Russian Long-Range Aviation on 11320 kHz: the autumn daytime frequency
The daytime voice frequency of the autumn set of the Russian Long-Range Aviation net, callsign Stupen. The same coded exchanges as on 8033 kHz, on the band that reaches furthest while the sun is up.
What you hear
Short voice exchanges in Russian: aircraft callsigns, digit groups, the ground answering as Stupen, long silences between. The net, its seasonal sets and the Morse sortie marker are in the main article.
Who transmits and why
11320 kHz is the daytime frequency of the autumn set, used around September and October with 8033 kHz for the evening and 5803 kHz for the night. Most flights are by day, so it is often the busiest of the three. Listening is not prohibited: the net is on the air in plain voice for anyone to receive, the program only receives, and in most countries that is legal; what may be restricted is passing the content on. Know your own country's rules; this is no guarantee.
When and where to listen
From about 07:00 to 16:00 UTC 11320 kHz carries from the Moscow region across Europe, and the ground station is heard well from Finland to Germany; later in autumn the window shortens. In the evening the band closes and the traffic moves to 8033 kHz. Watch the ground CW frequency too: two minutes of W around :00, :20 and :40 means a sortie is up and voice traffic is likely. USB.

Station catalogue → Military → Russian Long-Range Aviation 11320 (autumn, day). The program picks a public receiver with 11320 kHz, tunes it in USB and plays it; nothing of your own is needed. After sunset switch to the 8033 kHz row.
