Logs 16-Mar-2023

Quick note: 3/16 logs were done with an SDRplay RSPduo that I just picked up. So far so good, and I am really liking the diversity mode feature to help with some of my local RFI issues 🙂

6816.5 USB 0212Z: MARS net with AAR9WF taking check-ins from 9KV, 9CT and 9CM.  

9310 USB 0511Z: Continuous playing loop of the “State Anthem of the Russian Federation” by Гимн России. This is said to be a Russian military channel marker or beacon. I logged similar activity the other morning on 3/10 with a repeating loop of “The Red Army Is the Strongest” by Alexandrov Ensemble. At that time, it was believed to be coming from the far east of Russia due to the time of day and strong signal here in California. However, this time around, I feel like the signal could be coming from another part of Russia based on propagation favoring Europe. The station faded quickly after 0530Z, which would make sense propagation-wise due to sunrise in that part of the world.  

13215 USB 0114Z: Lajes (barely heard) calling Andrews.
