Have not yet heard an ID for this station, it came on air about 0203 UTC, October 10, 2015, on 6924.12 kHz AM.

Good music, but station is not too strong here, about S4 to S5.

Solar Centric radio, 6949.4 kHz, AM mode, July 29, 2015, 0155, with martial music.  ID at 0200 UTC.

This station was on the air twice 3 nights ago, for an hour each time, but I see it did not get logged.

Audio is very good, but different tonight from the other night.  Op, if you see this, the audio tonight lacks low end, still pleasant but not as fat as the other night.  Tonight's audio penetrates better, so easier to understand.

Email address given at 0225 UTC.  It was said several times, but not spelled out.

Off air 0231 UTC.  There were a couple audio dropouts (not heard before on this station) and then off air, no announce.  Hope the radios are OK.

All,

The last V24 transmission I received was on June 16, 2015.  I have continued to search and record spectrum, in the hopes V24 is only taking a little rest or has changed all of its frequencies at once, but it is beginning to look like V24 has gone the way of its sibling, M94, back in November of 2013.

For reference, V24 has missed days, even a week or two, of operation in the past.  It has also changed frequencies before.  However, it has never missed 5+ weeks or changed all of its frequencies at one time, so I suspect V24 is inactive for some reason.  Will it come back remains to be seen.

It might be worth noting, there had been some recent audio and transmission anomalies.  Cross talk heard in the audio had become more common, both jammer audio and Echo of Hope audio in the background of V24 had been a regular feature before my last reception.  Some signal amplitude steps and changes were hard to blame on propagation.  So I suppose it is possible they are revamping the systems, or have / are moving to new facilities.  Time will tell.

Like every night for the last couple weeks, there appear to be a pair of pirates on 14295 AM.  One station is on 14295.0 AM and is voice in Spanish with music, the bearing suggest Caribbean, but that is a weak maybe at best.  The other station is on 14295.16 AM and far too weak for me to get more than a carrier on, bearing suggest Europe.

These stations have been up pretty much nightly for the past couple weeks at least, maybe longer.

Shortwave Broadcast / UNID 14295 kHz AM 0035 28 May 2015
« on: May 28, 2015, 0057 UTC »
Unidentified station in AM on 14295 kHz.  Tonight appears to be Beatles for the most part, last night was Spanish music.  The bearing suggest Carribean area when combined with the Spanish music, but tonight I am not so sure.  This is the third pirate I have caught on this freq in 2 days.

Possible ID at 0057, but too weak to make out.

Really, computers are here to make life easy, lighten the load on our minds.

A warning message I got today, when I could not log into an account: "The system could not log you on.  Your password has expired and must be changed.  You must login with your password in order to change it."  Options OK and Cancel exist.  Either end up taking me to the log in screen.

Sooo....Can't log in because password expired, must log in to change password.

HF Beacons / Post dawn, tune around the beacons, March 13, 2015
« on: March 13, 2015, 1808 UTC »
To go along with my "pre dawn" tune around the beacons, here is a quick look at an hour or so later, post dawn.

- 4097.1 kHz, 1443 UTC, Inyo Whooper.
- 4095.73 kHz, 1503 UTC, dasher, unknown dasher, dash is about 5.78 seconds long and every 10.48 seconds.  Later it shortened up to about 5.3 seconds long every 10.3 seconds.  Pronounced frequency sag on dash start.  Similar to old Coxie, but not sure it is the same beacon.
- 6626.17 kHz, 1531 UTC, ditter, dits are about 0.075 seconds long and about 0.69 seconds apart.  I have seen this beacon a few times, but not sure if it has been reported here.  Almost lost in Rocky/Rainy, but clearly separate on close inspection.
- 6626.33 kHz, 1531 UTC, ditter, Rocky.
- 6626.48 kHz, 1531 UTC, ditter, Rainy.
- 6700.43 kHz, 1613 UTC, Hexy2k dasher, about 0.48 sec dash every 0.91 sec.
- 8193.72 kHz, 1620 UTC, Marin Dit.
- 8194.2 kHz, Inyo Whooper second harmonic.

HF Beacons / Pre dawn, a tune around the beacons, March 13, 2015
« on: March 13, 2015, 1750 UTC »
I have not been paying much attention to the beacons recently.  Sure I see them as I tune around, but not really taking note.  A few of the old friends are gone, and one or two new ones appear to be there.  So this morning I took a little look.

These are the ones noted pre local dawn, I will do a separate post on the post dawn beacons seen.

- 2016.73 kHz, 1352 UTC, ditter, dit is about 0.16 sec long and occurs about every 0.88 seconds.  I have been seeing this one for a while, but I am not sure it has ever been reported here.
- 2018.26 kHz, 1352 UTC, ditter, dit is about 0.22 sec long and occurs about every 1.25 seconds.  Cycles on and off, about 2 mins on for 5 mins off, but this may vary.
- 2097.3 kHz, 1359 UTC, A beacon.  Sends letter A in CW about every 10 seconds.
- 4094.5 kHz, 1403 UTC, X beacon.  Sends letter X in CW about every 7 seconds.
- 4096.27 kHz, 1405 UTC, dasher, Hexie, dash is about 1.13 seconds long and sent about every 2.19 seconds.
- 7998.2 kHz, 1346 UTC, dasher, dash is about 0.65 sec long and occurs about every 3.1 seconds.
- 13559.95 kHz, 1407 UTC, ditter, dit is about 0.050 seconds and sent about every 1.09 seconds.  Dit has rough ending that might be 2 shorter dits, so this could be sending the letter D in fast CW.  Has been active for some time, but not sure if reported here.

This topic has been moved to Spy Numbers.  Since this is obviously CW, even if it was unidentified, it is not a mystery.

While cruising the bands this morning I ran across what might be a new beacon around 4096 kHz, at least it does not quite match what I have noticed there before.

A dasher, sending an aproximate 0.15 second long dash about every 0.95 seconds.  Center freq about 4096.8 kHz.  Measurements are rough as the signal was very weak.

I might be wrong, but I don't recall a beacon matching these parameters being here before.
