By way of introduction, I have been a shortwave DXer for some twenty
years, until recently specializing in Tropical Band DXing. However, I
recently merged my two great life interests into one: DXing civil aviation on
shortwave! Contributions to this column are most welcome, as well as any
comments, suggestions, and criticisms! Remember, your contributions make
this column happen, so why not send yours now? 73, Tony
YYZ REPORT
by Peter Ivakitsch
Cathay Pacific 747-400's have been seen recently sporting the new CX color
scheme, arriving from the Vancouver leg of the HKG-YYZ flight. Word from Hong
Kong has it that the L1011s are being retired from the fleet as of November
1994, and that only the current fleet of 747's will be repainted during
scheduled D-checks. Lufthansa continues to replace its A340's with DC10-30s
and 747's for the FRA-YYZ scheduled service. Word on the ramp has it that
these substitutions are necessary owing to continued problems with the
lavatory systems onboard the Airbus. Effective Feb. 3 until March 24,
ALITALIA will operate B767-300ERs instead of MD11s on the FCO-YYZ route,
operating Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Aerolineas Argentinas has resumed
service to YYZ; ex-Pan Am, ex-Delta A310s are being utilized. Pakistan
International Airlines is starting to use the A310 now on some flights into
YYZ. Air India is now using 744s.
IAD REPORT
Recently spotted overnighting at IAD were 727-76 VR-BRR of Skyline
International, Ltd. of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Gulfstream 2 C-FNCG of Sugra
Ltd. of Toronto. A week earlier on 10 January I was able to spot World
Airways DC10-30 OH-LHA in full Express One colors with a World logo
superimposed on the vertical stabilizer. Rounding out the action on the ramp
were Luftwaffe 707-307 10-21 and Royal Air Force VC10 reg. XV108 in from
Brize Norton. Swissair will cut back its weekly ZRH-BOS-IAD flights from
four to two weekly departures effective April 1995. That's when SR will
begin code-sharing on Austrian Airlines new VIE-GVA-IAD A310 service.
Flights operate five times weekly beginning April 5th.

Now, a very interesting article from contributor Peter Vekinis,
Brussels, Belgium:
As I am often in my cottage in the South West Coast of Ireland
(available for rent-there is a 20 wavelength on 20 rhombic on it), I do quite
a bit of monitoring of aero frequencies. Eurocontrol, the controlling
authority run from Maastricht in the southern part of the Netherlands, has
installed a remote radar site and re-transmission facility on top of Mount
Gabriel near the town of Schull (on a map of Ireland look out for Fastnet
lighthouse and then look to the mainland shifting your eyesight left). This
has two radars in domes and is about 1400 feet up. It also has retransmission
facilities on AM VHF of Shannon, London, Scotland and Brest air traffic
controls plus a host of others. The whole site is connected via radar to
Pagina 2
WUN-v01
the center in the Netherlands and copies its images to many sites. Planes
flying over the Atlantic report positions on HF every 10 degrees as well as
provide selcal IDs (SELCAL is selective calling system which permits a plane
to identify a call directed to it by a signal sent over HF radio with the
radios squelched). Depending on where the plane is, Shanwick may ask Gander
Radio or New York Radio to copy the position information as provided by the
pilot for backup and further analysis. Pilots also report EPIRB signals
(121.5MHz), especially in winter, from ships in distress. When they cross 15
degrees west, they must squawk an ID to the trans-Atlantic controlling center
near Shannon, called Shanwick, via an on-board transponder, and then they are
passed over to the appropriate control center which maybe miles away. Let's
take an example, of London. They are provided a London Frequency, and then,
still at 15 degrees west, take over control of the plane and keep control
until the plane gets into London ATR. There are many frequencies available,
both HF and VHF, with the VHF re-transmitted via Mount Gabriel. For outgoing
flights on HF, monitor 8864/5616/2899 especially between 12:00Z and 17:00Z
The incoming planes enter the zone at about 0300Z until 0800Z. Depending on
whether they fly northern, central, or southern routes, frequencies alter:
8859, 5649, 8891, 6622 and 4675 are also used. On VHF the frequencies in use
are 118.600, 132.470 and others. The most fascinating thing is monitoring a
plane from New York Radio as it flies over to Europe. You can track it on a
map and listen to it for most of its journey. As planes cross 15o West, they
are told to squawk and switch to VHF frequencies depending on their
destination. For example, if they are aiming Paris, they switch over to Brest
Control which has a copy of the Radar images of Mount Gabriel and takes the
plane over when it is still hundreds of miles out of range!
AIRLINE/STATION NEWS

Reston, Virginia has suspended flights and filed for bankruptcy after
short-term financing failed to sustain operations. Effective February 8 all
USAfrica operations were halted and two leased MD11's were returned to their
owner, American Airlines. USAfrica Airways President and CEO Gregory S. Lewis
is optimistic that E8 can reorganize and resume operations later this year.
That's all from Reston this month. Next month stay tuned for the Captain
Hennie van der Walt Story, a report from Phoenix Sky Harbor International,
and more! For the latest in International Civil Aero news check in next

(=- DIGITAL REVIEW -=)
editor: Ary Boender
[email protected]
2:283/512.24
---------------------Welcome to the first edition of WUN's Digital Review. My name is Ary
Boender, dx'er since the early eighties. I live in Spykenisse, a town near
Rotterdam in the Netherlands. I started like most other dxers, as a BC
SW-listener but switched to Utility after I bought a Panasonic portable
receiver in 1982. About 8 years ago I bought my first decoder and since that
moment I became completely addicted to utility dx. My equipment now includes
a.o. a Plessey PR2250 receiver, Code3 and a Wavecom 4010 decoder.
Editing a column is a new experience for me and I hope to receive plenty
of feedback from you all. Please, send me your comments, news and info.
Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask and please, let me know
what you expect from me.
Alright, let's get digital.............
Availability messages
--------------------Very common on shortwave are the stations of the British Royal Navy and the
Dutch Royal Navy (MTO, GYA, PBB, PBC). The 75bd RTTY availability messages
are well-known to virtually every dxer. But what is the meaning of these
messages? Let's take a closer look:
02D 03B 04B MTO
02D 03B 04Boo MTO
02D 03B 04Bae MTO
02D 03B 04Boo MTO
02D 03B 04Bak MTO
02D 03B 04Boo MTO
02D 03B 04Bar MTO
02D 03B 04Boo MTO
02D 03B 04B MTO
This is a part of the normal string.
A ship requested traffic on channel 04B. MTO
acknowledges by switching the channel to BUSY.
MTO asks for Crypto and RATT tests. The callsign
of the ship is 'A'.
While the ship transmits the tests, MTO switches
the channel to BUSY again.
MTO acknowledges receipt of the tests and tells
the ship that traffic may be sent.
While the ship transmits its messages, the channel
is BUSY.
MTO confirms receipt of the message.
Channel will be closed now.
Channel is free again.
Fleetbroadcasts
---------------The Royal Navy in London transmits so-called Fleet Broadcasts to their
ships by means of crypted RATT messages. These messages are used to relay
up-to-date operational information to the fleet.
Although the messages are crypted and the stations never id themselves,
it is quite easy to identify the station. Just be patient.
Traffic is transmitted continuously 24 hours a day in 7 1/2 bit 75 or
100bd crypted RATT on shortwave and 50bd on VLF. After each message a string
of 16 RY's is transmitted followed by a synchronization string, both in plain
language. The synchronization string is 'VMGTCNJ' and precedes each message.
Try the following frequencies: 2816, 3436, 4246.5, 6435, 8493, 10275.5 and
17139.5 kHz.

