*) The 1400 UTC transmissions have ceased. The last reports are from December 2002.

Takashi logged Cherry Ripe on 24-5 at 1309 UTC on 18864//23461 kHz. The transmission on 23461 kHz stopped abruptly at 1310 UTC. I guess that they discovered that the wrong frequency was being used as 21866 is the fixed frequency for this slot.
