New XP variant?

Yet another(?) XP variant popped up recently. The id consists of a two-tone signal, transmitted for ca 2 minutes. This is interesting because the id of the other XP stations consists of three tones, each representing the 100 kHz digit of the frequencies that are being used for the transmissions. If the id of this station also would represent the schedule, then it would mean that its schedule is limited to two frequencies. However...... the station uses three frequencies, just like the other ones.

We have no info about its current schedules. The following frequencies were used in the past: 18332, 18247, 17467, 17442, 17413, 16373 kHz. Usual schedule: H00, H15, H30, H45 in various combinations but always on three consecutive times and on different frequencies.

This variant is using 20 tone frequencies, but for data transmissions only 16.

There is a sample on the N&O website. Note that the sample has an offset of 1 kHz and the callup was shortened.

It goes without saying that all reports are most welcome.

• XSW:
  3828.9 kHz, Squeaky Wheel
• S28:
  4625 kHz, Buzzer
• S30:
  3756 and its harmonic 7512 kHz
  Pip
• XM:
  10373, 10512 kHz.
