What am I hearing on 17326 USB?
 

It's a female voice in a mix of English and Spanish repeating a message
of some kind, including some numbers. The message begins with "This is
El Dia Radio"....or something like that, though it's hard to make out
what she's saying because of her accent. Signal is quite strong.
Thanks!

It's Olympia Radio out of Greece. It's a coastal radio station, providing
service to ships.

The Greek ID is something like this: Edo Olympia Radio. In English she ID's as
"This is Olympia Radio.

She is giving the channel numbers they operate on.

I should have mentioned the time. I'm hearing it now at 1550 utc.

17326 is Channel# 1629, which she mentions.

Okay....thanks. A couple of minutes ago a man's voice came on and the
broadcast ended. I'll check back for it later to see if it's back on.

Ace, how good are the Greek stations at QSL-ing??
I'd e-mailed a report on a Voice of Greece broadcast
(the entire two hours worth) a couple of months ago
at the same time I sent a report to Radio Slovakia,
and Slovakia sent me a QSL within three weeks, but
I've still seen nothing from VoG.

I've seen nothing back in the QSL reports in recent months for VoG. You might
try a report via snail mail.

If you are simply looking for a QSL from Greece you might try QSL'ing one of the
VOA broadcasts via Greece.

I have succesfully QSLed Olympia Radio coastal stations around last
year or so :-)

I've heard Olympia Radio recently: November 24, 06:48 UTC, on 8776 kHz USB,
with the ID stuff you mentioned, along with the channels they operate on:

Channel 806 = 8734 kHz
Channel 1232 = 12595 kHz
Channel 1629 = 16820.5 kHz
Channel 1640 = 16826 kHz
Channel 2210
Channel 2217

Judging from the channel numbers and frequencies you gave, I'm guessing
that channels 2210 and 2217 would be up around 22 Mhz somewhere. That
probably wouldn't be heard too well in North America (or New Zealand),
but maybe somebody in Europe can tune around up there and confirm this?

I don't think those channel frequencies are correct... for example, one of the
channel numbers, 1629, given this morning, is the frequency we were listening on
(17326).

Please see: http://www.naval.com/hf-freq.htm for the correct channel pairings.

Oops! I was reading a rather old version of Confidential Frequency List!

Of course, you're right, wrong frequencies. I have an electronic copy of a
document with the correct frequency pairing and it correlates with the URL
you gave, thanks.

So I should have said:
Channel 806: Coast= 8734 kHz, Ship= 8210 kHz
Channel 1232: Coast= 13170 kHz, Ship= 12323 kHz
Channel 1629: Coast= 17326 kHz, Ship= 16444 kHz
Channel 1640: Coast= 17359 kHz, Ship= 16477 kHz
Channel 2210: Coast= 22723 kHz, Ship= 22027 kHz
Channel 2217: Coast= 22744 kHz, Ship= 22048 kHz

I thought you might have an old list. What is the date of that CFL?

I can't recall offhand when the channel pairings were changed, but it seems as
though it was done after some WARC (World Administrative Radio Conference) some
years back. I guess I should have saved my old copies of the CFL.
