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.

Hello and welcome back.... Just a quick message to hope everyone had a happy Christmas and New Year...

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
