Sometimes people ask me how I capture the exact start of a military broadcast. Magic? No. I simply tune in and spend minutes recording nothing, like in this video, waiting for something interesting. Sometimes it works, sometimes nothing happens.

🇷🇺Russian Navy strategic broadcasts: Thanks to the great @te3ej we now know that these aren't four Monolith messages, but two Monoliths repeated twice, and we even have the text! The first message is addressed to the callsign XHOP, and the second to VD9B.

According to what is officially known, the 🇫🇷French Army uses 3881kHz and 6825kHz to send Morse code characters to train their guys in telegraphy. Impressive. Apparently, in 2026, they have no other way to train their personnell in Morse Code. RX in 🇮🇹Milan 01:20 UTC June10 2026
