250-270 is just you never know whats gonna come up?, like the Car Alarm, or in CW "save Ukraine"
broadcast..etc.etc. sometimes interesting tuning around there and you do not even need a special
antenna at all...I have copied Pirates on my old Pro-43 at my desk ...Marcy

Kinda some fading QSB now not nearly as strong as it was around 2130 ...Marcy

You mean like this😆.. you know with your location and that antenna this service could have been coming from anywhere, it could be Poughkeepsie New York or somewhere in Connecticut, how is your propagation tonight?

This Russian broadcast is still going,,,very strong today S7...nice music! 73,s Marcy

This station is still going on 261.835 with Eastern Orthodox church services , very strong right now
here 24/7 most of time you will copy stations with music and stuff 250-270 and they are gone but
this one has been months , I really enjoy the Eastern Orthodox Church choir music reminds of my
youth...I checked all over cannot find any concrete ID on this but it really is a anomaly to me , you
should try to see if you copy this ? I wanted to see if I could just get it on my old Pro-43 in the
shack and had it (very weak of course) with stock rubber duckie.. but on my Discone usually S 5-7
I do not of course understand what they are saying but the music is nice, I did not even
understand when I kid! ...but it was beautiful to listen to the choir and the chanting...gud listening

I posted on UHF-Satcom and never really got any info on it or ID?
but as long as it stays on cool to me! ...it was copied and reported but
no info or ID on it? 73,s Marcy

Is there a church within a few miles of you? Could be a wireless mic?

It was even posted to You Tube ..if you put in search "261.835" the piece that was posted just has a OM speaking in Russian not the Eastern Orthodox Church/music I mention but sometimes it is just talk by a YL/OM...Marcy

@0330L I'm receiving the 261.835 tfc on my AR8000 using a RS disone 30' agl; 75' RG8 coax to a Stridesberg amp to a basic 16 port TV splitter feeding 16 scanners.

That sounds like quite the setup!

 

[Marcy57]

And still going all this time...S8 here today...with Eastern Orthodox Church service at 2120...73,s Marcy

 

[Marcy57]

I have no idea of course just guessing but this is like months and months now on 261.835 just wondering if this is meant to be for the Russian troops maybe? in the conflict...? the music and the chanting is beautiful though to listen to.
(I,m Eastern Orthodox so maybe I,m partial to it? 73,s gud dxing , Marcy
