All S11a schedules are twice weekly, follow year-round UTC (no daylight saving), and use one of three different frequencies depending on the month - one from November to February, another from May to August, and yet another for the remaining months. The first two digits of the ID identify a particular schedule, in a system shared with the sister mode E11.

On each schedule, only null messages are broadcast for the majority of the time. However, traffic is sent at least once every month, on a seemingly random week. The standard group count range is 30 to 40 groups inclusive. Sometimes, extra messages may be delivered within a month that may exceed this range.
