Spy Numbers / P03k, 11420 kHz USB, 07 AUG 2022, 0530 UTC

« on: August 07, 2022, 0535 UTC »

Copied with weak propagation but distinctive signal confirmed by comparing to recording at priyom.org. Too weak to decode into encrypted text, not sure if normal software is capable of that anyway. Off at 0532z.

The Wailers didn't become "Bob Marley and The Wailers" until the album after "I Shot The Sheriff" appeared on. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the trio and Bob got a backing band and kept the Wailers name. Bob was the front man of the Wailing Wailers vocal trio for years.

As far as I know, Bunny is the only one left alive. Peter and Bob died young. Peter was murdered in Jamaica, and Bob, of course, died of cancer. I don't think either of them made 40?

Bob Marley was 36, but Peter Tosh was 42, though around five weeks shy of 43. FWIW.

0513 tuned into the tail end of an SSTV, into another one immediately following. Fast mode, MMSSTV not decoding
0514 another SSTV, slightly slower mode but still quick, MMSSTV still not decoding, heavy static crashes
0516 relaunched MMSSTV after figuring out there was a problem with the levels that couldn't be adjusted manually, but it was too late, nothing decoded, signal gone at 0516.

The Deal twins were a pair of matching cuties back in the day. HS cheerleaders and junkies at the same time. Kim got clean, Kelly still dabbles the last I heard. Junk will preserve you, which may be why Kelly still has her looks? Eventually it mummifies you, see Iggy Pop and Keith Richards.

I think Kelly's clean. And they're still cute.

Noted on the Smolinski SDR, it is in AM mode but for some reason is distorted until tuned in SAM mode. About Russia and Ukraine. Sounds like a BBC feed.

0422 DDJ on the mic, sounds like he might be through with the bottle. Into "Heaven Is In Your Mind" Traffic
0427 DDJ on the mic. Sounding like the bottle's really hitting him, LOL. He's about through but says he has a couple more tunes. Maybe he's not quite finished with that bottle. He's "enjoying it" (bottle or broadcast, I can't tell), hopes your enjoying it too.

Not sure, it's rare for certain. But that's actually a great thing to see, scoring from secondary players. That's true in pretty much every team sport. Obv. an own goal from the other side helps things too. City ought to be able to handle visiting West Ham, guess we'll see who tallies the goals tomorrow.

I didn't know that this broadcast was preceded by the Bow Bells. Generally I can only get them during the B part of the year on one of their 49m band broadcasts at 0500 UTC, and I've never heard it on any A broadcast. I'll have to try to make a point of tuning in. I've got weak but copyable reception here in Colorado where I've been tuned in since about 1630, and it's starting to get rapid fades now. This one is hit and miss given that it's on 13m.
