Hi,

I am not that long a shortwave listner. Can anyone tell me who the station
is on 6245?

With my receiver i got the sony wave handbook. Very handy book but its not
100% accurate i noticed.
According to the book there is nothing on 6245 but i am sure i hear a
commercial station there. Its a bit
waek so i can't hear whats going on exactly. Any tips appreciated.

Is there a online frequentie list where i can for example fill in a
frequentie and the site gives me station names?
If not where can i get a good list or good book ? I was in the bookstore
last week but didn't see a thing about
radio in the hobby section.

The book "Passport to Worldband Radio" lists Radio Radonezh, Samara in
Russia transmitting in russian from 17:00 to 20:00 UTC, roughly 9am PST to
Noon Pst.

It is very difficult to find a publication that is 1005 accurate since
stations are coming and going all the time like shoppers at a K-Mart sale
s. Many persons here have excellent references you may use to identify
(DX) a radio signal you hear.

The band space in shortwave frequencies are divided between international
broadcasts and utility broadcasts and amateur radio operators (hams) among
other things. You might hear Air Force aircraft, marine radio telephone
transmissions, weather data, weather fax transmissions, spies sending coded
messages (numbers stations) even strange signals generated by gargantuan
lightening discharges or solar flares. This is the right place to find
information about all those things and about equipment or times to listen.

The frequency was also used, at least back in March, by Radio Gardarika via
St. Petersburg.

Its not a pirate. I have a ear for that. I listen regulary to european
pirates in the 48 meter band. I can identify the pirate
stations better then the commercial stations although i am learning about
that band. The station on 6.245 is a riddle for
me so thats why i asked. It could be Radonezh radio from Samara Russia. I
live in the Netherlands so a Russion station
is a good possability considering that 48 meter band is aimed at Europa. Now
i know the transmission times the station is
on i am gonna check it again tonight. Thanks for that information. Also
thanks for the book tip.

John,

You could have been tuned to Russia - Radio Radonnezh out of Samara and
in Russian from 1700-2000 hrs GMT. Or you may have tuned into the Jolly Roger
Radio, a pirate station out of Ireland from 0900-1400 hrs GMT in English on
Sundays. You did not mention a time that you heard the station, so it would
be hard for others to trace it down.

Good Listening and DX!!!
