Voice stations

E has written in with a most interesting piece. He heard from a private source ‘that the Tyrolean Music Station was apparently run by SDECE. Apparently its cover was blown by a French radio magazine called Interferences Issue 3, Autumn 1975.’ His source has no hard copy of the mag so no substantiation is available. Perhaps our French Membership can help?

PoSW sums up the Voice transmissions since the last Newsletter:

The V02 Spanish Language YL from Cuba has gone into a remarkable decline over the last week or two and I don't think her absence is down to propagation. Very few of the hitherto regular weekly transmissions have been showing up, most notably the Thursday and Saturday UK early morning schedules which always used to be strong signals in the summer months.

There was some speculation in the press a few weeks ago as to the likely turn of events in Cuba when Fidel Castro finally leaves the scene; apparantly the descendents of the gangsters who used to run the place back in the fifties and who took up residence across the water in Florida are poised to make a spectacular return as soon as old Fidel expires and return Cuba to what it once was, a massive gambling den and brothel catering for customers from the USA.

Speaking of Cuba, I didn't realise until a few weeks ago that Radio Havana broadcasts programmes in the English language on the shortwave bands; the transmissions I have heard were at 0130 UTC on 6,000 kHz - 6 megs exactly - in the 49 metre band which is 2.30 AM BST; I admit I have been in a position to hear this on two occasions only, both in the wee small hours of a Sunday morning; I suspect the transmissions are targetted at the USA where it would be evening time. On a Sunday at 0130z, or just after, following the news headlines, there is a programme for shortwave listeners and radio amateurs, the sort of thing most shortwave broadcasters used to do twenty or thirty years ago. What surprised me was a piece heard a few weeks ago on the subject of amateur two metres and seventy centimetres mobile in Cuba because I don't believe any such activity exists ; if press reports in this country are correct there are very few private cars in Cuba apart from some old American models, late 1950's Chevrolets, Lincolns, Oldsmobiles and so on and very little petrol on which to run them. There was an item on the TV news a while ago about the Cuban army having given up their trucks and other motor vehicles and replaced them with Chinese made bicycles because of the lack of petrol and diesel. Mr Castro used to obtain fuel from the Russians at a very favourable price but since Cuba still professes some kind of communist system whereas Russia has wholeheartedly taken up the "gangster capitalism" way of doing things, this no longer applies.

The G06/S06/E06 family of number stations remain much as expected with the usual schedules appearing. E06 seems to be much less active these days in comparisson with two or three years ago. 

The Monday + Wednesday E07 schedule did a strange thing in June; it changed frequencies. When heard in the first week of the month the same three frequencies used in the month of June in previous years were used but when checked out around the middle of the month the frequencies had changed moving somewhat lower down the band. 

Thanks for yourongoing support PoSW. 

Onto the logs.

E03/E03a

Apart from the regulations concerning the reception of wireless stations within Great Britain advice on reporting intelligence matters also exists in the form of DA notices.

Whoever the messages, from E03/E03a, are aimed at ENIGMA 2000 has no wish to 'advertise' the existence of these stations to those who may not support the best interests of Great Britain, or its representatives abroad. Although we are unable to stop discussion of E03/E03a, ENIGMA 2000 will remain aloof from any such discussion and will not be including reports or analysis on E03/E03a.

Whilst in New Zealand PLondon used his Sony ICF-SW100E with 3m wire to have a listen around. The condx were poor but he did manage to pull in weak sendings of E03 and E03a. He deliberately went for the two last early morning sendings of E03a and heard both, albeit weakly.

PLondon also met a ZL and found that even using his rotating antenna results were not much better, even at night on 80m. These condx were mentioned to DoK who said the same about those in the northern hemisphere.

Before we move on many of you will note that our June logs are not as full as usual. This is because PLondon had a good time in NZ and was unable to continue with the Newsletter Construction whilst south of the equator.

Anon UK was asked to keep an eye on E06 and E07 and responded by sending his upto date charts for E06, E07, E11, G06 and V07.

This is a specialist chart for which we thank AnonUK for sharing [and supporting E2k].

E06

The E06 English Man does not seem to be as active as he once was. The only regular schedules around at the moment, at least for those of us who are away from a radio in the daytime Monday to Friday would seem to be the weekly Sunday 1830 + 1930 UTC and a Wednesday 2100 + 2200 UTC, perhaps first and third Wednesdays in the month. Saturday afternoons, UK time, were well known for the appearance of several E06 schedules for many years but not for the last 18 months or so. [Tnx PoSW]

Sunday 1830 + 1930 UTC
Schedule, call is always "690";-

15-May-05 1830 UTC 10190 kHz "690 690 690 00000".
1931 UTC 8180 kHz - and 10 seconds, started over a minute late, second sending.
22-May-05 1830 UTC 10190 kHz "690 690 690 00000", a strong "XJT" has appeared slightly LF, unreadable in AM mode, OK with receiver in USB mode thanks to ceramic filter with flat top and steep sides.
29-May-05 1830 UTC 10190 kHz "690 690 690 00000", XJT is still there.

