10:37:   " Hotel Golf" . (followed by warble tones)
10:37 .  " Backup 8837"    (checked on the 7700 and 750.  Nothing)

8890 has been known in the past to be used by aviation traffic, although the allocated frequency would be 8891 if you use the 3KHz steps.

8834 is a RDARA frequency in this part of the world (Oceania).

also...

8834 is a HFDL frequency in South Africa.
