Hello!
Thanks for the information, it is important.
All a HF of radiation of a side on daylight were disconnected for learning an electric field.
Let's see, that the telemetering on night sessions will show.
Kaluga, Papkov Alex.

This came in from Moscow (Tnx Max White):

Mozhayets frequencies are 435.319 and 145.828 MHz, callsign is RS 20.
Table for decoding telemetry is as follows:
