Tail Ending possible? Vietnamese Numbers Station 10255 kHz USB

I have been reading about this one in another group that I am in.

Credit goes to "original-token" and others for finding and analizing this
signal.

I have here San Luis Obispo, California:

RCVR: DX-396 Not SSB capable; but wide passband
About 1600 UTC commences with male voice counting numbers in what
is evidently Vietnamese. I have listened to audio files of this so I am
pretty confident of the I.D.

Solid signal. I have no expertise on this; wanted to list it so others can
monitor also.

Try:  10255 kHz USB About 1600 UTC

Sealord:
I'll have to try to see if I have better luck with this station - I tried catching V24 with no trace of a signal whatsoever, but maybe this frequency/time slot is better for East coasters like myself.  Thanks for the info :)

Very new to this one myself. I get so excited takes me a while to settle down.
I only listened for about 5 minutes, evidently goes on longer.

I suspect you will have better luck with this signal than V24. Imagine a line
running from S. Korea to Japan to San Luis Obispo, Cal and then through
Mohave, Cal.; that will give you a rough idea of V24's usual trajectory. My
guess it is a directional antenna that is in use. Spring and Fall DX Season;
and also, times of Grey Line Enhancement might provide oportunities to
catch V24. Heard here most mornings.

I do not have the expertise regarding this new signal. But higher frequency
should propagate better than V24, may be more omni-directional than V24,
and is SSB. Both of these signals are primarily seawater circuits which
helps a lot for HF.

Good Hunting

Here San Luis Obispo, California I have:

Vietnamese Numbers Station- alleged

10,255 kHz USB  1558-1612 UTC March 19  2010
fair to good signal

Again I am not SSB capable. I suppose I could cobble together a BFO,
or dig up another RCVR for a beat note. However, I am reasonably
confident of I.D. based upon audio files and format.
If anybody would verify my observations, or make a fool of me- I'd
appreciate it.

Sounded like two messages of 5f groups- could have been more after
1612 UTC.

Final note on V24.
I have been curious to get an idea of how much this signal spreads to
the North and South of this QTH. I never heard this signal in San Diego-
to the South and did not want to pester the Brass Pounders to the North
up at KPH. I am working at my "Terminal" speed of 30 wpm- maybe someday.
VVV AR VY 73 TNX SK ..

Those who have been doing the speculation and analysis of this signal-
Please keep up the good work.

10255 kHz USB

I was going to report "Nothing Doing";however, around 1621 UTC I did
observe a poor- barely discernible signal. Wait and see on this one.

Better luck with V24, I have:
V24  5715 kHz  1500-1506 UTC  Fair signal through noise
Music followed by Female counting 5 number groups 3/2 pattern
repeats with 2/3 pattern

V24  6215 kHz  1600-? (coffee refill)
Fair to good signal  4 number groups  2/2 pattern

V24  6730 kHz  1620-1630 UTC  Good Signal
5 number groups  3/2 pattern repeats with 2/3 pattern

I tend to be casual; fair to say, I missed several V24 transmissions
this morning.

On the subject of KPH, If you are interested in an operational Coastal
Maritime Station, Morse Code, Radio in general- Google KPH. I
highly recommend it.

I participated in the 100 year aniversary "Night of Nights" a couple
of years ago and have the verification. I used a MFJ Regenerative
Receiver. Say what you might about MFJ, I had fun building and
useing this Radio- I could use it now.
