From Trond's UDXF Post:
Some recent interesting findings:
* During the 22utc rc slot on the 5th of April RDU2 was called by an unid station with this command:
"rdu2 de nrzj qsa bk" nothing further received from either party
* RHW2 is almost all the time slightly off frequency.
* Compared with the cluster beacon S on 10871.9 / 13327.9 both RAL2 and RMW2 are prob located in the NW of Russia. Both these stations are strong when the S beacon are too. No other stations in the RAL2 net are heard when the "S" beacons are the solitary ones heard on the cluster beacon frequencies.
Here is a compilation of available data at this end for the "elusive" RAL2 guided star network. (with some detail of loggings at the various frequencies, frequencies with "no further info" are from 3rd party sources, - and are not possible to verify due to rx location)
