The pirate is now transmitting in English, while laying down a solid CW on 4.625 Mhz so powerful that it's totally drowning out the original signal.
Just saw a Skull & Bones come down the spectrograph:
On the one hand, it's cool as hell to be watching a hacker of this talent doing this **** in real time.
On the other hand, if the Russian authorities ever locate this person, they are probably going to have never existed. And I'm not saying that in a humorous way.

You know, I see the pictures and they mean absolutely nothing to me. What's happening in layman's terms? And why?
The epitaph here is that while I theoretically have control over this same kind of tech at my workplace, it'd take a hell of a lot of work on my part to reproduce the thing which this person is doing.

You mean, you can't just change frequency and start stepping on other TV channels? I guess it's different in the digital age.
I'd have to imagine someone did this back in the analogue era.

Personally, yes, I could easily do this. Just a few mouse clicks
But I'd have to tune my transmitter away from our own frequency to do it. As WGN is already the #1 channel in town in nearly every single timeslot, the consequences of this would be negative.
The pirate who is hijacking UVB-76 is doing something much more creative. They're not just putting out interference, they're modulating the carrier in a way which sounds like gibberish to any normal receiver, but forms words and pictures to someone looking at a waterfall-style spectral analyzer. And that's something which I can't do with the tech I have in place. You'd have to specifically engineer a system to produce this kind of output, which is nonsense except to anyone looking at the signal with a spectrum analyzer.
Which, in the case of UVB-76, a lot of people are doing.

Thanks for the info. It's funny that technically no one knows why Russia has this station and why it's emitting these sounds. That it's low power nonsense/noise and unexplained is so classically Russian...

And regarding viewing this station with a spectral analyzer I'd say, "Get another hobby," but....
