I just returned back home from a trip and yes the signals are still there as of 10 minutes back. They can be heard on my websdr https://websdr.vu2tum.com/

These signals are being heard in VU as well. I have been seeing chatter on Whatsapp groups about these to the extent that 40m nets have shifted up. It will be interesting to geolocate the source of these signals based on a regional triangulation. Some folks are saying these are of China origin, others say they are from Israel or Iran.

Of course, what they decode into is yet another mystery at the moment.

Its back now

 

Seems Mastodon.radio instance has an outage. Haven't been able to access for last couple of hours.

 

Hello, this is for ham radio enthusiasts from India. VU2LVJ is starting a free online learning program for the Amateur Station Operators Certificate (ASOC) exam in India. If someone is interested you can get in touch with him (look at this bio on his qrz page) or DM me, I can connect you with him. 73 de VU2TUM.

Hi. Thanks for collating information about various member societies. Here in India, ARSI folks are more connected to fellow hams via whatsapp and there is a groups.io and this doesn’t make it easy for new comers or people interested to get into ham radio. What’s ironic is that ARSI is headquartered in Bangalore, India’s silicon valley and they could certainly do a much better job.

 

Hello, I saw this community has zero posts and I thought, this should be a good start. Sharing with fellow CW lovers out there.

I started my HF journey last year in August. My first (failed) attempt at CW QSO in Nov 23. Then, I gave up. Restarted CW in March this year. Around that time, I gave up FT8 and also SSB. Still work SSB but not FT*. So, yeah, I am proud of myself to have achieved this. Some folks said, oh big deal, one can achieve this over a contest weekend. Maybe they can - for me it was significant work. Next goal SKCC 100. :-) 73 de VU2TUM
