Had Mix Radio here in alaska Mar 4 starting at 0136UTC (thats when i tuned them)

they started out at 12200khz USB (-650hz) on my ATS25 Max then about 15 minutes later, they seemed to move to 12203khz USB (-575hz) with some Tears For Fears, Everybody wants to rule the world

My radios USB/LSB features drifts a bit in the cold, but i think they were drifting a bit too.

Darn good signal during the Tears for fears song!

SW LOG OF THE WEEK! Radio Brasil Central 4985kHz 10KW Non Directional from Goiania, Brazil at 0113UTC Jan 21st in McGrath, Alaska. Heard with a BEATLES! Song. I got lucky, because this song really stuck out of the noise, I recognized it immediately and was able to match it to the 7.5KW 11815kHz beamed at 359 deg az.

I don't have much of a problem picking up the 7.5kw directional outlet on 11815 in the spring and summer here in Alaska but I've never heard the 10kw non directional outlet on 4985 until 3 weeks ago.


The signal was kinda weak, noisy and fadey (what do you expect? LOL) but I recognized the song immediately and was able to match it to 11815 which had a better but not great signal at this time.


Here's the audio:

This is a Russian military beacon, also heard on several frequencies including 7700, 8001, 9041, 9900, 10200, & 10420 USB.

Ah ha.. i dont spend much time listening to or logging or reading up on stuff outside of the SW BC Band, so i wasnt surewhat this was.

a military beacon, probably is using old equipment.. would explain the cruddier than usual audio

Other / Russian Nat'l Anthem Loop 9310 USB 3 FEB 2023

Sorry, sorry for being so so late to post a log and audio.. I'm kept busy by my job and DX'ing. I'm basically working or Dxing and when Dxing I focus on logging, not posting.

Back on Feb 3rd at 0519UTC, I had a pirate on 9310kHz USB at my Alaska QTH with cruddy audio running the Russian national anthem over and over again in a loop. The cruddy audio is partly them and the radio's USB function drifting a bit in the cold.

Here's the audio:

Utility / UVB76 The Buzzer, but NOT on 4625! (Jan 29 in alaska)
« on: February 09, 2023, 0414 UTC »
After 4 years in Alaska, 1 1/2 in Galena and currently nearly 2 1/2 in McGrath, I finally logged UVB76 "The Buzzer" but not on 4625khz and no one in the DX/hobby community I spoke to knew of or heard of The buzzer anywhere else...

However , Jan 29th I logged "The Buzzer" on 9705khz! At 2125UTC, I tuned across the dial and had a decent signal from Vatican Radio in Portuguese, but there was this "noise" under it I didn't initially recognize.

It took me a minute to make out that it wasnt any digital data, weather Fax, etc and when I pulled up someones youtube stream, what I had on 9705 was a perfect match to 4625. After 3 minutes and 10 seconds, the Vatican program signs off and The Buzzer is in the clear.

Here's the audio:

Yes, the date is right .. i'm sorry i'm so behind on sharing this audio.

Back in October 2022 I logged 500 watt europirate Cupid Radio Shortwave on 15075khz at my QTH in Alaska from their transmitting location in the Netherlands.

I finally got around to getting my audio off the digital recorder.  If you fast forward to 7 minutes and listen for a bit, you’ll hear when he turns the beam towards me!

Here is my SSTV decode.. not bad considering the power and distance

That makes a lot more sense, but that's still a long haul to be booming in that loud? I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the Earth's core has started to reverse it's spin? We always think of the atmosphere when it comes to radio propagation, but that giant electromagnet down below has to play a role, too.

If You Know Who was still posting, he would have an answer.

Radio Nacional Amazonias from Brazil on 11780 can be S9+30 to S9+50 in the spring and summer and sound as solid as a local AM

Over the South Pole and up and around? The Hausa are an ethnic group located mostly in Nigeria, so the antenna would've been aimed there. Do you know where the broadcast originated from?

Short-wave.info shows it as originating from Pinheira, São Tomé Island, São Tomé and Príncipe with a power of 100 kW and azimuth 20°.

Up over the North pole and back down, 20 deg az from Sao Tome is headed NW
