    in 1980s Manchester i remember as a kid selecting SW on my grandmothers Grundig yacht-boy n210 radio from 1973 hearing some of the strange sounds coming from beyond the soviet iron curtain. at that time i felt Russia was a hostile and mystical place where no one would ever dare leave or enter into.

      "Russia was a hostile and mystical place where no one would ever dare leave or enter into"
      So right. It's difficult to explain the way people perceived life behind 'The Iron Curtain' back then. My mum was a scientist of modest note particularly among Eastern Bloc academics [1] and consequently she received many official invites to go on exchange visits and lecture tours behind The Curtain. On one occasion in the mid 1960s when she visited Moscow, she took a Standard 8 Bell & Howell movie camera (silent) and shot footage of Red Square, Lenin's Tomb, the incredible 'GUM' department store and so on. The results were terrible (this were not a Plug n Play, user friendly device - like most tech back then) but everybody and his dog back in the UK wanted to see the movies because people here just couldn't imagine that a Westerner could even go there, let alone make home movies. Literally hundreds of people must have passed through our crude home cinema. So rare were genuine professional visits to the Eastern Bloc that frequent visitors were sometimes asked by our security services to do a bit of amateur espionage there - deliver a package, meet with someone, get a delivery or a verbal report about something and so on. This is what Greville Wynn was doing when he and Col. Penkovsky (KGB) were blown (November 1962) - Wynn spending some uncomfortable time in the Gulags and the hapless Penkovsky presumed executed. I often wondered whether Mum ever did that sort of thing. She was an ideal courier.
      [1] She died in 1984 having received, inexplicably, a Polish Wikipedia page - the only one. How odd.

    I'm an electronics/software guy that has a hobby in clocks and electronic timekeeping, synchronisation etc.
    I expect the ticking clock transmission is exactly what it appears to be... a clock.
    Sending a precise 1 second tick would be very effective for keeping equipment in correct time synchronisation. It only requires an accurate second pulse because any drift of the receiving clock devices is quite slow, so they can easily be disciplined into precise timekeeping by receiving the 1 second pulse signal, even if there are large breaks in transmission. I have made similar systems myself.
    It makes sense to have a state run 1 second pulse, for older equipment before GPS timekeeping or even in case of GPS loss due to war etc.

      Yeah, I used to be a calibration tech. Before we had atomic clocks we would run our counters using a Radio Clock Signal, as you describe, to run a comparison tape to our counter, and we'd tweak the Timebase of the Counter until the tape indicator would be running dead center showing no deviation. I knew guys that would disconnect the deviation meter's needle so that it would just hang dead dog in the middle to draw a straight line on the tape, but heck, you'll always have some timebase deviation, and all you have to do is touch the needle with your finger to know it's just hanging dead dog. But, nowadays, they can build atomic clocks the size of a 8 legged chip. Take care. It's great to see that soimebody like you is monitoring the World.

Remember that Europe uses 50Hz for the same applications, and so the Frequency of Line power can be all over the place without it ever mattering. Also, frequencies, for calibration have to be traceable to some standard. The Radio Frequencies ARE cerrtified, and so the calibrator can submit the identification of the Radio Broadcaster, along with his deviation comparison tape record, in the counters certification file.

      As a child of 1972 I completely understand what you’re saying. It’s so crazy because it really was a scary time to be alive, and at the same time it was so exciting. Especially down here in New Orleans because a lot of people didn’t know that New Orleans was quite the little hotspot at times because of it being a major port in the Gulf of Mexico, the river, and because of the Air Station here to. We use to watch completely blacked out airplanes late at night or in the early early morning hours between midnight and 3 am. My family are all cops and my uncle Mike who was like the super cop type because he was a homicide detective, and a member of SWAT. Because our swat team for the NOPD also worked their regular police department jobs, and when he transferred out of homicide he was technically assigned to motor pool because he was building a remote control system for an unmarked police car that was used in hostage situations. All while working on the department’s communications systems so he got into the number stations more or less as a hobby, but was able to use the network towers the department had to listen in to them. Personally my knowledge of ham radio and such, but his son and me were the same age so we would stay at each other’s houses on the weekend’s, and he would show us and let us listen to them with him. An of course to us kids he was like Q from James Bond Movies. Sorry for the long comment about this. It’s just the video and your post brought back so many memories that I really haven’t thought about in probably 20 years give or take. Think I need to call my uncle and see how he’s doing

    I can confirm how creepy it was coming across a numbers station in the late `80's early `90's as a kid before I knew what they where. It became my favorite things to do late at night because it felt like a little window into a forbidden bit of the ether!
    I found out later on in the late `90's when I got my ham ticket what they where, and really got into it. Then when my family finally got internet service, I started learning about number stations which led me down a rabbit hole that got me into hacking, IT, and to my current job of being a system tech in Land Mobile Radio.
    I still love listening to the old style station numbers stations because it brings me back to those fun nights as a kid listening to them on my old Halicrafts tube HF rig!

