HAUNTED RADIO - SPIRITS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD

Hello and welcome back.... Something a bit different, this actually happening to me.

A friend of my eldest son (Jack) inherited a radio (A Yaesu FRG 8800) Shortwave Receiver from a Uncle that passed away quiet suddenly. 

From what i can gather, he loved and worked with radios most of his life, so much so, that this particular radio come with a modification which adds Airband & Marine and a Pre-amp as an add on (FRA 7700)

This radio had been sitting at Jacks house for a few months gathering dust and myself, being interested in Radios Communications, wanted to know if he wanted to swap for an easier and newer radio to use that I had purchased about a year ago... Fair swap I thought. Jack agreed.

This is where it gets interesting.....

When the Yaesu was dropped off at my house, i was eager to set it up and start using it...

Maybe i was tired.. but you see, while i was using said radio, younger son (Benjamin) & myself seen this dark shadow walk past us and down the hallway that night...

"Did you see that?" asked my son

"Yes, that was strange" I replied... We have lived in this house for 10 years or so and have never seen anything weird happen...

Other nights while operating this radio, i get a very strange sensation, like its not my radio, be careful with it or like... I'm being watched.

I have never had anything like this happen before... After all, its just a radio, its just a piece of electrical equipment, its there to Receive Radio Frequencies....

Several times now, out the corner of my eye, i see this dark shadow walk past the doorway, hallway, etc

I haven't said anything to my wife as she would think i going crazy, but then, just last night, she seen it too... A tall dark figure walk past the doorway.
Thinking it was my oldest son, my wife stated that she wanted to say goodnight before going to bed but was informed by my daughter that he was already in bed...
I walked into my sons room and there he was tucked in bed, headphones on and hadn't been out of bed for at least an hour because he was watching a program on his Ipad.

 

Another time, i heard the words 'Get Off,' like someone had whispered it into my ear, i quickly spun around but no-one there..

Call me paranoid but this afternoon, I rang Jack and told him he could have his radio back, I stated 'its not mine'...

Yes it was given to me but there's a strange vibe that comes from this particular radio.. Something i have not experienced before from a piece of electrical equipment, Yes it did belong to a guy who is now passed and i feel like he wants Jack to have it, Not me...

Strange, me thinks so...



IS THIS RADIO HAUNTED?

UPDATE - I gave Jack the radio back, funny thing is.. that he knows there's something going on with this radio...
He stated that strange noises / happenings have been going on around his house.

I find this kind of happenings interesting....

I feel there is more to life than we know....

Cheers

STEAM WEEKEND - BLUE MOUNTAINS

Hello and welcome back.... Living in the Blue Mountains has its advantages, Excellent for radio receiving given the height advantage (most of the time) and every now and then a special occasion happens.
This weekend see's the Valley Heights Steam Museum run 2 steam engines (5917 & 3237) and a 4906 Locomotive at the rear to help in steep times.
This event is celebrating 100 years of steam in the Mountains

Communications were monitored on State Rail traffic channel 450.050Mhz and occasional Springwood Station on 418.475Mhz

YAESU FRG-7 HF SHORTWAVE RADIO (video)

Hello and welcome back..... I thought I would do a video on the Japanese made "Yaesu FRG-7 HF Shortwave Radio"
Its kinda like an instructional video.

For an antenna, nothing beats a "Long Wire" antenna but failing that, I use a "Mobile One SCATX" antenna, works excellent on shortwave (Link Below)

SHORTWAVE NUMBER STATIONS - MYSTERY SIGNALS

Hello and welcome back.... Found this interesting, if you own a Shortwave radio.. USB -Upper Side Band & LSB -Lower Side Band preferred..

NUMBERS STATIONS

Is it Spys, Is it Military?
what ever it is its creepy, and has been going since the 1970s. Number stations are all over the Shortwave band, often at night and close to the hour and can go for 20 - 50 mins at a time.
Sometimes its a robotic lady voice, sometimes a man s voice and says a string of numbers.. Eg =

 Numbers Stations
 
     Well over a hundred "numbers" or "spy" stations have
been reported, all rather closely following a pattern. On the
typical numbers station, the announcer is - or seems to be -
a woman. No one knows who the woman is or where she is
broadcasting from. She speaks Spanish, German, or Korean.
Save for a few words at the begining and the end of the
transmission, the message consists of reandom numbers,
announced in groups of five, four, or, rarely, three digits.
As with the Morse code stations, the numbers stations are all
on unauthorized frequencies. No government or organization
owns up to the broadcasts; offically, at least, the FCC
claims no knowledge of them.
     Many of those who have listened to the broadcasts
carefully are convinced that the woman is in fact a robot.
The voice has a mechanical ring, somtimes a click between
each digit. It seems to be the same type of device used by
the telephone company to give the time or to forward phone
numbers.
     The exact format of the messages varies with the
language and number of digits per group. With Spanish, five
digit groups, for example, a typical transmission might be:
 
        Atencion 290 22...Atencion 290 22...Atencion 290 22
        ...65438...34742...23453...23454...29584...24836...
        22334...34635...10202...19375...34653...23457...
        12345...94532...24643...27543...14795...24568...
        75744...74755...87194...63549...Final,final.
 
     Broadcasts are during the night hours of North America
and seem to start shortly after the hour. After the
"Final,final," the transmission stops. It is claimed that a
given transmission is repeated a few minutes later on a
slightly different frequency.
     There seems to be no escaping the conclusion that the
messages are numerical code. The second number (22 in the
example) - is the number of digit groups in the message.
There dosen't seem to be any demonstrable significance to the
first number although it probably has some signifigance. Some
think it is an identifying number for the sender or the
receiver. It may also indentify the code used if there is
more than one. Note that the numbers above are only random
(except for 22) and were never really broadcast.
     The four-digit transmissions in Spanish are different. A
three-digit number (perhaps that of the sender or receiver)
is repeated several times, followed by the digits 1 through
10. ("uno, dos, tres...") and a string of Morse code dashes.
the word "grupo" is followed by the number of four-digit
groups to come and repeated once - for example, "Grupo 22,
grupo 22." The message - groups of four Spanish numbers -
follows. At the end the voice says, "Repito grupo 22," and
the message repeats. The station goes off the air after the
repeat.
     Any attempt to explain these broadcasts is complicated
by numbers broadcasts in other languages. There are also
broadcasts in German, Korean, and English. Occasional
transmissions in Russian, French, Portuguese, and even
Serbo-Croatian are reported. Somtimes a male (mechanical?)
voice reads the numbers. The female robot voice doing English
language broadcasts is often described as having an Oriental
or German accent. Typical of the uncertainty surrounding
numbers stations are the reported English messages prefaced
with a female voice saying "Groups disinformation" and ending
with "End of disinformation." Perhaps the voice machine has a
bad rendering of "This information."
     Still other stations transmit messages consisting of
letters from the phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo,
Charlie...). Some spice their broadcasts with music, which
ranges from ethnic tunes to wierd tones that may or may not
conceal a message. Reported frequencies for numbers and
phonetic-alphabet stations include:

F/M = Female/Male
S = Spanish            R = Russian
F = French             E = English
P = Portuguese         C = Czech
SC= Serbo-Croatian     G = German

