Voice stations

E10 - Israeli intelligence

Izumi logged ELB2 on 5230//7605 kHz, on 23 Sept, 1047 UTC. These frequencies carried on other days VLB and VLB2.

An anonymous monitor sent me a list of the unusual E10 messages that he captured during the past year. COE, ELB, KOA and VLD are calls that I haven't seen before. ELB was heard on various frequencies. The list arrived via snail mail without the sender's name or address. Thanks for sending this me, OM. Should you willing to supply more info about times and frequencies, please mail me.

CIO, KPA, MIW, SYN and VLB strings:

Other rare calls:

COE, ELB, ELB2, HNCM, HNCS, HNC1, HNC6, HNC8, HNC9, KOA, PDC, ROVS, VLD, ZWL

E15

I haven't heard this one for quite a while but it seems to be still alive and kicking. The Egypt based station was reported a number of times with call FYP (Frank Young Peter) at 1700 UTC on 14000 kHz.

Probably not related but..... you never know! This was reported on 14000 kHz: Arabic net with operators Aywa, Hassan, Habib, Said and Khalid. Heard between 0700-0915 UTC.

E18

One of our correspondents from the UK told me that E18 is back. It was the first report since May. The station was heard at 2100 UTC on 6545 kHz on Wednesday 12 September. The call, 269, was followed by a short message. Message number 170. This is interesting because the last message that was logged in May carried message number 165. What is the purpose of this station if it only sends one message a month?

V08

Not often reported these days, but the Eastern Music station is still alive. I received two reports of a 1600 UTC transmission at 6645 kHz.

V09 Guangzhou

Takashi Yamaguchi submitted a number of Chinese V09 logs. This station is still very active.

V22 Beijing

Another one from Takashi: Beijing on 8375 kHz with a sked at 1300 UTC.

V24

The South Korean station has a sked at 1400 UTC on 5450//6215 kHz.

Unid Slavic station

Max van Arnhem sez "hi, I'm hearing endless Russian names on 10341 kHz."

The date was 20 September at 2155 UTC. What Max heard was an unid station using a Slavic spelling alphabet with words as Wladimir, Gregory, Dimitri, etc. The groups were read by a male.

Ideas anyone?
