Guy Denman remarks:

Hi All,
I have noticed particularly with Morse Stations, that they are coming up on the same frequency as 1 year ago in 1997. It does not apply to all families, but so far I have seen it with M1B, M3,M12, and M13. M3 is even sending the same message as it sent a year ago. It might be worth checking your logs of voice stations to see if they are doing the same. I have not heard anything at all of G2 this week. It is one of those funny weeks, week 5 of May. I will have another listen next week as that will be week 1 of June.

From Tom Sevart:

Hey gang,
The mystery station P7X is back, this time on 5879.5 with its usual 120 grp 5L msgs interspersed with data xmissions. I logged P7X on 4439.5 a couple weeks ago. I think it may possibly be working parallel on both freqs, but I don't hear it on 4439.5 at the moment.
