A few logs from today from Lafayette, La. I'm using a discone in the attic with one of the disc elements and one of the legs extended with wires to make a 33 Mhz dipole on the discone. These elements have a total length of about 7 feet.

Today's captures from Southern California:
Note 1: Hit pay dirt on this one! Copied both sides of a discussion related to vehicle maintenance, and the control station signed off with its callsign (KGV873), so there ya go, there's that one (for that location at least).
Now that schools are back in session, we're hearing all of the usual school bus systems once again.

Most likely linked to the Ukraine War
Or am I mistaken? Quite high on 34MHz...
AKKORD-SS-PD - Signal Identification Wiki
Akkord-SS-PD (АККОРД-СС-ПД), also known as “Akkord-165” is a Russian datalink used during the invasion of Ukraine. Akkord is a rather old family of datalink protocols, Akkord-165 being the most recent version.
