It's times like these that we are reminded that RADIO will always be the "go to" communications medium. TV, Internet and cellular networks are a "fragile" and can be taken down quickly, But 100s or 1000s of ordinary radio transmitters? Not so much. Any time "shit gets real" I grab my SW receiver and a long wire to see if I can get the REAL story.
@@ohgosh5892 Yes, TV and cell networks use radio, but need far more complicated and centralized control systems. Much easier to take down than individual basic radio transmitters.
@@jamesslick4790 An isolated radio station is as useful as a one-ended bridge. Radio stations have to be networked to be of any use. They only work with power, it has to come from somewhere. The operators have to be fed and watered, and have to sleep. All of that has to come from somewhere. Your fantasy is great fun, but it is quite unrealistic. Are you a prepper?
@@ohgosh5892 I can generate my own power from a generator or solar panels. I have plenty of food, and I have a bed to sleep in. And my shortwave radio has allowed me to stay in touch with people when the networks are down. We have regularly established networks for exchange of information, including third party messages. My ham radio doesn't depend on anyone but me...and it has come in handy in an emergency. So, no, it is not "unrealistic." It is very real. No, I am not a prepper...but ham radio and shortwave broadcasts will always have a very real, practical application.
@@joelandjen "I have plenty of food" For an hour? A day? A week? A year? And your water supply, who provides it? Who provides diesel for your generator? Who are the other stations, and how is it that they happen to be in a place which needs information which you happen to have? You are living some bizarre fantasy out here, aren't you? You sound like you need psychological help to me.
Thank you for mentioning our country and thank for support from your country! I have a somewhat detuned standard radio with which I was able to receive signals below 150 kHz and at frequencies of 145-148 kHz there was a signal which I had not heard before, probably for military purposes. The sound is constantly repeated, sounds like "beep-beep". There is also about 139 kHz digital transmission, but it existed 3 years ago.
Surender is the only moral thing to do...especially since Washington is the one who pushed for this war for the last 30-40 years. Your country belongs in the soviet sphere of influence and NATO should have not gone any further than Germany. But hey our billionaires need to make weapons sales somehow.

Hi Mike, Likely sweep jamming from either RU or UA. There are 3 main types of jamming that NATO E.W. recognizes. Spot, sweep and barrage. Spot is one Frequency and one moment with any given power output. Sweep is multiple frequencies over a single "bandwidth" with variably sized steps. Barrage is a true bandwidth covering multiple frequencies typically at a VERY high power output. Have fun with that info. - an EW nerd
I was wanting to listen to short wave radio for under $200. After research, you tube, and reviews I am more lost than when I started. Even if I buy a 300 dollar unit I am doubtful it will work. I live in a valley so I think I’ll need to make some funky antennae modifications. I guess I’ll need an external jack for an antennae, maybe wire. Not sure what kind of wire. I was thinking about connecting it to some fencing. Any ideas? (My experience is seldom does anything work unless you know the trade secrets.)
Buy an RTL-SDR dongle (about £20), RG58 coax with PL259 connectors, use a PL259 to SMA adapter cable (to make the coax fit the dongle), buy some speaker wire (20m?) buy a banana plug 🔌 that fits into a PL259 through the wire over a fence in a loop

@@akfromak how you feeling today about your statement ❓ it’s out now the USA has came forward and said yes we have bio labs in Ukrainian, and they are studying new Corona virus that bats carry.

How many hams you know that can afford one of those SUNSDR2 to or DX? Those guys are few and far between here in Louisville KY.

I see you have the SunSDR2 Pro. As an owner of the SunSDR2 DX, I am now concerned with the effect of potential sanctions on the ability to get software updates (or any updates at all) from Expert Electronics in Russia.

Do you think what about the idea to stop to make QSO with Russia and Belorussia ? On all radio częstotliwoąściach. Aggressive states which are this they caused the war with the Ukraine. They also threaten the war with different European countries. There are sanctions on Russia and Belorussia done by NATO, UE, USA, Canada, Japan. And what should we, as the radio community, should what do ? I greet..and 73 !
Can you buy one and pretend you're a British black and white movie captain, and say things like "JOLLY GOOD OLD BEAN, ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY FROM MOSCOW AND LOOK FORWARD TO A CUP OF TEA IN RED SQUARE OLD BOY, OVER."
Nobody is responding to any Russians at the moment they are either being completely ignored, having the Ukrainian national anthem played back, or more usually told where to go in no uncertain terms. The few left communicating are reduced to calling the only place with people still friendly with them in Transnistria, Moldova but it can be a hopeless task to make contacts there I heard one try though from Belgorod. In Belorussia the government is friendly with Moscow but not the people who are more closely related with Ukrainians and Poles.
Anyone listening to 7.100 or 7.055 recently?. Sounds like pre-recorded content, sometimes music. Its been going on for a long time, long before they invaded.
I stand corrected, I was wrong, it seems that the Russian military is not scrambling ALL of their transmissions, however do you speak Russian? I don't, I wonder if Google has a translator that you could feed this through, thanks for the videos, sorry for the first comments, hope you didn't take it personally, at times especially in war anything is possible.
But allow me, how is it that Russia and Belarus attacked Ukraine? Ukraine, according to your reports, has been fighting for 8 years in Ukraine. Or have you been lying all this time, or are you lying now?
For those in US, what frequencies would you hear what is live in Ukraine on Ham Radio? Assume is listeners of Russian & Ukraine language ( not me, friends) in MD & VA! 14 Mega htx during daytime? Dick W1DGA

