@@MUHAMMADFARHANNAUFALMahasiswaP thank you.

Excellent! I was surprised that I was able to hear it that well with just the telescopic.

Yes it was!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

Ok good to know, thank you.

@oz_dx I did that about a month ago and the results were good. Ill do that bext time as a revisit video to see it works. Maybe I'll compare signals with the wire and without. That may be interesting!

@oz_dx thank you. I am amazed at how good the far East comes into Florida in the morning.

@oz_dx thank you for the time and effort you take to provide the information!

Thank you.

You're welcome, my friend. That's all part of the short wave mystery finding new modes of communications, and seeing if we can find out what they're saying.Thanks again

I don't see it in the list of options. I see XPA(20 baud), XPA(10 baud), and XPA2. There are other modes, but not XPB. Next time I stumble across an XPB, I will give it a try. Maybe some other mode will work. Who knows?

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp thanks for the reply. I can receive and hear xpb transmission on a xhdata d109 ,no ssb on this radio , but I can't receive or hear xpa or xpa2 on this radio .

@icabobcrane8984 interesting. Does XPB not transmit in USB?

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp I don't know , I was surprised the first time I heard it .and I have listened to several times ( verified it ) . If you can listen to xpb in am mode could you do a video. Thank you

Yes if I can hear it I will make a video and see if it works.

@@jonathanpanlaqui1855 thank you!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp You're welcome 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

The wire was 80 feet and was oriented in a SE/NW direction. The performance wasn't too bad. But the noise level was higher, and the 3 ft MLA 30+ outperformed it. I wish I had a bigger piece of property so I could string up a longer piece of wire. At the termination point, I used only the wire and clipped it to the telescopic of my portables, no coax. So this may have accounted for the higher noise and lack of performance. Thanks for watching and commenting! More videos to come.

The kiwisdr is a web page that you can use any SDR on the page. You can go to the webpage, I believe that have some info on the software. I don't think can download it though.

It does sound like it!

@@KarlWitsman it comes on when the backlight comes on.

@@KarlWitsman I use an SDR as well, but I like spinning the dial as well.

I also use an SDR, and I love the visualizations, although I enjoy tuning the portables since its keeps the mystery alive of unknown signals.

@@39elden how's the reception?

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp the reception is good. It makes the signal a little stronger and reduces the noise.

@39elden ok thank you. Happy listening!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp TY

Well thank you! I am glad to help! Yes I do listen at home with my SDR and portables. I have some other videos showing some reception from various signals on both of these radios. The reception is good, but of course, there is more noise in my home environment. It is about S4 to S5 noise at home. But I still can hear a lot of signals.

They would both have the same rate of the time pips and announcements, but of course different content.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

You're welcome

One of the best things about the MLA30 is that it be rotated to find the spot when it nulls out the noise. I have both of mine oriented in a NE/SW direction. This seems to be the best direction for my setup.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp thanks 🙏

You're welcome

Indeed it is!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

You're welcome

That's a great idea!

Yes Radio Shack had the DX398 which was the sane radio. Thanks for the compliment, I am happy you find them helpful.

@@RJDA.Dakota thank you. They have some good programming. The signal comes in well to Florida in the morning.

It is a Japan Navy channel marker. It's nickname is the Japanese slot machine due to its sound. They say it resembles a slot machine sound when someone wins. The sound you hear is the signal "idle" mode. When it has actual data (digital) to send, the tone changes. I've never a voice transmission on the frequency before. There are three frequencies in the 8000kH band for this signal, 8313, 8588 and 8703 kHz. I can only hear them in Florida in the mornings between 1000-1200 UTC.

@MayanMe365 I would agree, and your welcome.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vpAnd it sounds better.

@@tomki6asp Sangean audio is better on shortwave I agree

Absolutely.

Video has been done. It is available now. Thank you.

Thank you. I am very happy with it.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp You're welcome 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

I can get it early mornings between 0600 - 0800est. It comes in better on 12362 & 12365 for me. You're in Florida too right? Have you tried taking your radio out to a park or other quiet environment? I often do that and can get it with just the telescopic.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp Yeah, I'm between Gainesville and Jacksonville, and no I haven't tried that actually. Not in a long time, anyways. I need to make some time to go do that, I'm sure it would be a lot more fun! 😎

This signal was from Turkey. Normally it broadcasts letters TAH in CW.

