The babbler [V21]

John Maky checks in with a nice report. He says: « I was searching through Fort Chaffee low-band frequencies. I stumbled onto what sounds remarkably like a "Babbler" (V21) transmission on 30.220 kHz NBFM at 1900 UTC. »

Chinese numbers station '728'

Another one from Igor. The soundfile can also be downloaded from the N&O homepage. Igor did catch 6 transmissions from '728' to '316' on 7 August. Each transmission consisted of 11 4fgs but the messages were different. Frequencies and times: 14452 (0100), 15008 (0200), 16280 (0300), 16342 (1300), 14690 (1400), and 12784 (1500).

S06

The good Captain Davros found a S06 on 5870 at 2000 UTC, 6 August, "mature" voice, "D-va", "noll" x 5 ending. Lasted about 15 mins.

Unid slavic (Polish???) stations

The unid Slavic numbers on 7019 kHz AM at 1103 UTC every Thursday that I mentioned a couple of months ago, seems to transmit in Polish according to Iso, our friend in central Europe.

The transmissions consist of a 3FGs call, followed by 5FGs read by an OM. Any clues???
