2020 - 2020
S06s transmits in AM. If the reception is good, the voice can sound a bit echo-y
S06s sends tests. This was sent 2 minutes before the recording above.
I'm unsure if it is every transmission, but 10 minutes before the scheduled message I heard a (presumably related) tone.
S28 is specifically for traffic on the buzzer, not the idle buzzing tone. I have yet to hear any traffic, but i have heard and recorded the buzzer break down. The buzzer can sound a bit different at different times. Sometimes, the buzz has a long dragging sound before it. other times the signal deviates a small amount. the signal is always live at 4625 kHz. I have heard it at 9250 (2nd harmonic) and 4695, though these could be pirate rebroadcastings. And speaking of pirates, the buzzer's frequency is very popular for pirates since someone's guaranteed to be listening.
Recording of a breakdown. featuring the dragging transmitter noise the buzzer sometimes has.
Full buzzer message.
click for the buzzer on 9250 kHz. (auto dl warning) it may be a pirate. I've also heard it on 4695 and 4790 kHz
The marker is active at 5448 kHz in the daytime and 3756 kHz in the nighttime. the pip's nighttime frequency is within the 80 meters band, so it is not uncommon to hear unrelated voices over it.
If you're able to recieve a strong signal, you can hear a clicking sound after each pip (auto dl warning)
This is the first russian military station I have heard traffic from. the channel marker has noticiably changed over its' life. the wheel is on 5473 kHz in the daytime and 3828 kHz in the nighttime.
In this one, you can hear the pip at certain times.
before late May of 2020, the marker sounded different. (auto dl warning)
there are more stations belonging to the russian military than the buzzer, pip, and squeaky wheel.
The goose (4310 daytime 3243 nighttime) going too fast and correcting itself
End of a message on the goose
It's not uncommon for the D-marker (5292 kHz) to transmit N or a single pip instead of D
Multiple operators with numbers and phonetics
Sometimes I tune into people live-reading numbers, typically counting 1-10 or 1-9 then 0. I can't say for sure what the purpose for these brief transmissions are, but i've heard rumors that they are tests for transmissions on the military stations.
Please note: these are not number stations
Somewhat often do i hear numbers or phonetics in a presumed slavic language. i have plenty more recordings, but i doubt anything is very important.
