X06 logs by Jochen and Gert via ENIGMA 2000.

XP

Several monitors asked me why I hardly mention XP these days. Well, I have very little time to monitor these stations myself and new variants are reported regularly. ENIGMA 2000 covers these stations quite extensively so you can always look for XP info in their newsletters. They can be found on the N&O website. Three of you asked for the tone sequences of each variant. The ENIGMA newsletter #21 mentions the following sequences:
