    Red face UVB-76 & other quirky radio things

    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.

    Quirkiest radio thing I can think of is this here forum. I can say no more.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