Utility Monitoring in the Maritime Bands
Editor: Jim Navary <[email protected]>
914 Conjurers Drive
Colonial Heights, VA 23834
============================================================================
Ahoy Shipmates!
I'm pleased to kick-off "Nautical News" as part of the first Worldwide
UTE News newsletter. This will be the place for information of interest to
utility monitors with an interest in the Maritime radio bands below 30 mHz.
We'll be primarily concerned with the commercial side of things while
Coast Guard and Navy matters will be within Jim Pogue's bailiwick. Of course
there may be some cross-over from time to time as interaction between
merchant and Coast Guard/Naval vessels is fairly common.
We'll not be restricting information to only deep-sea vessels. Anything
that floats (or communicates with things that float) and has transmitting
capabilities on SW is fair game. So, if you have information about coastal
tugs, inland waterways vessels or their base stations, lakers, sailing
vessels, ferries, etc. consider this your open invitation to share it with
the rest of the WUN gang through this forum. I'll certainly need your help
to fill up this little piece of cyberspace!
And now....the news:
Rick Albright out on the west coast of the U.S. offers up the following hint:
#
#
#
#
#
Do you ever listen to the German merchant ships position exchanges on
16,528? The best times now are 0001z and 0401z, although they do it every
four hours. DAAD is general call, DAAP is for all Columbus ships and DAAQ
for all Hapag-Lloyd ships. It's all USB German and English, and there are
vessels reporting from both coasts and the Panama Canal.
Thanks Rick. I might add that I've heard a similar net of German
merchant ships up 3 kHz from there, on 16531, starting at 1400 UTC. The time
I heard them the following ships checked in with position reports: Maxhutte/
Y5EA, Hiddensee/DQGK, Usedom/DQGM, Brandenburg/Y5EP, and DSR-Pacific/DQFW.
This net appears to be for ships from DSR (Deutsche Seereederei Rostock,
GmbH).
While we're on the subject of 16 mHz nets, another good one to look for
is the Windjammer Barefoot Cruises fleet of sailing vessels. A recent QSL I
received from the Captain of the Fantome advised that the Windjammer ships
normally contact their home office (callsign KVR451) at 1330 and 2200 UTC on
Pagina 5
WUN-v01
16528, 16531, or 16534 kHz. The sailing vessels generally use their names
rather than callsigns when checking in. The Windjammer fleet includes:
Fantome, Flying Cloud, Mandalay, Polynesia, Yankee Clipper (all sailing
vessels) and the Amazing Grace (supply ship).
Jim Pogue provides the following for our edification -#

The SS Lane Victory is (I believe) the last functioning Victory ship in
existence. It is berthed at San Pedro, Calif, at berth 53. It is operated
and maintained by a group of WW II vets and others. Several times a year
they take it out to sea. This consists of cruises and WW II reenactment's,
complete with gunfire and the like. Based on a phone call I made to them
Friday, they have a fully operational WW II radio shack, as well as an
operational and active amateur radio station. Sooooo, this might be a nice
opportunity to log and verify a very unique vessel, especially if we can
catch them using their mership callsign. We might even be able to set-up
something with them to afford the maximum opportunity to log it. The
gentleman I talked to suggested that we write to them with out request for
info, etc.
Stay tuned to this space for additional information. A letter is on
it's way requesting additional information along with a request for any
upcoming sailing plans, frequencies used, etc. Thanks for the "heads-up" Jim.
Ever wonder how ships at sea know all the details necessary to make
contact with the appropriate coastal station, especially when sailing
unfamiliar waters? I certainly have. Now I know how they do it. During a
recent shipboard visit with the Radio Officer and Chief Engineer on the M/V
Spica I just asked. The answer: A set of books titled "Admiralty List of
Radio Signals" published by the Hydrographer of the Navy, in the U.K. The R/O
graciously permitted me to browse through one of the volumes and I knew
instantly that I HAD to have my own copy! Well, "Volume 1: Coast Radio
Stations" now has it's rightful place in my messy little radio shack. I
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this publication for anyone interested in maritime
monitoring.
The down-side is that these are pricey little publications. Volume 1
consists of two parts with part 1 covering Europe, Africa, and Asia and
part 2 the rest of the world. The price: $33 per book. I swallowed hard
and recited my MasterCard number and 2 days later they were in my sweaty
little hands.
What's included? Well, the "meat" of the volume is the individual
listings for every coast radio station in the world. Unfortunately for us
QSL hounds there are no mailing addresses. However, everything else about a
station is provided. This includes telephone and Telex numbers, and latitude
& longitude coordinates of the station. Under this general information are
specific details about each type of service provided by the station. Separate
sections are provided for each mode (telegraphy [CW], radio-telephony [SSB]
and radio-telex service [RTTY]) within each band segment (LW, HF, and VHF).
Within each section are the frequencies used (both ship and shore side),
hours of operation/watch, and times/freqs for traffic list broadcasts.
There's plenty of other useful information in this volume as well
including info on GMDSS, Medical Advice by Radio, INMARSAT, Distress/Search/
Rescue, Ship Reporting Systems (e.g., AMVER and similar systems around the
world), Piracy Reporting, ITU Regulations, Tables of frequencies, etc. It's
loaded!
Admiralty publications are available from various suppliers of nautical
charts and publications in quite a few coastal cities throughout the world.
Mine came from Maryland Nautical Sales (1-800-752-7245) in Baltimore.
That's it for this time. 'Til next time I wish you "Fair Seas and Following
Winds".

GOVERNMENT & OTHER SSB NEWS
Mike Wolfson, editor
[email protected]
Welcome to the first Government and Other SSB News column for WUN. Sorry
for the sparse look to this month's column, but along with everything else
about WUN the "look and feel" are still evolving. My name is Mike Wolfson
and for about the last year and a half I edited the utility logs column for
Pagina 6
WUN-v01
the late, lamented SPEEDX. As you can see from the subject of this column,
I've changed hats somewhat. What hasn't changed is the need for input from
you the reader. The best way to make this column better is to contribute to
it. Having said that let's get down to business.
A couple of days ago Rick Baker sent out some e-mail about a DEA op on
7657 (DEA FOXTROT frequency) involving some assets with the c/s of SHARK.
That traffic was later followed by more transmissions involving c/s of MIKE,
STINGRAY, and PANTHER.
Surprisingly, the traffic was in the clear. In one of RD's posts, he
notes that they finally started to encrypt their transmissions. These days,
its rare to hear them in the clear.
The c/s SHARK is associated with USCG cutters on missions that involve
DEA activities. From information included in RD's post, the c/s MIKE is
used by a series of fast pursuit boats that are used by drug interdiction
teams to catch smugglers. I've seen pictures of them and they look like
updated cigarette boats. In fact they look like the boats that were used by
the "rum-runners" during prohibition to bring loads across Lake Erie. Kind
of coincidental how the past in repeating itself. STINGRAY is a c/s used by
US Customs Service boats. PANTHER is the c/s given to the DEA Regional
Headquarters in Nassau, Bahamas.
On 23 February, 1992 on 11288 starting at 0123 I ran across a DEA
operation. For 2 hours I listened as a drug runner's plane was shadowed by
a blacked out USCG/USN radar aircraft at various altitudes from 20,000' to
literally on the deck. I heard it all, altitudes, locations, suspected
drops, you name it and I heard it that night. It was one intercept that I
will long remember.
Although most DEA traffic is encrypted, as this intercept shows its
still possible to hear some interesting transmissions from them. In my
database I have 24 DEA frequencies. They are: 4500, 5227, 5571, 5841, 7527,
7657, 8912, 10242, 11073, 11076, 11288, 11494, 13312, 12907, 14686, 15867,
18171, 18594, 18666, 19131, 20890, 23214, 23402 and 25350. Just for the heck
of it, you also might want to try listening to US Customs frequencies. I
have a list of 29 discrete frequencies. They are 2808.5, 3123, 3369, 3428,
4500, 4991, 5058.5, 7778.5, 9238.5, 9802, 10242, 11073.5, 11494, 12222,
13907, 14493.5, 15081, 15084, 15953.5, 15964, 17601, 17972, 18594, 19131,
20631, 20890, 23214, 25350 and 27870.
I've built up this list from logs and many other sources. I don't know yet
how the recent frequency reorganization plan is going to affect these
frequencies. Only monitoring will answer that question.
Anyway, this should serve as a starting place for your attempts to
follow the DEA. It will take patience, but as RD's and my intercept
shows, when you hit a good one it makes it all worthwhile.
As I said in the beginning of this column, what gets included here will
reflect the information I'm sent. I can't do it without you. See you next
month. 73. Mike

NUMBERS & ODDITIES

editor: Ary Boender
[email protected]
2:283/512.24
---------------------In this column I'd like to deal with the more obscure part of our hobby.
Numbers stations, strange sounds, beeps, pips and items about intelligence
organizations is what have in mind for the 'Numbers & Oddities' (N&O) column.
It is both a difficult and a fascinating part of the hobby. There is little
known of the stations I just mentioned and the main part of the information
here comes from a bunch of dedicated N&O monitors. It is the result of many,
many hours of listening, comparing and discussing the loggings with fellow
dxers.
Useful information can be found in Popular Communications, Monitoring
Times, the Enigma Newsletter and of course DX-Club bulletins. The following
books are also highly recommended: Underground Frequency Guide (Don Schimmel),
Secret Signals (Simon Mason), Uno, Dos, Cuatro (Havana Moon) and Intercepting
Numbers Stations (Langley Pierce).
The most heard numbers stations are operated by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, MI6
Pagina 7
WUN-v01
and BND.
In many countries it is prohibited to listen to utility stations,
particularly to government or military stations. Therefore I will omit the
names of the people who send me their info, unless you want to be mentioned.

