DBLB

Unid station "DBLB" is still on 7583 kHz every day at 1700 UTC. The station appears daily on CW at 1700 UTC exactly, calling "QMXT" who answers on another, yet unknown, frequency. After an exchange of signal reports, he sends "ZZC ZVP K". Then remains off the air while QMXT sends a message. After a couple of minutes, "R", "QTC1 AS" is sent. Then he changes to RTTY (50 bd, 500 c/s shift,"reversed" polarity) and sends his one message, five-figure groups. So far all messages that have been reported have been either 90 or 99 groups. Message headers are of the form "256 90 7 1640 7456". 90 is the number of groups, 7 the date, 1640 the time in UTC; 256 looks like a serial number, but jumps by several hundreds from one day to the next, and what the 7456 group means I have no idea. Another example: "120 99 10 1650 3921"

The station uses the same unorthodox Q signals as FAPSI does (QLP move up, QLR move down, and so on), also "ZZC ZVP" whatever they mean. [ZVP means 'send VVV's' -Ary-]

The call signs (DBLB and QMXT) seem to be static.

Gonets

The three GRU GONETS satellites that I mentioned last month were heard throughout the month. With data blips every 60 seconds. More active when they are over Europe.
