum chamber, was established in Czech Republic.
The pendulum with a rod made of fused quartz is oscillating with a frequency of 0,5 Hz. Position of the pendulum is controlling by the IR sensor, signals from which are driving the CW transmitter on the frequency of 7039,4 kHz with output power of 10 W. The maximum difference of time signal is held in the tolerance of 0,1 sec.
For more information: http://ok0epb.nagano.cz
These signals are good audible here in Kiev at local evening time (e.g. 1600 - 1800 UTC), but often with a QRM from near frequencies. Narrow filter is necessary for a comfortable reception.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: The Mighty KBC 9500 kHz 11/3//2012 2359Z

Interesting news from The Mighty KBC (via open_dx mailing list):
The Mighty KBC will test to the USA on Sunday 11 November 2012 00.00 -
02.00 UTC on 9450 kHz!
Please join the Mighty KBC for a test of a digital text sent via a
shortwave broadcast transmitter. This will take place during the next
transmission to North America, Sunday 0000-0200 UTC, at approximately
0130 and just before the end of the broadcast at 0200.
All you need is a basic shortwave receiver (no SSB mode is necessary),
and a basic personal computer. Using a patch cord, you will feed the
audio out of the earphone jack (or line out) of your radio into the
microphone jack of your PC. If you don't have a patch cord, you can
try placing the speaker of your radio close to the built-in microphone
of a laptop PC.
You will also need software. There are several freeware or shareware
programs used by the amateur radio community that decode digital text
modes. One is FLDIGI, available from http://www.w1hkj.com .
After installing FLDIGI, pull down the Configure menu, then click
Sound Card, and select the soundcard your PC is using.
You might also have to adjust your audio settings. In Windows 7, left
click twice on the speaker icon in the lower right of PC display, then
click Options, then click Properties, then click Recording, then click
the input that works. Other operating systems will have different
procedures. A good way to test your audio settings is to try to decode
the radio amateurs using the PSK31 mode on 14070 kHz.
For the test digital text transmissions on Sunday, The Mighty KBC will
be using the QPSK125 mode. On your software, your cursor should be
centered on 1500 Hertz, where you will see the "waterfall" of the
QPSK125 signal. You can decode the transmission while you receive it,
or record the transmission and decode from the recording. The latter
will give you more opportunities to perfect the technique.
The test to be transmitted will be a formatted html file. Copy it from
<html> to (and including) </html>, and paste it to a text editor (such
as Notepad in Windows). Save the file, using any file name, with the
suffix .htm or .html. Then open the file in any web browser. If all
goes well, this might be the first time you receive a shortwave radio
broadcast in color!
In the future, an app will be developed to make this process simpler!

Nice signal in Ukraine! Clear ID just, Dead Can Dance on the background. SINPO=33443. Interference from "V" beacon on the near frequency. I'm glad to hear Dr. Benway's voice again. Many thanks for the show! Thanks for the shout out!
