Peskies / Scandinavians 6230 USB 1830 UTC 10 Sept 2019

« on: September 10, 2019, 1842 UTC »

I'm hearing a back and forth between two males in a Scandinavian language, more likely to be Norwegian or Swedish than Finnish or Danish. This was heard on several German SDRs. Conversation completed by 1835 UTC.

There is data QRM in the background and at first I confused that as sounding like boat engine noise during a long transmission being made by one of the operators. However, after I started hearing back and forth between two operators and the the noise not changing during the back and forth, I realized that it was unrelated to the conversation.

SINPO 45444 on an SDR in northern Germany with pop music at 1948 UTC.

1956 - Announcements in English with ID and email address.

Some Russian-speaking peskies zero-beat on their USB, making comments about music. You can hear them turn up their microphone gain and compression to try to overcome the music, then the peskies switched to 3900 USB.

2010 - Announcements in English, Dutch and German with greetings to listeners and email address.
2116 - TX off the air.

2006 Long announcement by male, in what I believe to be Turkish.
2018 Possibly ID in Turkish
2027 A few words in Dutch by same announcer but with Turkish accent (of course), then back to Turkish. I wonder if this is a relay of an online radio station.
2029 Announcements with mentions of T-mobile in Dutch.
2037 "Biryam Radio" ?
2100 Dutch "Dit is Radio Zwolle"   (obviously a relay)   https://www.rtvzwollefm.nl/
2102 TX off the air in the middle of a jingle.

Dude, if  U are using a SDR that could be a " birdie" also called a spur. I have that issue with my SDR and it gets worse at night when signals are strong.

Hey Dude,

Let me present an opposing view:

1) All these different people located across a wide area, all using different receivers (different manufacturers thus different designs) are hearing it. That says that it is very unlikely to be a spur generated in a receiver. These sorts of spurs tend to be particular to a certain make and model of receiver and can be location specific - it all depends upon the input IP3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-order_intercept_point) of the receiver circuit and the input level at the receiver input, thus a function of the the circuit, antenna, location, propagation, etc. A Sony ICF-xxxx will have a different input IP3 than a Drake, etc. and then the spurs will show up in a different place. Pretty unlikely that everybody will have the same type and level of spur.

2) It's unnecessary since WBCQ has admitted to doing it at this point, but someone could also do TDoA on the Kiwi network and if the algorithm resolves to a location, it's also very unlikely to be a spur in the Kiwi SDR.

Open carrier for a few minutes then music just started at 1530.
"Easy listening"-type song with female vocalist for few minutes then into five number/letter groups read by a computerized voice. I can't recognize the language due to high QRN
SINPO 33132 on SDR in Hungary due to QRN in central Europe now.
Carrier off by 1541 UTC.

Priyom indicates that this was likely V24 from South Korea.

Heard 1458 UTC onward. Signal is only fair at the moment (SINPO 23222) and had to hunt around for an SDR with their signal above the noise. OK on an SDR in Germany and another in the UK at the moment.
