I stumbled across this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVB-76
I'm sure you all have discussed UVB-76 at some point, but it's my first time seeing anything about it. I'm curious what other radio anomalies everyone has run across :)

I got to it after a friend sent me to this link :)

OTHB radar, ocean-height radar are a couple HF irritants.

Tune around 4400-4500 KHz in the evening and listen for a repetitive sweeping signal. That's a wave-height radar. If you have a panadapter hooked to your receiver you can watch the carrier move up and down the band.

Probably better than a bush on a Gnu.

It's nearing Halloween. Park your receivers on 6925 USB if you want to hear the interesting ones crawl out of the woodwork.
