The French signal on 18.3kHz is broadcasted by the naval radio transmitter facility in Rosnay on behalf of Brest naval base 46.71237590245418, 1.244354722855594

Note that 18.3kHz is very close to 18.1kHz 🇷🇺RDL (Russian Navy strategic transmissions to submarines), so this powerful signal could jam Russian communications going on right now for the GROM nuclear exercise.

I don't monitor VLF often, so I don't know if this is usual, but it's the first time I've seen this signal on 18.3kHz. According to info found online, it's likely the 🇫🇷French Navy from Brest sending ciphered messages to submerged submarines. RX via 🇩🇪webSDR 07:15z Oct 23 1/2

🇷🇺”RDL” Russian Navy Strategic Broadcast caught on 6962kHz sending an FSK- Morse one-way ciphered message to surface strategic assets. As always, the same message was relay on VLF (Very Low Frequency) 18.1kHz to submerged submarines. Received in 🇮🇹Milan 19:43UTC Oct 21

👀There's a lot of speculation about this massive HF antenna cluster. According to the original post I found on Facebook, the antennas are located in eastern 🇺🇸Oregon and were erected in about a week. Does anyone have any reliable information?

I sent a listening report to "Radio Channel 292". They responded with this QSL card. Honest response, without lying. They can't respond with personalized QSL cards. Maximum respect for what they're doing. I thank RC292 and all the small shortwave stations for the wonderful work💪
