"M" = Magadan , Sea of Okhotsk, Far East

"F"  = Vladisvostok, Far East, Sea of Japan

"D"  = Sevastapol, Ukraine, Black Sea.

Here in Australia the most regular is Magadan and Astrakhan ("A") in the summer "F" is most common. 

Yes, "D" Sevastapol is a regular here too on 10MHz just after Grey Line in our evenings.

I wonder if they all run the same transmitter power? One of the more elusive ones is "V" Khiva, Xorazm region of Uzbekistan. :D

Haven't heard "S" for quite a few months on higher bands, used to a regular there, maybe it's been off air like "A" Astrakhan was or propagation seasonal change has brought it back into favour.

"S"  Severomorsk, Kola Bay, Murmansk Region, Russia.

Last heard:

15th May 2017          7.508.8MHz    CW  1942z  559 report.
