Channelmarkers [MX]

A old timer 'A' is still around and often heard during the night in the far east on 3195 kHz.
R also on 3195 kHz is most of the times audible in both Europe and the far east. Also on 3322, 4325 and 5466 kHz in Europe.
C was back for a short period on all known cluster freqs.
S was back for a short period on all known cluster freqs.
V sending non-stop Vs over and over on 3658 kHz. Good audible during the east Asian night. V stations on 4575, 4646, 4878 and 7002 kHz were silent.
K heard on 5154 kHz. K station is a dirty slow-keying CW with a distinctive hum.
H another oldie that hasn't been logged for many years, now loud and clear during the European evenings on 7064.4 kHz. Its appearance coincides with the Murmansk submarine tragedy. Related????
