22 May 2019  11530 at 1800 with repeat of numbers of February 22
18253 65311 55104 83886 28556 23037

There was no transmission on usual 11635 frequency for this time slot.
Signal about s7 with QSB in Oklahoma...way down from usual 59+.

They came up on 11635 at 1821 with the above traffic.  They were having problems, restarted the tape at 1827.

I have been too busy to stay up with the meanderings at HM01 but today (12 July) managed to copy them on their 1600Z session, which started several minutes early.  I was in the office using my Icom R30 and the whip antenna and copied the signal very well.  It seems back to normal after a long stretch of hard to hear transmissions.

These are the number groups transmitted.  I had not heard them before, but I have not listened daily.

Definitely new number sets. After over a year of this new pattern whereby HM01 randomly sends new numbers and files after weeks or months of repeats, I have stopped tuning in and keeping track. I'm glad someone is paying attention since I'm not anymore.

11435 1558z  HM01 with QSB and QRN sending new numbers:
     18667 33351 77008 47463 53365 51755

This is the third day in a row for new numbers.  Carrier came on just before broadcast started which is a change from their habit of having the carrier on several minutes before, sometimes including a bit of R. Havana.

Josh - yes they do, along with the windows "error when you hit the wrong key" sound as well as clearly RHC sign on music once in a while.

The new groups always end with a 1 (very very rarely a new group will end with a zero) and that same group will be repeated for two days.  The last digit in each group will progress daily by one - so the new group today 18711 will go: 18711 18711 18712 18713 18714....until at least 18716 but at most 18719 at which point it will be replaced with a new group.  Sometimes, and recently for weeks on end, HM01 will go into repeat mode and the groups won't progress the last digit by one until all of a sudden they will send six entirely new groups of which some may or may not end in a one - as if they started "in progress".

Yes - the pattern will continue or they'll go into repeat mode - which they did earlier this year for many, many weeks.  Prior to that, they have pretty much followed protocol for the last 4+ years with little to no prolonged periods of repeat mode.

Carrier was on with no modulation.  At 1559 sent the data transmission for last number in the series and then continued regular order.  All numbers plus one today.

It figures that they would get back on track once I gave up on them.  ;D
