"hello and welcome to the CB repeater located near Cologne - 27225 megahertz (I think - I could be wrong about the input, not sure if they said 27.225 MHz, 27.275 MHz...or another frequency), output 26.815 megahertz you need the CTCSS tone on the input channel" (in German and then in English) at 2030 UTC, heard on 26.815 MHz (German CB Channel 66). 

I believe the CTCSS tone is 77.0 Hz.  The voice ID was first in German, and then in English.  Very nice and clear signal, basically full quieting.

Received locally (Richmond Virginia) using my PNI Escort HP 82 handheld CB transceiver CB walkie talkie with the radio set to DE mode (German 80 channel mode, which works great, because Channels 1-40 are identical to the U.S. FCC band plan channels 1-40 and the European CE/EU/CEPT band plan mid band channels, both AM and FM being legal on channels 1-40.  Channels 41-80 are the German channels 41-80, FM mode only, 26.565 MHz to 26.955 MHz in straight 10 kHz sequence (no skipped channels at 26.595 MHz / 26.645 MHz / 26.695 MHz / 26.745 MHz and no out of sequence numbering for 26.775 MHz / 26.805 MHz / 26.785 MHz / 26.795 MHz).

Put the frequency in my R-75 yesterday and eagerly awaited an opening to DE land.

This morning, looks like an OTHR has set up shop on ~26810KHz and is currently wiping out 10KHz either side of center.

Also heard quite a bit of ALE activity there last night - west coast USA I presume.