     Whatever is going on, it's a big operation. Harry L.
Helms' "How to tune in the shortwave spectrum" has a list of
sixty-two stations that includes only those with a female
voice reading five digit codes in Spanish. Much time and
effort are going into the broadcasts. Some numbers stations
transmit on the upper sideband rather than using amplitude
modulation (AM). Signals are usually strong. Because of
ionospheric reflection, they can be picked up over most of
the globe. This makes direction finding difficult.
     Two explanations are offered for the numbers stations.
It is rumored that some of the stations are communications
links in the drug traffic between the United States and
Latin America. If so, Spanish is the logical language. The
numerically coded messages could tell where drops are to be
made, how much to expect, and other minutiae that would
change from day to day. Weak support for this comes from some
amateur direction finding, which seems to place many of the
Spanish broadcasts Somewhere south of the United States.
     But even those who subscribe to this explanation agree
that other numbers stations, probably most of them worldwide,
are engaged in espionage - governmental or organizational
communication with agents in the field.
     Which government? The Spanish stations are usually heard
between 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. The night
hours are best for clandestine broadcasting as weak signals
propagate farther. So the spanish language broadcasts are
probably coming from a time zone not far removed from Eastern
Standard Time (the EST time zone includes the central
Caribbean, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.)
     On the basis of signal strengths and broadcast times, it
can be similarly be postulated that the German Stations are
coming from Europe, or maybe Africa, and the Korean stations
are coming from the Orient - oddly enough.
     As far as the Spanish stations are concerned, suspision
points to Cuba. In 1975 U.S. listeners reported muffled radio
Havana broadcasts in the background of the Spanish stations.
A station at 9920KHz is said to have used the same theme
music as radio Havana.
     But then there are American ham radio operators who
swear that the spanish stations must be in the United States.
"How to Tune the Secret Shortwave Spectrum" tells of
listeners in Ohio who reported four digit numbers stations
coming in stronger than anything else on the dial execpt for
a 50 kilowatt broadcast band station a few miles distant.
Similar reports come from the Washingtom, D.C., area.
     Probably the simplest of all the many possible
explanitions is that the Spanish stations are opperated by
Cuba for the benefit of Cuban agents in the United States.
The Radio Havana Broadcasts in the background would have been
a mistake. The engineer was listening to radio Havana and
forgot the mike was on, or maybe radio Havana and some of the
numbers stations share facilities and the signals got mixed.
The local quality broadcasts heard in the U.S. could be Cuban
agents reporting back to Havana. Each agent would have his
own mechanical voice setup. Not that you can carry around a
50000 watt transmitter in your pocket.
     The actual explanation may not be the simplest, though.
According to Helms, some shortwave listeners believe that the
four and five digit number transmissions are totally differnt
opperations. The four digit transmissions, at least some of
which seem to originate in the United States, may be the work
of the U.S. government. Only the five-digit transmissions may
come from Latin America - and may be associated with local
governments or U.S. foreign agents. Harry L. Helms
speculates that the United States may have faked the radio
Havana background just to divert suspission from an American
espionage operation.
     Any glib explanation of the numbers stations is further
challenged by another incident Helms cites. An unnamed
listener was receiving a five digit numbers broadcast in
Spanish. At the end of the broadcast, the station
accidentally (?) stayed on the air, and faint female voices
were heard reading numbers in German and English. If the
report was accurate, then the numbers stations could be the
work of one worldwide operation. Choice of language could be
arbitrary. Whatever his or her native tounge, an agent need
only need learn ten words of, say, Korean in order to receive
a numerical broadcast in Korean.
     No one willing to talk has broken the code or codes used
for the transmissions. If the codes are sophisticated enough
it may be pointless to even try. A random four or five digit
number added to each number in the group will scramble the
code. The numbers would have to be agreed upon before
transmission. If a different number is used for each number
block and if they are not repeated it is mathematically
impossible for outsiders to break the code.
     At 3820KHz there is a four-note electronic tune. At
12700KHz there is a plaintive, twenty-one-note, flutelike
melody. At 15507 KHz there are beeps.
     The EXCHANGE serves as a message base for exchanging
information dealing with radio frequencies. If you wish to
post the frequencies from your area (confidential or not),
get frequencies for other areas, post sample broadcasts,
reveal the coding method or purpose of these broadcasts, or
just talk to a friendly bunch of guys and gals feel free to
call.
 
The EXCHANGE : (904) 878 - 4413..24HRS..300/1200/2400 baud
                                   (Modem only, of course)

MILSAT (Military Satellite) FREQUENCIES

Hello and welcome back..... Being a huge fan of Military Listening I thought I would share some
frequencies that cover a broad range of Satellites inc 'Fltsatcom', 'UFO Satcom (Ultra High Frequency Follow-On)', 'SkyNet', 'Leasat', 'NATO' plus others.

Some of these frequencies may be encrypted but now and then they are in full view and if overhead can be picked up on a standard receiver antenna (something with a bit of gain would help), A Discone antenna is great.

Pirates (No, not Jack Sparrow) also make good use of these satellites and some strange conversations can be heard.

