Former USSR channel marker/beacon stations:

B  Arkhangelsk
C  Moscow
F  Gdynia (Poland)
H  Unknown
O  Moscow
P  Kaliningrad
R  Izhevsk
S  Arkhangelsk
T  Unknown
U  Kholmsk
W Havana (Cuba)
X  Prague (Czech)

All of the above have virtually closed down since the demise of the former USSR, or maybe they are just "sleeping"? 8)

Due to excessive noise on higher end of 4MHz no 4.557-4.558MHz beacons logged.

List updated 16th November 2021.

Mystery of Petropavlovsk "K" with the added "A" after five lots of "K" sent, defective transmitter.  Information in separate posting in the Beacon section... :D

This morning I heard "I" on 5.154.8MHz CW in the period 1500-1630z.

One of the unidentified beacons/markers that appear out of nowhere from time to time, hasn't been heard for over three years this one.

Location not known, but presumed to be a Russian single letter beacon or marker, or Russian army rather than naval.

"I" was last heard in Europe on 3.814.8MHz CW and 12.149.5MHz CW.

Meanwhile on 8.459MHz CW "A" Astrakhan and "K" Petropavlovsk were both in for hours with Astrakhan the stronger peaking 579 report.

5153.7 kHz  CW "D"
5156.8 kHz  CW  "F"   

around 03:15 UTC, 21 October 2017

My first of F on 5 MHz, it operates a couple of kHz higher than the rest of the cluster.

Tonight at 20:00 UTC, the beacon on 5156.8 sends again "L", as usual.

5156.8 kHz - 2151z - drowned by signal that appears to be a jammer operating in Western Europe. Jammer sound heard over very large geographic area and on completely different types of receiver and aerial. Beacon occasionally breaks through loud and clear.

Jammer nearly continuous but with periodic break in transmission approximately every 14 seconds for 1 second.

Late last night I heard "T" on 8.495.0MHz CW peaking 559, a new one, it was last heard on 6.934MHz CW a few years back, location unknown.

At first I thought it was one of the regulars with a miss key fault but also heard "A" Astrakhan at 1146z, "M" Magadan at 1136z, and "K" Petyropavlovsk at 1106z all working OK.

Every now and again a mystery unlisted one appears... :D
