Broadcaster: Xing Xing Guangbo Diantai (Star Star Broadcasting Station)

Date of recording: March 16, 2026

Starting time: 2358 UTC

Frequency: 19.052 MHz

Receiver location: Thailand

Receiver and antenna: Kiwi SDR with Wellbrook loop

Mode: Single Side Band

Notes: This is a "numbers station" broadcasting in Mandarin Chinese, presumably sending encrypted messages to Taiwanese intelligence agents in mainland China, from Taiwan. It appears to follow a set daily schedule, and begins each transmission with the tune of a Chinese folk song played on a flute. This is followed by station ID, given twice, and a few announcements in Mandarin, then a sequence of numbers read in groups of four. An excellent article about this station can be found on the Mount Evelyn DX Report written by Rob Wagner VK3BVW in May 2025.
