A NEW Mystery US Military Signal Appeared

 Hello and Welcome Back... Going To Try and Pick This Up.. Interesting..

RUSSIA & UKRAINE (Radio Listening)

 Hello and Welcome Back... Dust off the Shortwave / Military Radios..       Updated 09.03.22

Lots of radio chatter going on with Shortwave & Air Military frequencies between Russian / Ukrainian / USAF  military becoming active and we should be able to pick them up here, in Australia (if conditions are right)

You Will Need a Decent setup on shortwave, as these frequencies have been heard in the U.S / Europe as well as other parts of the world..

There has also been alot of jamming of frequencies, with everything from animal noises, woman screaming & sounds of a motorbike revving have been reported...

NORTH KOREA SHORTWAVE FREQUENCIES

Hello and welcome back... News this morning that North Korea is looking to launch an attack on the U.S island of Guam after America threatened to do the same to North Korea has the world on edge.

For those that don't know where Guam is, its just off and up the coast of Western Australia.

Whats interesting to note is that old style forms of communications is now becoming an efficient way of communicating to its people and other interests.
Even our own Military are finding new uses of Shortwave radio (see here)

While on the Internet with everything we do and say is being monitored, Shortwave radio is running hot.
Not only does Shortwave Radio allow listeners to hear news as it happens, its also useful for sending messages across the globe, sometimes in code (see previous post)

NORTH KOREA NUMBERS STATION RESTARTS

Hello and welcome back... Interesting piece of news for shortwave lovers.

It all starts between midnight and-1am with a rendition of Bethhoven's piano Sonata No8, then a female voice reads messages including various numbers, pages and other tid bits of info
(eg - Number 69 on page 823... I'm giving review works in elementary information  technology lessons of the remote education university for number 27 expedition agents).. all very interesting.

Then a different song plays and then a different message will start (maybe a song is for a particular agent and then the message that follows if for that agent?)

I find this sort of stuff fascinating and if you have a good shortwave radio, you should be able to pick this up (North Korea) is just above us.. sorta kinda.

FREQUENCIES

3250Khz (3.25Mhz)
3320Khz (3.32Mhz)
6400Khz (6.40Mhz)

Station 3250Khz outputs 100KW
Station 3320Khz outputs 50KW
Station 6400Khz outputs 50KW

This 'Numbers' station was shut down in year 2000 but with the shit storm between North Korea and the rest of the world, the messages have started again.

ABC SHORTWAVE TURNED OFF

Hello and welcome back... The start of Feb 2017 saw ABC Shortwave transmissions turned off.

With thanks from our Government and ABC boffins, they came to the conclusion that the shortwave service was outdated and 'Cost too Much'

Their solution was to shut off transmissions and direct customers to AM & FM broadcasts, Satellite services (what person living in the outback can afford that?) and online services (again, internet in this country is a joke)

The sad thing is its not just people living in the outback that relies on Shortwave services but those living in the Pacific inc Papua.

The thing that upsets me is that no-one thought to ask the people who rely on this service, not the Government or The ABC.

In the latest news, Senator Nick Xenophon was rallying to introduce legislation to force the ABC to turn on the transmitters and for the government to give the ABC more money..
Read Full Story Here

Another thing that bugs me about this... The crap on ABC... Honestly, how many channels / programs aimed towards kids / teenagers do you need...Its ridiculous, cut back on this stuff.
I have 4 kids who now and then watch the ABC but the thing is, they watch online not on the TV. Surely, its cheaper to put programs online than to transmit, cost savings right there.

Ive had my whinge, I'll go now...

HF RETURNS TO HAM RADIO SATELLITES

Hello and welcome back.... Found this on the web... Looked interesting.

AMCA AND DEFENCE TO SHARE HF (SHORTWAVE)

Hello and welcome back.... Found this interesting.. Thanks to Radiocomms.com.au for the article

