Remarks from your editor:

'Ic' is not a family like the rest. It is a group of various Russian stations.
The Czech families (IX) probably include Slovak stations.
M25 is US intelligence
M43 is a BND/Mossad link
M31 <deleted> are French military stations
M28 is Kantonspolizei Zuerich
M22 is Israeli navy
E15 originates from Egypt
M59 is probably a Greek station
