| Daily Summary: High-frequency operational session spanning overnight into September 7, marked by dual-frequency CIS-12 digital data deployment on 4844 and 12005 kHz, followed by rapid marker transitions from a 2024-style buzzer back to standard pip markers. The session concluded with a voice test count on 12005 kHz under the callsign Prymka61 featuring an unusual phone-patch request before full transmitter shutdown. Note: The sequence of rapid digital-to-buzzer switching and subsequent voice testing points toward continued propagation or hardware trials following the station's recent relocations, though specific operational triggers remain under observation. | |||
