M16

8BY seems to have vanished. It has not been heard since late August.

Where is 8BY? Did it leave HF, or did it switch to a new mode? All the known frequencies are silent, though. No CW and no other modes have been reported.

Please keep your ears open and let me know if you find 8BY again. The station used the following set of freqs:
7668, 10248, 12075, 14931, 18415 and 20946 kHz.

M21

Russian Air Defence is still active although we receive less reports than in the past.

M21 variant "PSNN" can be found on 3301 kHz.

M87

Igor jotted down a couple of lengthy transcript of M87.

• Observed at 1402 UTC on 5 Dec, 7263 kHz.
