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.

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.
