8990 KHz USB ???
« on: May 18, 2023, 1858 UTC »
I have this frequency as 8990.0 Russian Air Force Strategic Bomber Net (CW), But I just picked up a short burst of English language, not enough to figure out who it was, I don't think if this is a Russian frequency I would hear English ???, Any ideas ?

Thanks for the information, I only caught two or three words and it was gone for me, I'll have to keep an eye on it for now on.