      Shortwave is more relevant than ever but you just can’t “dive in”. You do need to know time of day, versus the frequency. Higher frequencies work better in daylight, lower (below 10 MHz) work better in darkness conditions. There are other variables. I can hear AIR traffic (which is sporadic) at about 8900 kHz. The hobby is not dead, but you have to search through the bands and above all, be patient.

    Does anybody listen to China Radio International on short wave? I sometimes have it on on the background. Very slick, informative and for the most part pseudo-credible. It puts me in mind of SWLing the 'communist stations' that were easily audible in the evenings across the UK in the 1960s and beyond. They were terrible: laughably crude propaganda particularly the ridiculous and plainly made up 'Listeners Letters' - "Cedric from Smethwick asks whether life for workers in the glorious USSR is really as good as people say. Cedric, it's BETTER..." and so on. The most amazing was Radio Tirana in Albania (that secretive, repressive nation being aligned with Mao's China rather than the USSR) where the 'News' was so breathtakingly false, so distortedly anti-Western that it made your jaw drop. Dishonesty like that was quite a shock, then. These days we'd just mutter about Fake News and ignore it.

      Do a Google on "June Taylor", who was Tirana's main announcer in Cold War days. Her story is interesting - a New Zealander of Maori origin, adopted daughter of a left-wing dentist, who ended up reading dreary propaganda for years in a tinpot dictatorship on the other side of the world.

      I do, on a tiny C Crane Skywave SSB, east coast of the US. That's exactly what it reminds me of, too, although I didn't start listening until the late '70s. I always wonder if VOA copied that slick manner, or if propaganda just oozes out that way over the radio...

      Yes and also North Korea on 12015kHz although CRI sometimes broadcast on the same frequency, it's fun hearing how productivity and food production is at an all time record, it reminds me of the USSR propoganda in the 1970s where the claimed tractor production figures would mean everyone had one lol.

    We had this weird old radio that sat in our kitchen and one evening I was looking for a pirate radio station (this was the late 80's) and I came across two stations right next to each other on the end of the tuning scale, one was a morse code and the other was a man reading out numbers in English but it was accented making it clear English was not his first language, it was creepy and sinister.

      The only Thunderbolts that could produce alternate wail were 1003s, as they were the only ones with solenoid shutters. The audio here, though, is from something electronic, most likely a Modulator, though one could probably get an EOWS-series to produce it, as well

  • @JJiMedia
    @JJiMedia 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    A great video as always! I think that during your session listening to The Buzzer, you encountered a thing that's been going on for some time now: The Buzzer sending different types of digital transmissions. This has happened from time to time, but in an increasing rate. A few months back, I witnessed Buzzer's distinct signature signal going out in my SDR's waterfall. I tuned to the frequency and it started sending a digital transmission. They usually stopped for a few seconds with silence, the channel marker returning briefly and cutting off abruptly, a few seconds of silence and another, different digital transmission resumed. During the pauses I also heard some russian voices briefly, one with counting up, which in the middle of it changed to a digital transmission. This went on for about an hour and a half with the channel marker appearing after a brief silence and then going out again. During this period, they also used nearby frequencies to send similar digital signals.
    This test also attracted some pirates: Between the silence, another russian voice was caught singing something like "perturbatsij, perturbatsij" and that could also be heard mixed with the digital transmissions. Also some music was played and heard underneath the digital signal and once the signal stopped, the music continued.
    My best guess is that what you heard and published in this video was actually The Buzzer being used as a digital transmission test, with pirates trying to jam it to the best of their abilities. The channel marker was likely off during that time.

    UVB is certainly getting weird lately. I just made a recording of it, and I caught it cut from the digital hash back to the buzzer, then back to the hash, then a lot more crackling noise, then it beeped a bit, then back to the hash. It didn't sound like it was being jammed, so I think that might all be coming from the official military transmitters. I can provide the clip if you'd like. Please let me know.

    Hey there =)
    Recently i was testing my Malahit DSP2 with a telescopic antenna and i was listening to a "Buzzer" frequency. Reception was bad, considering i was around 30 km from the UVB-76 located (as internet says) in Naro Fominsk (i was testing Malahit at the 55.5148°N 36.9786°E Selyatino). I was standing outside (testing it at a day and at night), sky was clear, no any interfering objects around me. So, the question is, is this "Buzzer" really is on this Naro Fominsk location? Or it's just a rumor?

    The Ticking Clock is 5x5 and sometimes much stronger here in southern Australia before morning greyline.

    This signal has no fading whatsoever and would seem to be beyond a pirate effort at this point.

    I remember that back in the 1980s, a signal could be heard in Germany, somewhere in the usual VHF range used for radio (88-108 MHz), where numbers were read and constantly repeated. Probably doesn't exist any more, but I know we wildly speculated about the reason and use of that signal. I still think it was related to the secret service of the GDR.
