Same lol. I had a pair of studio monitors that were picking up 1-way radio messages from the local airport, I found the channel from some Google-fu related to that. I know literally nothing about any of this but it's fascinating.
@@kaiying74 That reminds me of my childhood (I'm an 80s kid)... With our phone downstairs I had found out that if I pressed down on the receiver just the right amount, I could faintly pick up a radio station! But I never figured out which one, since it would've required me to sit there for awhile in order to happen upon the DJ saying the station name... However, I'm _pretty sure_ it was an FM station, since all the AM ones I had ever heard were either all talk or classical music, whereas this was playing some songs even I was familiar with (this would've been early 90s).
Looked for a Baofeng review because I'm playing with the idea to get a cheap handset, just to dip in my toes a little. Stuck here since then. Thanks for your work, mate!
Not a radio star that video is killing, though! (The radio star who can most truly be thought to have been killed by video, as in the rise of broadcast television in the United States, was Fred Allen [John Florence Sullivan]. I don’t really think that the writer of the song was thinking of him.)
@@Sool101 The Buggies? The video of the song was used to launch MTV. ironically Radio is still going strong but MTV? Do you need satellite to see that?
Absolutely bloody fascinating, still haven't a clue what you are talking about! As a territorial squaddie signals chap, the closest I got to this sort of thing was on exercise in the Highlands of Scotland, I had a B radio set on my back carried within a Bergen style frame, had a massive battery shaped as a flat box wrapped in tarred brown paper, this was 1978, I was supposed to send a compass reading of my position in relation to a particular church steeple, using slidex, well it was foggy on the hill, 10ft visibility, however with the cricket season in full swing, I was able to listen into the BBC telly I think it was, and relate to my CO the current state of the game. When in Germany on exercise we were told to be as brief on the air as possible as the Russians or East Germans would take a voice print of my transmissions. Ah those days.
Lewis, perhaps you can make a video for newcomers to shortwave about who “owns” what frequency and what constitutes “piracy.” I’m assuming the national laws of the country the broadcast originates from governs how they can transmit from that country, but I’m no expert. To me, it more resembles an international free-for-all, like how Citizens Band in the US devolved into pure chaos. Thanks again for the work you do here.
This shortwave stuff is slowly turning into what the phone phreaks did in the 70’s with the party lines. And not the party line you would normally think of. Evan doorbell did a fantastic series of videos on it from his experiences with the “Party line Mafia”
Only slightly related but still amusing to phone phreaks: Back in the 70's, the Bell System started rolling out their #1 ESS with "custom calling features." There was a sweet spot in there where features like 3-way calling were available but Caller-ID was not yet implemented. In the city I was living in at the time, I noticed my apartment phone's dial tone sounded different and discovered my exchange was the first to cut over to #1 ESS from its crossbar. I was the first person to subscribe to "custom calling." Being the young terror that I was, I set out to create lulz for myself at the expense of other telephone subscribers. One trick I pulled was to look in the white pages for very unusual last names that had only two or three different listings. I did this knowing that the people would almost certainly be related and know each other. I would wait until late at night when most people are asleep and then perform this sequence: Dial first person, as soon as their phone started ringing, place them on hold and dial the other person. Finally, when the second phone started ringing, I would flash the hook and tie all of us together so they could talk to each other (I had unscrewed my phone's microphone so they wouldn't hear me laughing.) _#1: "Hello?"_ _#2: "Yes?"_ _#1: "What do you want?"_ _#2: "You called me! What do you want?"_ _#1: "I didn't call you. You called me!"_ _#2: "My phone rang and I answered it."_ _#1: "My phone rang too. Who is this?"_ _#2: "This is Bob. Who is this?"_ _#1: "Bob? This is Jack. Is anything wrong?"_ _#2: "Why are you calling me, Jack? I was sound asleep!"_ _#1: "But I didn't call you! My phone rang!"_ _#2: "Stop playing games."_ I would sometimes repeat with the same people until they were screaming at each other, but they eventually figured out that it had to be "crossed lines" and they would "call repair." I was a real stinker in those days.
Even though I was born too late (82) that stuff absolutely fascinated me, that blind guy named joy bubbles who could whistle and tap the phone to the tones to get it to go all the way around the world and back to his other phone, and so many other examples. Something very eerie about old tech like this.