1930 UTC 8130 kHz second sending.
19-June-05 1830 UTC 10270 kHz "690 690 690 00000", not much new there, then.
1930 UTC 8130 kHz

Wednesday 2100 + 2200 UTC Schedule;-

4-May-05 2100 UTC 11060 kHz "504 504 504 00000", very strong signal, deeply modulated audio, very crisp, lower sideband suppressed. Carrier noted approx. 10 minutes earlier.
2200 UTC 9160 kHz "504" again, very strong signal.
2100 UTC 11060 kHz "504 504 504 00000", both very strong with excellent audio and lower sideband suppressed.

E07 [“That’s wild, that’s really wild”]!

Known E07 schedules are as always, Monday + Wednesday starting at 2000 UTC in the summer months, Sunday + Wednesday starting at 1700 UTC and Thursday starting at 2010 UTC. It has been generally observed that E07 uses the same frequencies as in the same month in previous years with the exception of the Sunday + Wednesday 1700z. However, in June the Monday + Wednesday 2000z did something strange; although heard on the expected three frequencies early in the month, as in June of previous years, when searched for in the third week of June there was no trace of any of the sendings and was later found on entirely different frequencies. The problem with low levels of audio persists, often resulting in difficult copy despite a reasonably strong carrier but every once in a while E07 will turn up with really deep, almost broadcast quality modulation but it is often a case of "one performance only", returning to low modulation on the next occasion.

[Tnx PoSW]

Monday + Wednesday Schedule;-

2-May-05 Monday 2020 UTC 13,872 kHz carrier with very low audio, inaudible, presumed to be second sending of E07 schedule; frequencies in May of previous years were 15,638 + 13,872 + 12,203 kHz, call "682". Carrier went off just after 2020z so must have been a two-miute "no message".
4-May-05 Wednesday 2000 UTC 15,638 kHz "682 682 682 000", strong carrier inside 19 metre BC band, low mod. but readable.
2020 UTC 13,872 kHz "682 682 682 000", strong carrier, low mod.
23-May-05 Monday 2024 UTC 13,872 kHz second sending in progress with "full message" format, S9 carrier but very low mod, unreadable, QRM wide-band splatter from an S9+ BC station with transmitter problem on 13,830 kHz. First sending at 2000z on 15,638 was unreadable due to low mod. and QRM from S9++ Kol Israel in Hebrew language a couple of kHz away.
2040 UTC 12,203 kHz "682 682 682 1", DK/GC "532 46" x 2, strong signal, mod. reasonable, the only sending of the three which could be copied.
1-June-05 Wednesday 2000 UTC 16,284 kHz "234 234 234 1", missed DK/GC due to weak signal and the usual low mod.
2020 UTC 14,389 kHz "234 234 234 1", DK/GC "739 41" x 2, S9 signal and mod. unusually good!, much better copy than first sending.
2040 UTC 13,447 kHz "234" and "739 41", third sending, reasonable mod.
13-June-05 Monday no sign of E07 at 2020 UTC on 14,389 kHz, second sending, should have been up whether full message or no message format.
15-June-05 Wednesday again, no sign of expected "234" schedule when first sending looked for at 2000z, 16,284 kHz; but;-
2004 UTC 13,376 kHz E07 found much lower down the band with "full message" transmission, ended "000 000" after 2006z.
2020 UTC 11,103 kHz looks as if this E07 schedule has changed frequencies for some reason, calling "319 319 319 1", DK/GC "8362 38" x 2, peaking strength S9, better than usual modulation.
2040 UTC 9,928 kHz "319" and "8362 38" again, S9 signal with reasonable mod, heterodyne with carrier of a broadcast station on 9,925.
So this schedule has changed frequencies within the month of June, having been heard on the expected frequencies in the first week of the month; I don't recall this ever happening before.
20-June-05 Monday 2020 UTC 11,103 kHz second sending of the changed June schedule, first sending at 2000z on 13,376 kHz was weak signal with very low mod and unreadable. "319 319 319 1", DK/GC "765 95" x 2 with reasonable mod. However, there was no sign whatsoever of the third sending at 2040z on 9,928 kHz which was heard on Wednesday 15th.
22-June-05 Wednesday 2000 UTC 13,376 kHz "319 319 319 1", DK/GC "765 95" x 2, same as on Monday; but what a difference in the signal, S9+ with really good, deep modulation, like a broadcast station.
2020 UTC 11,103 kHz second sending of "319" and "765 95", very strong signal with excellent mod, good reception even on an old domestic portable radio with a shortwave band using a 2 foot telescopic aerial.
2040 UTC 9,928 kHz third sending, this did not appear on Monday - unless the signal was very, very weak indeed. Strong signal with excellent mod., overiding broadcast station in 31 metre band.

