Interesting Transmission on 40 Meters

An unknown station on 7.020 Mhz transmitting intermittently.  I've heard them before but was never able to capture it for everyone to hear.  Sounds like he's saying "Bonzai" over and over.  Anyone else heard this?  Going out on the HF Bands is like fishing in the ocean.  You never know what you're going to haul in!  LOL!  Enjoy!

    Sounds like a late night and too much sake!

    Probably the JA equivalent of saying "hoooola" to tune your amplifier.

    Hmmmm then I would suggest something more clandestine then.

    Sort of like the Lincolnshire poacher:

    Back in the 80s I listened to number stations when I could catch them on the air.  There were a lot of pirate stations, too.  Always fun to listen into them.  This guy says the same thing over and over.  Those number stations were sending 5 number groups and probably they were using "one time pad" encryption. Pretty much impossible to break unless you have the pad and the same edition. Ah, the good old days!

    No... If you listen to it for any time you will hear several stations sometimes with several "chanters" on the same microphone. I think some Buddhists or some other eastern religion is using SSB for their morning prayers or chants. I have heard several stations simultaneously doing the same thing on different frequencies in the 40 CW sub-band. It is freaky running into them in a CW contest! It seems to be coming from Indonesia. The times line up with the early morning openings to that area.

    That would make sense. And other countries don't have mode limitations that we do.
