Utility round-up

Turkish numbers

On 7 Feb. I got a note from Max in which he told me that the Turkish numbers station on 5470 kHz was on the air again.

The station belongs to the Turkish Army and has no regular schedule. It regularly appears around 2200 UTC on 5470 kHz with 5FG messages. I heard the station also around 1900 UTC.

Turkish Army stations can be found on 5470, 5690, 7556.5, 8167, 11020 and 11087 kHz.

I have a sound sample available on the N&O website.

Mystery "" Morse station

Jim logged this mystery station on two occasions. No idea who or what this is. It looks like the "" is being used as separative just like PVO uses "?".

Could this station be related to PVO???