Oddities: lots of strange noises, pips and beeps can be heard throughout
the shortwave spectrum. Many of them are simply hets, natural noises or
originate from navigational systems like Omega, Loran and Decca.
Other transmissions however, are more difficult to pin-point. Why would
someone transmit the time in CW without any form of identification, or
what about the stations who transmit the pips and beeps ?
On 4625 kHz a buzzer can be heard 24 hours a day. This one started in the
early eighties as a 2-second pip and changed a couple of years ago into
the buzzer. The station is located in Byelorussia according to a DF-expert.
No-one knows its purpose.
On 4081,3 kHz there is a beep with a duration of 2 seconds which is
transmitted every 4 seconds. No id has ever been heard. Another one can
be found on 3757,1 kHz. A pip is transmitted every second. No id so far.
Also on 4625 kHz is a strange kinda timesignal station. It is best heard
in the late evenings here in Europe and transmits the time (UTC+3 hours)
in CW. No id heard. The time UTC+3 is Moscow time. It is unknown if the
station transmits from the former USSR. The Middle East is also a possible
location.

The WUN Military Column - February 1995
Jim Pogue, editor ([email protected])
Welcome to the first edition of the WUN Military Column. This seems
like a good time to introduce myself, and to tell you a little about my
objectives for this column.
I am 44 years old, and work as a Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. Prior to that, I spent 10 years
(1979-89) in the U.S. Coast Guard as a Radioman. I was stationed at the
Coast Guard's Radio School in Petaluma, Calif.; at Radsta Guam/NRV; and here
in Memphis at Group Lower Mississippi River/NML7. I also spent 4 years in
the U.S. Navy as a Communications Technician-R Branch (Morse Intercept
Operator). There, I was stationed at Naval Security Group Activity
Northwest, Chesapeake, Va.; Commsta San Miguel, Philippines; and aboard USS
Josephus Daniels, USS Mahan and USS Kitty Hawk in the Gulf of Tonkin (1972).
I have authored two books, both published by Gerry Dexter's Tiare
Publications. They are "Coast Guard Radio," and "The Warships Directory,
Vol. I." For those interested, more publishing projects are in the works, so
stay tuned. I've also had several articles published in MT and PopComm over
the years, mostly dealing with military communications issues.
In this column, I hope to cover a wide variety of topics concerning
military communications. Although my area of greatest knowledge and
expertise is in maritime military comms, I will do my best to address all
areas; in other words, whatever flies, floats or fires, and whoever
communicates with them.
I also intend to take a very global approach to coverage. Those of us
who are at the heart of making the WUN a reality, hope to cater to and
involve a very international group of hobbyists in this information exchange
project.
Please share your feelings about these objectives with me. I will do my
best to meet the wants and needs of you who read and hopefully use the
Pagina 9
WUN-v01
information in this column. And perhaps most important of all, please share
your knowledge and experiences as we travel in and through this exciting
hobby.
You can reach me via Internet at [email protected], by FAX at (901)
544-3786, by mail at P.O. Box 3888, Memphis, TN 38173-0888 USA, or by
telephone at (901) 544-3348 [weekdays] or (901) 873-4291 [evenings and
weekends]. So much for the appetizer - now on to the main course:
U.S. ARMED FORCES:
* Tim Tyler tells us a very large joint military exercise involving Air
Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Special Operations forces, etc. is scheduled to
begin Feb. 18. No specific frequencies were mentioned, but we can probably
keep our receivers and ears tuned to the usual military frequencies and
expect to hear a lot in the coming days.
GERMAN COAST GUARD (Kustenwache):
* From U.S. Naval Institute's "Proceedings," we learn that German government
agencies that operate non-naval patrol craft combined their operations Jul.
1, 1994 to form the "Kustenwache" or German Coast Guard. All vessels are
still owned and operated by their original owners. An example of a
Kustenwache vessel is the Sea Border Patrol (Bundesgrenzschultz-see) patrol
boat Neustrelitz. This vessel was formerly the East German guided missile
patrol boat Sassnitz. It was converted for its present use in 1992-93 with
smaller engines, Western-compatible gun systems, and it lost its eight
SS-NX-25 antiship missiles.
PRC NAVY (Jen-min Haichun):
* A Russian spokesman confirmed Feb. 10 that Russia has agreed to deliver 3
or 4 Kilo class diesel attack submarines to the PRC Navy. Plans also call
for more Kilos to be built in Chinese shipyards with Russian assistance.
U.S. AIR FORCE:
* Also from Tim Tyler, 14615 kHz USB is still a GHFS discrete channel for
Ascension. Evidently this frequency did not get caught up in all the recent
aero frequency changes.
U.S. ARMY:
* Some readers may not be aware of the large fleet of vessel the U.S. Army
owns and operates through its Corps of Engineers and Transportation Corps.
These vessels operate on the high seas, in coastal areas and on the immense
inland river system of the United States. The flagship of the Corps of
Engineers' fleet on America's rivers is the M/V Mississippi (M/V Miss). The
M/V Miss is 241 feet long, with a beam of 58 feet. Its height from the water
line to the pilot house is 52 feet, and it draws just 8 feet, allowing it to
operate with ease on the Mississippi River and many of its tributaries. Its
engines develop 6,300 HP, and can move it through the water at 15,75 MPH.
Although it is actually owned by the government's Mississippi River
Commission at Vicksburg, Miss., the M/V Miss serves 90 percent of its time as
a work boat for the Memphis District, where it is homeported. Its main role
is moving barges, equipment and supplies on the river in support of the
Corps' river stabilization mission. You may hear the M/V Miss using either
voice or packet transmissions. Its callsign is AEUI, and the most likely
place to hear it is on 5400 kHz, in either SITOR-B or USB. It will likely be
heard working either the Memphis District (WUG2) or Vicksburg (WUG). If you
hear the M/V Miss and want to send a reception report, address it along with
a PFC to Mr. Billy Brooks at the Memphis District (CELMM-IM-T), U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, 167 N. Main St., Room B-202, Memphis, TN 38103-1894.
* This just in: we have received approval from the national director of Army
MARS to operate from the M/V Miss using the AEUI callsign crossband (military
to amateur) during the annual U.S. Armed Forces Day Communications Tests this
May. This will be an excellent opportunity to log and verify this vessel for
ute
SWLs as well as hams. Special QSL cards will be available. More to follow
on times and frequencies when they are known.
U.S. COAST GUARD:
* Here's an update on what's going on at NRV (formerly a USCG COMMSTA) on the
Pagina 10
WUN-v01
Western Pacific island of Guam. This information comes to us directly from
the Telecommunications Specialist-in-Charge (TCIC) there, TCC Greg Woodward.
Greg says NRV spearheaded the Coast Guard's COMMSYS2000 Initiative (an
ambitious modernization and downsizing program) when it closed the COMMSTA in
1993. A completely new communication center was installed at MARSEC (USCG
Marianas Section - located aboard Naval Station Guam), but the NRV callsign
was retained. NRV, along with the rest of the CG, stopped monitoring 500 kHz
CW as a distress frequency in July/August 1993. In 1993, the WESTPAC LORAN-C
Chain (Gesashi, Okinawa; Hokkaido, Japan; Iwo Jima Island; Marcus Island;
Yokota Air Base, Japan) was transferred to the Japanese Government. Far East
Section (FESEC) at Yokota was downsized and the name changed to Far East
Activity (FEACT). Their current mission is pretty much restricted to that of
a stateside Marine Safety Office (Seaman's documents, pollution response,
etc.). Guam's high frequency CW and SITOR have all been remoted to CAMSPAC
San Francisco/NMC. This is a complex circuit that goes as far as Scott AFB,
IL. It travels over satellite, copper, fiber optics, Pacific Bell, and Navy
and Air Force circuits on Guam. Although all of the keying is done at NMC in
California, and the operators are located there, the actual transmitters and
receivers are still located at Guam's Barrigada Naval Transmitting facility.
Thus, if you hear NRV, you are still in fact hearing a signal from Guam.
Greg also supplies us with a complete list of broadcasts that NRV does. I
have eliminated VHF broadcasts that we obviously won't hear at any distance
from Guam.