Excellent, I try that one too, thank you.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp 6365, not 6535, my bad 💀💀

In fact, the signal can also be heard @ 5365 kHz USB as well but some people suspect it might be just a pirate

I could only hear it on 8365kHz, I'll keep trying the other

Me too!

Ok, so you think I could hear it that loud, almost 20 over, in Florida where I am?

I heard it last night just after 0000 UTC on the same freq

heard again @ 5:23AM UTC 8/28

After looking at the comments between you and I, I am thinking this may not be a channel marker since it is not broadcasting all the time. When it starts tonight, I'm going to check some KiwiSDRs around the globe to see which one has the strongest signal. This may help in determining where it may be coming from.

I hear it on 8365 here in Florida at about an S7, I also tried various SDRs via Kiwi SDR in Europe and Russia. The strongest signal, just above an S9 was from Univ Of Twente SDR in The Netherlands.

i also use the twente sdr, found multiple frequencies with the same tone 4365, 6365, and 8365 kHz. the first two frequencies sound stronger, and all three were heard around the same time as before (didnt take down exact) def keep posted on what you find out (edit: youtube comments are buggy lol)

Ill check it tonight at 0000 UTC

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

I think this is maybe an NDB (Non-Directional Beacon)

@@beee-404 could be. I am monitoring the freq now, not hearing it at this time.

It is there now

@@RJDA.Dakota I guess whomever wants him to be heard has a lot of money to these broadcastors

Yes, Radio Marti is on 7335 from 1000-1200 (which is when I was listening), I normally use eibispace.de to validate what I am hearing. I also use shortwavedb.org and shortwave-info.com. Shortwavedb.org has a cool feature that uses Google Maps to show where the transmitter is located, along with some awesome pictures on the antennas they use.

Also, checkout my playlist "Band Scans" for all the band scan videos I have done thus far.

I am not aware of a chart, but all AM broadcasts for international broadcasts, such as BBC, Radio Romania China Radio Intl, all broadcast in AM. Utilities such as aeronautical stations, marine weather stations, channel markers, all transmit in USB. Amateur radio (HAM) in the lower HF band, 160, 80, 40 meter bands use USB for digital, LSB for voice. 30, 20, 17,15, and 10 meter bands use USB for everything. Here is a link for HAM frequencies: www.arrl.org/files/file/Regulatory/Band%20Chart/Band%20Chart%20-%2011X17%20Color.pdf Some other helpful links: www.dxing.com/tuning.htm www.dxinfocentre.com/ There is a ton on websites for shortwave radio. And RUclips has some excellent videos on this topic as well. Thank you for watching and commenting. Any other questions, feel free to email me or drop me a comment on a video you watch.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp I was noticing that when you got to 5.1 mHz you switched to USB from AM and I saw you do that again at 6.2 mHz. I wondered if there were a list of those break points where you turn USB on /off. I have the international broadcast band chart that shows the 60M band ending at 5.06 and the 49M band starting at 5.95M, so is the USB stuff in between those bands?

@TheTaxman45 there us some aeronautical utilities between those bands and some others as well. For example, RAF1 VOLMET in at 5450kHz and Shannon VOLMET is at 5505 kHz. Usually when you are scanning between the broadcast bands, you want to be in USB.

Yes, I use the HF Weather app on my Android tablet and phone to decode them. i also use the Morse Expert for CW, DroidNavtex for NAVTEX, DroidRTTY for RTTY, and FT8RX for FT8.

Thank you for the info. I'll send the QSL and let you know what happens

Do you recall what frequency it was?

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp I believe it was in the 8 MHz range, but i don’t know exactly.

Ok thank you. If I hear it on a different frequency I'll post in this comment thread.

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vpHeard it again. 8365 kHz, 0031 UTC. I suspect it starts transmission on 0030 UTC.

Ok thank you for checking.

I don't use it everyday, but I've gone at least 30 days with sporadic use and it was fine.

@57sw-DX1 truth!
