S05b was operated by Czech Office of Foreign Relations and Information (ÚZSI) under an ITU-registered callsign "OLX" (though officially assigned to ČTK, the press agency) and allocated frequencies. The language was Czech. It differs from the previous format S05a with different tuning signal and no null messages whatsoever. Last heard in 1996, replaced by S10d.