I still have the one my uncle let me “borrow” in 1985. I used to stay up all hours of the night listening to it, I was 15. I even had the longwire antenna from Radio Shack in the back yard, it was so interesting then.
Up until they updated the iOS on Apple phones you could listen to WebSDRs when the screen saver cut in. Not so much now. It kills the browser audio stream If I was a little amped but needed to sleep, I’d find a short wave station on the WebSDR and listen to it while I drifted off. Didn’t take long.
@RingwayManchester TAH on 4209.5 is HF Navtex with Maritime Safety Information- see GMDSS MSI broadcast by UK and IE Navtex Stations on 518kHz. Its SITOR B if i remember properly. Thanks for very informative work. BTW, re encryption and TETRA, (or any other signal for that matter) you can get a lot of info from pattern of transmission. Basically a good LPDA and a compass and an SDR or comms receiver will provide hours of fun. Remember RFDX was used in Syria to find Marie Colvin.
The Spanish national ham radio society is URE, Unión de Radioaficionados Españoles. It sounds like the woman's voice is saying "UR Spain" so perhaps it's a partial translation. No idea what beef anyone would have with them though
Thanks for all your great informative videos over the years, long may you continue, Have a wonderful Christmas and New year. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
I can't say I'm surprised that Team Aboba are fans of the channel. A not-insignificant amount of effort must go into beating out the Buzzer, and I'm sure they are interested in seeing what people think, or if people are actually noticing. This channel is one of the best for radio listening/DXing topics on YT, so they have to know you know of them. And now you know that they know that you know that they... OW MY BRAIN. At any rate, cool to get the shoutout! The next time* I try to override a clandestine shortwave signal run surreptitiously by a totalitarian government, I hope to get a mention here as well. *Chances are slim enough to be basically zero, but you know...
Lewis the notorious king of the pirates HAHAHA seriously though it just goes to show the reach this channel has and how well it's regarded by the radio community
You are becoming infamously famous Lewis with the pirate radio underground community. Hopefully they’ve smashed the like and subscribe buttons. Have a good evening….
Knowing to speak russian is useless as im slovak and understand everything! It gives another perspective to the video when you understand it and its cool. Hello from slovakia
@@PAPERMAssteryes. Even with Serbo Croatian or Bulgarian. You can understand a lot of words and if not, you can understand the meaning of the sentence and figure it out quickly
The title is one of those achievements that so few people would appreciate the significance of. I can just imagine sitting at dinner like, “wow, 16 under par? That’s great Doug, I create content surrounding shortwave radio oddities and have been so impactful that I get shout outs from mysterious broadcaster”
I started watching your videos a while ago, mainly the number stations .. im in no way a radio enthusiast or understand half of your videos but im weirdly capivated by them, its like some forbidden knowledge haha keep up the good work and merry Christmas to you buddy 👍
Thank you Agent Ringway. If you are worried that your cover is blown we can accommodate you in the secret bunker, and arrange safe evacuation back to the motherland.
Wow, mate.......a huge compliment to be reached out to by someone living an entirely different life in an entirely different world. But......damn.....it cant help but sound so sinister coming over the crackly airwaves in that deep soviet-style voice. My ar@e would have beennlime a rabbits nose if it had been my name shouted out!! Fair play to you, friend, looks like you might be a russian celebrity, now too! Keep smilin' chap.
i used to be a member in the aboba discord. It was a very fun time for us all. There was always someone in the vc either jamming, or sending sstv. It was amazing.
Holy Cow! Does that make you nervous at all that someone would call you out directly like that? Man, that made my skin crawl hearing it, and it wasn't my name! But, maybe it didn't supprise you, considering you have this channel.
I’m sure Lewis will be safe. He has friends in low places. :-) I met a dude from Panama at a gig I was playing at. He said to me “I know cartel”. I looked him in the eye and replied “That’s cool. You’re lucky. I have to do all my own dirty work myself” and smiled while keeping my eyes focused on his. He looked a little nervous :-)
Getting a shout-out is all fun and games... until the MIBs show up at the door and start asking questions like "what do you know about this?" and "if you claim to know nothing, why was your name mentioned?"
