DISCLAIMER

DISCLAIMER: I have no association with UVB-76 station, neither do I have any clue what is the content I am relaying. I can only assure, that the signal is received on 4.625MHz AM-modulated 900km NW from supposed origin and retransmitted unaltered. In no way can I guarantee this service, nor be considered responsible of any content re-transmitted. The only purpose for this relay to exist is because lot of people who do not have equipment or are located too far from station seem to be interested about listening to it. Should the UVB-76 station- or transmission content owners feel violated in any way, please contact me at uvb76.repeater@gmail.com and we will work it out.

Note, that because of shortwave radio signal propagation specifics the station can be more or less reliably received from around 4pm to 6am GMT on summertime. It is almost 24h audible during the winter, with short "skip-zone" blank-out around 6pm GMT.

The USB feed is considered as main source of audio today, as the voice messages are much better audible there than on the AM stream. However, the buzzer sound from the AM stream is somewhat more pleasant to listen at, so both feeds are kept simultaneously.

Radio Sweden International

With an old antenna, there was sometimes a commercial radio breaking in (no, it was NOT the open mike at the UVB-76). One day I was just monitoring the stream, where all of the sudden the background signal got louder and louder, ending up with quite clear broadcast in swedish. Took a little while to find out the intermediate signature sound, but here it is: Radio Sweden International
It turns out, that they are broadcasting from Stockholm on 9.360Mhz, so it shall be their second lower harmonics what is radiating on 4.680MHz and somehow finds its way in here. I havent observed this with the new antenna, so may be ..
Other piece of informaion about Radio Sweden is, that they are shutting down their shortwave broadcasting since October 2010, going solely internet-based. Another shortwave station going RIP unfortunately :(

To listen while you still can, here is a nice Shortwave Radio Broadcast Frequency List
And if you want to know how their signatures sound, look at the Interval Signals Database
