Unknown shortwave station

There is no international radio section, so I'm posting here. I heard a shortwave station broadcasting info about radio stations and their call signs. Do you know which station that is?

What frequency and at what time?

I think it's 41 or 31

Still not much to work with there. What language was the station broadcasting in? What time did you hear it? What is your location? Can you possibly narrow the frequency down to whether it was closer to the 7 or closer to the 9? If it was at all close to the 9, it almost certainly was on 31 meters, because 8 to 9 MHz is not used by broadcasters.

That tells me nothing, since I have no idea what radio you're using.

If you're going to report stations you heard, you have to make sure that you hear the name of the station, the date and time you heard it, the language, and at least the frequency band you heard it on. 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, or 17 MHz is OK, but the meter band (49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19, or 16 meters, respectively) is better. An exact frequency is not necessary if you don't have the capability of reading it, but the band is mandatory. We can look up the rest if necessary.

I had to learn this decades ago, when I first started listening to shortwave as a kid, on my folks' AM/FM/SW radio. It had "SW1" (4-12 MHz) and "SW2" (12-30 MHz). It was up to me to log the station as accurately as I could, and the bands were emphasized on the dial. If you wish to pursue the SWL hobby, I strongly suggest you get a receiver with digital tuning. It does come in handy.

BTW, there is a DX board here, and that is where these types of posts go. Good luck listening.
 
I'm wondering if this was "Supreme Master TV" broadcasting on one of the WRMI Frequencies in the 7 or 9 mhz bands.. they have been known to rattle through all of the the darn places you can hear and see them, which is a massive list

Next time, we need way more information to nail this down for sure.

As I said above, i think this really could be "Supreme Master TV" broadcasting on one of the WRMI Frequencies in the 7 or 9 mhz bands.. they have been known to rattle through all of the the darn places you can hear and see them, which is a massive list
