Radiom-77: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:18, 20 October 2026

"Radiom-77" is the former callsign of the Russian Military station that operates on 4728,4823,4679 and 7036kHz. The stations was first discovered in late 2018 on the frequency of 7020kHz with it disappearing completely roughly around December and it reappearing out of nowhere July 2026.

The most prominent feature of the station first going on air after many years was It's terrible transmitter, and frequent marker changes. Specifically frequency breakdowns, multiple voice cut outs during voice messages and the marker jumping in frequency and generally being unstable. Around September and August the station almost entirely stopped operating on 4728kHz and moved to 4823. At the time of the frequency changing, 4823kHz was close many other Rus Mil stations such as "FENT" on 4840 and (formerly) "Oblako-47"

Around October time, Radiom-77 adopted the callsign IKShP and moved to 7036kHz as well as FENT and (formerly) Oblako-47. It is not exactly known but it is assumed that Radiom-77/IKShP is located in near St, Petersburg in the Nizhniy region of the Novgorod Oblast.

Transmitter information: little info of the transmitter equipment is known apart from the updated and more stable transmitter adopted around September to October time. The antenna is most likely and end fed halfwave or five element Yagi.

There is also less marker variation with the station uses now which consist of various copies or "remakes" of the 4625kHz buzzer or a generic 320Hz pip.

Voice traffic: Voice traffic is primarily test counts and 4 figure Uzor messages but activity increases when a Military Training is in progress. Additionally, during training a CW (morse code) variant of Radiom-77/IKShP is present on 7040kHz. The CW variant uses the callsign IKS and repeats spoken voice messages.

+"Radiom-77" is the former callsign of the Russian Military station that operates on 4728,4823,4679 and 7036kHz. The stations was first discovered in late 2018 on the frequency of 7020kHz with it disappearing completely roughly around December and it reappearing out of nowhere July 2026.
-Radiom-77 is the name and callsign of a Russian military communication station. Hobbyists in Russia and nearby countries first discovered the station in late 2018 on 7020, 7040 and 7050 KHZ with it rarely being seen on 6988 KHZ. Until mid 2026, NO activity had been detected with many suspecting the station was permanently gone . It was suspected that Radiom-77 was located near Rostov-On-Don in the southern military district of Russia. Additionally the marker/generator used is suspected to be of extremely poor quality and frequent breakdowns were logged as well as the frequency even drifting by up to a KHZ at one point.
+The most prominent feature of the station first going on air after many years was It's terrible transmitter, and frequent marker changes. Specifically frequency breakdowns, multiple voice cut outs during voice messages and the marker jumping in frequency and generally being unstable. Around September and August the station almost entirely stopped operating on 4728kHz and moved to 4823. At the time of the frequency changing, 4823kHz was close many other Rus Mil stations such as "[[FENT]]" on 4840 and (formerly) "[[Oblako-47]]"
-The station re-appeared on 4728 KHZ half way through 2026. Many hobbyists reported the station being much stronger near Finland and other neighbouring countries of Russia. Through triangulation it is assumed that the station is located in the Novgorod Oblast with a much much more stable transmitter.
+Around October time, Radiom-77 adopted the callsign IKShP and moved to 7036kHz as well as FENT and (formerly) [[Oblako-47]]. It is not exactly known but it is assumed that Radiom-77/IKShP is located in near St, Petersburg in the Nizhniy region of the Novgorod Oblast.
-Only a few actual voice messages have been recorded and logged with most voice activity being test counts with voice messages being in 4 figure UZOR format. It is VERY RARE that Radiom-77 will address another known station known as FENT.
+Transmitter information: little info of the transmitter equipment is known apart from the updated and more stable transmitter adopted around September to October time. The antenna is most likely and end fed halfwave or five element Yagi.
-Most activity with Radiom-77 and FENT has merely been reception checks.
+There is also less marker variation with the station uses now which consist of various copies or "remakes" of the 4625kHz buzzer or a generic 320Hz pip.
-An example of a message between Radiom-77 and FENT: "Fyodor Ehko Nikolai Tatyana... Fyodor Ehko Nikolai Tatyana...  Ja Radiom simdyset sim.. priyom".
+Voice traffic: Voice traffic is primarily test counts and 4 figure Uzor messages but activity increases when a Military Training is in progress. Additionally, during training a CW (morse code) variant of Radiom-77/IKShP is present on 7040kHz. The CW variant uses the callsign IKS and repeats spoken voice messages.
-Test counts are usually in this format.
-"Radiom simdyset sim... Radiom simdyset sim... odin dva tri chetyre pyat shest sem vosem devyat nul"
-"odin dva tri chetyre pyat shest sem vosem devyat nul"
-"odin dva tri chetyre pyat shest sem vosem devyat desyat"
-It is unknown whether this is operator error or intentional but after a voice message or test count,  Radiom-77's marker is left off with only 50hz kerro transmitter noise being audible.
-Radiom-77 has a very unstable and erratic schedule.
-The station has been logged as quite active during the summer but between the 23rd and 20th of july no activity was logged.
-Before summer the station was mainly active from 3PM GMT to 10PM GMT on Monday to Friday. With the station being active from 7AM GMT to 10PM GMT.
-Lastly, Radiom-77's marker can change quite often with multiple variations of already existing stations being "remade" or "recreated" in a worse way. Sometimes other stations like the pip or buzzer have their audio routed into the stations transmitter with evidence of the pip and radiom-77 transmitting t the same marker at milliseconds of difference.
-Current frequencies that Radiom-77 operates on:
-KHZ-Main frequency for day and night.
-KHZ-Suspected to be backup frequency for day and night due to frequent jamming of main frequency.
