Ya, if you don't mind Andrew, shoot me a copy of your recording - I have not heard this sequence before with X06, but the style & count are very similar.

There is a 'test' sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) for X06 the tones are as follows:

1 - 840hz
2 - 870hz
3 - 900hz
4 - 930hz
5 - 970hz
6 - 1015hz

I heard this too late last night thanks to a tip in #pirateradio.  I was curious so I went flying around the world via the remote Perseus SDR network.  The signal was non-present on any West coast receivers and was simply overpowering on the European receivers.  Here's a video I uploaded comparing my reception to that of a receiver located in Austria.  You can hear and see the tones on the waterfall display:

So it seems what I caught was just the opening test sequence? This was repeated for several minutes until I gave up and went to bed.

Sealord:
Well, the youtube example Andrew posted had the test sequence; I haven't heard the actual one from last night - the few times I've been lucky enough to catch X06 has been different sequences with the tones.

X06 is one of the hardest spy stations to catch since it doesn't really have an established schedule.

Here's two that I happened upon looking for pirates:

Jolly Roger:
But did anyone else hear the station under it? If the "siren" was weak or not heard at all in parts of the US then the SW station under it should have been heard somewhere other then here. Also, there was CW with the "siren" at the beginning. Not sure what transmission it was part of. It was well sent, probably 15 or 20 seconds, at least 10wpm.

Sealord:
From listening to Andrew's audio file (thnx man :) ), the station under X06 is PeePee Vagina Radio!

Here's a short excerpt from Andrew's recording that he sent me:

You can hear the PVR Op singing his ID to the tune of 'Close Encounters' under X06 (it is the 'test' sequence like the example you posted Andy).

Here's a copy of the audio I caught on my recorder from last night (see my latest PVR log):

You can also hear the Op giving the spoken ID in both examples aside from the song version.

I haven't had a chance to listen all the way through Andrew's mp3 yet - that siren & CW may be somewhere else in the recording that you heard Jolly Roger.