What with everyone saying “the Ukraine” ??? It’s just Ukraine. It’s like saying the Russia??? It’s wrong
What’s with people jumping on an honest mistake just because they’ve just learned that themselves. Is it the same people that look for wrong pronouns
Great video. What SDR software are you using on your Mac? I have an Afedri SDR that I was using but my pc died and I’m going to replace it with a Mac. 73’s de kb8viv.
I’ve got a SunSDR transceiver that uses it’s own software called ExpertSDR2
What is happening on 7065 LSB?
Just spoken to a friend in Lithuania panic buying, petrol queues, power cuts and the president has declared a state of emergency
It’s shocking to see the effect of a full invasion
@@M0SZT My friend in Lithuania has just told me that the protesters against the war in Moscow have all been rounded up and put in jail
@@CaptainK007 Yes, that is right. About 100 people came out to protest. They were all detained. It is dangerous to go to rallies in Russia, there is an authoritarian regime here
@@blade8271 hi. Saying news here now that 600 in Moscow -2000 arrests in Russia.
@@CaptainK007 We don't know much about arrests. watch the news about what is happening in Ukraine. all the media are screaming about it. well, it has become dangerous for us to go to rallies since 2011, long before the Ukrainian events
Thank you, it was educational! :)
This video didn’t age well
Interesting video Carl. 73 de John G4YDM
The tweet has been banned, what were the freqs?
Excellent information, much appreciated.
Nice IC-705 and SDR, and great info!
I am at a loss whether or not I can listen in on my shortwave. Is it possible?
Depends on the frequency your antenna set up plus propagation
Do you think what about the idea to stop to make QSO with Russia and Belorussia ?
On all radio częstotliwoąściach.
Aggressive states which are this they caused the war with the Ukraine.
They also threaten the war with different European countries.
There are sanctions on Russia and Belorussia done by NATO, UE, USA, Canada, Japan.
And what should we, as the radio community, should what do ?
I greet..and 73 !
I’ve got no beef with Russian people but if we were informed to not recognise their ham radio calls then I would follow
mają jak w banku zero kontaktów 73 Andrzeju!
It’s Nepali song
Can you buy one and pretend you're a British black and white movie captain, and say things like "JOLLY GOOD OLD BEAN, ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY FROM MOSCOW AND LOOK FORWARD TO A CUP OF TEA IN RED SQUARE OLD BOY, OVER."
Thank you for your thoughts
Best book to buy from Amazon for a ham radio novice?
In the UK the RSGB foundation book
I must admit Carl have a look at FT 8 there are couple of signals coming out of Ukraine .
I'm guessing all radio comes under the blanket ban and includes FT8. So well done to the G0 station that spotted his FT8 contact on the DX cluster!!!
Nobody is responding to any Russians at the moment they are either being completely ignored, having the Ukrainian national anthem played back, or more usually told where to go in no uncertain terms. The few left communicating are reduced to calling the only place with people still friendly with them in Transnistria, Moldova but it can be a hopeless task to make contacts there I heard one try though from Belgorod. In Belorussia the government is friendly with Moscow but not the people who are more closely related with Ukrainians and Poles.
Anyone listening to 7.100 or 7.055 recently?. Sounds like pre-recorded content, sometimes music. Its been going on for a long time, long before they invaded.
Really interesting video mate. Duly subscribed
Nice one
I stand corrected, I was wrong, it seems that the Russian military is not scrambling ALL of their transmissions, however do you speak Russian? I don't, I wonder if Google has a translator that you could feed this through, thanks for the videos, sorry for the first comments, hope you didn't take it personally, at times especially in war anything is possible.
Not to put too fine of a point on things, but the country is called "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine". Thank you for your informative post.
Thank you!
Do Rus and Ukr use encryption or like freq hop like US does?
Freq hopping I presume however I’ve seen photos of captured radio equipment used by conscripts it was a cheap 2/70 dual band handheld.
@@M0SZT ya i actually saw a photo of a ukraine soldier using a baogeng -wønlb
God help us if this escalates.
Uk no listening Ua
Nothing received here in the US.
All we can do is pray for the loss and suffering to end ASAP
I am from Ukraine and you are mistaken, Russia is attacking Ukraine with the support of Belarus, Belarus and Russia at the same time.
I think he's trying to be politically correct. Russia is invading/attacking Ukraine.
Absolutely.
But allow me, how is it that Russia and Belarus attacked Ukraine? Ukraine, according to your reports, has been fighting for 8 years in Ukraine. Or have you been lying all this time, or are you lying now?
For those in US, what frequencies would you hear what is live in Ukraine on Ham Radio? Assume is listeners of Russian & Ukraine language ( not me, friends) in MD & VA! 14 Mega htx during daytime? Dick W1DGA
Wow most of those links are dead
Have a guess why
your right keep the bands a little bit open , a lot of ham idiot's who disturbing Ukrainian radio signals now
Same applies to cb though not a international range obviously but gloucestershire to France do-able (with 4 watts)
Nothing Specific in terms of researched frequencies? Can't find the link he mentioned?
Did you guys hear the pigs 5 hours ago?
What pigs where?
@@M0SZT Cant remember exactly but was on 8*** area -- was pig squealing and fake screaming, maybe some Russians freaking out.
None of the interesting stuff will be in English will it Carl?
1. Of course not 2. There isn't anything that will be heard. I challenge anyone to post a video of anything they have heard on HF radio that will be "interesting". It won't happen
Alien invasion in America.
Around 3.9 mhz to 7mhz you will se an increase of activity
Ya its a crap show. Theyre running out of gas on random highways ha
Great, im tuned in! Now if only I had a Ukrainian wife to translate all this chatter
