There also is a small variant format E07a.
Transmissions use either AM or USB mode. In USB mode, the voice samples are played at original speed. In AM, the speed and pitch are increased by +10%.
Scheduled transmissions
Each E07 schedule consists of three identical transmissions, spaced 20 minutes apart. From 00:00 to 11:59 UTC, the frequencies of subsequent repeats increase - and from 12:00 to 23:59 UTC decrease - by roughly 1-2 MHz. The third transmission doesn't take place in case of lack of traffic. The hundredths digits from each transmission, gives the schedule ID. Each schedule is weekly and normally has a repeat transmission later in the week, the weeks beginning on Sunday. The frequencies change monthly.
Exercise transmissions
The frequencies 10250 & 10256 kHz are used for presumed exercise transmissions of E07, M12, XPA2 and XPA. Those don't follow the scheduling rules described above. Broadcasts are made on either of those frequencies, and repeated 10 minutes later on the frequency other than the first broadcast. There always is at least one simulated transmission failure in each broadcast.
E07 may use the voice of E06 in those exercise broadcasts.
