Carlos notes:

Thank you Mr. Abel Work for the translation of what is said in this audio clip:
“I just listened to the audio clip and 95% of it is just noise and from the couple of sentences that I got, they are talking about that the TPLF has created a lot of people displaced from their home and they need all Ethiopians to help these people with everything including food and shelter”.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following:
I bought a small analog radio and I’ve been listening with it.
On September 4, around 17h48 UTC, I heard a strange signal on the band of 13 kHz, since it’s not a digital dial, I don’t know precisely the frequency but maybe if your readers may listen to the signal they may tell what it is about.
It almost sounds like the preamble to an SSTV message, but I’m not sure about that noise that’s in between. Readers, if you can help Carlos ID this signal, please comment!
For those who don’t know, our friend and SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, is not only a devoted radio enthusiast, but also a prominent political cartoonist in Brazil and throughout the world.
Recently, Carlos has been posting his shortwave logs on his Twitter feed and they’re pretty amazing.
Carlos’ shortwave logs not only include comments and notes from each broadcast, but also his own artwork.
Here’s Carlos’ recording of Vatican Radio which accompanies the log at the top of this post:

If you’ve been a reader of the SWLing Post for long, you’ll notice that we’re not a space for political discussions; there are much better options out there on the Internet. Here, we stick to the world of radio, but we can’t help but highlight this intersection and Carlos’ creative logs.
In fact, Carlos, I might nudge you for that Vatican Radio recording and your artwork to post on the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive!
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes from Brazil:
[Please check out this] audio sample of a signal I heard today (July 20, 2021) around 07h17 UTC on (at least) 4 different frequencies, simultaneously:
– 16166 kHz
– 16716 kHz
– 16747 kHz
– 16839 kHz
Always the same. Five beeps repeating in intervals of 30 seconds.
Another mystery to be solved by your readers.
Thank you for sharing this, Carlos. Hopefully, a reader can comment and ID these beeps for us!
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the photo above of the
radio beacon at the Brazilian Navy in Tramandai, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
What a gorgeous photo, Carlos!
Can anyone identify that antenna configuration?
