Edition # 136, January 2009

Last month we noticed an increased activity of V24 and the assumed South Korean morse station (see N&O 135). The activity was still high in January. We also received reports of a number of unid stations, some were reported earlier. You can see the logs in the Utility Round-up and Voice sections. Somalia is described this month in the Intelligence Profile series. The Russian military logs section is quite large this month. Probably as a result of the Russian naval exercises.
