2010local/0710UTC 16350kHz s2 to 3 USB but with a small carrier - male voice reading 5 figure groups in English with each group repeated once - a slight accent so not computer generated. At 0721z a group of "00000" then no more.

According to info 16350kHz is used as a data link to Israel from Germany.

Don't be so quick to dismiss computer generated. Several numbers stations are computer generated with an accent.

It is quite likely the station you received was the Russian source, English language with accent, numbers station designated E06 or E06a. That station has a scheduled transmission at that time and in about that frequency range. The time always stays the same but the frequency changes each month. The 0700 UTC time slot is the first and third Thursday of each month, so if this was the station it should repeat on the 15th at 0700 UTC, on the 16350 kHz freq.

Recordings here for comparison, three versions:

http://www.numbersoddities.nl/E06a-18724usb-20141002-1600z-msg-bydanix.mp3
http://www.numbersoddities.nl/E06b-2014-06-25-1600utc-9075khz.mp3

Also, there have been other reported users of 16350 kHz. For example British mil has been noticed there in ALE, and Russian mil using their 45 tone OFDM modem and other Russian modes.

Thanks for that, T. My spoken voice was much more "human" than any of your recordings, it was more like the voice from my GPS and the airport announcements - pre-recorded from a real person then digitised so that they cane be picked out by a programme - only ten numbers in this case of course, quite easy to implement.

I recall back in the early 90's when they sacked the 3 ladies who did the announcing at our local airport. The replacement computer programme they used for the announcements was not altogether reliable - impossible destinations for domestic aircraft, wrong gate and flight numbers, all good fun for the non-traveller but confusing for the real passengers. Mainly finger trouble at the airline desks which was rather quickly sorted out!
