Hope this message will find you well.<\/p>\n

I just monitored in Porto Alegre, Brazil, this signal on 9460 kHz. Searching on Internet I found that it’s the same frequency where the Russian MR-102 Baklan radar is operating. But it could be a weather fax. Do you have any clue?<\/p>\n

Please, check attachment for the audio clip. Thank you in advance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20200828-0718_9460_khz.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Thank you for sharing this, Carols. To my ear it does sound like some sort of slow-scan digital mode like weather fax, but I’ll leave it up to the SWLing Post<\/em> community to help identify.<\/p>\n

Post readers:<\/strong> please comment if you can ID this signal for Carlos.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Nils Schiffhauer found the answer. The signal is a weather fax transmission most liekly from Wellington, NZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
