The elusive S21 Russian lady (or girl?)

S21 Russian Lady (or more likely a Russian girl) is always buried in noise and QRMed by several other transmissions. This time, despite the noise from the nearby thunderstorm, I had a decent signal.

S21 appeared on 3823 USB, approximately at 1845z, calling "323", and then "374" x2, "33" x2, and then 5-figure groups x2. I'm not sure about the first groups...

Ended at 1853z with ??? then 323 374 33 0 0 0.

Here's the whole transmission (not processed).

Poacher: Are you referring to the single "8"? I don't know if this is usual for S21...

ivlad: Many thanks for the transcript! I'm not familiar with S21 and with that noisy signal if I tried to translate the transmissions, the result would contain a lot of errors!
