Agitated woman broadcasting on shortwave radio, circa 1983 (strange).

During the early 1980's I used to borrow my mum's Philips radio. It was the only radio in our house to have the Shortwave band on it, and I enjoyed very slowly scanning the airwaves from left to right of the dial.

EVERY time no matter what time of day or which day, along towards the extreme right of the dial I would pick up the voice of a fast talking woman. She always sounded agitated/angry/ as if she was arguing with someone and determined to put her point accross. You could never hear the response from the other person (mind you, they'd barely manage to get a word in edgeways , so it may well have been a radio ham?

She'd speak endlessly and went on and on and on and on and on. As I say, always gauranteed to be heard at any time, and from memory, I listened to her over a period of I'd say, 3-4 years.

Luckily I have found a recording I made of this, though it is only a short segment.

Hopefully one day I will find a longer recording. I haven't listened to shortwave for many years, so perhaps this woman's voice can still be heard now?!

Ah, that is reversely inflected Syraco-Albanian. In this clip she is saying "Grigor, you worthless son of a botfly, why have you let our third-smallest goat into the neighbor's tuber-patch?"

This is just like the voice on a bizzare phone call I got at 3 in the morning in 2003. Utterely freaked me out, enough to call the police to investigate. A shouting, panicked woman that sounded European, like a recording yet i recall also responded when i shouted. She sounded terified. There was no number redial on the 1471 and police never got back to even though i called the next day. Still spooks me out, but i swear it sounded like the voice on this video.

@Dicknose88 He just didn't know what is SSB, why you're calling him idiot?

@ahedproductions Hey, 73 from Bulgaria and Good DX! I think that are not the Plovdiv-Padarsko antenna arrays, but those of the Russian Woodpecker (Google it for more information). Not sure at all.

@gripsfingers Are you joking?

[maskof]

Not the voice of a woman at all. These are just frequency signals that SOUND like an agitated human voice.

Sounds like Michele Obama grandmother

@mexicub my native language is Russian. I understand some words of what she's saying, like: железнодорожников (railway workers) at about 0:10 and "расписание подписывают" ("they aprove schedule", literally "they sign schedule") at 0:15

[mexicub]

@scpmr It has nothing to do with what you're saying. Where did you get that idea? Don't say you understand her when you have no clue what she is saying. Actually I have no idea what she is saying and you are probably right cause I wouldn't know anyway. Just felt like messing with someone and you got lucky.

[mexicub]

@SWLDXBulgaria Just kidding. I actually have no idea what she is saying. I just made something up. Plus I said Bulgarian because your name has Bulgaria in it.

[SWLDXBulgaria]

@mexicub Bulgarian? Don't think so...

[Bkeytx]

Dont know if she's agitated or not since it sounds like SSB, so?....
