In his monthly report, Fritz writes "Depending on activities certain callsigns are particularly busy for a while. The most active ones in August it were: RCIG, RMGB, RCRE, RFH61, RMDZ, RIQ97, RGZ58, RGL93, RAL59, RFH67, RBIZ, RHV42, RKO81.

The VLF transmissions of VGK (General Staff) on 18.1 kHz have changed skeds again and can normally be heard at H+08, +18, +28, +38 and + 58 in T-600 36/50 Bd mode with short routine messages. The long message block between H+48 and H+55 has been omitted."

Thanks for the update, Fritz.

More observations came from Jim, Trond, Peter and a number of other dxers.
