CAREFUL, ADULT LANGUAGE
Direct mp4 download or play: Ham Radio Jammers 5-24-2017
Finally, I’m starting to have somewhat better shortwave reception on my software defined radio. Here we have some foul-mouthed hams going at it on 3840 kilohertz, lower sideband.

On a technical note, I do hate to be a pain – and feel free to tell me “no, there isn’t, tough darts” in response – but is there any way you can make these files that you post as mp4 video grabs also downloadable as mp3 audio? I’m sure there’s something I’m just not figuring out, but I can’t seem to manage to convert them.
The years may have changed, but the jammer mentality stays the same. I have to download that program you’re using.
Found the site!
Leona, for starters I’m assuming you’re not having trouble with my audio only posts. Now for the video files that you would like audio only, there are several free programs that convert mp4(and other video formats) to the audio file format of your choice. I personally recommend using VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) media player. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. Search “how to use VLC player to convert video to audio.” I hope that helps!
Dillon, I’m not sure what you mean. I’m guessing maybe you mean “K6MWT 147.4350 MHz Los Angeles Renegade Repeater.” Here’s a link to listen live online: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/14747
Be warned there can be a lot of adult language!
Silly me had thought you downloaded a program that played ham radio, but then i remembered the site you had shown us that you use to tune in different channels. I was on last night being entertained by various radio noise, bleeps and blips and static with audio bleeding through.
Actually what you’re seeing in the video is a program called SDR Uno which runs my “radio in the computer.” That sound is what I’m receiving here in Seattle. The hardware is a black box called SDRplay – RSP2. The link I gave you is a live stream from the Los Angeles area of a particularly notorious group of amateur radio operators. Some may have been known to call in to “Over The Edge.”
D’oh! how ignorant am I? I have and use VLC, but I never knew it had converting options in it. I only got it to begin with because this version of Windows I have won’t play DVDs. Have had it for a while, but never really examined it too closely. But after your tip, found and figured it out immediately. I can probably use it for several other troublesome files I have too, so many thanks!
I’m glad that’s working for you! Make sure you have the latest version of VLC. I think it’s up to 2.26. Also if you’re interested go to codecs dot com. and search “audio – video converter. There are lots of software choices. I’ve used Pazera Free Audio Extractor quite successfully.
Wow! To be honest, I wasn’t sure if the ham radio system was still being used! So, to hear what it’s like these days, compared to the late 80s and early 90s (like the samples on Negativland’s U2) I will have to check out that website! By the way, I was just listening to the Over The Edge Volume 6 (Stupid Show) CD, and some of those samples fascinated me! We hope you will upload the unedited version of Suka-Brand Coffee soon! Those bits actually sounded like commercials, but then all of a sudden you hear references to seatbeesate and such, and those just sound like really nifty tapes!
Hello Weatherman! I am writing you because, having been weaned on your various boops and parakeet feathers growing up in Concord, I somehow find myself a behavioral scientist beginning to study human-robot interaction and have received a federal grant to purchase a fairly elaborate anthropomorphic robotic system that is 5′ 9″ in height and exquisitely customizable. It is a social robot (“RoboThespian”). The face and voice can be customized. I think perhaps you might want a simulacrum of yourself to dwell within this robot. At least, I would like this. It could look, sound, and even move like you if properly calibrated. Of course, the primary function of the robot will be *very serious research* (true!) but there is no reason it can’t also have your face and manner enshrined in it on the side, just for the halibut. Just for the Willsabot? If you are interested, feel free to contact me. (Also, apologies for posting an off-topic comment here, just couldn’t sort out a better way to reach you.)
I don’t know if you know of the group, The Residents.For years and years no one knew them by name, face or otherwise. Recently, i guess a year or two they started going by names, and the singing rez, Randy I think he calls himself now, makes youtube vids, and shockingly has a potty mouth. Its weird to hear him swear, much like it would be weird to hear you swear David. I dunno, gotta go with the times I suppose. Just weird that they go by names now.
Sorry to go off topic there David. 🙂
Late to the party, but have to admit I’m rather shocked to know that jammers are still up to these hijinks even now. I have to wonder if anything goes on in my area.
In reply to Not So Anonymous, yes, they are still there, playing tape loops of themselves, other hams, sound effects and so forth. I once heard a baby crying sound effect for quite a while, and a track by Aphex Twin on this frequency. Sometimes it sounds very similar to Over the Edge. I have an SDR and software similar to the Weatherman’s set-up, and they’re still going at it on 3840 kHz, LSB. I have hours of recordings like this, without the video, that I need to edit someday. Some of it is hilarious.
I think comments like this are wrong and bad and certainly outside of the norm and something that neither I or my friends would be willing to support at this juncture. Possible solutions include Windex and possibly getting out the 409 to clean it up and keep it clean.
Shoes for Industry, comrade.
The weaker signal with the higher voice at the beginning is Noel Berman (NO6EL), Mr. Gravel Voice might be Steve Wingate (ex-K6TXH), the other guy rambling about Trump is a 3840 “regular.” Other regulars are Tim Volz (KK7HO) and the infamous Billy Crowell (W6WBJ), multi-year jammer of the WARFA net on the same band every Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. 3840 is the remnants of the people who used to jam a net Art Bell used to run on 3845 kHz; Crowell has it out for the guy who runs the WARFA net because he used to talk to Bell years ago. Ham radio drama goes on for YEARS.
Why do you say that I’m “infamous”? Oh, let me guess: you believe all the purple Kool-Aid put out about me by the FCC and the ARRL. Wow, it must be terrible not to be able to think independently! So do you find that I have ever faced any criminal charges, whether felony or misdemeanor? No. I’m a graduate of U.C. Berkeley and Hastings College of the Law. I passed the bar exam on my first try. I practiced law for 38 years and was never disciplined by the state bar in any fashion. Does that sound like I’m “infamous”? See any incongruity here? Why would you believe anyone who claims to represent the interests of amateur operators, as the ARRL claims to do, while at the same time falsely telling amateurs that they don’t have free-speech rights on the air? Clearly your powers of analysis are deficient. Learn to think before you write.
What the heck did you just hecking say about me, K6UAA? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the 4H, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Art Bell and I have over 300 confirmed hamjams. I am trained in hearing aid battery replacement and I’m the top jammer in the entire solar system. You are nothing to me but just another hot date at the park n’ ride gloryhole. I will wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my hecking words. You think you can get away with saying that stuff to me over the 11 meter band? Think again, dummy. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of rest-stop jackofficers across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re hecking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my dipole antenna. Not only am I extensively trained in furious masturbation, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the American Radio Relay League and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable stamper off the face of the continent, you little dummy. If only you could have known what unwholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your hecking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goshdarn dummy. As soon as I have paid the Twenty-Five THOUSAND DOLLARS I owe the FCC for violations I will defficate fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re hecking dead, KUA66.