Enjoy

HOMEBREW BUDDIPOLE ANTENNA WITH MODIFICATIONS

Hello and welcome back.... Found this video interesting and gave me a few ideas.
If your into Amateur Radio or Scanning on the move, this is a great setup. The pole system is similar to my setup... I have a pole that extends to 3 different lenths and is mounted into a Foxtel pole supporting a satellite dish, it gives great stability in wind but this idea of the 3 zip ties to tie into the ground is an excellent idea.... I'm impressed, the rest looks simple to make... see what you think.

RISE OF THE MILITARY DRONES (Full Documentary)

Hello and welcome back..... I found this interesting, I like to feature Military Frequencies and information on this site.
Drones are the future of warfare, I believe... While someone manning these 'Drones' can be half a world away, if one was to be shot down, no human casualty.... Makes sense to me. Enjoy

GRN ID TALKGROUPS

Hello and welcome back..... Just thought I would share with you "how to Program a UBCD36XT for ID Talkgroups"

So, what is a ID Talkgroup?

When you are listening to GRN on you scanner you will notice that a set of numbers flash across the screen, this is know as the "Talk ID" and identifies the user of the conversation, eg = 10301 is NSW Ambulance MRU (Air Ambulance Rescue)
To create a Talkgroup is to bunch a series of Talk ID's into one bank or folder....
Then when you are scanning GRN and the scanner is in ID Search mode (all ID's ) you will be able to switch to ID Scan (only the IDs you have entered into the 'talkgroup" or Bank)

To switch between ID Search and ID Scan - press the function button while scanning GRN and quickly press the SCAN button while the little 'F'(function) is displayed in top left corner.... ID Scan will show and will start to scan only those in your Talkgroup.

How do you program ID Codes into the scanner's Talkgroup?

Using Freescan just go to the GRN Folder you have created and start another folder using the "New Group" tab (top middle)... see pics below

Here you see my P25 GRN SITE main site, in that main site are 2 groups.. one called GLENBROOK DIG P25 and the other TGID group 1.
The TGID group 1 folder is where you put your saved ID codes while the GLENBROOK DIG P25 folder is where the "Control Frequencies" are programed that make it all work....

Here is where I clicked "New Group " tab and it automatically names itself  TGID group 1.... See where the green plus button is, and just below that is TGID.... that is where you enter your saved IDs that will go into your Talkgroup.

These are my codes that I have entered into my Talkgroup, so that when I am in ID SCAN mode on my scanner (The GRN part), it will only scan these IDs codes.


OR

If you don't have a computer  and want to enter in to your scanner manually =

FOLLOW THESE STEPS  (Thanks to ozscan )

Hope this helps....


**** UPDATE ***** Download NSW GRN Database for free here = http://scanradionsw.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/download-nsw-grn-file.html

PLEASE, Don't forget to shout me a coffee (see link top right corner).. Any amount big or small is much appreciated and it keeps this site happening :)

ACCIDENT AT SPRINGWOOD - NSW (07/05/2014)

Hello and welcome back....Bad accident this morning at Springwood, in the Blue Mountains, NSW.
It was a Fatality...

I was caught in the traffic coming back from Winmalee when I saw the CHC Rescue Helicopter fly overhead.

Unfortunately I only had my old IPhone with me so the photos are not as sharp as my other camera...

All photos by Michael Bailey, Springwood, NSW

GRN Radio was in use....

MALAYSIAN 370 SEARCH - SHORTWAVE LISTENING

Hello and welcome back.... Do you have a Shortwave Radio and a good antenna set up?
You could listen to the search for the missing Malaysian Aircraft .. Flight370.
The search includes over 20 aircraft and ships looking across 2,000kms of sea west of Perth... Remember being Shortwave, the signal can travel around the world if the conditions are right.

The main frequency is 5680khz upper sideband.

Hello and welcome back..... Something I have always wanted, a huge tower with all my antennas on it..... But, what happens when the little light on the top goes 'bink'? .
You wont get me climbing up there, but these guys do.
Stunning Video, make sure you go HD and fullscreen :)

MAKE YOUR OWN ANTENNA

Hello and welcome back..... This looked interesting, Its from a Magazine called 'Siliconchip'.
Build your own Collinear Antenna mainly for Aircraft but you can change the lengths to change Frequencies.... Best of all, Its from parts you probably have already around the house, mostly Coax and PVC Piping.... Check it out.

Thanks to  SILICONCHIP.COM.AU for the info
