The channel marker for the Russian military station is nicknamed "The Goose" due to its distinctive sound. It currently operates on 3243 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz at night and on 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz during the day. Before finalizing these frequencies, the station was tested on various others, including 4770 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz.
- History of The Goose**
The Goose began operations on April 11, 2017, initially broadcasting on 4770 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz during the daytime and 3012 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz at night. The daytime frequency underwent several changes over time, while the nighttime frequency remained constant. The changes to the daytime frequency are outlined below:
- April 15, 2017: Changed to 6360 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - April 14, 2018: Changed to 3750 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - June 17, 2018: Changed to 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz
On May 14 and 15, 2019, the station briefly resumed broadcasting on its original frequency, 4770 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz, for both daytime and nighttime, before reverting to the previous combination of 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz during the day and 3012 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz at night. The Alarm station began operations on 4770 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz the following day.
The nighttime frequency was also modified later on. Here are the changes:
- October 29, 2019: Changed to 3162 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - November 16, 2019: Changed to 3243 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz
On March 4, 2020, the daytime frequency briefly switched from 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz to 5360 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz from 0951 to 0954 UTC, before returning to 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz. On December 30, 2022, it operated during the daytime on 4050 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz instead of 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz.
On January 21, 2023, during a moment of technical difficulties when the channel marker was down, the marker for The Alarm could be faintly heard on the channel, suggesting a connection between the two stations.
On April 20, 2024, all stations in The Goose network, including The Goose itself, were turned off. However, The Goose returned on June 27, 2024, broadcasting on the frequencies 4310 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz and 3243 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz. Subsequently, from July 19, 2024, The Goose changed its frequencies multiple times:
- July 19, 2024: Daytime on 6780 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - July 24, 2024: Nighttime on 4110 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - July 25, 2024: Daytime on 6515 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz - August 1, 2024: Daytime on 6222 kHzKiloHertz (kHz) 10^3 Hz
After August 1, 2024, The Goose went off the air and has not been seen since.
