Using radio intercepts to track a Russian Ship

Fascinating stuff (and old hat to some):

That’s great; now they know that we know!

Oh it works both ways. They spy on you as much as you spy on them (or v.v.)
The “Cat & Mouse Game” between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces went on from their inception and until the Soviet collapse.

That it is going on now, but with more sophisticated means than described here, should be no surprise to anybody. You cannot hide a large surface ship from determined observers, much less a Carrier Group.

My Father tracked Russian microbrusts from subs at Two Rock Ranch Station in the early 1950s. Reported to be NSA predesseor except Dad never talked about it other than if he told us more he would break big rocks into little rocks after Leavenworth.

This looks like private individuals using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), not government spies.

Precisely.

It’s fairly easy to do even if you don’t have radio equipment or advanced knowledge. My friends over at HRCC (who interviewed me about GMDSS stations during covid) have a youtube video that walks you through using http://kiwisdr.com to triangulate signals.
