4XZ was on the same frequencies as last month, at least on the lower three frequencies (5200, 5500, 7000 kHz). Always heard on 7500 kHz. The 20956 kHz transmission has not been reported.

Fritz writes

"This station developed a strange behaviour, as it changes one or more of its standard frequencies 2680, 4331 and 6379 kHz to 2679, 4330 and 6380 kHz for one or several days. No idea why, but this is not typical for a Navy station ....."
