For decades the numbers station known as UVB-76 has emitted an enigmatic series of beeps and a voice reading numbers and names, in what people suspect is a long running communications method for Russian intelligence. Since the broadcast is public, pirates are able to use their software-defined radio (SDR) transmitters to effectively flood the frequencies with noise and memes. The recent barrage of attacks on the station come as Russia prepares to invade neighbouring Ukraine, where radio enthusiasts speculate at least some of the pirate broadcasts originate.

Januar 2022 eine Kampagne bei GoFundMe gestartet, um mit 2000 Euro Spenden-Budget eine weitere Andorra- Sondersendung zu finanzieren. Bei ausreichender Finanzierung soll sie am 5. Febr 2022, 1900-2100 Uhr UT, ueber den oesterreichischen Kurzwellensender Moosbrunn (100 kW) und den franzoesischen Mittelwellensender Roumoules (1 MW) ausgestrahlt werden. (Spendenergebnis und in der Folge Sendedetails stehen naturgemaess erst nach dem Redaktionsschluss des ADDX Radio-Kuriers Februar am 17. Januar zur Verfuegung). 'Radio-Andorra: Stars uebernehmen das Mikrofon der Moderatoren', so titelte die franzoesische Presse im Juni 1979. Ab dem 1. Juli gestalten Groessen wie Dalia, Serge Gainsbourg oder Eddy Mitchell das Programm. Die erste Sendung dieser Sommerreihe kommt jetzt erneut ins Radio. Gestaltet wurde sie seinerzeit vom Chansonnier Daniel Balavoine. Anlaesslich seines 70sten Geburtstages am 5. Februar 2022 wurde die Sendung aus den Archiven von Radio Andorra geholt und tontechnisch komplett restauriert. Die 2-stuendige Show ist ein wertvolles Zeit- dokument, denn Daniel Balavoine ist bereits 1986 bei einem Helikopter- absturz ums Leben gekommen. 'Das besondere an der Sendung ist, dass Daniel Balavoine sie komplett eigens gestaltet hat, also es ist kein klassisches Interview', erzaehlt Rundfunktechniker Christian Milling, der die Sendung restauriert hat. Gefunden wurde die Sendung im historischen Erbe der Radiostation des Fuerstentums Andorra, die 1981 ihren Sendebetrieb aufgeben musste. Die Kassetten und Baender lagerten ueber 30 Jahre unter teils prekaeren Umstaenden in einem Lager, bis sie schliesslich vom Nationalarchiv Andorra uebernommen wurden und denkmalpflegerisch konserviert werden.

The station is not on the air every day at this time at this frequency, plus all the same problems with modulation of the signal on the transmitter. It was not even possible to make out the language of the program (and through web receivers too), which he honestly indicated in the report on the reception. Somehow you can identify only the non- verbal part of the content - the performance of the anthem (?), short losses, Arabic music.

In the old part of the city, the construction of modern houses is strictly prohibited, so it has survived to this day in fact in its original form. They also sent the full VOT schedule for the current B21 season. Dispatched from Ankara on January 7, received on January 24, 2022. Blog: http://qsl-review.blogspot.com/2017/06/voice-of-turkey-tur-date-february-27.html (KB) USA / Germany ----------------------- Cap'n Ric sent two e-QSLs at once for one report about the reception of TRSW via Channel 292 / 9670 kHz / 15.15- 16.00 UTC / 22 Jan 2022. A program was broadcast dedicated to the memory of the famous German pirate Dr. Tim, who passed away at the end of last year . Despite the very poor reception quality of this test (?) broadcast, we managed to identify several songs and some of the content. A detailed reception report was sent 10 hours after the end of the broadcast, the answer came in less than 2 hours: "Thanks for your report. You heard our tribute to German radio pirate Dr.Tim. We've attached your special eQSL. We've also attached another eQSL for hearing the program during our test transmission on 9670 kHz" Cap'n Ric also sent an updated TRSW - 2022 Master Program Schedule / can be downloaded from https://drive.google.com/file/d/18jwqKDiMN-4JTF6zEqRblwwXhCioTkdX/view?usp=sharing . But, you need to keep in mind that changes or discrepancies with the schedule of Channel 292 programs are possible (I did not check with WRMI). So, for example, yesterday (Jan 22) the second TRSW broadcast at 9670 kHz at 22.00-23.00 UTC is indicated in the Channel 292 schedule, but it is not in the schedule of TRSW itself. Apparently, Channel 292 added this program to the air at their discretion. As a result, in my opinion, the transmitter in Rohrbach Waal was turned off at all at the indicated time (I checked at the end of the hour through web receivers in Europe and North America).

GERMANY [probably] Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty on 3975 kHz ? I'm unable to receive this direct at my location in Central Florida, but upon checking the University Enschede-Twente WebSDR I am hearing (as of 0745 UTC) on 3975 kHz a repeating loop with the identification of "This is Radio Free Europe. Radio Liberty. Praha". It is continuous and is being received on that WebSDR with an S9 - S=9+10dB signal. Is this related to the situation in Ukraine? Perhaps this frequency is worth monitoring, I'm not sure what the transmitter site for this specific broadcast is and if it has any relation to the low power shortwave station in Germany that also uses 3975 kHz. Just a heads up! (John, wor Jan 27) Re: Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty on 3975 kHz ? Almost certainly a test from the USAGM site in Biblis, Germany (100 kW), which is the only one which has an antenna capable of operating on the 3.9 MHz / 75 meterband. Must be in preparation for any possible armed conflict in Ukraine and the likely disruption of RFE/RL online services. It's the same old story - if the Internet is blocked, fire up the short waves to get the message through.

In March these programs will be joined by several new ones from around the world. The first week's tests will run from February 1-5 from 6-8pm EST (2300-0100 UTC). Each following week will run an hour later to determine optimum transmission times. An eQSL will be available for reception reports sent to 4790info@gmail.com Watch these pages for weekly updates.
