"This station sends numerical strings with short 0. One type of string is "9 283 7110 468 36" where 9 is the type of the string, 7110 is the sender's id (does not change) and 36 the minute past the hour. 283 and 468 (these string change) are the content. Other type of string starts with "33", like: "33 69610 7110 415 34" or "33 28511 7110 418 32". Again the last two digits are the minute past the hour. The spaces are my addition for clarity, the code sent is somewhat irregular in terms of word separation. Your help to identify this station is most welcome.
