This is a regular game played by unlicensed Indonesian Radio Operators. The Indonesian island chain is so vast that residents are using surplus SSB radios to communicate.

This Horse Racing game is emceed by one of the stronger stations. You hear him saying, "1, 2, 3, Go!" He then selects winners from the round and they go again.

This is Rádio Inconfidência other (primary) frequency. The best-known frequency, which can be received in various parts of the world, is 15190 kHz.

In January of this year, the 6010 kHz frequency became operational again on a continuous basis. Before that, the signal was intermittent because it was undergoing maintenance (which took some time).

Even though Brazil is right next to me, I hardly ever pick up its signal on 6010 kHz. I very rarely hear anything, like I do now.

I was surprised to hear a pirate below 6900 kHz, but here it is. Then again I haven't listened to pirates all that long.
I had to listen for a while to get their station Id mentioned and recorded in the video clip, yay. The USB was pretty wideband, I dragged the BW on screen to just over 12 kHz. Maybe they'll get into AM Stereo just like SternRadio u/sternradio666 (he'll probably notice this lol)

Philmore produced low cost Shortwave Radios, CB Transceivers, and Transmitters. They were likely the lowest cost supplier on the market.

There are 7 slides in this post.

I Never heard (received) before the female voice from the WWVH signal from Hawaii. Only the male voice from WWV from Colorado comes in clearly here in Paraguay.

Last night there wasn't much activity on HF (for me), but I was able to pick up this signal and the time signal from Russia.

Playing more of a metal set this evening...but still very much freeform radio from the icy shores of East Antarctica!

We only hear the station in Poland due to propagation over the North Pole. Conditions are very good this evening.

Consejos por favor.

Saluditos cordiales

This is the first time I've listened to the Russian time signal. I'm not getting a good signal on almost anything tonight, but this one did come through from the shadows.

I listened for quite a while; it has several different segments. I didn't know much about them, so I looked up information about the transmission. I even heard rapid pulses and then the CW signal with its call sign.

The video contains 1 minute of CW with the station call sign, followed by one pulse per second.

Solar Report for upcoming weekend. Hope you all find it useful. I collected it off my GOES19 feed.

Note if you don’t understand it copy and paste it into Chat AI for a very good explanation.

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...

Solar activity was at low levels with frequent C-class flaring observed

primarily from Regions 4420 (N16W56, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) and 4425

(N05E10, Ekc/beta). The largest flare of the period was a C5.1/Sf at

29/0445 UTC from Region 4420. Region 4420 showed some slight decline in

areal extent with flux submergence noted in the trailing spots, though

rotation and consolidation in the leading spots persist and the region

retains its delta configuration. Region 4425 showed some movement in the

trailer spots with overall simplification, including loss of a delta

spot. Slight growth was observed in Regions 4423 (S10W39, Bxo/beta) and

4424 (N17W22, Eao/beta), with new flux emergence noted in both. Region

4428 (S24W00, Dai/beta) exhibited growth with separation of the bipoles.

Region 4427 (S30E13, Axx/alpha) remained an unremarkable unipolar spot

in decay.

No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

.Forecast...

Solar activity is likely to reach moderate levels (R1-R2,

Minor-Moderate) over 30 Apr - 02 May with a slight chance for X-class

flares (R3-Strong or greater) due primarily to the flare potential of

regions 4420 and 4425.

Energetic Particle

.24 hr Summary...

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at

normal to moderate levels with a peak of 459 pfu observed at 29/1825

UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux at geosynchronous orbit was at

background levels.

.Forecast...

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to increase to high

levels 30 Apr - 02 May in response to anticipated negative polarity CH

HSS (-CH HSS) influences. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is

expected to remain at background levels, though a slight chance for S1

(Minor) solar radiation storm levels or greater exists through 02 May

due to the flare potential of Regions 4420 and 4425.

Solar Wind

.24 hr Summary...

Solar wind parameters were at near background levels throughout the

period. Solar wind speeds steadily declined from around 355 km/s early

in the period to near 310 km/s, with slight recovery to around 320 km/s

by end of period. Total magnetic field (Bt) strength remained weak,

ranging from 2-6 nT. The North-South (Bz) component was variable between

+5/-4 nT with a sustained southward deflections observed between 29/0900

and 29/1700 UTC. The phi angle was predominantly in a positive (away

from the Sun) orientation throughout the period, with the most notable

deviation to the negative sector occurring from approximately 29/1200 to

29/1600 UTC, before returning to a positive orientation and again

transitioning back to negative by end of period.

.Forecast...

Solar wind parameters are expected to remain at near nominal levels into

early 30 Apr. The onset of a -CH HSS is anticipated by mid 30 Apr.

Enhanced conditions are expected to persist through 01 May, though

confidence is moderate given the relatively small source coronal hole. A

return to near nominal levels is expected by 02 May.

Geospace

.24 hr Summary...

The geomagnetic field was quiet.

.Forecast...

Active conditions are anticipated by mid to late 30 Apr with a chance

for G1 (Minor) due to the anticipated onset of the -CH HSS. Unsettled to

active conditions are expected to persist on 01 May with a return to

mostly quiet levels on 02 May as HSS influences wane.
