Enigma challenge

Last month's ENIGMA crypto quiz was a bit too difficult, I guess. Only one good answer landed in my mailbox. Congrats Yer! You've won the book.

This was the code to break:

AMVYG PJJYT REPVR KGEYY RYYQG TMWRF QABLG FVUUB SBFWU ZUFMH VXPBP SGECI

If you had used the following settings for the ENIGMA simulator, you would have cracked the code.

1)	Rotor settings:
	I have used the 3 standard rotors and did not change their settings.
2)	Reflector settings: C.
3)	Ring settings: I did not change the inner ring settings.
4)	Start position of the rotors (Grundstellung): WUN
5)	Plug settings:
	The 1st plug is the ENIGMA designator for one of the English speaking numbers stations: E5
	The 2nd plug is the designator of a German speaking station: G7
	The 3rd plug is the designator of a morse station: M13
	The 4th plug is the designator of a Slavic station: S10
	The 5th plug is the designator of a Chinese station: V22

The decoded text reads:
