S06 schedules consist of 2 identical transmissions 30 or 60 minutes apart. The latter transmission is 1-3 MHz lower or higher in frequency. In case traffic was sent, the two transmissions are usually also made the next day, at the same times and frequencies. In case of interference on the planned frequency, S06 may broadcast up to 2 kHz away instead.
Ten minutes before each transmission begins, a pre-transmission test is made. For Moscow-based operations, this consists of a long 1200 Hz tone, followed by the ID of the upcoming transmission spoken once. For Chita-based operations, this consists of "0123456789" spoken repeatedly.
S06b
S06b is a message format containing only 2 groups as follows:
- Group 1 is always "11111."
- Group 2 always begins with "000."
Example transmission:
| 4 minutes | ||||||
| 583 | 409 409 | 2 2 | 11111 00058 | 409 409 | 2 2 | 00000 |
| 3-digit ID | 3-digit group (twice) |
Group count (twice) |
5-digit paired groups | 3-digit group (twice) |
Group count (twice) |
On rare occasions, 3-group S06b messages were also observed, containing several different "000" groups after "11111", for example:
11111 00067 00057
More often than not, there is a second, normal-looking message within the same transmission:
| 4 minutes | 1 minute | |||||||||||
| 387 | 469 469 | 2 2 | 11111 00061 | 469 469 | 2 2 | 387 | 215 215 | 40 40 | 92635 89241 ... 28499 65528 | 215 215 | 40 40 | 00000 |
| 3-digit ID | 3-digit group (twice) |

S06g
S06g is a message format containing an additional 5 figure group in the intro section, repeated for 4 minutes along with the ID. Null messages also exist, consisting of the described intro repeated for 4 minutes, and followed by a single "00000".
S06g has been seen exclusively on test transmissions using the usual test IDs and frequencies, sometimes with bogus values in the 5-figure group such as "12345". It has also appeared using other Russian 6 voices, like E06, G06 and V23.
