SIGINT Brief
BAND CONDITIONS 80‑40 m daytime band is fair, night good; 30‑20 m day and night good; 17‑15 m day good, night fair; 12‑10 m day fair, night poor. Best monitoring windows UTC now through 0300: 30‑20 m all hours, 80‑40 m night, 17‑15 m day, 12‑10 m day.
STATIONS OF INTEREST UVB‑76 (RU) – Russian domestic numbers remain relevant given Russia’s high instability index; The Pip (RU) – continuous Russian traffic may reflect state messaging amid rising tensions; Russian Navy HF (RU) – military frequency important as Russia’s index climbs; NATO STANAG 4285 (BE) – Belgium’s moderate index and recent French report on Houthi threats suggest NATO monitoring value; Voice of Korea (KP) – North Korean broadcast gains relevance as regional instability in Iran and Yemen is noted.
GEOPOLITICAL CORRELATION Russia’s index of 93 aligns with multiple Russian HF sources; Ukraine’s drop does not correspond to a specific station here. United States, index 75, hosts WWV, WWVH, BPM, and several VOLMET feeds, but no direct report ties to current events. France’s rise links to Houthi warning (France 24) but no French HF station listed. United Kingdom’s increase has no associated station. Iran’s index rise and UK sanctions report are unrelated to listed frequencies. Yemen’s index shift mirrors Houthi warning but no Yemeni HF source is present.
MONITORING PLAN 3828 kHz 0000‑0300, 4445 kHz 0000‑0300, 6998 kHz 0100‑0300, 10000 kHz (WWV/WWVH/BPM) continuous, 11735 kHz 0100‑0300.