Sunday + Wednesday Schedule;-

1-May-05 Sunday 1700 UTC 13,388 kHz "301 301 301 000", frequencies used in May last year were 14,942 + 13,472 and in the case of a "full message", 12,127 kHz.
1720 UTC 12,088 kHz
4-May-05 Wednesday 1746 UTC 10,118 kHz third sending of "full message" format in progress, strong signal with better than usual mod. Inside the 30 metre CW band, several ham stations close to E07 the strongest being an OK callsign.
8-May-05 Sunday 1700 UTC 13,388 kHz first sending, very weak signal and low mod, unreadable. Went off 1717z.
1720 UTC 12,088 kHz second sending, again wek with low mod., unreadable.
1740 UTC 10,118 kHz "301 301 301 1", DK/GC "840 145" (?), again, very weak signal, difficult copy.
22-May-05 Sunday 1700 UTC 13,388 kHz "301 301 301 000", S9+, reasonable mod.
1720 UTC 12,088 kHz second sending, weaker than the first.
5-June-05 Sunday 1700 UTC 13,468 kHz first sending of new schedule for June, S8 signal but very low mod and hash QRM from nearby TV sets made it unreadable; Went off after 1711z.
1720 UTC 12,141 kHz second sending, much better copy, "414 414 414 1", DK/GC "389 90" x 2.
1740 UTC 10,436 kHz "414" and "389 90", reasonable mod.
8-June-05 Wednesday 1700 UTC 13,468 kHz "414 414 414 1", DK/GC "389 90", same as on Sunday but much better signal, S9+ with reasonable mod.
15-June-05 Wednesday 1700 UTC 13,468 kHz "414 414 414 1", DK/GC "715 82" x 2.
1720 UTC 12,141 kHz Repeated “414” all reasonable signals.
1740 UTC 10,436 kHz

Thursday Schedule;-

5-May-05 2010 UTC 13,368 kHz "374 374 374 1", DK/GC "349 46" x 2, S9 signal, mod. better than usual for this schedule.
2030 UTC 12,177 kHz weaker signal and 2050 UTC, 10,749 kHz weaker still, repeat sendings. These frequencies were also used in May last year and in 2003.
12-May-05 2010 UTC 13,368 kHz
2030 UTC 12,177 kHz
2050 UTC 10,749 kHz all good signals, "374" and "349 46", same as last week.
19-May-05 2010 UTC 13,368 kHz "374 374 374 000", repeated 2030 UTC, 12,177 kHz, both strong carriers but mod. somewhat low.-
26-May-05 "374 374 374 000" again.
2-June-05 2010 UTC 13,511 kHz "113 113 113 1", DK/GC "174 74" x 2, S9+ with fair modulation.
2030 UTC 12,115 kHz repeats of "113" and "174 74", both good signals with reasonable mod. Same frequencies were used for this schedule in June of 2003 and 2004.
2050 UTC 11,132 kHz
9-June-05 2010 UTC 13,511 kHz "113 113 113 1", DK/GC "174 74" x 2, same as last week,
2030 UTC 12,115 kHz Repeated "113 113 113 1" with strong signals with reasonable mod
2050 UTC 11,132 kHz
23-June-05 2010 UTC 13,511 kHz "113 113 113 000", very low mod., difficult to hear.
2030 UTC 12,115 kHz second sending was just a plain carrier; we are used to low levels of modulation from E07 but there was no audio at all!

Comments

KPA2 is now being heard on freq;s 10.352 and 12.223 (see above log) both new to me, though g0rgv (Richard) heard the same at 2016hrs on the 2/5/05 also. *SYN2 & VLB2 both swapped their lower band freq's at 2345 hrs but maintained 6930 & 6370 respectivly. MIW2 has reopened on freq 5339, and CIO2 on 5230.

A slightly different format from SYN2 on the 3/5. Commencing at 2343hrs one call, 2343 hrs +, two calls, 2344hrs two calls, 2344hrs +, two calls, then at 2348hrs as normal ending at 2351hrs. I also noted that VLB2 & CIO2 did not commence till 2347hrs

7/5 to 21/5 Visiting Family & Friends in Hong Kong, hence the gap in the log

A number of reports coming in confirming CIO ADF893Z645ZB being heard at some stage during its long transmission on freq's 4165 * 5230 * 6912 during the 23/5. Also CIO 98356 heard on the 22/5 on 6912 at 1957hrs. And a new freq for KPA2 on 13.555

23/5 YHF1 Heard at 2000hrs on 9202 5mins transmission no message, and on the 30/5, ULX1 on 4880 at 1900hrs no message.

Thanks to Ary Boender, Mike (West Sussex), g0rgv, Ian Wraith & Simon Parton. for their logs.

Also noted for the 31/5 at 2330z on 4461, E10 calling ART2, this then changed to VLB2 for 3-5 calls, then to FTJ for some minutes, followed by a 114 grp msg ( Thanks Fred? for your log)
