"XSG" located in Shanghai, China, when not sending data it sends callsign in CW preceded by "buzz tones", good catch Corvus.

XSG and its mates are scattered between 4 to 16MHz.

XSG also sends marine traffic in CW and sometimes what people refer to as "spy traffic" from time to time.  ;)

Yaesu FT-1000D, Yaesu FT-2000D, ICOM IC-736 HF/50MHz, ICOM IC R75 & Tecsun S-2000 to 450 feet of wire, 27MHz 1/2 wave CB antenna converted to 21MHz & a multi band vertical of dubious reliability.