The ACMA and the Department of Defence will collaborate on an HF system

A fortuitous confluence of needs will see the Department of Defence and the ACMA collaborate on an HF system that will fulfil the needs of both agencies.
The ACMA, the Department of Defence and the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) have finalised an agreement that will let the ACMA use four HF receiver sites in mainland Australia that are part of the Defence High Frequency Communications System (DHFCS).
This access will enable the ACMA to put in place a new high frequency direction finding (HFDF) and monitoring system, while closing three of its current HF receiver sites.
For decades, the ACMA and its predecessor agencies have operated a high frequency radio DF system for the purpose of locating and identifying sources of interference. Receiver stations spread across the nation are used to triangulate in on such sources, whether domestic or overseas, whereupon the regulator takes steps to resolve the issue.
The ACMA was allocated $10.5m for a new HFDF system in the 2013-14 budget, but by sharing facilities with Defence it will be able to reduce that expenditure by around $2m.
Defence is upgrading its DHFCS as part of Project Nullarbor, which will be completed by Boeing Defence Australia in late 2016.
“I welcome this historic agreement between the Department of Defence, the Defence Materiel Organisation and the ACMA,” said  ACMA Chairman Chris Chapman.
“At a time when we are all operating under significant financial constraints, it is an example of how the public service can innovate and do things smarter, and work across traditional boundaries to improve outcomes and reduce costs,” he said.

A need for change

Faced with ageing technology and several sites that had become less than ideal, several years ago the ACMA decided it needed to undertake an upgrade process that would involve replacing equipment and possibly selecting new sites.
“We’d been conscious that we needed to do something with our HFDF for some time,” said Mark Loney, the ACMA’s executive manager of spectrum operations and services, who was assigned responsibility for the service in 2010. “There’d been some preliminary work done before then, but we were really getting to the point where we needed to do something. HF is a band that’s actually thriving despite the fact that in some ways it’s very old technology; it’s still heavily in use in all sorts of things from broadcasting to military, aviation and so on.”
The ACMA’s extant system was 20 years old and technicians were having to scour the internet looking for spare parts. There were also issues with the sites.
“We’ve got one site in Birkdale in Brisbane, which is now essentially surrounded by city. Now from a strictly technical point of view, it was still acceptable for us to use as a receive site for HF, but we’d had vandalism and some other problems,” said Loney. “We also weren’t convinced that technically it would be a good site for the next 20 years, so we wanted to move from there.”
The ACMA also has a receiver station on the Cox Peninsula near Darwin, a location which has been, and still is, used by other government agencies for radio equipment. In the 1990s it became subject to a native title claim, which is still unresolved. It’s also a very difficult site to access and service, being a half-day drive from Darwin. So the ACMA decided to move. “We were originally going to move onto Defence land at the Shoal Bay receiving station. Airservices have a facility there and we were going to sublet from them,” said Loney.
The third site, in Western Australia, is at Bullsbrook near RAAF Pearce. “We’re actually on Defence land there. We were going to stay there, that was fine, although the curve ball that turned up with that in the last year was that the WA government is about to put a whacking great highway through it,” said Loney.
“The Quoin Ridge site in Tasmania is good. It’s actually between Hobart and Hobart Airport; and despite the fact there’s an airport just down the hill, it’s actually in a very good receiving spot,” said Loney. “It meets certain ITU criteria for voice monitoring as well as DF. It’s one of the few, if not the only, HF receive sites in the Southern Hemisphere that has that rating or that meets that criteria. So we always wanted to keep Quoin Ridge.”

The ACMA's HFDF site at Quoin Ridge in Tasmania was upgraded at the end of 2014.

The ideal solution

“We came to the view that we needed to continue to have the DF capability and so we went and looked at ways in which we could provide or access that capability,” said Loney. “The obvious one was to keep doing what we were doing, which is to have our own system. Another was to look and see if there was somebody else in Australia who could do it. And Defence were the obvious people to talk to, so we went and talked to them. What they said to us at that time, 2010-11, was no, they didn’t have an HFDF capability and they had no plans to acquire one.”
So the ACMA worked up a proposal to government, calling for funding to replace its DF system with a new one. “We were ultimately successful in getting that,” said Loney. “We went to government and said, ‘We need to have the capability, we’ve looked at alternatives and there don’t appear to be any.’ So we asked for money to do it ourselves - we got $10.5m.”
That was in May 2013. The ACMA went out to market very shortly afterwards, calling for tenders for a new four-site system with receiving equipment. It was during the tender process that the agency had reason to consult with the DMO, only to realise that the DMO was in the middle of the Project Nullarbor upgrade of the DHFCS.
“When our technical guys talked with the DMO technical guys, it became obvious that they were essentially building an HF receive capability that could also be used for direction finding,” said Loney.
The DHFCS has four stations - Townsville, Wagga Wagga, Darwin and Exmouth - each with separate transmit and receive sites.
Access to this network would mean the ACMA could shut down Birkdale, Cox Peninsula and Bullsbrook and not have to worry about getting new mainland sites, while retaining the Quoin Ridge site, which underwent an upgrade in late 2014. “We’d have access to four receiver sites on mainland Australia, which would actually in some cases give us better result,” said Loney.
The ACMA began discussions with Defence about how all this could work and a little over a year later there was an MOU in place.
Defence is making some changes to the DHFCS to accommodate the ACMA’s requirements. This will be complete in about two years, which is when the agency will shut down its mainland sites.
Quoin Ridge has just been upgraded with equipment from UK company Roke. “The Roke system that we put in is a really nice piece of work. One of the things it does is give you a great circle line of bearing back to where the interfering signal is coming from,” said Loney. The advantage of the new system is that it provides the “ability to receive a signal, process it and display it in a way that assists the user”.

