North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6924.1 KHz AM 2226 UTC+ 12/8/2013

« on: December 08, 2013, 2227 UTC »

Have a station down in the noise, but starting to pop up slightly, at 2226 UTC. No ID yet. Started out maybe S2 or S3 but took some peaks to S6 within the last couple of minutes.

Edit: off at 2227 UTC.

Utility / UNID 6906.1 KHz USB mil/DHS ops 2136 UTC+ 11/30

« on: November 30, 2013, 2138 UTC »

First spotted by several on the #pirateradio IRC channel, we have some USB comms in American English on 6906.1 (approximate) USB mode that sound like they could be a US military exercise. Tracking simulation with callsigns including TORINO, CORVETTE, KILO, HELLCAT 53, WOODPECKER, VOLCANO, CITY HALL and perhaps others. Speculation on #wunclub is this could be USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (CVN 77) training/testing activity off of Florida. Thanks to mco, N2UHC and Token for help.

Utility / UNID CANFORCE 6855 KHz USB 2100 UTC 11/28/13

« on: November 29, 2013, 0159 UTC »

Right at about 2100 UTC I happened to see some quick USB comms on the waterfall on 6855 KHz. Replaying the conversation, which lasted just 30 seconds, it seemed to be CANFORCE with some kind of air-ground check-in. I caught some quick presumed CANFORCE activity here back in February of this year.

I can't quite understand the callsigns being used. They speak rapidly and with a (again, presumed) Canadian accent. Here is the clip in case anyone can recognize the call signs:

Huge S9+35 carrier popped up on 6925 KHz AM at 2354 UTC. Sounded like a microphone in a room with a TV on, possibly talk about baseball, but it was hard to tell. Off at 2355 UTC.

Edit: possibly Undercover Radio tune-up.

General Radio Discussion / Trying to Outrun the Cardinals’ Long Reach

« on: October 31, 2013, 1355 UTC »

A great, rare article about mediumwave and DXing in a mainstream news article. Worth the read, and the comments are quite good too.

ST. LOUIS — About 7 p.m. Central on Wednesday, a voice will declare on a radio wave transmitted at 1120 kilohertz, “This is KMOX, the voice of St. Louis,” and millions of homes from Denver to Alabama and Louisiana to North Dakota will be able to hear Game 6 of the World Series come to life on an AM radio.
