CW Saturday

25 November 2012

It has been a busy day for the morse & oddity oriented members of Priyom today, noting transmissions from all different kinds of morse station - several of which are quite odd. The first one to mention is good old M18, a Russian operated time station which gives a continuous update of the current time for several timezones. The mostly observed timezone for M18 is MSK (Moscow time) but in the current transmission which I first observed last night (23rd Nov.) on 3803k...

UPDATE 2! New message format on Pip (S30)

10 October 2012

Edit 11.10.2012 1405z, typo "ВЕРАМИТИН" corrected to "ВЕРАМИТАН". Pip sent a message today (10.10.2012) at 1608z on 3756 kHz using a new format. All the previous messages Pip has sent have been either Для (Dlya) type propagation test messages or "real" messages with a 8С1Щ (8S1Shch) call sign. The new message is addressed to 3 call signs, two of them are familiar from the 80 call sign rotation pool that is used for the Для (Dlya) propagation test messages, and the remaining one is just on...

My buzzer archive is now online

18 September 2012

Hey guys. Today I spent 2 hours downloading files from my old archive, converting them to Ogg Vorbis and renaming them to match Priyom file naming scheme. The package contains recordings dating back to August 23, 2010 (NAIMINA message) to February 5, 2011, i.e. when I stopped working on it and a study page* in favour of Priyom, which was then a completely new site. It's a big file (71.2 MB), so I could not upload it here, but you can download it from RapidShare. I uploaded it solely for...

XPA2 transmitting noise ?

07 May 2012

On 4th of May 2012 i tuned to 16114 KHz at 1915 UTC, awaiting a XPA2 Sked, i listened to a week ago. Initially i was able to see and hear them tuning the transmitter. Sked was awaited at 1920 UTC. When the OP finished tuning to the highest power output, he keyed a test-tone. After the test-tone the following noise (see picture and audio) appeared until the sked starts. You can here the qsb on the noise and see, that it is nearly covering the USB Channel. The second sked, so far found, is 14...

The Buzzer Primer

25 March 2012

There's been a demand for up-to-date information on the UVB-76/UZB-76/Buzzer/S28. Current information available online is either false, out-of-date or just too scattered to make easily sense of, so I took it upon myself to write a little primer for Buzzer beginners and enthusiasts alike. In the Buzzer Primer I attempt to present the current facts, credible theories and discuss the common misconceptions (UVB-76 spelling, "Dead Hand" systems, etc) so we can finally get over them. So, presente...
