I had a feeling I knew what this was but I just confirmed it. Military Electronic Counter-Counter Measure (ECCM) Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. I don't know if anyone has noticed lately but the lower HF bands are filled up with this crap right now. Even some appear to cross an entire band and overlap everything else. I'm picking this up in North America.
Farsi/Persian-language ciphered transmission — known as Numbers Station "V32" — was received loud and clear in Northern Italy at 18:23 UTC on March 11, 2026, on frequency 7842 kHz.
Numbers stations are shortwave radio transmissions used by intelligence agencies to send coded messages to operatives in foreign countries. V32 has been active throughout the conflict, frequently changing frequencies in response to jamming attempts. Clear reception indicates active intelligence communications despite countermeasures.

Farsi/Persian-language Numbers Station active now on 7842 kHz. As expected, due to heavy jamming on 7910 kHz, the station changed frequency. Received in Milan at 18:14 UTC on March 7, 2026.
For context: Numbers stations are shortwave radio transmissions used by intelligence agencies to send coded messages to operatives in foreign countries. A frequency change under jamming indicates active countermeasures and adaptation — meaning these are live intelligence communications.
