Selected Morse stations

Note that any stations shown "cNNNN" are approx freq. Analogue receivers.

Once more this is a limited representation of the logs received. Listed frequencies are given only as an illustration of the range covered, and have been active in the recent past, and as mentioned in the last issue predictions are available for many of them.

More comprehensive station details can be found in the ENIGMA Control List (on our Website) and further information, including Station Profiles, is continuously being added as part of our ongoing update procedure. It is pointless adding that info to the Newsletter, why reinvent the wheel !!!

Unid1 CW (per IB)

06/03 15.00z 6852kHz sent " 248 248 248 000 000" r5, long zeros, then "248 248 24 ttt"

Comments welcome.

Unid2 CW(per IB)

Wed 06/03 13.04z 5600kHz sent "cq141 x 3 hr hr 21 21 == 21x5f ar ar " all repeated
Wed 06/03 14.32z 6290kHz sent "cq432 x 3 hr hr 21 21 == 21x5f ar ar" all repeated

This was reported as M40 but both the structure and freqs do not match the known skeds is it changing from the previous, fairly standard, 18x5f gp messages using new freqs?

Maintaining the current sked. No "end of month", M01a, noted for March. More than the usual "463" mssgs.

Traffic now suddenly much reduced, a shadow of its former self, the long running sked at 16.30z to ID 287 not heard at all in March.

The only identified activity appears to be:-

Tuesday	07.30z	4870kHz	041

Other freqs heard 7320, 7862, 9152, 9238, 12093kHz

Many more freqs/times logged, but no triple freqs noted, MS remarks that there are clearly harmonics of 7320kHz on 14640kHz and 8136/16272, 7862/15724,

M10

The skeds published in N/L9 are still going.

A very unusual happening on Wed 10 Apl at 21.00z when it made 2 TX's simultaneously.

Busy as ever, see Beginners Corner for May/June predictions.

Logs received confirmed the Jan/Feb/Mar predictions, too many to publish.

Only one logging, updated sked in Control List for this regular.

M13d (NEW)

First noted during March 02, probable start at 02.30z, very slow (5 gps min), very long messages up to 2+hrs. The freq is poor in Europe owing to strong BC stations.

Stays on one freq (5876kHz) unlike other M13's. Msg No (264) indicates that it's been around for a long time!!

Another interesting item is that groups 1 & 2 are repeated as last 2 groups of message.

Heard as part TX's on:- Mar 2^nd, 3^rd, 24^th, with complete TX on Apl 4^th.

Format:- "303 x 12, BT, 264, 86, BT, 86 x 5f gps, ending BT 000" (sent as ttt)

All reports welcome, especially full transcripts, for further investigation and developing the profile and sked.

M23

Intensive, co-ordinated worldwide monitoring of this station has provided a few surprises with many new TX's being logged than are normally heard in Europe/N.America and whereas the indications were that freqs had moved generally lower we find many of the higher ones in use. One item that became highlighted was that the "310" c/s is being sent 7 times daily , it had been thought that the 3f calls were an "all is well" type message but we may need to rethink this. Special thanks to those who provided logs.

An "odd" time, unlisted, TX of 09.58z on 7800kHz has been getting later, up to 10.10z start

On 05/03 it popped up on 7795kHz at both 10.30z & 16.00z, first time since Jan 02.

The 10.30z message to c/s 882 was first sent on 27 Sept 99, now heard 54 times

The 16.00z message to c/s 024 was first sent on 13 Oct 99, now heard 44 times

Another enigma for ENIGMA, agents having a long holiday ??

M24/M24a

Another unusual happening.

On Mon 11 Mar at 19.00z 2 simultaneous messages were being sent to agent 263, very clever fella, this has never been noted previously. Or perhaps 263 is not an addressee ID ??

M51

Again been a very busy boy with this marathon effort, on Mon 11 Mar in prog at 17.30z on 5868kHz, was still going at 22.30z and again at 06.55 Tues morning ending at 07.02z (was it going all night?). then at 08.15 it fired up on 5423//5886kHz and kept going until 13.00z.

Our contributor asks if they do this just to keep someone busy trying to decode it??, valid point.

Other busy freqs 4910, 5764kHz

M76 (3819kHz)

Sat 09/03 sent longest message(s) so far heard lasting for 62 minutes.

Called "DAC1 de UUK7 QTC 66 24 =" with messages 063-11, 062-33, 061-32, 060-39, 069-52, 058-34, 057-32, 056-44, 055-30, 053-8. [Probably arranging a party **]

Sat 16/03, another, even longer, marathon TX lasting 2 hrs with messages for:-
093-33, 092-47, 091-24, 090-27, 089-36, 099-43, 087-31, 086-10, 085-29, 084-30, 083-25, 082-29, 081-34, 080-35, 079-40, 078-30, 077-40, 076-42, 075-39, 053-8,( note the repeat to 053 from 09/03 TX) going to be some bash!!

M82

Not usually heard in W.Europe, been reported from NW.America, good in E.Europe

Feb 02 hrd in UK on 4700kHz 13.00z, 14.30z . poss N Korean Army
