How long this is going to last is anyone's guess

Last night and this morning when it shows the 750 limit give it a try. I find that people are jumping off/on and there's usually room. Still, it is always close to 750, so many are not leaving the page and losing their spot.

Anyways, what is great about Twente is the chat box and user tabs. One can easily see the busiest frequencies in the user tab and the chat box has people linking and chatting specific frequencies.

Probably the best place to look for utility and mil reports from the Ukraine area would be the Utility DXers Forum (UDXF) reflector on groups.io. They have a very large number of Euro members and will be a likely target for them....Mike

5125 usb seems to be busiest, until it got clobbered by their own radar. Look for a remote sdr in that region, if you can't get into the University of Twente's SDR

Thanks W2DSX the Twente SDR was active on 5125. I don't know the languages being spoken, but I can guess what the word "rooskie" means; yep heard that.

I've used the websdr site off and on over the last day or two and haven't had many issues.

Most of the kiwi sites have a time limit, but they can be useful for doing a quick check of frequencies.

I hit the busy message on Twente a couple of times, but this is to be expected.

Our list of online SDRs and receivers can be found here

If you're using Chrome on the websdr site you may find that you get no audio. The instructions on the website are a little dated since the versions have been updated - I will post an update for this shortly

OK here we go. Please don't ask about other browsers; this is for the latest version of Chrome.

• Click the 3 vertically stacked buttons on the upper right
• Select Settings
• Select Security and Privacy from the left menu
• Scroll down to Site Settings and select it
• Go all the way down to Additional Content Settings. Click on the arrow to open the selections
• Select Sound
• Go to Allowed To Play Sound and Click the ADD button. Enter the URL as shown. I found you had to do this 2x before it took, but it could have just as easily been fat fingers on my part
• CAVEAT: As written this will allow any site that has audio to play. You may not want that; you can set up your own list of valid sites using this method.
• CAVEAT: On my version Chrome didn't show the site immediately. Evidently it takes a few seconds for it to be registered. But once you add the site, you should be good to go

This was posted on a well known Internet gathering hole. Some of it translates to the following:

12041KHz day, 10057KHz night
13619KHz day, 12905KHz night
7149KHz day, 4750KHz night
44225KHz
39425KHz
31375KHz

I would assume the HF freqs are USB and the last three are VHF lo band FM.

There could be errors as it is not my native language. I am not even at beginner level. Also as prcguy noted those are day then night frequencies and the YKB = VHF. I am definitely unsure if the other freqs are secondary and tertiary.

Using a scan and translate app on my phone, here are some of the callsigns:
HURRICANE-02
CANDIED FRUIT-71 (I doubt that's correct, but that's what came up)
THUNDERSTORM-06
ACACIA-13
NYLON-45
RAVEN-85
ORBIT-22
CHANT-81
RUSIO-93
BANKER-09
JACKET-23
MORNING-82
MEL-99
CONSOLE-90
CROWN-62
PEPPER-50
CROWN-05
STREET-86

CORRESPONDENT
1) Division Commander
2) Deputy Division Commander
3) Chief of Staff
4) Commander 228 MSP
5) Commander 239 TP
6) Commander 80 TP
7) Commander 6 TR

I'm not sure what the numbers are for, the header is an abbreviation that won't translate.

I know this information probably isn't that important, but I posted it anyway in case anyone's curious about what some of it says.

Aside: I can imagine that some Ukrainian villager came across this while rummaging through an abandoned Russian tank.

 

[Razvedchik]

You got just about all of it right! The title just says 300th Division Commander's Commo Plan. It's a little harder to translate because it's in genetive case. The Commander 239, 80, etc are tank company commanders. KB is short wave given in kilohertz and YKB is ultra short wave in kilohertz (so yes, UHF). Callsigns can be any word, so while "hard candy" may seem strange, that's the callsign. Razvorot-90, at the bottom, is the signal to switch to a special channel.

 

[mfn002]

A few years ago, I recall reading a news report somewhere that said that most Russian tanks were equipped with tube radios, so I suspect that most transmissions are analog.

Has anyone heard anything on any of those HF frequencies? I can't monitor them around here because there is too much interference.

 

[ka3jjz]

I don't recall seeing those reported on the UDXF, but that doesn't mean anything....Mike

The University of Twente websdr in the Netherlands upped their listener limit from 750 to over 2400 users. One should be able to login and use that for listening. Still, when you actually look at the HF frequencies noted on that paper, they are occupied by other well known signals, not that it would stop military use. One of the HF freqs is in the amateur bands.

As to VHF, the University receiver is over 1000 km (800 mi) away from the western border of Ukraine, so keep that in mind. Also, in case it is not obvious, the Russian alphabet is used on that paper and not Ukrainian.

In this video their are some frequencies to check out and he also talks about SDR at the end.
