Asiatic sourced numbers M12 Wed / Sat schedule logs, Dec 20 2014 to January 21 2015

All,

The somewhat new (first reported about 2 and a half months ago) Asiatic M12 Morse code numbers station on Wednesday and Saturday continues. The frequencies for January are now known. The station still occasionally tunes up the transmitter using audio that might be from a broadcast station, as does V07 and the newly found Thursday Asiatic M12 schedule. I have had no luck hearing this station on European remotes, only on Asian and Western US receivers. Here on my local receivers the signal is very good.

PS For those of you wondering "what is an Asiatic M12?" The Morse code numbers station M12 has historically been largely reported by European listeners, and the source has been in or near Europe. The transmissions I am reporting here seem to be (not proven, but good indications) sourced from far eastern Russia or Kamchatka. I carry these transmissions in my logs as "Asiatic M12" only to make searching my logs and tracking station activity easier. Other than probable source location there are no real differences between this M12 and the ones normally reported in Europe.

New Asiatic M12 Thursday schedule with log, January 22 2015

While at the listening gear last night (0030z, January 22, 2015) I noticed a short duration carrier come up on 14492.3 kHz in AM with somewhat muddy broadcast station audio followed by some quick dashes. This is the same habit sometimes seen when the Sunday V07 and Wednesday / Saturday Asiatic M12 transmitters are warmed up prior to transmission. So I parked a receiver on that freq for a while.

At 0100z a new (to me) M12 transmission started. The signal levels and bearing of reception (towards Asiatic Russia or Kamchatka from my location) match the V07 and Wednesday / Saturday M12 signals, and the choice of frequencies also closely matches. I think it is probable that this is from the same source as those two schedules.

I tried multiple European remotes at the same time to see if it could be heard there. As most often with the Sunday V07 and the Wednesday / Saturday M12 I could not receive these transmissions using the European remotes.

Since this was the first night of reception for me I have no idea yet what other days this schedule might be active. But the schedule has been added to my automated recordings to find out.

Although the group count and transmission time for this message matches what was sent the day before, on January 21, 2015 during the 0020 / 0040 / 0100 schedule, the message was not the same.

Since these 2 posts talk about the same station (M12), they've been merged. Feel free to continue with any observations in this thread.
