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.
C-QUAM!
Yeah, I know, that's been tried before. Maybe it come back.
If not, we always have X-FM.
Doubt it, as "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
In the video, there was a carrier on 14940 and his 2nd VFO was set to that as well.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Firedrake changing habits or reduced use?
« on: April 21, 2013, 1716 UTC »
At 0430Z this morning, found 16360 kHz had programming, but was not Firedrake. At first thought it was SOH, but quickly dispensed with that notion as the signal was too strong. Got a recording and wasn't able to ID it as CNR 1, but guessing that it more than likely is.
Glenn Hauser on the dxld mailing list also noted the same change in broadcasts.
Although, not sure why jamming with CNR 1 would be more acceptable than jamming with Firedrake (or any other method).
Would be interesting to know if the satellites that carry the Firedrake for the SW xmtrs are still carrying it or that programming has changed too.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Ana Montes did much harm spying for Cuba. Chances are, you haven’t heard of her.
« on: April 21, 2013, 1407 UTC »
Montes used the Sony ICF-2010.
So did the Alavarez's that were caught in 2006 after spying for Cuba for 30 years:

In the late 70's, there was a mother & son that tried to escape East Germany with the help of a Stasi agent as well as the West German BND. They used a numbers station to get their instructions from the BND.

Very weak and not identifiable. RRS is usually stronger. This signal is consistent with RTN.

Yeah, a definitely strange place. Have found them all over the place (12-19 MHz), normally outside of the SWBC bands. Was listening to them the other day on 15900 and coming in strong. Morning, can hear them at 13820, 13920 or 13970.

They're jamming the Sound of Hope, among others, and that's supposedly one of their frequencies.

Is 16160 really SOH? Beats me.
