170 Meter Band

- This is a first in a series of videos that describe some interesting shortwave radio allocations and signals across the HF shortwave spectrum (see the update here - • 170 Meter Band - Some ... ). This video focuses specifically on the "170 meter" band or 1705 - 1800 khz (there isn't an official designation for 170 meters - but that frequency range is 176-166 meters). This is a highly unusual band that is difficult for most shortwave listeners either due to the limited frequency range of shortwave radios, remoted locations too distant from stations or limited antennas.
I've been listening to these guys for years and years now. These are mostly Russian pirates running lots of home brew transmitters. Most of the "AM"? operators are ruffly between 3000 khz and 3200 khz. Then there are the few that transmit anywhere from 1650 Khz or so to 1800 Khz . However I've heard a few between 2000 to 3000 Khz. These are the AM'ers. There is also a small stand-offish group on USB around 2950 to 2980 Khz. But they all seem to be using these frequencies like Americans use the 27 Mhz CB Band. They call each other all over Russia. It's really cool....sometimes you can catch someone playing and singing their own music ! I've hundreds of hours of recordings from these frequencies.
@@ronanzann4851 One of the other commenters mentioned it was an actual radio broadcast or pirate rebroadcast on 170m. I heard them again the other day on 1752khz Swedish SDR doing a music program. I don’t know if this is the same as what you’re mentioning which I’ve also heard on various bands. (I did hear one on 170m once). Thanks for the comment!!!
The 80 meter band is the 3 MHz range Frequencies
The regular AM radio is 500 khz to 1800 khz
The old old cordless phones from the 70s, they were around 1800 khz
Just above the AM band, and the phone used AM , not FM like the newer 80s phones that used the 46 / 49 MHz pairs or frequencies
If I remember correctly, the range from 1700 to 1900 khz was like the 900.mhz range was in the late 80s and the 2.4 GHz is now, where all sorts of companies used the range for remote control and walkie talkies
The 49 MHz was used for baby monitors and wireless mics and cordless phones and rf remote control for toys and remote control for TV and stereo system and other stuff
There were in house cordless intercoms that were on the 1800 khz and remote control toys and other stuff in the 70s
Those old cordless phones had a huge extendable Metal antenna that was about 6 feet and I remember I walked down the street to see how far away I could go and I got 1/2 mile and it was still able to get a dial tone with some static
I then took my CB 12 foot antenna on my car and hooked up the wire to the antenna and I could drive around and get a dial tone from anyone who had a cordless phone and it was crazy how far away I could be.
In places where I was above the town on a mountain, I could be 5 miles away at night and still connect to the base station using the CB antenna fully upright
10 meter used to be used by truckers going up 95 and 87 to Canada
You could get 50 miles with a 50 watt radio
But I didn't know there were shortwave radios that would transmit on the 1.7 MHz range
I know there are ones that go down to 500 khz for receiving but I didn't ever see one that could transmit below the 3 MHz
A shortwave radio is not cheap. Unless a company is making a cheap model that is crystals and they are channels like a CB, like the 70 MHz range CB and the 900 MHz CB channels that the UK and Japan have
I saw those used to be sold back in the 80s in Japan just like CB radios were sold in America
Back then the 900 band was still listed for TV UHF up to channel 99
And each country had their own rules about the bands and UK let 70 MHz be used for CB and Japan let 900 MHz be used
I think the bands were reallocated and those radios are not legal to be used any more
But I would really like to see a 1.7 - 1.8 MHz radio and how it works and how far it will reach
@@ocsrc Yeah, that's pretty interesting. There are a number of portable shortwave receivers that can tune continuous 100 khz to 30 mhz and include 1.7-1.8 mhz like the XHDATA D-109 or the Tecsun PL-880. Of course, you get what you pay for - higher price generally gets you a better receiver. In the US the FCC does not allow transmissions in that band unless you live in Alaska or have specific maritime service requirements for communications.
Yes.....I'm QUITE aware of allocations of the EM spectrum in the United States. I have no idea what they are in Europe. However these people either have licensees to operate there, or they just don't care ! They have been using these frequencies for decades. As I said in my original post, the band between 3000 Khz and 3200 Khz is being used extensively by what appears to be Russian speaking people from the little Russian that I do know. This is the AM group. Most of the transmitters would seem to be "home brew"(they built them themselves). There are a few SSB operators once in a while below 3 Mhz down to 2950 Khz or so. You will also find a few AM's between 1650 and 1800 Khz. I don't know the distance from Moscow to Istanbul, but I have heard and recorded QSO's between those locations often ! 73's DE WA7NRC..........and no, you won't find me in any new callbooks. I lost interest in radio for a while back around 1968 or '69 and just let my license expire.
@@ronanzann4851 thanks for the info!!!
10:40 It doesn't sound like a conversation, more like a news report or even just a russian news channel being streamed to that frequency. They are talking about fighting informational propaganda against Russia and how Russia is already rebuilding the cities of Luhansk People's Republic, Donetsk People's Republic and Mariupol
Interesting! Thanks for the translation!! Odd that it’s on 1751.5 khz. Maybe a harmonic of MW?
@@shortwavelistener After doing some research on that. Only found out that 1751.7 kHz (they switch it occasionally when channel is not occupied) is the actual frequency and they just streaming РОССИЯ24 (russian news channel) from somewhere in the middle-western Russia. Probably just a news radiostation as there are no say who they are or why they do it.
@@4efrim Thanks for doing the research - I’ll look into that as well!
@@4efrim They are broadcasting now at 22:45 UTC today (Aug-9-24) on 1752.3 - definitely Russian conversation and music (picked up on Swedish and Finnish SDRs)
@@shortwavelistener I would check, but unfortunately I don't have the equipment to do so. But I suppose there could be a talk show or a music video broadcasting
I am definitely looking forward to your coverage of the 49 meter band. I love shortwave pirates.
We'll get there!
Nice and interesting really enjoyed the new SWL stations. Glad there is still some still there
Yes, russian pirates often use 1.7-1.8 with AM and USB. On 11:00 they rebroadcast political record from radio, it also very often happens on SATCOM
I also hear on 1.8 mhz one norwegian coastal station
Cool thank you for the video. I will start to scan the 1710 frequency.
@@ottomanfred2473 Great! If you’re in the US then your best bets will be on either coast or in the car at night. Otherwise a very long beverage or wide G5RV (200 ft+) antenna is probably needed for a home station.
Good Day. Love your videos. Very interesting and educational. Thank You & Best Regards.

