Clandestine Stations / Former Voice of Greece 15630//9420 Jun 12, 2013 2310Z

« on: June 12, 2013, 2319 UTC »

The former ERT has been shut down, but the old Voice of Greece frequencies are still active[1]. I guess they're no longer a licensed broadcaster and fall into the category of pirate or clandestine. Definition of those seems to align it toward clandestine. Don't know what they're calling the station these days, as I don't know Greek.


2310Z 15630 // 9420  YL talking in Greek
2313Z 15630 off air.
2313Z 9420 still going.  SINPO 45444. RTTY in the USB, as it frequently is.
0000Z 9420 45444 RTTY stopped at some point in the last 47 minutes. Was listening to the LSB, so I didn't have to listen to that thing.
0057 9420 45433 No more audio, dead carrier.
0100 9420 45433 In the dead carrier, heard some sounds from Windows (logging in, I think). Then more dead carrier.
0102 9420 45433 Couple of YLs talking now. They're in mid conversation when the audio came up.



[1] 15650, 15630, and 9420. I have also seen reported 9935 and 7475, but I have not heard anything there.

1230Z 45444  Sports then interrupted by the Waltzing Matilda IS at 1230Z. Did two IS, some digital modes for 7 minutes, then back to sports.


They don't normally play the Waltzing Matilda as an IS these days (at least on 9580), but they sure did back in the good ol' days. Forgot that they were doing the digital tx and when I suddenly heard the IS, a tear came to me eye.

General Radio Discussion / Analog ‘Sunset’ Grabs AM Debate

« on: May 18, 2013, 2042 UTC »

http://www.radioworld.com/article/analog-‘sunset’-grabs-am-debate/219247

"Womble Carlyle attorney John Garziglia recited a litany of items that contribute to a rising noise floor for AM, such as “dirty” light bulbs and computers, as well as the plethora of electronics now found in a car dashboard."

How about making sure the plethora of electronics all over the place are not spewing RFI all over the place? Complaining about the noise floor, but the solution isn't to go digital, its to get rid of the poorly designed electronics.


I seriously doubt that analog is going anywhere in my lifetime.

The idea of moving AMs to spectrum used by analog television Channels 5 and 6 was discussed

There's a good idea, move them into their own band.  Heh, that's where the old OIRT band is.
