Mystery radio station, Western Götaland, Sweden

[Smashfaan]

That smurf cosplay on the thumbnail brought me here lol

[TheClarenceter]

Pay attention all of the tunes are unique, all of them has a slightly longer drag at the end.

[TheClarenceter]

Some downs syndrome is really proud of being able to play something on his recorder....you know the rest.

[AtticusStount]

@TheClarenceter if you think this sounds like a recorder, then I feel it is my duty to send you some cotton buds. Clean out those ears!

[TheClarenceter]

@AtticusStount Did I ever say it was a recorder, now stop being a smartass and check your eyes.

[Somaed]

Some kid practicing a song on his recorder for everyone to hear.

[MegaMan6947]

Sounds like a UFO broadcast from the old movies, where it sends a message by using a piano type sound. Or maybe its a number station for spies but it stopped broadcasting and theres no message to be sent so it plays the same ending tone over and over cause theres no message being broadcasted.

[kmikl]

Does the interval between repeats change?

[MikeInc79]

Det är en närradiostation som sänder ut en paussignal när inget annat program sänds. Det får nämligen inte vara helt tyst på frekvensen därför lägger man ut denna melodislinga. Vet du vilken frekvens det är kan du får mer hjälp på radiofakta.se

Radio Trollhättan på 90,6MHz hade i många år från 1995 och framåt fågelkvitter som paussignal.

[AtticusStount]

@MikeInc79 and for those of us who don't understand Swedish?!

[englanddg]

@AtticusStount It is a community radio station transmitting a pause signal when no other programs are broadcast. It may not be totally silent on the frequency thats why you like this melody. Do you know what frequency it is you can get more help on radiofakta.se

Radio Trollhättan at 90.6 MHz had in many years from 1995 onwards, birds singing as a break signal.

[AtticusStount]

@englanddg another mystery has been dissolved, and as thus the world is a far more boring place.

[englanddg]

@AtticusStount Yeah, sucks...but there is still a lot out there.

[hotelmario510]

I suspect it is a Swedish UVB-76, just the same noise, over, and over, and over. And when it stops...armageddon.

[Carthsting]

@hotelmario510 When there will be armageddon, everything gonna stop.

[hotelmario510]

@Carthsting No, it will stop prior to armageddon.

[Carthsting]

@hotelmario510 How do you know it is still going now?

[hotelmario510]

@Carthsting Well, that wasn't my point.

[SUNKORAMA]

I could swear that this melody was composed by Ralph Lundsten. It might be him playing a joke. I wouldn't put it past him.

[AtomicDragon71]

Is this a Close Encounter Of The Third Kind thing? just keep repeating the same notes and a spaceship takes your children.

[cordeliacheni2]

It's probably an indication that some defense or other service is running as it should.

If it's not running they'd change the melody or it would go silent.

[maninthemiddlealso]

Oh, oh, yes!Now I´ve had a fine connection to the scary-,sacry Smurf on Longerthanshortwaveandalongthe­moonbacktoearth on Friday the 13. in Space- frequency 4.589 Khz. upper-lower-side-band. He told me (hurry!)that he was afraid that someone could discover him, because he means that he seem to blue, for real Spy-Life. Why? He was the best man ever!? XD

[maninthemiddlealso]

Maaan, you got it! Now you´re the one n´only real BIG- SPY. Your Well-Dressed- Code betrayed me.... XD

[huntr7777]

Well, if there's a string of numbers afterwards, then it is what's called a spy numbers station. These stations transmit in almost every language on the shortwave band, and have been for dozens of years. Google Spy numbers stations and you'll get lot of of web pages that profile where they are, and possibly what country they belong to.

By the way, you failed to mention the frequency of the station, is it shortwave, FM, or AM?

T

[ebayaddict19]

is this VHF of hf ? sounds fm to me

[BrutalDeluxe80]

I've been activated. I must kill the president...

[maninthemiddlealso]

@BrutalDeluxe80

No, no, urgent, you´ve taken the very wrong DE-Code-Card! Did you killed him now? Oh boy, red- rockets will kill us now... XDXDXD

[BrutalDeluxe80]

I'm writing from a smuggled mobile phone in Guantanamo, so I guess I did get someone, but they won't tell me who...

[maninthemiddlealso]

Hy, BruteforcemanDeluxe, there´s a newer code to load down via Safer-SMS!Are you able to get it, or did they catch you, yet? Is there some danger,do what we´ve teached you in the camp:slug it down and be able to digest it!Otherwise tell them, that it isn´t a phone!It´s a real Tamagotchi.You´ll see, they believe you!That´s what you have to do, for your country!Oh, shit,do you knowing,where Mrs.Moneypenny laid down the Stars on45´-Mix with the scary-scary-melodie?

[Spikmonkeyman]

i can hear numbers in the pause between tones

[Darrylb500]

Oh, good catch, you really have to crank up the volume in between the notes to hear the numbers below them. Pretty sneaky there...

[swedechiller]

It might be a numbers station you've heard, but there might also be another explanation. In Sweden, it has been illegal to have radio broadcasting equipment (above a certain strenght) silent. This is subject to some really wierd broadcastings when radio stations cease to exist, for example in the area of Borlänge there has been a station playing "Für Elise" 24/7 because of this.

[Resdon111]

I wonder if there's maybe a digital/packet signal buried in there beyond human hearing range...unlikely, but possible

[flearman]

I'm from western götaland, sweden. i have never heard of this before. i found this very interesting and creepy.

[juleshs31]

It sound like either an emergency broadcast chanell that is being reserved for use by a repeating transmition. Either that or a 'talkback system' (type into wikipedia for more indo) that is either very little used or used with shorter range transcievers.

[phoobamboo]

It could be in constant use in case of an emergency. The song would stop and a message would be sent out in case of an emergency.

[pitcalco]

The sound quality is a little too god. It sound like FM which would be most unusual and impractical for numbers stations. I like in Western Sweden too. What is the freq. This *might* be Z9 but I doubt it.

[pitcalco]

*too good,even

[jonis666]

any1 know the frequency of this channel?

[Butterflybreakfast]

Well, coming from paranoid American (er, realistic American) after the first two pass throughs I shut it off. I need no more reprogramming. I basically exist on two brain cells and even they're fighting each other for control.

[AtticusStount]

This isn't a number station, more a mysterious repetitive melody station.

[heidiwohnzimmer]

It's a 'numbers station'

youtube doesn't allow links in comments so put 'numbers station' into wikipedia there is an article there which explains it well

[MNc99]

I don't think so, Tim.

I'd wager a guess at it being something similar that plays data in the form of music, but even then the tune would change at some point.

Can the original poster perhaps verify that this is the same tune being played 24/7?

[eleebc]

It is a mars outcast banished forever.
