E06b is a very rare variant of E06, which contains an additonal 5-figure group in the intro. The format is otherwise the same as regular E06.

E06b first appeared on February 5, 1998 at 20:40 UTC on 3820 kHz. The transmission had the call "129 129 129 74326", and contained two messages. Note that before the second message, merely the ID was being repeated, without the 5-figure group.[1]
E06b was then not heard again until June 25, 2014, when it made two appearances at 11:30 UTC on 12207 kHz, and 16:00 UTC on 9075 kHz. Both transmissions carried the same message.
Among a series of test transmissions on May 10, 2022, E06b was heard sending a usual "975 975 975 46918" 4-minute callup followed by a single 00000 group: this would presumably be its null format.
