Similar effect here in Toronto if I listen using the Barker & Williamson antenna. If I switch to the loop or end-fed antenna then all I receive is CINA. CINA is located +/- 8 miles from my location. It's all about the antenna / ground waves.  https://radio-locator.com/info/CINA-AM

Paul, give it a shot anyway. I use Windows 7 as well. The application appears to runs, I.E. no error messages. I followed the instructions in the PDF and tried to analyze an I/Q file from SDRuno but with negative result. After I clicked "process" it returned to the main screen with no waterfall display.  I also could not find the "progress indicators" mentioned in the document or it is perhaps that I used an incompatible I/Q file to test with. --- Richard

Utility / Re: Military? 6855 kHz USB (voice) starting 2323z 26 Jan 2021

I'm not going to lie, I used Google but I just tried searching for 6855 from the home page a got 4 pages of additional results. A couple of interesting ones, several being Cuban Spy Number stations and this one about CANFORCE and Halifax https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,36044.msg134758.html#msg134758

This other post looks very similar to the one you reported https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,37937.msg141704.html#msg141704

I'm going to have to keep an ear on this frequency.

Have a look at the following post:

After hearing your 2 recordings my first thought was that this was Canadian as well based on dialect.

Nothing heard from my location in Toronto, Ontario Canada but I just tuned in a Kiwi WebSDR in Ottawa with a 160 meter Beverage antenna and there it is, 252 kHz. I verified it with the Twente WebSDR and it is the same programming.

I can just hear Radio New Zealand International over the noise floor at 14:28z, 25 January 2021. The signal is bouncing up and down with propagation and averaging -100 dBm.

According to their schedule at https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen the target for this time frame is Pacific. To my location, this is approx 14,300 km (8,700 mi) across the Pacific Ocean.

A nice technical write-up of RNZI's shortwave operation is available at: https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/technical

The station is just too weak for me to make anything out. I can just hear the music, announcements and SSTV over the background noise. Listening from Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Thank you for the broadcast. It gave me the opportunity to try some serious DXing with my new BELKA-DX receiver acquired in late November. The transmission came in like a charm from within my home in Toronto Ontario Canada using the telescopic whip.

Anyone capture any Link 22 Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) audio samples or know of any active link 22 frequencies? Link 22 (STANAG 5522) is the next generation of Link 11 (MIL-STD-6011 / STANAG 5511).