 Receiver equipment at Quoin Ridge.

What about Defence security considerations? “We’re partitioned from them. We have no visibility to what Defence is doing,” said Loney. “We can drive the receivers across the frequency range we need, which is 2-30 MHz. We can run two tasks simultaneously, and Defence has a capability to run a much larger number of tasks. We’ve essentially bought some capacity on their system, and they’ve put a ‘wall’ between us and what they’re doing.”

Complaints department

The ACMA responds to complaints from users who experience interference on their frequencies. An example is the ongoing challenge for the aviation industry posed by fishermen in Asia who buy land mobile radios, which may be front panel configurable and may have the whole band available to them, and who then go looking for quiet channels. They tend to find the aviation HF channels, which are clear most of the time. “Airservices Australia is a big customer of ours,” said Loney.
The ACMA also works with its counterparts offshore; in particular, Industry Canada, Ofcom in the UK and the FCC/NTIA in the USA. “And we work with other administrations in our region, although that’s less common because we’re the only administration that has a real HF capability,” said Loney.
“We operate on a regulator to regulator basis, so if we see a signal coming out of a particular country, we’ll contact our regulatory counterpart over there,” adds Loney. “Typically it’ll be resolved. Regulators cooperate on these sorts of things. Most people in the HF band are well behaved because of the propagation characteristics and because HF is often used for last-resort communications.”

SHORTWAVE - MILITARY FREQUENCIES

Hello and welcome back.... If your like me, I love listening to Shortwave Radio, There's a real thrill in narrowing down a frequency half a world away and hearing as it happens.

A good setup is a must with a Longwire Antenna strung across your backyard.

My setup is a Icom IC-PCR1000 computer controlled radio using a Mobile One SCATX vertical antenna.
The antenna is rated for 25mhz - 1300mhz but for shortwave, it picks up really well, which surprised me.

With the current situation of war in different country's, The use of air, sea and ground forces all require communication. Most use Shortwave because of coverage... Many tanks (see below) have these huge antennas on them.. That's for Shortwave mostly around 5-25mhz and using Upper Sideband.

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

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

HAPPY LISTENING

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.

SHORTWAVE RADIO

 

Hello and welcome back....Shortwave Radio is one of those hobbies that can be started with minimal layout, which means a shortwave radio can cost as little as $100 or it can cost several thousand for a decent rig.

 

I enjoy shortwave mostly because you can hear lots of different things including weather reports from far away places, news services from America (Voice Of America), Australia (ABC), Aircraft from around the world and various Military stations.

The shortwave frequency band is between 3 - 30mhz. Being low in frequency means long distance.
As explained in a web page from radio shack =

• Shortwave frequencies tend to follow the curvature of the earth, which allows them to bend around the horizon rather than going off into space.
• Shortwave frequencies can be bounced off of the ionosphere, which also allows the signal to be sent past the horizon.

To recive Shortwave Radio you will need a decent antenna, the best one to use is a "Longwire" antenna which as it sounds, is a length of wire with insulators and a single lead to the radio (see below)... one word of warning, Disconnect from the radio in a thunder storm other wise you way end up with a new perm or worse.
You can also use a telescopic antenna which will give you O.K results. Youtube has some great homemade ideas as well.

 
Jaycar electronics sell several Shortwave Radios (Digitech) but my faviourite brands would be Sangean and Sony, Also Dick Smith sell just one radio being a Sangean ATS-505 ($149).
Andrews Communications ( see Links) sometimes sell used shortwave radios that can save a good deal of money, these radios have been checked to make sure that they work. : )
Alot of high end scanners will do Shortwave as well and E-Bay is always an option.

If anyone knows anywhere else you can buy shortwave rigs let me know and I will add them to the post

There are several websites that have hundreds of frequency's available and I will put the links below, rather than copy and paste, which would not be fair for enthusiasts who spend hundreds of hours putting these pages together.
