Are the Ruskies still using Woodpecker?

Just on a whim (Hadn't done it for years) I have just listened to some short wave radio.

And there it is, pecking away.

Are the Russians still using Woodpecker or is it likely to be more local interference?

I prefer Strongbow myself.

It was decommissioned in the 80s.

What we knew as the Woodpecker has been gone for a long time, you could be getting local QRM (quite likely from a plasma TV) or possibly some OTHR.

So that's how they hacked Brexit and the US election!

Getting access to that array when it was still live and being able to slap some RF up it was such a dream.

These things used to freak me out, that and the lincolnshire poacher etc.

Feek · 17 Apr 2017 at 21:59

The buzzer is still there, 4,625 kHz. I was listening to it just a few days ago.
