Translation of message in russian as follows: "[this is] Moscow speaking. [we are] Transmitting an important government message. Citizens(m) and citizens(f) of the Soviet Union! Our cause is just! Enemy will be defeated! The victory is ours to claim!" repeated three times. Appears to be an old recording of the voice of Yuri Levitan or some other famous soviet radio announcer. Then there seems to be a parody of that message, with "Moscow" replaced with "moskal" - a mild national slur used mostly by ukrainians. I can't decipher the high pitched portion between unaltered and this version though, as well as following announcement in ukrainian. Back in summer of 2022 this frequency had WAY harsher transmissions full of slurs and hate speech. Also, there are a lot of bickering radio pirates seemingly form both side of the border in LSB on some frequencies nearby.
I kept wondering, "Is he saying, 'Moscow?'" (Between all the Incantations) I didn't realize the word was butchered. When I hear that deep and ridiculously dramatic voice, of course having no idea what is being said, I envision an old fashioned magician saying magic words over a prop.
" Appears to be an old recording of the voice of Yuri Levitan or some other famous soviet radio announcer." Sounds like the announcer who broadcast to the USSR and the world that Yuri Gagarin had successfully made it into orbit.
Old Russian joke: In the event of an American nuclear attack, put a sheet over your head and walk slowly to the graveyard. Why slowly? To avoid a panic.
That's really interesting - I need to get a shortwave radio. When I was a kid i used to borrow my uncle's shortwave radio to tune into Radio Moscow. Also I liked to just search around randomly, I was always amazed at the weird sounds that came over that radio!

I wonder how much the Russians depend off HF broadcast vs satcom... I'll find that out at the bar at work one of these days 😅. HF (3Mhz to 30 Mhz) is still used by the west but mostly as a concurrent backup in the event of a satcom denied environment (Russians are pretty swift at jamming satcom, but in doing so also would jam themselves out also).

The buzzing sound on 5782 khz has been heard since December of last year, I’ve seen it on the bands for a long time, it’s mostly seen where the Squeaky Wheel’s second frequency used to be, it’s been going on and off for the past 12 months.
Thank you for the great video. I recognised 26.865 khz or 26.685 Khz in one those transmission patterns, possibly suggesting the contact channel. Wishing you and your family future success and good health and respect and good listening in 2025.

Thanks for the video…although as the events of the last two weeks have shown, any “Unbreakable communications “ can be subverted by a crafty spy agency or the 3 letter government operators that both our countries have…😂! I would love to see the supercomputers and operators hard at work…breaking the codes, just like pre-WWII ones. 73! Have a great day!
I sent a video to your good self over X earlier this week of the final part of the video because I’d never heard anything like that before especially the fast looping and use of both adult and child voices not to mention the switching of frequencies so rapidly
6:00 At the beginning, you can hear the voice of Yuri Livetan, a Soviet radio announcer during the WW2. This is a fragment from the announcement of Germany's attack on the USSR and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. (In fact, this recording was recreated after the end of the war, since the original recording from 1941 is missing). He says, "Attention, this is Moscow speaking! We are transmitting an important government message! Citizens of the Soviet Union! The enemy will be defeated, we will achieve victory!" 6:50 The message changes - instead of "Moscow speaking" it is now "Moskal speaking". The word Moskal can be perceived in different ways, often it is used by Ukrainians to call Russians in a negative context. Kind of like the N-word in English. 7:30 A fragment of Zelensky's speech, where he promises to soon conquer several cities, as well as restore electricity and heating.
The channel market / propagation tests are perhaps the most interesting in a sense for Russian stations. What I had heard is that they use "friendly" (ie, sleeper type agents) who have basic simple receiving equipment in various places around the world. They don't even know that it is they really have. They just plug it into their internet connection and it's all good. The boxes don't send signals back directly to Russia, but instead are automatically sending signal reports of sorts to third parties, who are then putting them together and boxing them up to be communicated back to Russia itself. It makes it possible to send traffic only when your intended target is in reception. The people doing the monitoring have actually no clue, it's just a box that sits there and does whatever. They don't have any idea, so they can't really divulge anything. Probably looks like a computer or a router or perhaps an IPTV box or what have you. You can imagine with a lot of data mining they can send messages very reliably to agents all over the world.
Thanks to K3LWIN, for the translation, I remember finding an old plastic speaker box with a pair of wires poking out, in my ex wife's apartment, she is ex because she was violent beyond comprehension, used to beat her daughter up with a coat hangar , and left me bleeding around the throat from a strangulation attempt, anyhow, I found two wires poking out of the wall that gave quite a shock, but when connected, out came a similar classic voice, that sounds like today's Radio Myak. Its classic Russian that I think most Russians don't want to hear today. Its a bit like the classic Russian poem, "Wait for me", that now means every day hundreds of Russians are getting toe tags and won't be returning, not even their corpses.
I'm flemish belgian so Dutch is my mother language andI thinks it's "blikken tieten op "with "tieten" meaning womens brests, boobies in a kind of way they're showing it.
The fact that you can see a clear skull and bones spectrogram is very interesting to me as an amateur radio operator and listener working on radio communication for russian and American military operations.
Ukrainian text translation is: "Dear Ukrainians, I am promising to you that in just five years we'll capture Sudzha, though we will lose Mariupol, Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Lisychansk, Severodonetsk and other cities, but that's not important. You will find joy in such little things as electricity and heating" - all listed towns are currently captured or destroyed by ruzzia, with Sudzha being a town in Kursk region of russia currently under control of UA forces. Whole message is clearly a ruzzian made mock of Zelensky's inauguration speech from 2019.
ah yes, using the criminal actions of a state as an excuse for bigotry against hundreds of millions of people that have nothing to do with anything. the cold war's back on, baby!
@richardsanders4624 Well, if you class a planned 3 day operation that's still not achieved its objectives after the best part of 1000 days as "winning" then, okay, congratulations Pootin.
So 40m getting battered with QRM on 7.030 +/- & 7.060 +/- possibly to do with Ukraine war radar but certainly wipes the band portion out. Be helpful if you could do something about it as intruder watch doest want to be bothered by the African broadcast station at 7.200 down to 7.190
He says: Говорит Москва Передаём важное правительственное сообщение Граждане и гражданки Советского союза Наше дело правое Враг будет разбит Победа будет за нами
Be thankful that you weren't active in the Cold War days. The European 40m amateur band was only 7.0 - 7.1MHz back then, and filled with broadcast intruders: China, various Asian and Middle Eastern stations (legit and clandestine) and, worst of all, Radio Tirana blasting out dreary propaganda with 120kW on up to three channels. To make it worse, when Tirana broadcast in Russian the Soviet jammers piled on top of them. :-(
