Yesterday (29 FEB) I only was able to copy one broadcast, which repeated the number sets of the previous day (28 FEB). Here we have a progression of three days. Please see the Feb 2024 HM01 thread to see which files were sent with the first five number groups: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,125117.0.html

See entry for 27 FEB 2024 here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,125117.msg390094.html#msg390094
NOTE, Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday schedule continues to use 13435 AM for 2100 UTC and 14375 AM for 2200 UTC. It seems safe to say that this is the actual schedule now, rather than 16180 and 17480 respectively, which were used for many years. As far as my observations go, that seems to be the only schedule change, aside from the more significant one where 0500 UTC timeslot is now the one where HM01 progresses from the previous day's transmissions.

***REPEATING TRANSMISSION PREVIOUSLY SENT ON 28 FEB 2024***
See here for 28 FEB log: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,125117.msg390233.html#msg390233
This makes for a normal progression from yesterday, which was also a repeat of what was sent 27 FEB.

This is a two-day progression from 06 MAR, which itself was a repeat of the 28 FEB transmission. However, it's not a repeat of 01 MAR (keeping in mind that this is a leap year, so 01 MAR is two days later than 28 FEB). It's getting tricky trying to keep track of the scheduling anomalies HM01 is experiencing in regards to its day to day transmissions, but it's more interesting than repetitions that last for months.

I made SDR recordings for all the scheduled times and frequencies for the overnight (North American time) broadcasts. THE FOLLOWING IS A REPEAT OF 06 MARCH 2024's NUMBERS, which itself was a repeat of 28 FEBRUARY's as noted above.

This is both a normal progression from yesterday's broadcast as well as the first transmission that isn't a repeat of one sent in the recent past since 04 March.
HM01 was not copied on any of its usual frequencies at 0500, 0600, 0700, or 0800, and was only very weakly received during the 0900 hour at 11462 kHz.
EDIT, same number sets copied at 2200 UTC hourly transmission on 14375 kHz for 12 MAR.

Normal progression from yesterday. For now it seems that HM01 is back on track.
EDIT as of 2153 it has appeared at 14335 kHz inside the 20m amateur band rather than the now-usual frequency of 14375. This following it's now-usual transmission at 2100 UTC at 13435 kHz for Tu, Th, & Sa.

Signals for 0500-1000 UTC were all uniformly weak, and in fact there was no transmission in the 1000 hour at all, nor were any signals found for the remainder of the day at their presumed times and frequencies. So while I was able to hear the numbers, no digital files were decoded.

There were no transmissions 0500-1000 UTC on any of the expected frequencies.

24 MAR 2024 (Sun), 0500 UTC, 10860 kHz
This is a three day progression from Friday 22 MAR, so either yesterday saw a two day leap (which I don't know since I copied nothing at all that day) or today did.

This is a two-day progression from yesterday.
Technical note: Because of the late (or early) hours of the 0500-1000 UTC transmission, I program my SDR to record each of them in order to ensure that all number sets and files can be copied over the time frame. This is often in doubt because of Cuba's well known technical issues regarding their shortwave transmissions, and in fact it was only a few days prior that I couldn't pull out a single file because the signal was poor. Obviously propagation is a factor, but so is the unreliability of Cuba in which scheduled broadcasts don't happen when they're supposed to, starting late, finishing early, not changing frequencies at expected times, etc. I've only been casually following HM01's scheduled daytime transmissions (1600-1800 and 2100-2200z) ever since they switched their "new day" from 1600z to 0500z, but there have been days were no broadcasts on any of their frequencies at those times.
However, today all six frequencies were very strong (the one on 9330 overwhelming WBCQ's flamethrower almost completely) and timely. It was as if everything*, whatever was wrong, is now fixed. It still starts a few minutes ahead of the hour (about 5 minutes) but otherwise they were about as reliable as you'd expect Russia's numbers stations to be. I'm going to see if that holds for their daytime broadcasts.
*almost everything. As noted, today's number sets advanced by two rather than one.

This is an exact repeat of yesterday's numbers, which had been a two-day progression compared to the previous day. Let's hope that this is just a schedule correction and not the first of possibly hundreds of repeat days, as has plagued HM01 in recent years.

The one old number group shows a progression of +6 from those sent 0500-1000 UTC. I did not check out the 1600-1800 UTC transmissions because they were too weak to even hear the Cuban lady.