0:40 so apparently the pirate who heard on this clip is an interesting specimen he's nickname is ∆∆∆ or 3triangle or ∆X3 ... he's first encounter on the uvb76 is take back to 2022 april...as i know he's behind the second aboba organization or he is one of the founder idk ...i managed to talk with him twice ...i don't know anything about his real name or his age but probably he is like between 20-30 years old...also I don't sure what is his highest grade but he is extremely intelligent guy with deep knowledge both on RF and electrical engineering...but idk something not feel right with him i mean he probably struggles with some mental issues lately because last time i talk with him he seems very depressed and I didn't heard him since on discord....but this is just my experience with this individual I don't ask him were are they from but the dude speaks good in english but i 100% sure english isn't his first language
Hi Lewis, I think the message on 14.215 is referencing the Unión de Radioaficionados Españoles (URE) organisation (Spanish equivalent of RSGB) is what I think they are referring to.
Hi Lewis, your growing reputation precedes you - great stuff! There's a lot of confusion over the US EAC messages - but their purpose is as you state. HNY! 73
On a special radio my Dad Has was my grandpas 1969--1971 made pre USA codes for interference in 1972, I picked up some Military from Fort Elsworth, back when they had last of the B29 Jet bombers, I live in Pierre (Pier) South Dakota. I stopped using with local airport as one guy said he was getting interference with radios.
TAH is not the only maritime beacon and at certain times around the hour, along with the others, it broadcasts weather information in Sitor-B format. These maritime beacons also occur in clusters. TAH is normally the strongest signal. There is a cluster around the TAH signal on 8431 kHz. Here, given the right conditions, you can also hear SVO from Greece on 8424, XSG from Shanghai on 8433 and XSQ from Guangzhou on 8435. There is also a cluster around the TAH frequencies at 12654. Another cluster of Chinese signals can be found between 16830 and 16900 kHz. Sometimes these signals can only be heard in daylight hours. You can sometimes hear the weather forecast from TAH, in Turkish, on the hours during the day, on 13128 kHz. Enjoy!
As a lad, there was a pirate station on 1610Khz. Anybody with a radio could hear it. It actually got rather popular with people going out to their cars to listen to it during air times. One day, it just disappeared, never to return.
The recorded loop in 20m reminded me of something similar on 40m. Back in Cold War days when Radio Tirana used no fewer than three frequencies in the 40m band to broadcast dreary propaganda, some (German?) amateur tried to chase them out. A tape loop announced something like "Radio amateurs should unite to ban this rubbish from our frequency bands. All radio amateurs please co-operate". How his amateur transmitter was suppose to chase out Tirana's 120kW (plus antenna gain), I don't know. ;-)
Lewis, I wonder why the US military would put a voice message up on a clear channel when they have so many other options available like satellite burst radio and MILNET.
You're famous in more ways than one now! That's awesome and hopefully we will hear more. 😉 I wish I lived somewhere where I could hear it live and or record it my self. I wonder if they will start taking requests??😁😉
The US FCC published your address if you have an amateur radio license. I hope the UK does not do the same thing and your "undisclosed location" can be an asset. With best wishes and 73's, ~KCØZTZ
The DX-200 really took me back to my college days, circa early 1980's. That was a prized possession in my apartment. I couldn't afford the DX-300, which has the digital readout. As Multimeters were also analog, you learned how to read scales.l, just like you did with the DX-200. I remember the dial had a bit of backlash. Other than that, it was a pretty good radio. All the Best! 73 DE W8LV BILL
Thanks to the algorithm for the recommendation. I'm new to all of this. How did you know that broadcast is coming from that specific building in Turkey? Who works there, and what are they doing? Is there a beginners video for all of this?
Lewis, it only takes anyone with an HF radio to talk over the top of the buzzer in SSB and have it heard,. It sounds like a strong Russian accent but it could be any one of a number or accents. Its improbable that its the voice of a person behind the buzzer. I'm told that Russian HF amateurs are getting a earfull , those signals can be heard in Europe but not the rest of the world.
I have no idea how I found your channel, little idea what you're on about, but finding it utterly fascinating. Top work.
Same. I'm not into HAM, but his content is still interesting!
The almighty algorithm hath blessed us with this gem. 😁
Welcome aboard!

What was that song again, can't remember. Too long ago...
@@Sool101 The Buggies? The video of the song was used to launch MTV. ironically Radio is still going strong but MTV? Do you need satellite to see that?

Down here in Brighton, I have high friends in low places.
