M08

M08a has a new sked on Saturday at 0500 UTC, 6223 kHz.
(Info Jon-FL)

M10

M10 monitor, Fritz, sent me the following note:

"In week 23 a few scheduled transmissions were omitted and since week 25 I didn't hear a single M10 transmission. Changed to digital mode ??"

Hmmm, another one down the drain or did they indeed change to a digital mode. So far no other modes were detected on the known frequencies.

M12

Fritz also monitors M12 and reports that the station uses some skeds for quite

a long time as the following logs show.

Other June skeds are:

M14

M14 is also still on the air but not as often as it used to be, or is that only my perception?

M21

PVO - Russian Air Defence. Only three frequencies were reported in June.

• Id "0"
  3246.5, 5873  kHz
• Id ?
  3509 kHz

M51

In his monthly report Fritz comments:

"Still very active, possibly around the clock, according to US reports. // frequencies often only a few kHz apart. Sometimes on 3 or even 4 // frequencies, e.g. June 15th on 7713//7938.5//7881 kHz, or big confusion, when the Morse lessons of FAV22 are transmitted on 9316.5 or 6638.5 kHz (May 10 and June 10) instead on 6825//3881 kHz. Recently even faulty preambles (date and time wrong). This is the first time since many years they are operating so lousy."

Thanks for the note, Fritz. The French training stations popped up on the following frequencies and times:

M62

The Slovak Military was not heard since March 26th on 5232 kHz. Now it's back on its old frequency and was heard on 25-6.

Messages are repeated, sender is "ESUC", only this station uses three txt formats: 5LG, 5FG and mixed (two 5LG / one 5FG / two 5LG and so on, txt always hand sent.

M89

L9CC was logged throughout May. No logs received from June.

M89 variant: VVV Q2M de NYZ on 6840 kHz
