If I understand well ITU's CallSign Series Ranges, there is no attribution related to 70AST and 65MVP. Considering the Maidenhead grid, JO10 is located in northern France and Belgium. The prefix OT is allocated to Belgium, but nothing like 70 is. JO63 is located in the north east of Germany. DM is allocated to Germany, but nothing like 65 is. My conclusion is that these are pirated callsigns. Licensed radio amateurs are not allowed to communicate with such stations. In contrast, OT70AST and DM65MVP would be plausible callsigns. QRZ.com knows about them. Are you sure about the slash in these callsigns ?
