Initially UCAC2 called on primary ship frequency of 4625.5 kHz and sent a message that was confirmed by RJD99. Barely audible though.

After some intercepted XXX VD9B messages today RIR2 may actually be:
Shore CW 6259.5, Ship 4619.5 kHz.
The conclusion comes from the usual pattern that XXX RLO, VD9B etc. flash messages from RIT are immediately repeated by RIR2, today it happened on 6259.5.
