I received a schedule from Manolis of the period 10-22 March. He says that there were possibly more transmissions but because the stations sometimes starts too early or very late, you can easily miss a transmission. Thanks Manolis!

E25

Joerg reports via Enigma 2000 that he has copied E25 a number of times during March.

06-3 1245 UTC 9450 kHz 785-51 null msg, no music
12-3 1238 UTC 9450 kHz in progress
  1333 UTC 9450 kHz 906 msg repeat ... EoM EoT, no music intro, good signal, no QRM
13-3 1230 UTC 9450 kHz 555 msg ... EoM 557 10 EoT
13-3 1330 UTC 9450 kHz 906 msg ... EoM EoT 481 EoM 905 13, msg was repeat from Mar 12th 1330

 

Joerg says

"The 1330 Sunday transmission was a repeat from Saturday (compared all groups). This one could be received in good quality. Maybe the 1230 transmission is also a repeat. In the last log 481 EoM 905 13 was said only once before the carrier was switched off. No music. If you compare with logs in the last E2K NL you see that 557 and 905 were already used."

Other E25 logs come from Tom who heard the station on 24-3 at 1330 UTC calling "960" for 3 minutes followed by "Message" and then into numbers

2481 5210 0755 4888 4875 5186 7397 2924 1676
2283 0373 2420 1787 8323 6716 3056 5210 7662
Repeat repeat repeat
2481 5210 0755 4888 4875 5186 7397 2924 1676
2283 0373 2420 1787 8323 6716 3056 5210 7662
End of msg end of transmission

Tom also logged a transmission on 22-3 at 1200 UTC on 9450 kHz. Tom says that the Arabic music stopped and a live announcer started reading "222" for about 5 minutes followed by "Message, Message" and into 4FGs:

3521 3190 8110 2075 3592 7299 5039 6144 8110
Repeat repeat repeat
3521 3190 8110 2075 3592 7299 5039 6144 8110

The message was repeated on 23-3 at 1344 UTC and logged by Chris whoalso copied an earlier transmission at 1330 UTC.

1330 UTC: Calling "906" several times followed by 3x "Message" and then 4FGs:
3481 5210 0755 4888 4875 5186 7397 2924 1676
2283 0373 2420 1787 8323 6716 3056 5210 7662
Repeat repeat repeat
etc

 

Notes:
No Music intro; fair to strong signal strength, about S7-S9; 18 grp msg; carrier never went down, it was on during the 6-minute intermission between transmissions.

1344 UTC: Music Intro followed by "222" and 3x "Message", then 4FGs:
3521 3190 3110 2075 3529 7299 5039 6144 8110
Repeat repeat repeat
etc

 

"E25 made its appearance on 25-3 at 1246z" reports Manolis. "Calling 785 58 59, no message, ended 1248z."

On 27 March, Tom reports the station at 1326 UTC. Tom says

"The usual live announcer came on and read the ID's for about 5 minutes before a quick sign off. 909 23 24 905 25"

V13

Kurt heard New Star on 8300 kHz at 1322 UTC on 2 March. Nice catch, Kurt. The station has not been reported for a while. Good to know that it is still alive and kicking.
