"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:

06th December 2016 10.871.9MHz  CW  0955z  529 report.
15th May 2017          7.508.8MHz    CW  1942z  559 report.

"P" still strong on 10871.8KHz at 0405UTC, along with "S" and another that looks to be "C".


ARGO capture of the three:
