Not sure if this belongs here or utility, but either way, SIO 222 into Colorado. Jamming RFA (Mandarin service) per EIBI.

2348 music with a solid signal, but cut off suddenly.
2356 just noticed that it's back on, not sure how long it was because I also have my other SDR running and tuned to VOG.
2357 Now in USB mode, air raid sirens and "Cybersity" LXST CXNTURY
2359 "BLUR" LXST CXNTURY

Spy Numbers / HM01 - new digital mode in use?
« on: February 21, 2022, 0520 UTC »
I wonder if I'm lucky enough to have stumbled on a new development during its inaugural broadcast. Sadly it's not strong on this recording (it was SIO 555 at the start during the number counting), but it sounds almost like DRM. This was the 0500 UTC / 10860 AM transmission. There was no repeat during the second half hour.
https://youtu.be/OASZ7_gAdEE
EDIT: Yes, it's DRM - winDRM that is. Here's a video of my reception from the 0600z/10345 kHz broadcast of 21 FEB 2022, including the full run of number groups prior to the numbers/digital mode portion (skip ahead to about the 3:30 mark for that). This transmission DID include the repeat in the second half hour.
https://youtu.be/UshA1rC9pUk
EDIT 2: I'd emailed Ary Boender about this and he informed me that the switch to winDRM occurred on 2/10. So I'm a bit behind the times.

2149 more techno now, maybe dubstep even? I'm a bit out of the loop with the names of current music styles.
2151 heard part of an ID but couldn't catch it
2152 either "Clever Name" or "Not a Clever Name" Radio. Going with the former for now.
2158 heard "not" more clearly in the ID, updated thread heading
2159 reggae song

Shortwave Broadcast / WBCQ, 6160 kHz, 20 FEB 2022, 0212 UTC
« on: February 20, 2022, 0216 UTC »
Ever since WBCQ moved 5130 to 6160 it's been marginally better to copy but generally not enough to try to catch. But tonight? Tonight it's a solid SIO 444 and was just playing Public Enemy's "State of the Union (STFU)" into an ID that was not The Lumpy Gravy Show (as listed for this time on WBCQ's website).

One of the best copies I've received of this Russian operated numbers station. Posting a link now, although the video is still uploading as of the moment I'm writing this. I'm still cheaply using the free version of Bandicam so it cuts off before the entire transmission is complete, but it lasted til 01:33:50.

0019 just appeared immediately adjacent to 6932 LSB station. Techno, stronger signal here (SIO 333) than the other one.
0021 off, or taking a break

Music at 6920 AM, SIO 222
0056 "Tubthumping" Chumbawaumba
0151 Heard Radio Pushka mentioned, possibly they're relaying someone else? Wish I could hear this one more clearly.

2255 weak music being copied out west. Sounds maybe like Joe Walsh but I'm probably way off.
2327 WDOG ID clearly heard, SIO still about 222 at best
0004 just caught the tail end of an announcement about going to AM mode. 50 W I think was also mentioned.
