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?”

Was that transmission in Single Side Band without the beat frequency oscillator? That usually happens when you tune a SSB station in AM mode.

That sounds freakishly like the voice of the female ‘lost cosmonaut’… Brr!

@gccengineering1996 I Agree, I think this was in ssb, and the person listening was in AM mode.
