HF Beacons / Re: Korean Coastal Station HLO 16989 kHz morse error

« on: May 21, 2014, 1840 UTC »

Many thanks for the info. I'm just getting back into shortwave after a 33 year break!! There are a lot of interesting things out there that I didn't tune into back in the early '80s. Is this very slow morse normal for them? Cheers...

Hi,
I've been on 8484(U) since 15:00UTC - twenty minutes now - and there is a signal that sounds like extremely s-l-o-w morse. Any ideas what that could be. Interesting though not terribly exciting!!!!

Hi, could this be what I am currently listening to over in Central England? It's pretty weak but "Save The Last Dance For Me" was playing at 01:40, followed by Dancing In The Street

General Radio Discussion / Shortwave Pennants

« on: May 15, 2014, 1736 UTC »

I recently acquired a collection of radio station pennants dating back to the late 1970s / early 1980s, which included a number of duplicates. I though it best to see if anybody out there has any duplicates they would like to swap for any of them. They are as follows:

TNVN - Voice Of Vietnam (14.5cm x 8cm triangular with yellow border) Excellent condition
UAE Radio And Television Dubai (22cm x 10cm triangular) Good condition with a little light staining
UAE Radio And Television Dubai (22cm x 10cm triangular) Good condition with a little creasing to the point

Voice Of Tigray Revolution coming in strong to central England on 5950 with some great Ethiopian music. Hopefully get the ID before sign-off. A good evening for the African stations, after getting Radio Uganda earlier.

Extremely strong signal coming into central England from Radio Uganda this evening - much stronger than any time over the past few weeks. 10kw from Kampala - sounds more like 100kw!!

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Who is under WWV 15000?

« on: April 11, 2014, 0555 UTC »

There are a few clips of Italcable (15000) on youtube, but the one I've been listening to recently is different to these. The pitch of the beeps remains constant on these, and the music is very prominent. It is definitely an ascending pitch that I've been listening too (I am listening to a recording of it right now on my phone) but the brief musical interlude is very quiet and muffled - even when the signal is coming in strong, so you will probably not hear it on a weak signal. Though the actual voice of the announcer sounds different to the youtube clips, the content is exactly the same.

Hi,
I regularly come across an Italian time signal station on 15000. On each five-second cycle, there are four beeps that rise in pitch, followed by a double beep. There is a time announcement every minute - eg ora tre e quarante cinque. On the hour, :15, :30 and :45 there is an ID announcement and a website address in morse: www.associazioneitalcable.it After a brief musical interlude, lasting approx twelve seconds, and a sound resembling a fax machine message, the beeps resume.
Regards,
Glen
