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.
Got a time for that?

That was my original thought also, but both flights are regularly scheduled daily's. One out of Cancun to San Fran, one out of Washington DC to San Fran.

If you can hear this V07 source (Far Eastern Russia, https://priyom.org/number-stations/other/v07 ) it is quite probable that you can hear several M12 transmissions each week also, as some of them are sent from the same facility at Khabarovsk ( https://priyom.org/number-stations/morse/m12 ).

Anyone notice the OIP2 and OIP3 numbers on that site? I may just be a bit of a skeptic, but I don't think that thing is doing anything but sparking at the stated "90 dBm" (1 million Watts).

Same for me, I assumed, with the first one, some former USAF guy or current ANG guy, maybe showing his first officer what the HF-GCS was. But the second one made that thought less likely.

« on: April 16, 2023, 0153 UTC »I as well logged UNITED 519 at 00:37 UTC. My thoughts on this one is that the US military may have contracted out some civilian aircrafts to transport personnel.
That was my original thought also, but both flights are regularly scheduled daily's. One out of Cancun to San Fran, one out of Washington DC to San Fran.

Utility / Civilian aircraft on 11175 kHz USB, twice
« on: April 16, 2023, 0128 UTC »
Heard something on the HF-GCS network today that I don't think I have heard before. Two different regularly scheduled United Airlines flight, at different times, requested a radio check on 11175 kHz, and both times got a response from West Coast.
At about 2218 UTC on April 15, 2023, United 1948 requested a radio check from Mainsail on 11175 kHz. "Mainsail, Mainsail, United 1948 radio check on 11175 kHz". This was sent twice, two different transmissions. The response after the second transmission was "Last caller, last caller, this is West Coast, West Coast, please say again last, over". From United 1948 "I've got you loud and clear, I was just trying a radio check, I might try one more frequency also". From West Coast "Lima Charlie on triple one seven five, over". From United 1948 "thank you for that".
A few seconds later, from United 1948, "West Coast, West Coast, United Nineteen-Fortyeight on triple one seventy five". Form West Coast "Last caller, last caller, this is West Coast, have you Lima Charlie, over". From United 1948 "United 1948 has you Lima Charlie, thank you very much for the checks".
Checking flight schedules, at that time United 1948 was en route and a couple of hours out from Cancun to San Francisco.
Shortly after this set of transmissions I heard United 1948 working San Fran on 11282 kHz USB.
At about 0042 UTC on April 16, 2023, about 2 and a half hours later, United 519 requested a radio check. This time I really could not make out much of United 519's traffic, but I heard all of the HF-GCS (West Coast) response. From West Coast "Last caller, last caller, this is West Coast, please say again last, over". From West Coast "United 519 this is West Coast, I have you Lima Charlie, over". A bit later, from West Coast "Last caller, last caller, I have you Lima Charlie, over". From West Coast "Untied 519 this is West Coast, I have you Lima Charlie, over".
Again checking the flight schedules, at that time United 519 was en route from Washington and a couple of hours out of San Francisco.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Crapola Radio 13950 USB 2304 UTC 8 APR 2023

Crapola Pirate Radio, 13950 kHz, USB mode, 2300 UTC, about S7 on sign on into the Mojave Desert of California.
(edit)
And off at 2336 UTC.
The signal here in California was down around the middle of the show, but started coming back up towards the end. At sign off the signal was back up to were it was at the start, maybe a tad bit better.

Spy Numbers / Re: V07 19172 USB 0203 UTC 19 MAR 2023
« on: March 22, 2023, 1938 UTC »About S4, just two levels above the noise floor. Clearly readable. First time I looked for this one from my QTH. Usually I can only hear Cuban numbers.
If you can hear this V07 source (Far Eastern Russia, https://priyom.org/number-stations/other/v07 ) it is quite probable that you can hear several M12 transmissions each week also, as some of them are sent from the same facility at Khabarovsk ( https://priyom.org/number-stations/morse/m12 ).
