One of the several numbers stations I monitor from time to time is the Spanish language V07. While V07 is in Spanish the source is most likely Russian. The source might be in Asiatic Russia from RFDF but no one that I know of is quite sure.
I post periodic updates on this station to both the Enigma 2000 group and to the UDXF Utilities monitoring group. The following is my update posted Dec 31, 2011, to both of those groups. As part of these updates I normally produce a chart of past performance to use for future transmission predictions.
V07 remains active and well heard on the west coast of the US in its Sunday morning (UTC) schedule. It is still in the 0100/0120/0140 time period for the 3rd month in a row, however the frequencies for December are different from the ones used in October and November. If the pattern holds true the station might continue using 0100/0120/0140 for January, February, and March of 2012, moving to the 0300/0320/0340 slot in April.
The chart of trends, times, and frequencies used for 2011 is here:

Note that on November 20 in the 0100 and 0120 time slots a CW station was sent instead of V07. In this case I believe it is M12. The same ID was sent, 883, as should have been sent for V07 in that time slot. This was a null msg so the 0140 time slot was not populated. Based on this reception I have been assuming there might be an M12 related to this V07 schedule, but looking in the hours before and after the V07 times I have not yet found one.

The first Sunday of the month (Dec 4, 2011) I was not home and only recorded the frequencies that had been in use the last 2 months, no activity recorded as the station had shifted frequencies.
