They Called Me On Russia's Military Frequency! 

Very _post industrial_

Same. I'm not into HAM, but his content is still interesting! The almighty algorithm hath blessed us with this gem. 😁

Welcome aboard!

Same lol. I had a pair of studio monitors that were picking up 1-way radio messages from the local airport, I found the channel from some Google-fu related to that. I know literally nothing about any of this but it's fascinating.

@@kaiying74 That reminds me of my childhood (I'm an 80s kid)... With our phone downstairs I had found out that if I pressed down on the receiver just the right amount, I could faintly pick up a radio station! But I never figured out which one, since it would've required me to sit there for awhile in order to happen upon the DJ saying the station name... However, I'm _pretty sure_ it was an FM station, since all the AM ones I had ever heard were either all talk or classical music, whereas this was playing some songs even I was familiar with (this would've been early 90s).

Looked for a Baofeng review because I'm playing with the idea to get a cheap handset, just to dip in my toes a little. Stuck here since then. Thanks for your work, mate!

Not a radio star that video is killing, though! (The radio star who can most truly be thought to have been killed by video, as in the rise of broadcast television in the United States, was Fred Allen [John Florence Sullivan]. I don’t really think that the writer of the song was thinking of him.)

Remember Special Guest Star?

What was that song again, can't remember. Too long ago...

@@Sool101 The Buggies? The video of the song was used to launch MTV. ironically Radio is still going strong but MTV? Do you need satellite to see that?

Radio made a video star

Down here in Brighton, I have high friends in low places.

Lol. And those friends have friends in Crawl Spaces

Basically every country makes up its own rules. Although there are international agreements on the use of certain frequencies for the likes of marine emergency channels, locator beacons etc.

Seconding this, would love to learn more! Just a simple beginners video explaining piracy and such would help a lot

"owning" an arbitrary photon frequency in the space.

The Soviets actually had a listening station on the top of a mountain, close to the East / West German border. From there they could record *EVERY* transmission made from within West Germany....

We all have a party line history, or talking between the buzz buzz buzz of a busy signal.

That brings back memories!!😁😉

the8bitguy did a fantastic video on how phone phreaking worked back in the day and its fantastic.

Only slightly related but still amusing to phone phreaks: Back in the 70's, the Bell System started rolling out their #1 ESS with "custom calling features." There was a sweet spot in there where features like 3-way calling were available but Caller-ID was not yet implemented. In the city I was living in at the time, I noticed my apartment phone's dial tone sounded different and discovered my exchange was the first to cut over to #1 ESS from its crossbar. I was the first person to subscribe to "custom calling." Being the young terror that I was, I set out to create lulz for myself at the expense of other telephone subscribers. One trick I pulled was to look in the white pages for very unusual last names that had only two or three different listings. I did this knowing that the people would almost certainly be related and know each other. I would wait until late at night when most people are asleep and then perform this sequence: Dial first person, as soon as their phone started ringing, place them on hold and dial the other person. Finally, when the second phone started ringing, I would flash the hook and tie all of us together so they could talk to each other (I had unscrewed my phone's microphone so they wouldn't hear me laughing.) _#1: "Hello?"_ _#2: "Yes?"_ _#1: "What do you want?"_ _#2: "You called me! What do you want?"_ _#1: "I didn't call you. You called me!"_ _#2: "My phone rang and I answered it."_ _#1: "My phone rang too. Who is this?"_ _#2: "This is Bob. Who is this?"_ _#1: "Bob? This is Jack. Is anything wrong?"_ _#2: "Why are you calling me, Jack? I was sound asleep!"_ _#1: "But I didn't call you! My phone rang!"_ _#2: "Stop playing games."_ I would sometimes repeat with the same people until they were screaming at each other, but they eventually figured out that it had to be "crossed lines" and they would "call repair." I was a real stinker in those days.

Even though I was born too late (82) that stuff absolutely fascinated me, that blind guy named joy bubbles who could whistle and tap the phone to the tones to get it to go all the way around the world and back to his other phone, and so many other examples. Something very eerie about old tech like this.

sounds like you kind of condone it a little bit, if the beat's sick enough

It was darude sandstorm wasn't it?

@@defenda1 sounds like you don't recognise sarcasm

@@and321now *I do condone radio piracy.

Did you understand what they were saying ?

Spain has a lot of internal enemies. They have several seperatist provinces.

I still have the one my uncle let me “borrow” in 1985. I used to stay up all hours of the night listening to it, I was 15. I even had the longwire antenna from Radio Shack in the back yard, it was so interesting then.

Up until they updated the iOS on Apple phones you could listen to WebSDRs when the screen saver cut in. Not so much now. It kills the browser audio stream If I was a little amped but needed to sleep, I’d find a short wave station on the WebSDR and listen to it while I drifted off. Didn’t take long.

The ones with all the insulators to break them up are to stop them being resonate to the antenna.

"beating out the Buzzer"....Yeah, they actually aren't though. The Russian broadcasts are digital, so these pirates aren't actually achieving anything.

The Monkey D. Luffy of radio piracy!

More like the David Attenborough

Yes. If you listen to static you can barely make out voices. But that's the brain trying to filter.

is slovak language really similar enough to russian to be mutually intelligible?

@@PAPERMAssteryes. Even with Serbo Croatian or Bulgarian. You can understand a lot of words and if not, you can understand the meaning of the sentence and figure it out quickly

​@PAPERMAsster yeah even knowing Macedonian gets me a fair bit

Привет друг!

Привет, привет ! 👋

With great power comes great electricity bill.

It wouldn't actually achieve anything

Yeah china has ruined radio and many other things

If they were trying to jam digital signals, they wouldn't of achieved anything.

I’m sure Lewis will be safe. He has friends in low places. :-) I met a dude from Panama at a gig I was playing at. He said to me “I know cartel”. I looked him in the eye and replied “That’s cool. You’re lucky. I have to do all my own dirty work myself” and smiled while keeping my eyes focused on his. He looked a little nervous :-)

Same here! Totally creeped me out!

daily fun for any radio-ham

Another commenter said it was a Hungarian accent. _(I have no way to confirm that; just relaying the message)_

_Iiii waannntt mmyyyy U H F..._ 😅

Unsurprising really. Have you seen what you can get for less than £30, let alone a couple of hundred.

Nah, they'll just watch his videos. Less travelling, in space or time.

They will flash his memory

​@@bikeforever2016not to say this is what they do but this is what they do pointless to go all the way when it's harmless

Thank you!!

And I guess there's third song at 2:11 that could be named.