@@DXPedro Thank you for the kind comment! I do want to have a follow-up on some additional signals and some techniques to try with longer external antennas!

Have a great eeek 😎🔥📻📻
New Jersey Turnpike AM 1710 was logged in Eastern Europe under great band conditions.
That's great! I keep wondering if I can get a directional antenna here in the upper midwest to pick them up when conditions are just right! Highly unlikely - but, worth a try!
@@shortwavelistener AM 1610 kHz is clear here in Phoenix, AZ. Waiting to hear current TIS/HAR this winter when band is quieter.
@@aqdrobert 1610 khz or 1710 khz?
@@shortwavelistener Both!
Used to be nbfm short range phones on 1780kHz in UK years back.
2024: Great stuff: On the highways in the Midwest I often hear nothing (locally) when seeing those advisories for AM info stations, thinking that they've discontinued the service simply because many drivers no longer listen to AM. With that, I will be deep tuning these frequencies with my longwire at home.
There is a quite a lot more going on in the 170m band in Europe, usually after dark. There are powerful and not so powerful stations all along the coastlines of Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France and Spain. There are several stations in England, Scotland and Ireland too. All of these stations give regular updates for mariners. I'm in London, England, currently using an 8m vertical antenna and an Airspy SDR, and I've got more than 40 logs between the 1641 kHz for Torshavn Radio in the Faeroe Islands up to some within the Amateur Band itself, including Falmouth Coastguard on 1883 kHz and Humber Coastguard on 1925 kHz. Occasionally, some of the many maritime stations in Italy come through, such as Cittavechia on 1888 and Livorno, also on 1925 kHz. These Italian stations are centrally managed from Rome, with transmitters all around the coast, mostly sandwiched between the many Stanag signals between 2500 and 2900 kHz. It's nice to see you going into depth on these lesser known frequencies.
I have an interesting observation about this band. In Europe, I occasionally pick up NDBs. (Non-Directional beacons) I'm sure you must know about these. They are gradually dying out, more quickly in North America and Canada I believe. Usually they are two or three letter morse code, designed to guide small aircraft. They normally occur between 270 and 520 kHz. However, they also show up in the 170m band. As you may know, there are many oil rig platforms in the North Sea and many support vessels for the platforms. More importantly, there are a lot of helicopters moving around between platforms, support vessels and the shore. The NDBs are not switched on permanently, as they are for most airports, but switched on only when flights are expected. I imagine with the many platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, there may well be a similar situation.
Very interesting information! I used to listen to all the LW beacons under 530 khz as a kid on my old Hallicrafters radio. You're right - they're mostly gone now. I'd be interested in what frequency that beacons on 170m show up! I wasn't able to find any when I was making the video.
I have been able to receive the wqfg689 station from time to time north of the border in Southern Ontario.
That's pretty amazing for 1710 khz and their low power!
I have heard the east coast 1710 kHz station you referenced (from here in Virginia)
In Australia 1620 to 1710khz is our narrowcasting allocation, theres a pretty diverse assortment of ethnic radio stations on there as well as information stations. I've played around on there with transmitters that are ahem.. definitely not part 15 😅
Is there a Part 15-like requirement in Australia like the US restricting power?
@@shortwavelistener It's stricter than your part 15 haha. I'm going to have a play on there again. I've already wound a large tapped loading coil on a 5 inch diameter PVC pipe, out of insulated wire taken from a 15A extension cord. I have a half wave vertical for the 11m band. I'll use that as the top section loaded by the coil.
I'll feed it against the corrugated iron roof of my shed as the ground.
I'll play around with 100mW and use a tuned loop antenna on the RX, see how far I can get
I've listened to these stations on Australian SDRs online and figured those ethnic stations were coming from the Philippines or somewhere lol
@@inter_1097 Yep, they're definitely just ethnic groups setting up radio stations to serve their demographic.
One that comes to mind is Rete Italia, it transmits from several locations around the country, I think mostly on 1629khz.
There's one near mount Gambier SA, I've seen the antenna. "Tee" vertical probably 70 feet high with an ATU at the bottom.
I estimate it runs less than 500W
@@inter_1097 Maybe some are! I tried AUS and NZ web SDRs and didn't hear anything on 170m. But, I just may have missed them - and, I didn't scan under 1710 khz.

This band as far as I know is called "Boy scoutt's band" in Russia since homebrew transmitters for this band are easy to build even by the begginers
Interesting!! I’ll search for some links to that!!
@@shortwavelistener And this band might still be used by Russian unlicensed radio amateurs. Polish youtuber Marcin Marciniak made a video on that topic.

@@mikemcdonald5147 Thx! I had a lot going on in my life with very little free time - things finally settled down at the beginning of the year.
There's a 24 hour low power emergency information radio in my neighborhood on 1670 AM. I can also hear (along with other Ham Radio stations) some sort of beacon on 1900. I sounds as if it's repeating E in Morse code (a single dit). Some Hams think this is coming from the East Coast, near NJ.
@@terryjwood Wow - odd that it’s on 1670 - where is it (generally) and what kind of info do they broadcast? I would think 1670 would be overrun by AM DX in the evening (if you’re in the US).
PS - I will be covering 1800-2000 khz in an upcoming video but I’m going to do very odd bands first. So stay tuned!!
@@shortwavelistener It's in Etna, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh transmitting from the fire hall.
It's a low power station that plays a loop telling you to tune into 1670 in case of emergency.
They claim to have a range of 40 square miles. I'm about 5 miles from the station and can hear them because I'm using a Yaesu FT991A and a 66 ft end fed antenna.
Thanks for this video
Nice work.
@@myronquick8312 Thanks!
Years ago around these frequencies are home wireless phone channels
Home phones used much higher frequencies. 400+ mhz was used for phones and baby monitors.
@@Robbie-sk6vccordless phones were duplex split on 49 MHz and around 1.6 1.7 MHz if my memory serves me correct. This was before the DECT standard was introduced during the late 1990s
@@discobiscuit3134 1.6 ghz you mean! But yes I get the meaning. 1.6 mhz is towards the top of the AM broadcast band.
@@Robbie-sk6vc No actually 1.6 -1.7 MHz in the early ones (70’s). The base would transmit to the handset on the low band. You could listen easily on an AM radio
@@coreycampbell1689 Exactly. I remember an afternoon in the mid-1980s when I came across a telephone signal around 1.7 MHz or 1700 kHz - a cordless phone obviously belonging to a doctor on some kind of hotline duty. People calling about probs they had with their medications. Of course, these cordless phones were totally illegal around here.
Shango066 uses one of these informational radio stations to work on AM radios in the Los Angeles area. I believe that station repeats "This is a test. This is only a test."
@@Wageslave645 Is it still active?
@@shortwavelistener Apparently it goes on and off, last I heard it went off the air in like April or so but I am not within range of it so you would have to use WebSDR to check.
With the AM broadcast band ending at 1605 kHz in Europe and some countries being somewhat more lenient about pirate stations, there's a lot of activity between 1610 and 1750 kHz, especially on weekend nights, mostly from the Netherlands and from former Yugoslavia.
Thanks for the info! Do these stations use identifiers like station callsigns or some form of signature tag line to try and be legit? Or, are these truly just pirates like we see in the US on 6800-7000 khz?
@@shortwavelistener They are pirates and they use phantasy names or handles.
@@shortwavelistener As far as I know the use of broadcast call signs is primarily a US thing, in Europe they aren't a common thing.
@@ehsnils Exactly. European broadcast stations identify with their station names, mostly Radio Someplaceorother.

