[Spooks] X06 uses Windows XP and GRU's transmitter

[Daniel Ekmann]

Hello.

The following was heard yesterday, October 14th. At about 0720 UTC, I 
noticed a carrier on 10755kHz, a frequency commonly used by the Russian 
military intelligence agency GRU for unscheduled transmissions of E06 
and S06 with ID 975. I recognized a characteristic of one of their 
transmitters, which is a hum on carrier on both side bands, but actual 
audio on the upper, with only traces of it on the lower. So I started 
recording, expecting E06/S06.

However, at 0742:05 UTC, X06 started with the scale 154263, which lasted 
until 0746:43 UTC. At 0747:44 UTC, the Windows XP USB disconnect sound 
was heard. The carrier remained up with no activity until 0832 UTC.

Here is a recording of this event:

And these are recent E06 recordings, in which you can hear the same 
transmitter noise as in X06 above:
