Numbers station, similar to E07, April 1, 2012

[Token]

A numbers station some are calling the “female E07” (and the format is very much like the numbers station designated E07, except E07 is a male voice) apparently had at least two transmission schedules this morning, April 1, 2012.

1410z, 16332 kHz, USB, callup 253, ID 8776, 27 groups

1510z, 16264 kHz, USB, callup 831, ID 8776, 27 groups
1520z, 14353 kHz, USB, callup 831, ID 8776, 27 groups

The messages in both the 14XXz and 15XXz time slots were identical.  I have recordings for both time slots.  The three transmissions I heard were moderate strength here in California, ranging from S5 to S9.  There were quite possibly transmissions at 1400z, 1420z, and 1500z, that I did not hear.

The voice has an odd sound to it, almost as if there was multipath or aurora on it, but checking a remote in Europe (Austria) yielded a similar sound.

I heard the 1410 transmission, and was surprised at the signal strength. This is certainly one I hope to catch again.

Chris,

The station transmitted this morning on the same sets of freqs, but today instead of voice it used a new digital format I have not heard before.  It started much like XPA, but the actual data looked like a PSK format.

Also was able to find the 1420z freq.

1410z  16332 kHz
1420z  14472 kHz

1510z  16264 kHz
1520z  14353 kHz

The 1400z frequency that has been quoted by others, 18560 kHz, either did not transmit today or propagation did not support it.

I have something on 16332 at 1410 UTC. It sounds like an OM this time, but it is extremely weak.

14472 heard at 1420, also very weak.
