What song is that? I have that on a tape from the late 90s, early 20-hundreds! I recorded it from 89.9 kcrw in L.A. But I haven't heard the whole thing. The DJ Jason Bently used it as background.

Story about hanging a dipole on roof. I know the superman feeling you're talking about!

Sun has gone down, getting a little better. I think your voice cuts through the noise better than other voices.

I hear some jamming in the form of music that is overpowering Undercover Radio.  Or is this Undercover RAdio?

Shortwave Broadcast / 6170, 1009 UTC, Voice of Korea, Feb. 23, 2014

« on: February 24, 2014, 0117 UTC »

1009 UTC (2:09 am my time)
6170 Voice of Korea had interference from 6175 CNR. But interference was not there at the lower frequency 6168.
I heard the phrase "Our Great Leader..." a couple times.  I'm pretty sure they said, "Our Great Leader, so and so visited the livestock facility that houses breeding beasts." It was something like that, pretty cool.

Early this morning I was up and I thought I would give Radio Tibet a try.  I didn't hear anything.  I listened up and down a couple kilohertz.  I did hear louder white noise on this frequency and nearby, possibly a carrier?  I think the transmitter is pointed right at America on this station at this time.

I posted yesterday on a separate post, but I'll add this and subsequent reports to this thread.

1658 carrier on (and so was my excitement)

Thanks for the links! it was Radio Impala. At the end of the transmission I heard the same as in the first Radio Impala recording.  I remember the way he said "seventeen thousand five hundred and forty" for the frequency. I'll edit the subject...to reflect.

Clandestine Stations / 17540 Radio Impala 1730 UTC, 2/20 & 3/8/14

« on: February 20, 2014, 1824 UTC »

I heard an ID in English around 1730 and another one later. The announcer had an accent. It had 2 syllables and sounded like it started with a vowel. Mostly it was hard to discern because of the accent. But the frequency and time fit for Radio Mara.  Really relaxing music with singing and guitar. Singing sounded African.

So as I understand, this comes from a relay in Madagascar?  Looking at my globe, that is on the opposite side of the world from California!

EDIT:
I listened to the links that FPE Consultant gave and it is Radio Impala and not Radio Mara.  I changed the subject...to reflect.

Shortwave Broadcast / 15.170 AM Radio Free Asia Vietnamese, with jamming 0013 utc, 2/16/14

« on: February 16, 2014, 0017 UTC »

There is an Asian language station with an annoying siren trying to jam it. Pretty cool siren, almost like a fast ambulance's siren. Or a car alarm.

Asian station
32321

The siren comes and goes with propagation. Stringed Oriental music every once and a while. Jammer doing an effective job. I bet I could understand snippets of the broadcast if I knew the language.

Siren is about the same sinpo as Asian station.
