Jesuit Missionaries on SATCOM?

July 29, 2010 in satcom | 2 comments

Recently a member on RadioReference forums reported hearing clear voice English speakers on one of the UHF SATCOM transponders. Finally! Something other than Brazilian pirates! Upon further listening it was determined these folks may be Jesuit Missionaries working in Bolivia.

Here is recorded audio of their radio traffic monitored on 263.820 MHz.

4712 Magadan ACC

July 23, 2010 in hf | No comments

Magadan Area Control Center works flights on polar routes, often handed over from Gander. Magadan Radio can normally be heard on 4712, 8837 and 11390 kHz during the overnight hours from the Western USA. Other published frequencies include: 6585, 13265 and 15030 kHz. Unfortunately the aircraft are just out of my reception range given the conditions, but the high powered transmitter from their control facilities are quite easy to pick up.

Here is a recording of Magadan Radio taken from my archive.

Boeing 787 Returns from Farnborough 2010

July 20, 2010 in hf | No comments

The Boeing 787 returned to Seattle after it’s first international trip to the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow. I just happened to dial in Boeing Radio on 11306 kHz as BOE787 was flying over Canada on it’s way back home.

2964 Petropavlovsk ACC

July 19, 2010 in hf | No comments

More Russian aviation comms! This time we have Petropavlovsk ACC working on 2964 kHz. I accidentally ran across this one while seeking out North Korean SWL broadcasts in the 2 MHz band a few months ago. As you can hear from the audio clip, the controller came in quite clear and spoke English. The planes were too weak to copy, but it was surprising enough to catch anything on such a low frequency, so I can’t complain too much.

6692 Khabarovsk ACC

July 16, 2010 in hf | 1 comment

Khabarovsk ACC is quite busy on 6692 kHz and often heard during the late night and overnight hours here in California. While most communications on this RDARA frequency are in Russian, I have heard English used when talking with American planes. Nevertheless it’s something different to monitor.

Here is a recording of radio traffic monitored on 6692.
