Note the numeral keys start at sifr [zero] on the right, and end at tissa [nine] on the left.

This is in reverse to the system used by the West and gives some insight into the sending of the Arab language E25, documented in Newsletter 27.

Note that the typewriter did not have an upper red on the ribbon as seen below 'February 2005'.

[In case of numeral difficulty we reproduce the Arabic cardinals below]:

Welcome all to Issue 28

Once again your editors give their thanks for your monitoring efforts and hard work.

We are pleased to report that our new "volunteers" are settling into their roles working with the established monitors and already providing some valuable information, which over time should "fill in" some of the gaps in our current knowledge.

The increasing detail included within the Newsletters is proof that our continuing policy of developing Desks / Teams is a correct approach and is allowing us to explore new avenues of monitoring rather than working with predominantly historical information.

This time of year is one of the most interesting for us "numberists", many countries have changed to their "summer hours" in the past weeks and many of our regular stations will be changing to their summer freqs. This gives us a period of intensive activity proving, or otherwise, our predictions and

Hunting for the elusive "unpredictables".

  been a busy boy sending some very long messages.

  new sked at 10.00z, see entry

  lots more info. Comprehensive article on recent observations appended to this Newsletter.
  The YL voice is back, heard by MoK in March after almost 10 years.
  Start times more erratic, but evidence of this being allied to type of TX being made.
  Confirmed sked at 07.00, 6715, NAS
  TX site still in question, beam headings and propagation plots have indicated possibility of Damascus, Alexandria and Cairo at different times. (that's a large area !, anyone with a 2 degree beam, Ed)
  The article writer, Manolis in Crete, and MoK in UK both used identical versions of the "ICEPAC propagation prog" to minimise any calculation differences.
  In the Issue 27 write up I mistakenly stated that ending was RA, it changed to the more conventional AR (Adam Robert) in 1998, however there have been some subsequent logs of RA again (wonder if these were with the "live" TX's and sent as a result of operator habit ) [Ed]
  The 17503kHz ( previously listed freq ) is proved to be a harmonic of 5834kHz (17502), this is often clearly readable, but weak, in UK while 5834kHz is a rarity (Mok has only heard this a handful of times in over 12 years)
• G06, did someone make a mistake or was it an urgent message ? , on 6^th Feb this station made a SUNDAY TX. See entry

  3 freqs in use, 3829//6992, 5474kHz which may be a further //
  Freqs now determined in USB mode, see entry.
