Possibly Khiva in Xorazm region of Uzbekistan, still part of the Russian single letter naval markers or cluster beacons.  Pops up on unassigned frequencies quite often.
Condobolin, NSW.

Grid Square:  QF37ub

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.