Instant sub
Alaska Fixed is simply the frequency can be used by base to base transceivers. Two entities can have radios and towers and communicate. Whereas Mobile means it is allocated for Base to Mobile and Mobile to Mobile comms. (Business and municipalities.)
Thank you! I did find another reference in my most recent update video talking about this. I don't think anyone in AK is using the 3 APF (Alaska Public Fixed) 170m frequencies anymore - but, I could be wrong.

11:24 It is retranslation of "Vesti-FM" or "Radio Russia". Putin speech at first, then story told about the restoration of Mariupol.
I just learned there are Russian railroad dispatch people who operate on the 2100khz band using FM. FM on medium wave! Or is 2100khz considered shortwave? Anyway I love this content and I've always had a romantic feeling for the low bands for some reason

The God sees and remembers everything then there will be the Judgment.
"So, you're stating that you ain't prostitute, but the faithful wife of anonymous trinity of the Husband? I'm so sorry about that unfortunate misunderstanding, ma'am..."
Here is Christ's question,
Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and ye shall be taken away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts." (ASV)
A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker, and so forth. Some women in a Husband-fearing way call him "H-D"...
But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only". Their prostitution has created another women saying "there is no Husband at all".
Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place".
In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods.
Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now. This is the “loyalty” of traitors!
Here is the God's word spoken through Moses,
Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap.
Names of an idols/false gods are well known: Zeus, Rempha/Chiun, Aurora, Baal, Moloch and many others.
"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
"HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (KJV)
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is liar and murderer. This is the reason why liars feel so good while righteous people are persecuted.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Very nice and informative
Thanks!

Add the numbers, do they add up to 9 khz ( tuning steps in Europe and Asia). 522-1710 khz in Australia and possibly in the Philippines.
1609 khz is the highest I've seen for Europe and Asia MW. I think anything over 1635 khz is either navigation, pirate or encoded messaging. Not sure about Australia - but, anything over 1700 khz is probably the same.
Some the Chinese made radios are made for worldwide acceptance 522 to 1710, with 9 and 10 khz steps. Australia uses 1611 to 1701 khz for low power or special stations, usually 500 to 5000 watts. And you're right about pirate radio stations, such as in Netherlands and Greece. Actually, Vatican Radio once used 1611 khz, including in DRM ( though most of VR's MW and FM closed years ago).

is 320 meter still a ham band. I have heard ( and we know all rumors are true) that the 640 m band is no loner used for LORAN navigation.
@@pyreneesfarm7818 I don’t think there was 320 meter band - that would be right in the middle of the AM broadcast band. There is an amateur 630 meter band that covers 472-479 khz.
@@shortwavelistener Is that the one with a 5watt maximum? for Amateur use.
Much of my information about the ELF ands is from a long while back, but I was curious
@@pyreneesfarm7818 yes
europe is a complete disaster on these bands , all of the AM stations are gone , the cheap Solar inverters are hell in daytime , even with diversity receivers..I use to rely on the harmonic resonance of my wire , those days are gone.
@@patrickdemeyer2210 Yeah, it’s sad to see the decline. Now Tesla is pushing in the US to no longer require MW/AM in their cars. Others will probably follow.
@@shortwavelistener What has become of the proposed AM Radio For Every Vehicle Act in the U.S.?

Screened loop. Might be ok🙂
SUB. let’s get this guy to 1000

It's metre, not meter. A meter is a device used for measuring. The unit of measurement is called a metre. They're different words with different meanings, just like to and too are different words.
@@jublywubly Interesting point. True in terms of technical writing outside the US but not in the US - “meter” is equivalent for both the device and UOM in even technical works (if the audience is in the US). From the BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures) however, metre should be used. I think in both shortwave and amateur radio “meter” is typically used even internationally. But, my myopic experience in the US might not be correct! Thx for the comment! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
In the U.S, it's "meter." I've NEVER read the word "metre," either for wavelengths, or general measurements, in any American document. Incidentally, when I type "metre," my spell-checker underlines it in red, indicating it's misspelled.
The spelling is "meter" in American English and "metre" in British English. For example, "The length of the room is ten meters" in the US, and "The length of the room is ten metres" in the UK.
I'm an electrical engineer and I've never seen any American document or technical paper use "metres".
In no way shape or form is it metre in the United States.😊
I have receivers from 1kHz to 23GHz, and a QTH away from QRM. This channel is not for me.
Why not?
This is a great sleeping pill
