SIGINT Brief
BAND CONDITIONS 80‑40 m daytime band is fair, night good. 30‑20 m daytime good, night fair. 17‑15 m daytime fair, night poor. 12‑10 m both poor. Best windows UTC now through 02:00: 40‑80 m night good, 30‑20 m day good, 17‑15 m day fair.
STATIONS OF INTEREST UVB‑76 (RU) remains a Russian numbers station; its output is relevant given Russia’s moderate instability (index 73) and recent Yemeni fighting report. SKYKING/EAM (US) military broadcasts merit attention as the United States shows high instability (84.8) and has just ended a nuclear‑launch detection program. Radio Havana (CU) evening broadcasts are useful amid rising regional tensions highlighted by the Brazil unrest (index 60.8, large change). Voice of Korea (KP) continues propaganda; North Korea’s regional posture is indirectly reflected in the Iran war analysis. NATO STANAG 4285 (BE) provides allied utility traffic; Belgium’s stability is unremarkable (index 44.1) and no specific report ties to it.
GEOPOLITICAL CORRELATION Russian stations align with the Russia index and the Yemen conflict report, indicating possible strategic messaging. US stations correspond to the US index and the termination of the missile‑launch spotting program. Cuban broadcasts occur as Brazil’s index spikes, suggesting possible regional influence. No reporting directly involves China, Canada, Ireland, Japan, or the United Kingdom, so their stations have no immediate correlation.
MONITORING PLAN 4625 kHz UVB‑76 UTC 20‑02, 8992 kHz SKYKING/EAM UTC 20‑02, 6000 kHz Radio Havana UTC 20‑02, 11735 kHz Voice of Korea UTC 20‑02, 6998 kHz NATO STANAG 4285 UTC 20‑02.
