Morse stations

M16

8BY, the French DGSE related station is still very much alive and kicking on 7667, 10248 and 14931 kHz.

M18

M18 is sometimes heard on 4503 kHz. Not often reported these days.

M23

"Hi", says Costas. "Today (16 June) ENIGMA M23 appeared on 20m SSTV calling channel with a null message. Here is the log:

14230 UNID: ENIGMA M23, CW, 1800, rpt "310" for 10 mins then s/off, 16/Jun/2002."

ENIGMA's Mike L comments: "It's been here, on and off, for some time. (See ENIGMA 2000 Newsletter Issue 10) But this one looks like an additional sked. One SSTV pic had "Who is the CW station?" overwritten on it."

This month's M23 reports:

6797.5	0500	555 (R10)
7960	0200	310 (R10)

Igor's his listening post is near the Russian/Mongolian/Chinese border and is perfect to monitor Chinese and other Asian activities. Here is a sample:
