This is my first attempt at a promotional song for VOSR. There are definitely a couple of mistakes. Although I own, and play a lap steel guitar, I am not well versed on Hawaiian Music, so it sounds more "country" than Hawaiian.

Those times when you cannot sleep and you hope to catch something on the shortwaves.

This transmission has been prominent this spring in the 43 Meter shortwave band. I've pinpointed the Russian RTTY Signal to the mountainous region just north of the country Georgia, in the highlands of Russia.

Here is a comic strip that I produced. It's roughly in the style of Robert Crumb, the artist and musician. Here is a link to some of Robert's music: https://youtu.be/d\_HoE6qH980?si=KvP\_jTOlaf2gDsVm

Darkness has fallen on the transmitter site - and with darkness comes the ability to triangulate its position to a finer degree. It definitely appears to be in Russia. It's just north of the border with Georgia to the south.

There's not nearly as much to listen to nowadays, compared to past years. A visual depiction with Robert Crumb characters, from the AM Broadcast Band through 29 MHz.

Robert Crumb is an artist and musician who first came to attention in the late 1960s with his underground Comix. Follow this link to his music: https://youtu.be/LTYiSIYl6dI?feature=shared.

Well, Chris, u/Green_Oblivion111 just might be correct on his assumption that it's coming from Crimea! I DF'ed them to the Iraq or Turkey area. This is one powerful station! Here in the Pacific NW we pick them up from across the globe at their local sundown.

I tuned in to KIWI SDRs across the globe, moving east from my location in Portland, Oregon. The RTTY Signals became stronger and peaked at Baghdad, Iraq. From there I moved Northeast to Central Russia - and the signal dropped!

Jammer is on Bandaid's frequency even after sign off.

Bandaid will try to go on Friday Night sometime after 0330 UTC, between 6930 and 6970 KHz. We will see if the jammer shows up!

One of our members, Gerald, u/Tenor-Guitar-Guy, scored a Sony CRF-5100 recently. Here is some information on the radio.

I didn't post another full recording - it's identical to last night.

I noticed these oddball CW signals in the 43 Meter band last night. The CW is mostly gibberish. It sounds like the person sending it only knows about 10 characters. I can't copy Morse at 40 WPM anymore, but I can copy it and am able to recognize it if it's even a whisper. I learned before narrow audio filters were available, and even at in my old age my brain seems to still be working.

What is really weird is the signals are exact duplicates. This isn't easy to do. I have multiple transmitters, but i would need another antenna to transmit and some way to auto-key. This went on for hours, so it is not some Ninnyhammer playing with Dad's Straight Key. I checked across the country using Kiwi SDRs and it was audible across N. America. The Military - MARS, and the government has the ability to do this. It's possible - Bandaid Radio was jammed by what sounded like a MARS, or government station the last time they were on the air.