NRV also provides communications support for the USCGC Basswood and USCGC
Galveston Island, both homeported at Guam. They use SCN (Systems
Coordination Net), SHFDL (Secure High Frequency Data Link - a packett type
transmission), and SVN (Secure Voice Network). They also support any C-130
aircraft that may deploy to Guam from either CG Airsta Sacramento, Calif., or
Barbers Point, Hi. Here, they use either the standard Coast Guard air to
ground frequencies in the clear, or SAG (Secure Air to Ground).
Thanks Greg, for a great look inside the operations at NRV. Still lots of
opportunities to hear this most remote and distant of the Coast Guard's
communications facilities. If you hear NRV, send your reception report along
with a PFC and return postage to Greg at USCG Marianas Section, PSC 455, Box
176, FPO AP 96540-1056 USA.
* In other U.S. Coast Guard news, here's a new address for Coast Guard Group
Grand Haven, MI: it is 650 Harbor Ave., Grand Haven, MI 49417-1752 USA.
* And a couple of related address changes, good for both CG Station Freeport,
Texas and the USCGC Knight Island - 823 Coast Guard Dr., Freeport, TX 77541
USA.
U.S. NAVY:
* From Steve Schultz, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65 -- that's the aircraft
carrier, not the Federation Starship) is entering drydock at Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock in Virginia. The $30 million overhaul will
concentrate on communications and combat systems, and be completed June 20.
Keep an ear tuned to 4835 kHz USB for Norfolk Shipyard Control, and 7535 kHz
USB for SESEF Norfolk. Either or both may be working the "Big E" in the next
few months.
* The USS Whirlwind (PC-11), eleventh in the Cyclone Class of coastal patrol
vessels, will be commissioned in Memphis, Tenn., on July 1, 1995. The
Whirlwind is 170 feet long, and is designed for coastal interdiction, special
Pagina 11
WUN-v01
warfare missions (that's Navy SEALs folks), and other exciting activities.
As we get closer to the commissioning date, I'll keep you posted on their
transit up the Mississippi River, and possible opportunities to log some HF
transmissions from them.
* The Navy News Service (NNS) reports Pres. Bill CLinton has approved names
for CVN-75 and CVN-76, Nimitz-class aircraft carriers currently authorized
for construction, as the USS Harry S. Truman and the USS Ronald Reagan,
respectively. This represents a change from earlier plans to name CVN-75 USS
United States. The Truman and Reagan will replace two conventionally-powered
aircraft carriers that are reaching the end of their 40-year life spans. The
new vessels are expected to have life-spans of nearly 50 years. Delivery
date for the Truman is set for 1998, and the Reagan 2002.
* Also from NNS, Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine USS Omaha
(SSN-692) was inactivated Dec. 16, 1995.
* The Norfolk Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Corp. will overhaul the USNS Concord
(T-AFS 5)/NACK commending May 1, 1995. Work will last approx. 270 days (see
freqs to listen for in Enterprise item above).
* USNS Capella (T-AKR 293)/NBXO and USNS Antares (T-AKR 294)/NPEJ will change
homeports from Jacksonville, FL to Baltimore, MD, on May 10. These vessels
are operated for the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command by Bay Ship
Management Co.
Well, there you have it folks. I hope you've found some interesting and
useful information here. Please give me your feedback, and tell me what
you'd like to see. Keep spinning those dials, and we'll see you in March.

=============================================================================
Welcome to the premiere edition of the Worldwide UTE News QSL Report.
In this column I will be consolidating reports from WUN members that show
the goodies the postal services of the world have been bringing us.
But
beyond that it's my intent to include QSLing tips and tidbits, including
those elusive utility station addresses that can be so difficult to find.
This first attempt is an eclectic collection without any real attempt on
my part to establish a reporting format for QSLs received. I would
sincerely appreciate the members' input as to what you'd like to see in
this column. Please send me your feedback on the following issues:
1. Should we establish a "standard" format for QSL reporting in WUN?
2. If the answer to #1. is "yes", what items of information do you find the
most useful? Keeping in mind the fact that space (in the form of the
number of bytes consumed by this column) is always a concern, I would
appreciate your ranking of the following items in order of importance to
you:
Frequency
Mode
Number of Days for the reply to be received
Format of QSL received (e.g., PFC, QSL card, letter)
Other "goodies" received (e.g., photos, info sheets, accompanying letters)
Veri-signer's name
Type of station/aircraft/vessel (e.g., Coastal Station, LDOC, B747, C-130,
Bulk Carrier, Frigate, etc.)
Anything else we should be including? Station name/callsign is of course
of prime importance and need not be included in the rankings.
Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated!

=== TIPS & TIDBITS ===
Canadian warships can be reached via two central addresses. For those
homeported on the west coast use: (HMCS XXXXXXXX), FMO Victoria BC,
V0S 1B0, Canada. For east coast ships try: (HMCS XXXXXXXX), FMO Halifax, NS
B3K 2X0, Canada.
Former EXXON tankers now use the name SeaRiver (e.g., the former M/V Exxon
Charleston is now known as the M/V SeaRiver Charleston). To contact ships in
this fleet use: SeaRiver Maritime Inc., PO Box 1512, Houston, TX 77002.
Army PAT Aircraft based at Andrews AFB include PAT 140, PAT 108, PAT 266 and
PAT 026. These are the only jets flown by the Army. A recent QSL from
Pagina 15
WUN-v01
PAT 140 provided the following address: U.S. Army Priority Air Transport
Detachment (Jets), Stop 156, Bldg 1778, Andrews AFB, MD 20331

I tried to squeeze as much info in as I could and used every log that
was sent! Standard abbreviations used. List will follow. A great turn out for
issue #1 with 17 contributors. Thanks! I hope to have a standard format next
time. Quick resume: Heard my first "mayday" in 1969. Took 10 years off from
the hobby to get married/raise kids and jumped back in with both feet in 1992.
I now use an Icom R-71A, Icom R-72 and a Universal M-1000 decoder card in a
386/25 clone. Until recent loss of Speedx, I did the Utility Notes column in
Shortwave Radio Today and the Speedx World of Utilities Electronic Edition. If
your an astute observer you may have read my free lance work. Most enduring
question: What is this button marked "AM" on my radios for? :-)
All times are UTC, and all frequencies in Khz. ARQ is also Sitor-A, FEC
is also Sitor-B, and RTTY is used for baudot.

Tony Orr, Editor
11404 Turnmill Lane
This month I'm the proud father of a brand-spanking "new" used Kenwood
R600 receiver. It was the receiver I used during my formative years of DXing
in the 1980s. Ah, the memories of DXing Burma, Indonesia, Peru, Greenland,
and the Falklands on this radio take me back...:-) We have a lot of territory
to cover this month, so let's get to the information straight away:
A follow-up to the news item regarding the Air Portugal A340's from last
month's column: A340's are now in service on the following routes: TP238
Kinshasa-Lisboa 5 effective 31 March; TP355 Santo Domingo-Caracas-Lisboa 1
effective 27 March; TP374 Rio de Janeiro-Lisboa 6 effective 1 April; TP376
Rio de Janeiro-Lisboa 5; TP396 Sao Paulo-Lisboa 2 and TP398 Sao Paulo-Lisboa
7. ALITALIA has recently entered into a wet-lease arrangement with Ansett
Worldwide Aviation Services to operate two B767-300ERs on the Chicago-Rome
and Boston-Rome runs: AZ665 Chicago-Rome x27 and discontinued after 25 March;
AZ615 Boston-Rome until 23 March 2346, then effective 26 March x36, operates
on 25 March as a special operation. AZ605 is a B767-300ER and operates on
the JFK-Milan (Malpensa) flight daily. Frazer Wright in the United Kingdom
has heard a new airline identifying itself as Sports Lines and using the
three-letter ICAO identifier SPL. Heard working NY ARINC on 6577 at 0005
UTC. Johannesburg Radio Oceanic CTR was heard in Reston 2/21 on 8861.0
working Lufthansa 568 and Springbok 2206 with JNB weather reports, ARPs, and
other information. Times were 0432-0452 and are usually hear when conditions
to Southern Africa/South Atlantic are enhanced. DXer Daniel Wright of
Nebraska, USA checks in with an interesting log of Thule Radio on 8891.0
working United 916 with clearances at 1310 UTC. It is interesting to note the
ID heard here. Sondrestrom Radio is officially listed here, perhaps an
identifier change? By the time you read this, British Airways will have
suspended Concorde service to Barbados for the winter season. If you had the
chance to hear BA272 BGI-LHR then send those reports in now! There is a
report that British will commence 777 service to North America beginning late
this year; possibly a route here to IAD will open? In other BA news,
BA204/205 JFK-Glasgow service has been temporarily suspended due to union
disputes over the number of flight attendants required to staff the B757's.
Service to Birmingham (BA186/187) was also to utilize the 757. No word on
when these flights will resume. BA166/167 are the flight numbers of the
LGW-TPA;TPA-LGW run on behalf of BA by Caledonian. DC10 service begins April
1. In our continuing "catch that Aeroflot flight" series, we concentrate this
month on SU351, IL96 service from Moscow-Sheremetyevo-Sal-Buenos Aires.
Flights operate Sunday/Monday: try the SAT1 frequencies of Dakar, Sal, and
Recife 3452.0/5565.0/6535.0/8861.0 for best results in North America,
2300-0600 UTC for ECNA reception. Catch TAROM-Romania's new A310
Timisoara-JFK service effective March 27. RO003/RO004 operate Mondays and
Wednesdays nonstop. And, last but not least, we've got the flight numbers
for the new Austrian Airlines Vienna-Geneva-Washington-Dulles service. OS515
VIE-GVA-IAD and OS516 IAD-GVA-VIE operate x24 with A310 equipment beginning
March 26.

From Tim Braun comes this interesting item: Chinese authorities have
closed air route A559 to westbound traffic, from Hong Kong to Europe, because
of congestion over Guangzhou, according to Cathay Pacific. As a result,
Cathay's Europe-bound flight must take a more southerly routing, R339, adding
about 14 minutes to the flight time and reducing payloads by about four
metric tons.
Bob Lewallyn from The Woodlands, Texas checks in with the latest
concerning the mystery LDOC that has been heard since last summer operating
on 8095.0/11470.0 USB:
I have been hearing an LDOC station identifying as "Silvair Radio" on
8095 and 11470 kHz USB for more than six months now, working freighter
aircraft over Latin America. Since nobody on Fidonet or the Grove Enterprises
BBS seemed to know anything about it, I took it upon myself to figure out who
this is. When I heard Silvair working CONNIE 830 a few nights ago, I looked
up the phone number for Kalitta American International Airlines (CONNIE ###)
in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and talked to a dispatcher there. She was able to
give me a phone number for Silvair Radio. I spoke with an operator at Silvair
the following morning, and learned the following: Silvair Radio is the HF
flight following service of a firm which also provides dispatch and flight
folder service, primarily for cargo airlines operating in & out of Miami
International. Silvair recently completed its second year in operation. The
emphasis is on serving flights to/from Latin America, although I have heard
Silvair working aircraft on the ground at Detroit. Two HF frequencies are in
use, 8095 and 11470 kHz USB; Silvair recently met with the FCC to discuss the
possibility of additional frequencies. New channels will be approved, but the
frequencies are not known at this time. The person I spoke with was not a
technical type, and so could not give much detail as to the equipment used at
Silvair. She did indicate that the output power was 100-150 watts into a
steerable, directional antenna on top of the building (probably a log
periodic). Contact information: Silvair Radio, 7126 NW 50th St., Miami, FL
33166 phone (305) 599-9667.
As a postscript, I was informed by a fellow WUN list member that other
ute's had determined the identity of Silvair sometime last summer. I still
enjoyed the little bit of "radio detective" work, and wanted to give credit
where credit is due. And that's it from Reston for this month. I've put
the Phoenix and Captain Hennie van der Walt articles, plus a look at Shannon
VOLMET on hold until next month. Until then, keep WUNing it and 73! Tony

---------------------Howdy folks ! Although work, study and the preparation of the extra edition
of the WUN-bulletin took most of my time, I still found some time to edit
this edition of the Digital Review. Please, send me your interesting catches,
news and comments. THANKS !
USAF's Automatic Digital Weather Station 'KAWN' Carswell, has been heard
on 10.997 kHz, transmitting RTTY 75bd coded weather bulletins. KAWN is an
automatic digital switch that takes the meteo data that the USAF wants to
broadcast to various bases and airborne aircraft assets and routes it over
AUTODIN over phone lines to various transmit sites around the world. Here
is a sample message, as received by Reid Kelly. As you can see the UOS
(Unshift-on-Space) is used which results in 5-letter groups instead of
5-figure groups.

Richard Brown sent an interesting note to those who like to monitor the
AWS weather broadcasts on SW, especially on the following frequencies:
3231, 5906, 6904, 11120 kHz. These are transmitting both RTTY data and
Fax maps/pix at the same time using ISB Independent Sideband mode of
transmission.
Basically the two signals are fed into separate modulators, modulated on
a sub carrier, the resulting AM sideband signals are fed thru filters to
remove the unwanted sideband and then the two modulated signals are combined
and fed into the final rf modulator on the assigend freq and sent to the
antenna.
A modulated signal sort of looks like this /|\ the /| is the lower sideband
and the |\ is the upper sideband. Design a filter to act as a high pass of
low pass at the submodulator freq and the unwanted signal is attenuated.
Feed a LSB rtty signal and a USB fax signal into the rf modulator and you
get an AM signal with Independent side bands. When you want to receive the
rtty select the proper receive freq and select LSB, For fax select USB. The
same thing works for a Audio feed for Voice of America on at least one freq,
(sorry I don't have the listing handy) the Upper has one program feed, say in
Arabic and the Lower has another in kurdish (for example purposes only). The
remote xmtr site receives the signal, demodulates the rf to IF and at the
start of the last if splits the signal into 2 paths for independent
demodulation, then 455KC filters (for example) split the upper and lower
sidebands and the selected modulation is then demodulated to audio and
processed to precede a AM signal for cleaning up and rebroadcast on the
International Broadcast bands.
FAX & SSTV: lots of technical stuff
----------------------------------For those who are tired of watching FAX weathercharts all the time, try the
HAM-bands for color faxes and SSTV pictures. 3728 kHz (LSB) is a very popular
frequency for the evenings in Europe like 14.233 kHz for the America's during
the afternoons.
During the past month I received quite a few questions about FAX and SSTV
reception, mostly technical stuff like ''What is IOC and LPM/RPM'' or ''What
meteo stations can I hear on VHF ?''. I asked Fax Guru Marius Rensen to send
me some info, which he did. Although a bit off topic here, there is also a
list of VHF meteo stations included.

==- Chart (UNID) identification -==
1- Find out the technical parameters (LPM/IOC), only stations working
with Russian equipment using LPM 90, that are normally CIS stations
or Ankara Meteo.
2- If the station is transmitting in LSB/288/352 (negative) and LPM 60 it
is normally a Press photo station ie 60/352 or 60/288
3- Look in a corner of the chart for a identification (4) number.
The first two numbers are the originating center indicator (distributed

The End of an Era:
Effective April 1st, 1995, the US Coast Guard will cease all remaining
Pagina 40
WUN-v01
CW operations as a cost-savings measure. Ships will still be able to contact
the Coast Guard on voice and SITOR frequencies. To commemorate Charlie
Whiskey's demise, NMN (CAMSLANT Chesapeake) plans a special event that should
be of interest to utility monitors around the world.
The following announcement is from the MAR 95 issue of the ARRL's
journal, QST. Thanks to Tim Tyler for the tip:
US Coast Guard Communications Area Master Station Atlantic
(CAMSLANT) NMN in Virginia Beach will cease HF Morse code
operation on April 1, 1995.
A final message will be broadcast
on April 1 at 0001Z on 5870, 8471, 12718.5 & 16976kHz. NMN
will issue a special certificate to those who copy the final
message. Submit your copy of the received message to:
USCG CAMSLANT
C/O NSGA Northwest
Attn: TC3 S. Morales
Chesapeake, VA
23322 USA
It should be noted that TC3 Morales has been a good friend of USCG
monitors in the past. I feel fairly certain that this special operation
would probably not be occurring without his personal involvement. A special
thanks goes out to him for his efforts.
* * * * *
Safety, Urgency, and Distress Calls:
Maritime monitors often encounter transmissions that are preceded by
special urgency signals. Here are the definitions of the terms used when
unusual circumstances dictate.
DISTRESS: "MAYDAY", spoken three times, indicates that a vessel is
threatened by grave and imminent danger and commands absolute priority over
all other communications.
URGENCY: "PAN PAN", spoken three times, indicates the safety of a vessel
or a person is in jeopardy, e.g. an urgent radio-medical message, "man
overboard" or "engine failed, request tow". Only distress calls command a
higher priority.
SAFETY: "SECURITE" (pronounced SAY-CURE-E-TAY) spoken three times, indicates
a message that concerns the safety of navigation or an important weather
warning.
Radiotelephone "Silence Periods" occur on the International Calling and
Distress Frequencies commencing on the hour and half hour for a duration
of three minutes. All stations MUST CEASE transmission on 2182, 4125, 6215,
8291, 12290, and 16420 kHz and listen for any distress calls.
* * * * *
According to news reports, the vessel Pacific Pintail, carrying nuclear waste
from France to Japan, has been denied passage through the Panama Canal. The
alternate routing (around either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn) is
unknown. Pacific Pintail is owned by Pacific Nuclear Transport and is
managed by James Fisher and Sons, Fisher House, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria
LA14 1HR U.K. Ships/callsigns in the Pacific Nuclear Transport fleet include
Pacific Pintail/GHHP, Pacific Sandpiper/GDRJ, Pacific Swan/GYAB, Pacific
Teal/GCJZ, and Akatsuki Maru/JPPJ. These might be interesting ships for
maritime monitors to keep an ear open for. I might add that I monitored
the Pacific Teal back in April of 1994 and received a nice reply to my
reception report from the ship's radio officer who indicated that the ship is
an "irradiated nuclear fuel carrier". I particularly enjoy the QSL card from
M/V Pacific Teal as it's the only one in my collection that glows in the
dark.

A letter from Paolo Nicolai, Radio Officer on board the M/V Mariasperanza F,
advises that ships belonging to FERMAR S.P.A. meet daily from 1350 - 1400
UTC on 16543 kHz. Ships in this fleet include the Mariasperanza F/IBUF,
Ignazio/ICVI, Maria Rebecca/ICQR, Carlotta/call???, Guglielmo F/ICFG,
Allegra F/IBIL, and Elisa F/IBXU. The address for FERMAR S.P.A. is:

SS Lane Victory Update: I received an interim reply from Bob Lukenbill,
W6DO, the Chief Radio Officer of the Lane Victory promising that additional
information is forthcoming. In his letter, Bob provides the following info:
The LANE VICTORY was given to the U.S. Merchant Marine Veterans of
World War II several years ago by Congress. For many years it had
rested in the reserve fleet at Suisun Bay, about 75 miles from San
Francisco up the Sacramento River. Since we have been custodians of
this great historical ship, it has been a true labor of love by our
organization in an effort to restore it to full operational status
following many years of inactivity in "moth balls". Today, the LANE
VICTORY is fully operational, but much work remains to be done...
The LANE VICTORY does go to sea on special occasions several times a
year...Primarily, we need to raise over $250,000 to fund this effort.
In any case, a lot is going on aboard our fine ship and it has an
exciting future ahead. Presently, we have the original ship's radio
room licensed by the FCC, with its original callsign, KECW, and restored
to full operational status, supplemented by our amateur radio station,
W6MWO. This latter station is normally on the amateur bands on
Wednesdays and Saturdays from our Ham Shack adjacent to our museum.
Bob also wished us luck with our activities and requested a copy of the
WUN Newsletter (it's on it's way). Hopefully if we can get advance info
on sailing plans for the SS Victory Lane we might be able arrange an
interesting monitoring session with this historic vessel as our "target".
As more information becomes available it will be presented here and via
the WUN Listserver.
That about does it for this month. Thanks to all who contributed to this
month's Nautical News. 'Til next time, FAIR WINDS AND A FOLLOWING SEA...

SURFING THE LONGWAVES
~~~~~
Editor: George Karayannopoulos, N2OWO
(email _temporarily_ c/o Rick Baker, at [email protected])
In this issue we introduce a new column for those utility fans who also
like to venture in radio's basement band. The purpose of the column is to
provide a forum for those with information and news from the world of
longwave radio. Logs should still be directed to the WUN logs column, except
in cases when you log something that deserves further discussion (e.g., weird
signals, an unusual ID configuration, an error in the id "tape" or whatever).
In those cases, send me a copy of your log also.
By way of introduction, I am a radio hobbyist interested in most areas of the
radio spectrum, with special emphasis on non-directional beacon hunting, ham
radio, scanning and ute shortwave (what else?). I volunteered to coordinate
this column, because I always thought that longwave deserves its own "home."
I must say, however, that I will strongly depend on reader (that means YOU!)
contributions to fill the bytes allocated to the column. So, if you have any
worldwide news (e.g., new beacons established, old beacons decommissioned, or
whatever) and information (e.g., tuning tips, equipment reviews, info
Pagina 42
WUN-v01
sources, etc.), send them in! In addition, I'd like to hear about people's
personal experiences (e.g., who you are, your favorite monitoring habits,
strange stations you have heard, etc.). Until I get my personal email account
straight, you can reach me through Rick's address, [email protected].
Based on some initial reader feedback, I decided to spend the first couple of
columns introducing the longwave spectrum and what is there for a hobbyist to
do. Hopefully, some die-hard ute fans will find something interesting and
muster up the courage to come surfing the longwaves with us.
What people usually call longwaves (LW) encompasses several parts of the
radio spectrum. In a strictly theoretical sense, longwaves include Low
Frequencies (LF), Very Low Frequencies (VLF) and Extremely Low Frequencies
(ELF). Yet for hobby purposes, longwave radio covers anything below the
bottom of the MW broadcast band.
Here in the US, FCC regulations break down the spectrum as follows:
3-9 kHz: Not allocated
9-14 kHz: Radio Navigation
14-19.95 kHz: Fixed (non-government exclusive fixed, as secondary
service), Maritime Mobile (government)
19.95-20.05 kHz: Standard Frequency and Time Signal
20.05-59.95 kHz: Fixed and Maritime Mobile (government)
59.95-60.05 kHz: Standard Frequency and Time Signal
60.05-70 kHz: Fixed and Maritime Mobile (government)
70-90 kHz: Fixed, Radiolocation and Maritime Mobile (government)
90-110 kHz: Radio Navigation
110-130 kHz: Fixed, Radiolocation and Maritime Mobile
130-160 kHz: Fixed, Maritime Mobile
160-190 kHz: Fixed, Maritime Mobile (government)
190-200 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation
200-275 kHz: Aeronautical Mobile, Aeronautical Radionavigation
275-285 kHz: Maritime Radionavigation (Radio Beacons), Aeronautical
Mobile, Aeronautical Radionavigation
285-325 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation, Maritime Radionavigation
325-335 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation, Aeronautical Mobile, Maritime
Radionavigation
335-405 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation, Aeronautical Mobile
405-415 kHz: Radionavigation, Aeronautical Mobile
415-435 kHz: Maritime Mobile, Aeronautical Radionavigation
435-495 kHz: Maritime Mobile
495-505 kHz: Mobile (Distress and Calling)
505-510 kHz: Maritime Mobile
510-525 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation, Maritime Mobile (ships only)
525-535 kHz: Aeronautical Radionavigation, Mobile
Naturally, frequencies with fixed and mobile services, where regular ute
comms take place, are covered by other columns. This column will concentrate
on the other types of non-broadcast radio found in these bands. (Beacons of
course don't count as broadcast radio!)
What do all these services _really_ mean, you say? What can a hobbyist hear
in these parts? We'll talk about all that next time. Meanwhile, send in your
contributions.
73 for now

"Return to Scan" indicates the units are through with the specific call and
are switching their radios back to scanning the 10 COTHERN channels for
general calls to their unit.
An "Air Operations Base" is a primary station, while "Air Operations Unit"
is a secondary location.
A "Sector Office" is the primary controller for GROUND units in a given
part of the country, operating remote transmitters on VHF at multiple sites
in its controlled sector.

Many thanks for the interesting listing. I'm going to again request
input from everyone out there reading this article. This column is dependent
on YOU sharing what you come across. Chances are, if you find it interesting
others will also. Until next month....Mike

---------------------Beacons ? NO WAY !
-----------------A couple of years ago the 'slhfb' or 'Single Letter High Frequency Beacons'
could be heard on numerous frequencies throughout the SW spectrum. After
the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many of them disappeared and only
a few survived. Some of them are very active, especially station 'P'. For
many years the stations have been listed by the 'experts' as 'beacons'. I
however, am absolutely convinced that these beacons are in fact channelmarkers for Russian naval stations. In the past dxers have noted Soviet
naval callsigns on the 'beacon' freqs.
The first time I hade a close encounter with the 'real' station was in
December 1990, when I noticed the first RTTY broadcasts on 3807 // 4043
kHz. It started with the 'P' marker, followed by 75bd RTTY, then back to
the marker and into 50bd RTTY and back to the marker again. I monitored
the frequency for another hour or so and after ca half an hour 'P' stopped
and 75bd RTTY began again. The messages were all 5L groups sent in normal
Baudot. No other callsign was used, just the letter 'P'. Then on 22-1-1995,
I finally had a positive id of channelmarker 'P'. On 3262 kHz at exactly
21.00 UTC channelmarker 'P' started it's transmission: 3 groups of 5 P's
followed by 'RMP' (= Navy Kaliningrad), then into the weather forecast
for the Baltic area in plain text. All in CW. Then all went silent.
Apart from station P, also L, S, R, C and V are frequently heard. The
home of the markers are ports where also Russian naval bases are located.
L is located in St Petersburg, S is in Arkhangelsk, C in Moscow, R and V
are yet unknown. The now defunct markers 'U' and 'K' were respectively in
Odessa and in Petropavlovsk.
The odd thing is that I never heard any RTTY on other 'beacon' frequencies,
while C, R, S and V are there for many years. I also don't know anyone else
who did hear anything but the markers. So keep you ears open and let me know
what you hear.

As said 'P' is the most active station, also in digital modes:
3208,00
"BEACON" Kaliningrad 'P' CW
23,07 15.02.95 at 23:12 UTC
into high speed CW, marker silent then into RTTY (see below)
after RTTY cast, the marker was back again.
3208,00 UNID RTTY-System
RTTY 23,15 15.02.95
Synchronization sequence at the beginning, then 50 Baud PSEUDO#
bitstream (POL-ARQ synchronization possible, but this is only a
coincidence)
3807,00 UNID RTTY-system
RTTY 22,15 15.02.95
Same system as on 3208 ! First bits inverted. During the RTTY cast,
the marker was not heard, immediately after RTTY ceased, the marker
Pagina 45

was back as usual.
The 'Russian Man'
----------------The 'Russian Man' numbers stations transmits every morning at 08.00 UTC on
14890 and at 08.20 UTC on 11270 kHz. The format used is as follows:
'615 615 615 40577 40577' repeated for 10 minutes, followed by the next
message. When they are finished a '00000' message is sent.
On 26-2 at 08.00 UTC, the Russian Man was very busy. I wonder who and where
'615' is. This is what I caught: no activity on 11270, only a carrier for a
couple of minutes, all messages were on 14890 kHz. It was also the first time
that a digital mode was heard.

-----I received a couple of loggings accompanied with the question about the
different callsigns.
4665.00kHz
0417h 23 Feb 95 AM
33333 English Numbers
Calling VLB2. Same voice as EE#. Tx continued past 0430
without follow-up "message," just continued call.
The term 'different callsigns' is not exactly correct. The transmissions
begin with a network identifier and sometimes a numerical code to indicate
the status of the message. Just 'VLB' would mean that messages will follow.
VLB1 means 'there is no traffic but a new schedule is being activated',
while VLB2 means 'there is no traffic for you, watch the next schedule'.
The CIA is a well know numbers provider. Here's the sked:

Richard Brown sent us a book-tip:
--------------------------------The Sigint Secrets, The Signals Intelligence war, 1900 to Today
author: Nigel West
publisher: William Morrow & Co Inc, New York
ISBN 0-699-07652-1
'' It's a history (partial) of the British signals intelligence efforts
from the beginning of radio to approx 1986.
For an example, the British government, at one time, required ALL cable
companies to deliver copies of ALL telegrams to them within a period of
10 days of transmission (information suppressed until Feb 1967 (pg 112)''
A new riddle within a mystery, wrapped in an enigma :-)
------------------------------------------------------There's an unid station on 7639.5, 13967.2 and 20.996.2 kHz who transmits
a message every 10 minutes. The transmissions are in Sitor-B (FEC). The odd
thing about this station is the kind of messages it broadcasts. They consist
of two lines. The first line is always a series of 3 even numbers followed
by the time MINUS 8 MINUTES. The time is given in UTC. The second line of
each message is always as follows: 2 dashes, 2 vertical dashes, 5Z 5Z TR TR
and again 2 dashes.
I captured the following transmissions. These are the first lines:
15.48
15.58

The second line of each message: '' --ii 5Z 5Z TR TR -So far no id has been noted.
''
New numbers station
------------------There is a new numbers station on at 19.00 UTC, Mondays on 6645 kHz AM. The
station starts with 3 minutes of Jean-Michel Jarre music, then into 17 5F
groups. Then "again, again" and 17 groups repeated, ending with a minute
or so of the music. YL's pronunciation is odd with 2=Du and definite roll
of the "R"s. The message coding is very peculiar, only certain few numbers
in a few of the 17 groups seem to change each week.
As J.M. Jarre is a French musician and '2' in French is 'deux' -very much like
'du'- I wonder... could this be a French station ?
Numbers Club
-----------I mentioned the Enigma numbers club in WUN #1. For those who are interested
in the European Numbers Information Gathering and Monitoring Association, you
may write for more info to B.R.C., 31 Manor Row, Bradford, West Yorkshire,
BD1 4PS, United Kingdom, or write to e-mail address [email protected]

Chace and the Anonymous guys for your input <<<<<
See ya, Ary

The WUN Military Column
It appears that most of the dust has settled after the launch of WUN,
and I think most contributors to and readers of the first edition were very
pleased. Thanks to Rick Baker for the great job he did (and the many hours
he put into) getting this exciting project off the ground. Kudos also go to
Tim Braun for producing the paper version of the newsletter. I just got a
copy and it looks very professional. Now to the info we have to share this
month.
FRENCH NAVY (Marine Nationale):
* I recently sent a reception report to station 6WW in Senegal, via the Paris
address that appears in several publications. My PFC and a nicely
illustrated form letter came back in a few weeks with the following direct
