E06 pirates

07 March 2014

Greetings short-wave fans. Another fun evening, we heard E06's regular transmission this evening and also got trolled by a pirate. e06-5197usb-20140307-2130z-msg-music-bycrysisltu If you listen through that you will hear a short piece of music at the end, from the Police Academy movies.

E06 test transmissions or variant

05 March 2014

Hello friends, Today a new English-language station was heard in Europe that baffled us a bit... It began earlier in the day on 10250kHz with what was believed to be XPA2. This was odd in itself, as that's an unexpected frequency and schedule for said station. Then, at around 1850UTC, reports of a high-powered carrier and test counts began coming in on that same frequency in the voice of E06. Not long after that, the messages started coming in. The call was 123 123 123 1 334, Followed b...

Podcast episode 13 - The lost episode

04 February 2014

Hey podcast fans. We recorded this episode in March 2012, but it never got to the post production stage. I went looking for it the other day and found it buried deep within the internet. The team had a listen and we all agreed it was worth publishing, even though its now 2 years out of date. Its completly unedited, so do expect a very raw podcast. It has not had the 20 hours or so of post production work that I normally put into the episodes. However, its well worth a listen. I have also ...

Site Redesign Ongoing

03 February 2014

Good afternoon, everyone! 4D here. As you most definately see, I'm working on a bit of a design change for Priyom. It's not super beautiful right now, but this is a gradual process - I promise the site will look better than ever in one...two...three...four months/years...I hope...crosses fingers. I've been tediously working all day to find something that fits the site.  My main goal here is to make a dark, foreboding, mysterious environment - as one would expect for numbers stations! ...
