New Star Broadcasting

May 25, 2010 in hf | No comments

Tuning the 10 MHz band in the pre-dawn hours, I stumbled across an interesting numbers station on 10522. After some research and great help from the folks at the UDXF group, it was determined this is likely the New Star Broadcasting Station (Enigma V13) possibly from Taiwan. Both the Numbers & Oddities newsletter and this website contain excellent info about the station. I have also attached the audio recording for your listening pleasure.

Whistling on 8891 aero frequency

May 25, 2010 in hf | No comments

While listening to Gander OAC on 8891 kHz last night, I noticed that somebody kept whistling at random. It definitely sounded intentional but thankfully the culprit signal was weak and did not appear to cause any problems with working airliner traffic. I have uploaded a short audio clip of this jamming which can be listened to below.

Boeing 787 Test Flights

May 24, 2010 in hf | No comments

The Boeing 787 has been doing some test flights off the coast of California and Mexico. Lately they have been heard on 8843 kHz working San Francisco ARINC. I have also logged them on the Boeing Test Flight frequency of 11306 kHz talking with Boeing Seattle. To find out when the Boeing 787 and other flights are up see FlightAware.com.

Below is audio recorded from 8843 kHz as they coordinate with San Francisco radio for various clearances.

XSQ Guangzhou Radio

May 24, 2010 in hf | 2 comments

The other night I stumbled across some interesting Chinese traffic on 13182 kHz. Plenty of chatter, music and telephone tones were heard while monitoring this frequency. A quick search on UDXF revealed this is used by XSQ Guangzhou Radio for maritime phone patches between vessels and mainland China.
