Received a strange message in Spanish on 251.275 MHz coming from an unknown satellite in the CONUS slot.

I was told by henrygb on RadioReference.com forums that the message says:

Hi, I’m Julio Domingo , I want to share good news for Argentina, I want to report that the Chamber of Deputies of the nation which I reside approved local law sovereign payments sent by President Cristina Fernandez of Kitchner.

I guess we’ll mark this one in the oddball column of the log.

LOL! Some guy just let out a “Dirka Dirka” to the Brazilian satcom pirates on 262.125 MHz.

Chanters Revisited

Those odd chanting stations were monitored late this afternoon on 26225 kHz USB. Usually a bunch of stations join in and chant some word over and over for about 10-20 seconds. Quite similar to the odd activity that is often heard on 7000 kHz LSB and 11425 kHz USB. It is suspected that the comms on 7000 and 11425 may originate from Indonesia. However the activity on 26225 kHz activity remains a mystery for now.

Oddity on 262.275

Strange activity on 262.275 (Pacific Ocean Region) with a male in unknown language. He even tops it off with an evil sounding laugh.

6990 USB on May 17th around 0300Z with looped message: “She had your dark suit in greasy wash water all year. Don’t ask me to carry an oily rag like that. They used an aggressive policeman to flag thoughtless motorists.”

Say what? That is exactly what a lot of folks were asking. After several emails to UDXF and other sources we are told the following.

“It’s an experiment for what’s basically an automated COMINT collection & analysis system that does speech & lexicon recognition — converts the analog to digital & then automatically looks at the waveform to compare it to cataloged targets.”

Here is a recording of the transmission taken from a Perseus remote in Florida.

Mark one for the strange column. Heard a baby crying on 260.625. One of the Brazilian satcom pirates must have forgot to secure their radio gear. Either that, or they start out at such a young age, hi hi.

Caught this earlier today right on the bottom edge of 40 meters. Not sure how to explain this one better, other than listening to the clip. Talk about creepy!

The Chinese oddity station is back. Token reported a couple days ago that the station was on 6326 in USB mode. It’s the same Chinese oddity station that was monitored last week on 5449. So far it’s been noted at the following times: 0900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700 UTC. From the west coast the best shot of hearing this is usually during the 1100 and 1300 transmissions.

See the thread on the RadioReference forums for additional information.
