Shortwave Broadcast / WWCR Radio tumbril 6100 1:42 UTC
« on: November 24, 2019, 0154 UTC »
Classical music show. View 2 by Meredith Monk was played at the title time.
Can't figure out the source of the transmission. Signal is coming in strong as if it were a local A.M. station. I pick it up just as well from 6110 to 6120.
The website for the show, (https://www.tumbril.co.uk/) does not have the program on now, and lists it as coming in at 6070. Other internet shortwave resources don't show this scheduled for this time.
Anybody knows where this is being broadcast from?

Before I officially take credit for the long distance reception, (8,205 miles from the transmitter to my radio and a new record distance for me if confirmed) can somebody please listen to this and confirm it is Burmese? If not Burmese, what language is it?

Did anybody else pick up this SSTV image? I don't know what the point is, but it's too symmetrical for a false positive.
Any info on the pirates who sent it?

North American Shortwave Pirate / Unknown SSTV 6955 USB 0302 UTC 13 NOV 2017
« on: November 13, 2017, 2311 UTC »
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this:
The board was showing SSTV hits at 6955, so I tuned in and plugged my radio into my Surface Pro with MMSTV running. I didn't bother recording or listening for music or voice.
I picked up one very, very bad SSTV picture that is time-stamped 10:02 P.M. NYC time, 01/12/2017, which is 0302 UTC 13 Nov 2017. The time may be from when the file was saved, which would have made the beginning of the SSTV transmission a few minutes earlier.
I've attached 4 images. The first is the original. The second is after having been processed with the SSTV Image Denoiser tool. The third is the "denoised" picture processed with Photoshop's "Auto Smart Fix" feature. The fourth is that image with brightness lowered and contrasted maxed out. This is my system for cleaning up these crappy images that I receive.
I see a woman in the middle of the image and another woman on the right. There may be a woman on the left, but I can't tell. I hope I'm not violating any TOS by posting something that may be risque.
Did anybody else pick up a better version of this image at the time?
I don't have a good antenna and end up with a lot of these very low quality SSTV images. Some of my friends think I looking at static and making these things up
Can some people please reply and acknowledge that there indeed is a deliberate image here and not just static.
Thanks

ID and Translation Requests / What was the origin of this broadcast - 6100 kHz 2:00 A.M. UTC 10/21
« on: November 11, 2017, 1757 UTC »
I need somebody who understands Japanese to answer this:
On October 21st at night (around 2:00 A.M. UTC), I picked up a good shortwave signal at 6100 kHz. I don’t speak or understand the language, but the announcers are clearly speaking Japanese and it appears to be coverage of an MMA event. Can somebody confirm this and tell me what event it was. Also, WTF was it doing on shortwave radio? Was it a legal broadcast or some sort of illegal audio stream?
At first, I thought it was Korean as internet resources (https://www.shortwaveschedule.com/?now=true) stated that the signal was from KCBS Pyongyang in North Korea, but the spoken voices are clearly Japanese.
