E06

Hans-Friedrich noted that E06 transmitted the same message on 22 Nov. on 16343/17440 and 13880/14910 but they were not synchronized.

1416 UTC	16343 kHz	ip, ends w/ 579 128
1424 UTC	17440 kHz	ip, ends w/ 579 128

1500 UTC	13880 kHz	306:579/128=32146
1500 UTC	14910 kHz	428:579/128=32146

E10

ABC was reportedly on 6428 and 13999 kHz on 9 November. This one hasn't been heard in the past few months. I'm glad that it's still alive.

S17C

AF writes that S17c has changed its frequency. His last log for 8190//5301 kHz was:

2003-10-29	1250	-	1257	8190	usb s17c extremely weak
2003-10-29	1250	-	1257	5301	extremely weak

On 8 November the station was heard on 9165 kHz from 1250-1257 with a good signal. The 2nd frequency has not been found yet.

V02 / M08

A dxer from Northeast PA writes to ENIGMA that M08 and V02 were mixing again as of 0320 UTC on 4 November.

See also Newsletter 71 for more about M08a and Newsletter 74 for more about V02.

V21

The Cuban military station a.k.a. "the Babbler" is another one that we missed here for a while. Chris found it transmitting on it's usual frequency 6529 kHz.
