The Source Of The Most Terrifying Signal Ever​

Nov 30, 2023

The Most Terrifying Shortwave Signal Ever • The Most Terrifying Shortwave Signal ...

I made a video recently on the story of the famous East German numbers station, Gongs and Chimes. This was one of the most unnerving numbers stations with its eerie gongs and chimes sound who’s quality worsened as the tape it was sent from degraded over the years.

It was widely believed for many years, in the numbers station community that the station, Enigma ID G03 came from Zeesen or other transmitting facilities in the Konings Wusterhausen area of Germany. However, other sources I’ve researched seem to suggest otherwise.

Booming signal from Istanbul today on 17715 kHz, and a very interesting program on old Turkish architecture, enveloped in dreamy traditional music.
The Voice of Turkey has a variety of programs in several languages, including French, Spanish and English on about any imaginable topic. I tune to them regularly for news and culture from that fascinating country.

The Choyong LC90 AM/FM/SW/IN Radio. THE PERFECT RADIO DOES EXIST!​

Jan 20, 2024

I've reviewed a lot of radios over the years, and I've owned many many more. Of all of them, and I mean ALL of them, this is the radio of my dreams. It perfectly blends the old school AM/FM/SW experience with a entire world of new content that exists online. This radio is a game changer and it's something I've been dreaming of ever since I heard about it's design.

The WIP Philadelphia 1925 Eclipse Test. DX ALERT for 2024.​

Feb 1, 2024

January 24, 1925 test by radio stations WIP in Philadelphia and 2LO in London during a solar eclipse. Music by Ted Weems Orchestra in 1925 playing "Nine O'Clock Sal," a composition written by Jack LeRoy. It was LeRoy's orchestra that was heard by Londoners over WIP. Maybe if WPAJ 1120 kHz in New Haven, Connecticut had more power it could have been picked for the test, since they were located at the center of the path. But the station was a mere 100 watts and WIP was a whopping 500 watts. Also, maybe propagation on 1120 kHz was not efficient or there would be interference received abroad. A month after the eclipse, on February 21, WPAJ was renamed WDRC. Newspapers of the day projected the next similar eclipse not occurring until April 8, 2024. Unfortunately, modern data on this eclipse shows the path of darkness will not extend to Europe. The center of the 2024 eclipse will be near Buffalo, NY. Of note, see my video aircheck of WKBW during a 1982 lunar eclipse.

Reaching hostages and prisoners, through Israeli and Palestinian radio​

TEL AVIV, Israel, and RAMALLAH, West Bank — Thousands of Israeli and Palestinian families know nothing about the fate of their relatives — Israelis held captive in Gaza and Palestinians jailed in Israel — during the Israel-Hamas war.

No phone calls. No letters. Just a few short Hamas hostage videos and limited lawyers' visits to Israeli prisons. Even as diplomats try to reach a cease-fire deal for their release, it is an ongoing source of anguish for the families.

So Israeli and Palestinian radio stations are broadcasting their voices, hoping their loved ones hear them.

M.P. Pedersen B285K radio receiver​

The M.P. Pedersen B285K was a professional radio receiver made in Denmark in the 1950s. It was extensively used in ships and in coast, weather and scientific stations, such as most of the ones along the coast of Greenland, for many years.
It covers the long, medium and short wave ranges in 6 steps, which are selected by turning a large drum that contains the coils for each of the bands.
