- I share updates on progress made by radio hobbyists in recording and translating Russian military analogue radio transmissions during the war in Ukraine.
* I do slip up and say 'The Ukraine' on one occasion, it's a habit not intentional.

I'm a licensed amateur radio operator from the United Kingdom. My UA-cam channel features videos focusing on operating portable radio from various locations plus how to videos, tutorials, insights and conversations in the hobby.
The sensitivity in the video is great we can't forget the horror the people of Ukraine are living in.
Carl, thank you for this information especially the radio frequencies, even though I live in the US, I will try and see if I can monitor any of these frequencies. And Carl, I also agree that it is important to monitor those frequencies to see if any new information can be learned. Alot of good information, and thank you for sharing.
Enjoying this little series. 👍
Sometimes events pull you into a situation. We are all watching history being made.
and sometimes it's the government and people who followed their personal goals
Thanks for helping
It is worth monitoring RTTY and other data signals as well, I have come across some interesting transmissions, some definitely appears code,not encryption as such. One transmission looked like the equivalent of the enigma code, blocks of letters, some blocks of numbers, transmitted for around 5-10 minutes. These are amongst the blocks of STANAG frequencies. Sorcerer works quite well for decoding some stuff. There are also Link-11 transmissions, unfortunately I, as most of us don't have access to go2DECODE to decode these transmissions.
Keep scanning the airwaves people, try different settings and see what you get. Some rtty 850 75bd can be decoded into something legible, just need some code breakers to get information from the text.
if the Ukraine Hams would switch off the 2mtr and 70Cms repeaters it would stop the Russian soldiers from communicating.
Great video! Thank you for the info. Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
Very informative, thanks
Thanks Carl, and get better soon.
Hope you're feeling better Carl. Cheers!
Every conversation goes something like:
"Nobody taught me how this thing works."
"Just keep shooting flares out and you'll be fine."

This is good, informative content. Thanks
One would have to assume civilian use of ham radio is blocked in Ukraine for a lot of the same reasons why it would be blocked here.
We have 2nd usage on a lot of the bands, military would take control of those bands immediately and not so much because they want to use them, but so that there is less work for them to do when monitoring them.
The next reason is safety. Triangulation and direction finding, aka fox hunting, is a very real thing. The military might isn't going to be playing around when it comes to taking out anything like radio transmission for what would be seen as rogue operators.
It's ralitively easy to use the kiwi websdr as a triangulation network, and you can use make a very good single station triangulation tool using 3 calibrated SDR dongles. We would have to assume the military would have the same capability easily accessible to them.
Blocked?
Why would you assume that?
The reality is very different.
I've heard recordings of HF QSOs from Ukrainian hams recently
1/2hour ago on 80m a "russian like language" two persons speaking with a voice that sounds scared and stressful to another, then suddenly a alarm goes off and transmittion suddenly stop..
@DX Commander i hope only the sudden stop in transmittion was powerloss to the radio.
Good work! Hope ya feel better soon! Cheers
Thanks for the videos, there very interesting
If you have an SDR you may be able to pipe the audio into a voice recognition service in the Russian language and output text
thanks
Get well soon Carl! 73
Use Google translate in conversion mode. I've had some success translating Chinese radio
Do you know why Callum's channel has been taken off by UA-cam?
I've just been testing things within UA-cam and thought I'd take a break and watch the recording of Callum's premier from last night and ...
WTF?
What's happened to Callum's channel? I hope its UA-cam just throwing a wobbler and auto blocking an account and then it'll be reinstated after a talking to.
Probably UA-cam making a mistake and it’ll be back
Good man Carl👍🏻
Get well soon man😊.
There videos surely put you in the spotlight
The huge amount of video footage and radio recordings is being organised on an international scale! The links and information is public, newspapers have dedicated stories on this, I’m hardly an enemy of the state.
@@M0SZT Well, you get additional exposure on YT, so that's good
Can anyone track where the $200+ billion went?
Most all of it stayed in the country and will be used to replenish the old equipment that's been sent. Creating good paying jobs in the process.
Get better soon any thing on DMR ? From
Ukraine/ Russia
I’ve only monitored for short periods
Some US Hams were calling cq at Ukraine TG 255. But nothing interesting
Is there any Zello, Telegram groups to join ?
The Ukraine Zello channel seems to be full of trolls with no moderators doing their job. Lots happening on Telegram but I don’t know where authentic chats happen
Can ham shortwave operators help educating the Russian people on the truth of what is going on in Ukraine.
Listenn to 3675 Khz LSB every night almost propaganda against Moscow (for sure radioamateurs)
I was listening last night, sounded like an old comedy film in Russian
Hi Carl. I have send you a privat mail. 73´s from OZ7AE.
Carl make sure your keep rotate your IP address , keep safe God bless you.
My ISP does that itself annoyingly
Uraaa
interesting, just to add the BBC have resumed shortwave transmissions in an attempt to cut through the Russian media block on 15.735 and 5.875Mhz, Ps, just hope the KGB done catch up with you :0
If the FSB watches my videos I hope they don’t forget to press like and subscribe!
@@M0SZT 😀
Where's the part where the Ukrainans took the Russian tank for a joy ride? Hahahahahah
Russia have banned/blocked Zello, but these two channels are worth checking out:
Ukraine
Ukraine plus (which I'm a moderator of)
