SIGINT Brief
BAND CONDITIONS 80‑40 m daytime fair, night good; 30‑20 m day and night good; 17‑15 m day fair, night poor; 12‑10 m both poor. Best monitoring windows UTC now through 02:00: 80‑40 m night good, 30‑20 m continuous good, 17‑15 m day fair until 22:00, then avoid night.
STATIONS OF INTEREST UVB‑76 (RU) remains a Russian numbers station; its output may reflect Kremlin messaging amid Russia’s high instability index (92.5) and recent claims of Russian involvement in drone strikes off Bulgaria. SKYKING/EAM (US) military HF provides U.S. strategic broadcasts; with the United States index rising (77.3) and domestic political turbulence reported, watch for any shift in content. RWM (RU) time‑signal continues to anchor Russian HF traffic, useful for baseline monitoring given Russia’s unchanged instability. NATO STANAG 4285 (BE) utility channel may carry alliance coordination as Poland receives Patriot missiles per a Swedish‑Polish report, making Belgian involvement relevant.
GEOPOLITICAL CORRELATION Russia’s elevated index and the report of alleged Russian‑backed drone attacks on Bulgarian shipping underscore heightened activity from Russian HF assets. The United States’ rising index and domestic political reports (Trump‑related investigations) give context to U.S. military and time‑signal stations. France’s slight index dip and school protests on social‑media bans have no direct HF station tie, so no correlation.
MONITORING PLAN 4625 kHz UVB‑76 UTC 20‑02; 8992 kHz SKYKING/EAM UTC 20‑02; 9996 kHz RWM UTC 20‑02; 6998 kHz NATO STANAG 4285 UTC 20‑02.
