This is not the Vladivostok beacon but a marker from Europe, probably from Gdynia in Poland. The marker has been noted on a number of occasions during the past few years, always on 3 or 4 MHz frequencies. This month the station popped up on 10-12 June. We are still trying to get a fix on the station for a positive identification. Your help is appreciated. |

The above mentioned stations have been around for years. Although not confirmed (yet) it is believed that this is a Chinese naval network. Extensive direction finding activities have pinpointed the transmitter sites near Guangzhou, Qingdao and the Dalian/Lushan areas. These areas strengthen the impression that the navy is involved. Qingdao is the HQ of China's North Sea Fleet, while Lushan is another major base of the North Sea Fleet and Dalian is one of the largest training facilities of the navy. Guangzhou is one of the largest bases of the South Sea Fleet.
L9CC, NH8T, 2SLC seem to originate from the Dalian/Lushan area; 4XML from Qingdao and L4FC from Guanghzou. It is however quite possible that all callsigns are being transmitted via all stations. We cannot ignore the possibility that there are more transmitter sites than these three.

There seems to be a pattern, at least the first two Thursdays of every other month at 1100, 1300 and 2100 UTC.

It seems that the station has a great liking for a 14x77 frequency.