Lol. And those friends have friends in Crawl Spaces
This shortwave stuff is slowly turning into what the phone phreaks did in the 70’s with the party lines. And not the party line you would normally think of. Evan doorbell did a fantastic series of videos on it from his experiences with the “Party line Mafia”
We all have a party line history, or talking between the buzz buzz buzz of a busy signal.
That brings back memories!!😁😉

TAH is normally the strongest signal. There is a cluster around the TAH signal on 8431 kHz. Here, given the right conditions, you can also hear SVO from Greece on 8424, XSG from Shanghai on 8433 and XSQ from Guangzhou on 8435. There is also a cluster around the TAH frequencies at 12654. Another cluster of Chinese signals can be found between 16830 and 16900 kHz. Sometimes these signals can only be heard in daylight hours. You can sometimes hear the weather forecast from TAH, in Turkish, on the hours during the day, on 13128 kHz. Enjoy!
I actually got to have a conversation with one of the guys operating the aboba pirate from signal phantom’s aboba pirate video.
Channel has grown quite impressively 👍
As a lad, there was a pirate station on 1610Khz. Anybody with a radio could hear it. It actually got rather popular with people going out to their cars to listen to it during air times. One day, it just disappeared, never to return.
The recorded loop in 20m reminded me of something similar on 40m. Back in Cold War days when Radio Tirana used no fewer than three frequencies in the 40m band to broadcast dreary propaganda, some (German?) amateur tried to chase them out. A tape loop announced something like "Radio amateurs should unite to ban this rubbish from our frequency bands. All radio amateurs please co-operate". How his amateur transmitter was suppose to chase out Tirana's 120kW (plus antenna gain), I don't know. ;-)
Starting to get a bit hot on this channel!
Might have to go quiet until this blows over.
Be careful Lewis 😜
This is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Lewis, I wonder why the US military would put a voice message up on a clear channel when they have so many other options available like satellite burst radio and MILNET.
Max has 34 subscribers, just checked out of curiosity. Interesting video, thanks.
It's funny how supposed channel markers attract pirates like a lamp attracts moths 😂
Where do they stream on twitch? would like to see the kinda stuff they use.
Just....awesome. I'm not advocating or supporting piracy in any way. Buy....yeah, awesome man!
0:39 I know the boy!
It sounds to me like "Your Spain" and being characterized as a "Mafia."
You're famous in more ways than one now! That's awesome and hopefully we will hear more. 😉 I wish I lived somewhere where I could hear it live and or record it my self. I wonder if they will start taking requests??😁😉
Geile Folge, Daumen hoch 👍
Fascinating stuff as usual RM.
The US FCC published your address if you have an amateur radio license. I hope the UK does not do the same thing and your "undisclosed location" can be an asset. With best wishes and 73's, ~KCØZTZ
I think you can request OFCOM for your details to be withheld
The Dragosta din tei track is such a wonderful trolling xD I miss Rick Rolln!
You are now a Pirate King! (You are! Hurrah for our Pirate King!)
Yeah, I heard the transmission on 14.215 MHz too, which I heard as "Your Spain". Couldn't find any reference to it on the web, though.
The DX-200 really took me back to my college days, circa early 1980's. That was a prized possession in my apartment. I couldn't afford the DX-300, which has the digital readout. As Multimeters were also analog, you learned how to read scales.l, just like you did with the DX-200. I remember the dial had a bit of backlash. Other than that, it was a pretty good radio. All the Best! 73 DE W8LV BILL
I have one. The frequecy drifts until temperature equilibrium is acheived.
This scarry stuff when you dealing with mystery stuff than they realize you.who knows who behind some.
Thanks to the algorithm for the recommendation. I'm new to all of this.
How did you know that broadcast is coming from that specific building in Turkey?
Who works there, and what are they doing? Is there a beginners video for all of this?
The tune at the end smashes it
I've often dreamed of being a pirate. Sailing the radio frequencies with my best mates. ...
Outstanding!!!
Lewis, it only takes anyone with an HF radio to talk over the top of the buzzer in SSB and have it heard,. It sounds like a strong Russian accent but it could be any one of a number or accents. Its improbable that its the voice of a person behind the buzzer.
I'm told that Russian HF amateurs are getting a earfull , those signals can be heard in Europe but not the rest of the world.
...the abyss stares back
