strange sounds on shortwave radio at night

a few strange sounds on the shortwave radio at night in san antonio tx.
sorry for the rest of the video being so dark as my headlight was dieing. V V UPDATED V V

UPDATE 2-21-16
ok. it has been a few years now sense i posted the video. at the time all this was new to me. this was the first time i had a radio with sideband giving me the key to open up these hidden signals that i couldnt get with a radio without sideband. every now and then on a normal shortwave radio i will get some signal that was under the static or when a ham operator nearby or with a very strong signal i can hear them talk but it would sound like the adults on charlie brown. some signals i knew were there way under the static. with sideband i can hear those signals clearly and hear the ham operators talk. i now know most of the signals now. i still come across some new ones every now and then.

[TL]

1st signal is a Sitor staiton sending call letters...The station is in Istanbul Turkey. call letters TAH

2nd signal is a USN HF multi-channel broadcast fading a a bit off freq.

3rd signal..end of something not sure

4th signal is a fax signal being copied in the wrong mode.

The first audio is TAH Istanbul Radio (from Turkey 8431 khz cw mode) channel marker for weather info.
The 8540 khz is Stanag 4285 (used by Nato)
9110 khz is weatherfax (from NMF USCG Boston, USA) usb mode.

I remember hearing the Morse code sound on SW when I was a kid in the 70s, Also the police used to broadcast on FM frequencies up until the late 80s, we used to listen to them talking on their CB radios!

1:16 probably just a slowed down sstv noise

[Kennynva]

the sound at 1:45 is definitely a weather fax...I use to convert them with a electronic device called a TNC and it would connect to a printer..and print out the fax..pretty cool..

1:18 is scarey when one is alone at night. Sounds like a heartbeat monitor of a unwilling personel launched into space by the russians. TY for sharing all of this.

So funny story. We had intercoms in our house because no one likes having to yell through the house to find somebody else. Yeah kind of big. They had a function as a two-way radio. There were these kids that would ride around our fairly rural subdivision late at night, using walkie-talkies to communicate. I would screw with them. From the intercom in my room. Playing like weird growling sounds and stuff just to scare those guys out there in the dark.

[gabrielv.]

what could that be.... so weird! I'd love to hear that on the radio. but I think I never will. so cool that you captured it!

8540 is just STANAG, modem used by NATO.

I worked on a merchant vessel in the late '60's. Every third night I'd get stoned and during my break time on my night shift (ordinary seaman 8 to 12, twice a day) I'd tune in to the shortwave sounds between the recognizable sounds. Total music on par with anything by John Cage.

I sometimes heard a sound like the repeating buzzing in the beginning when I would drive past the air base in Virginia Beach. Didn't matter what FM radio station it was on, it started buzzing like that for a few seconds.

I AGREE WHEN I USE MY yupiteru mvt-7100 with a long wire spread about the garden I can hear some strange stuff going on "I love short wave"

[kristiankolar]

9110 kHz is probably WEFAX, coming from Pinneberg or Northwood.

The tick/tap noise is each line of a fax photo.

i allways did that when i was a kid in the late 80'S and early 90's we had no internet.so i was"surfing" the radio.i build the longest antennas and i found so many strange sounds and noises

[ericwycoff]

not sure if your into synthesizers at all but you can put the line feed threw certain synths and get some really insane results!

[mrlardster]

I'm getting exactly the same signal on 8340 kHz and I'm in Worcester in central England. Very strange

[TheZooman]

That is odd. I just noticed this was about 7 years ago. I live in Texas and I pick up some odd sounds too on my radio currently. I pick up some weird droning sounds on 3575 kHz.

The second one sounds like the Vela The Vela Pulsar is a supernova (a star that is exploding). You basically caught the sound of a star exploding.

BBC London, Voice of America and Beijing CIR are among my favorite on shortwave.  I also hear a lot of strange sound including that one lol