address: Le Chef des Stations Interarmees des Stations de Yeumbeul et de
Rufisque, BP 3024, Dakar, Senegal.
GERMAN NAVY (Bundesmarine):
* A letter from Petty Officer First Class Christian Janning, first watch
leader in the radio room aboard the guided missile destroyer FGS Molders,
sheds a little light on the activity some of us have been hearing on 6779 kHz
USB. He tells us that what we've been hearing is called the MRL. He
continues, "So what's MRL? MRL stands for 'Maritime Rear Link.' It means
radio teletype on a USB-voice-frequency. Nothing special then but of course
the RATT messages are encrypted. Our contact station DHJ59 is the Naval
Radio Station in Wilhelmshaven in the north of Germany. When we have
messages that are only for national (German) addressees, MRL is a fast way to
set them into the German RATT-net." Thanks for telling us a little about
operations on this interesting frequency. We've also been hearing the same
kind of comms with Bundesmarine vessels and DHJ59 on 8335.5 kHz recently.
NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (U.S.):
The keel for the new 274-foot-long oceanographic vessel NOAAS RESEARCHER, was
laid at Halter Marine in Louisiana on Feb. 21. When delivered in August
1997, the $35 million ship will join a fleet of 18 other NOAA vessels.
RESEARCHER is the first ship to be built for NOAA in nearly 15 years. The
current NOAA fleet has an average age of 30 years and was built in the 1960s.
ROYAL NETHERLANDS AIR FORCE:
* WUN editor Ary Boender sends us information on callsigns used by three
squadrons of this branch of his country's armed forces. They are:
306 Squadron
311 Squadron
312 Squadron

Can you suggest any frequencies where we might hear some of these aircraft
Ary?
ROYAL NETHERLANDS NAVY (Koninklijke Marine):
* WUN electronic publisher Rick Baker reports hearing an aircraft with
callsign PEMMB working USCG CAMSLANT on 5696 kHz USB. Hans Wildschut, aero
ute'er, a member of the Benelux DX-Club, and a brand new WUN member, reports
via Ary Boender that PEMMB and PEMMA are Fokker F-27-MPA's (Military Patrol
Aircraft) aircraft of the Royal Netherlands Navy, based out of the
Netherlands Antilles at Curacao. Bob Lewallyn of The Woodlands, Tx, also
reports hearing these aircraft almost daily on 11178 kHz USB. Koninklijke
Marine warships have also been heard on this frequency.
U.S. ARMY:
In continued downsizing moves, the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) announced
plans this month to move from 12 Divisions to 10 Divisions. For listeners
who follow Army comms, here's how it all breaks out: The 2nd Armored Div. at
Ft. Hood, TX will be redesignated as the 4th Infantry Div. (mechanized) and
the 24th Infantry Div. (mechanized) at Ft. Stewart, GA will be redesignated
as the 3rd Infantry Div. (mechanized). The 3rd Infantry, currently stationed
in Germany will be redesignated as the 1st Infantry Div. An earlier
restructuring plan announced in December 1994 called for the inactivation of
the headquarters and division support units of the 1st Infantry at Ft. Riley,
KS and the 4th Infantry at Ft. Carson, CO. These redesignation's ensure two
of the Army's most famous and decorated divisions remain in the active force.
Also announced in December were the new designations for brigades in Alaska
and at Ft. Lewis, WA. The 1st Brigade, 6th Infantry Div. (light) at Ft.
Richardson, AK will retain its designation but will be aligned with the 10th
Mountain Div (light infantry). The 1st Brigade, 7th Infantry Division
(light), often called the 9th Infantry Regiment (Manchus), at Ft. Lewis, WA
will be redesignated as the 1st Brigade of the 25th Infantry Div. (light).
When it's all said and done, the 10-Division Army will consist of four light
divisions (light infantry, airborne and air assault) and six heavy divisions
(mechanized infantry and armored), all stationed at existing installations.
U.S. COAST GUARD:
Several address changes and updated information to report on the USCG this
month:
* New address for USCGC Point Nowell (WPB-82363)/NLEZ: #1 Wallace Reed Road,
South Padre Island, TX 78597.
* New address for USCG Station Oak Island/NMN72: P.O. Box 1030, Long Beach,
NC 28465.
* Correct callsign for USCG Group Grand Haven, Michigan is NMD32 vice NMF43.
* Construction of three additional 175-foot Ida Lewis Class coastal buoy
tenders has been authorized. Marinette (Wisconsin) Marine Corporation will
do the work for the CG. Construction is scheduled to begin this year and
delivery dates will be in 1997 and 1998. The first vessel in this class the USCGC Ida Lewis - is scheduled for delivery in January 1996. These will
be the second, third and fourth of an expected 14 cutters named for famous
lighthouse keepers. They will replace the 11 aging 133- and 157-foot cutters
and supplement the replacement fleet of Juniper Class seagoing buoy tenders
now under construction. Names and homeports for the three new buoy tenders
have not yet been determined.
U.S. NAVY:
* Here's the latest on new vessel construction, name changes and plans for
the USN + The USS Boxer (LHD-4) was recently commissioned at Ingalls
Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, MS. The 844-foot-long amphibious assault ship will
be homeported in San Diego. It has accommodations for 3,000 troops, and can
carry a mix of assault helicopters as well as six to eight Harrier jets.
+ Two Maersk Line container ships under charter to the U.S. Navy's
Military Sealift Command (MSC) have been renamed for Army Medal of Honor
recipients. The vessels are now the M/V Lt. Col. Calvin P. Titus and M/V
Pagina 49
WUN-v01
Spc. 5 Eric G. Gibson. Conversion to meet Army and Coast Guard standards is
now underway. When completed, they will be delivered to the MSC to become
part of the Army's Prepositioned Afloat Force. After they are loaded with
Army supplies and material in Charleston, SC, the ships will be stationed
with the Army prepositioned fleet in Saipan.
+ In a similar move, the Navy has named five strategic sealift ships
after Army soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor. The large medium-speed rollon/roll-off (LMSR) ships will be operated by the MSC to move Army equipment
to a potential battlefield. The names of the vessels are: USNS Shughart (TAKR 295), USNS Gordon (T-AKR 296), USNS Yano (T-AKR 297), USNS Gilliland (TAKR 298) and USNS Soderman (T-AKR 299).
+ The amphibious assault ship USS Inchon (formerly LPH-12) is scheduled
for a 13-month overhaul for conversion to a mine countermeasure support ship.
The first ship of its kind, the Inchon was redesignated MCS-12 on March 1.
She will be refitted to become flagship and central command platform for mine
countermeasures ships (MCMs), coastal mine hunters (MHCs) and aircraft (HM53E helicopters).
There you have it friends. I hope that you find this month's
information useful, interesting or both. Please keep us in the information
pipeline when you run across a DX tidbit. Ways to get info to me are listed
at the beginning of my column last month. I especially invite our friends
outside North America to get in touch and to share. Tell about some of the
interesting things you run across in your local press. Or share the scoop on
things you are hearing that we are normally not aware of here in North
America. I realize there are some tight restrictions on listening and
sharing info in some countries, thus I promise complete anonymity for anyone
who doesn't want their name associated with anything they have to share with
the rest of us. Thanks again, and gud DX to all.

New Products, Books and Reviews
Rick "RD" Baker, editor
This month we have a review of new book written by longtime Popular
Communications 'Communications Confidential' column editor, Don Schimmel.
"RD" Reviews: The Underground Frequency Guide by Donald W. Schimmel
(3rd Edition) Hightext Publications. Copyright 1994.
Described as "a directory of unusual, illegal, and covert radio
communications", this 3rd edition is undertaken by Don Schimmel taking up
where Harry Helms left off after the first two editions. The format has been
changed somewhat, with a glossary of terms added to help the novice
understand the 'jargon' used and explaining many terms, words and phrases
used in this particular part of the ute hobby.
Softcover bound and coming in at 209 pages, this book walks the reader
through such chapters as "Numbers Stations" (what is a 'cut' number...),
"Monitoring Mystery Networks", "The Underground Frequency List" which
provides one with a very complete list of these known types of stations in
SSB, CW and RTTY, along with several other chapters.
Besides the Glossary already described, appendixes include a list of
references and a list of prosigns and abbreviations.
If you have ever been interested in these types of stations and want to
learn more about them, this books for you. I used the review copy to solve a
mystery reception in RTTY the same day it arrived! A thumbs up here.
Most likely available wherever SWL hobby books are sold, The Underground
Frequency Guide by Donald W. Schimmel (ISBN 1-878707-17-5) can also be
ordered direct from Hightext Publications Inc., P.O. Box 1489, Solana Beech,
CA 92075, USA for U.S.$14.95, tell them you read about it in the WUN
Newsletter! -DE RD

I am now using a database to assist in preparing this column's QSL listing.
Therefore, if at all possible I would appreciate it if contributors would
provide their input for the QSL Report in the following format:
station identifier
freq
mode QSL #DAYS REMARKS
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxx.x xxx
xxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(maximum of 27 characters)
(3)
(3) (3) (max of 24 char's)
Form of verification (PFC/LTR/QSL)__/
Using this format I can easily import ASCII text files into the database
and it will drastically reduce the time it takes to manually enter the data
to compile a consolidated listing of all members' input. Thanks!
Of course, if you are unable to format your reports in this manner I'll
still gladly accept them. :-)
Without further ado, here's what the postal services of the world have
brought to our members lately.

=== TIPS & TIDBITS ===
A note included in a recent QSL received from Perth Radio (VIP) indicates
that there's been some restructuring/corporate merging down under. All
coastal radio stations now belong to "Telstra" which is a merger of the
former OTC and Telecom Australia. Up to date addresses for the 6 Australian
coastal stations are:
Darwin Radio, 16 Gregory Street, PARAP, NT 0820, Australia
Perth Radio, 620 Gnangara Road, LANSDALE, WA 6065, Australia
Melbourne Radio, Boneo Road, CAPE SCHANCK, VIC 3939, Australia
Sydney Radio, Jennifer Street, LA PEROUSE, NSW 2036, Australia
Townsville Radio, 19-23 Wackett Street, PALLARENDA, QLD 4810, Australia
Brisbane Radio, 881-891 Bribie Island Rd, NINGI, QLD 4511, Australia
Derek Cooper (UK) provides the following centralized addresses for
non-directional beacons:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chapter 1: The story so far <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The first encounters in the USA with the 'Brotherhood' stations were in
the late 70's when they still used high speed CW (ca 32 WPM). Most of the
early CW stations (PSN, BPA, SPK, WNY, YBU) are still active today. 'ROL'
however disappeared completely. In the mid 80's the RTTY transmissions
started. The speed used was 50bd. Messages to YBU were the most common
ones in those days. Also messages to PSN were monitored. The callup was
slightly different from the system that is used nowadays:
VVV PSN PSN PSN 2/245 VVV PSN PSN 2/245
NW NW
NR 271 GR 135
+ 5L or 5F groups
Then sometime in the mid-1980's they changed to the 5 group preamble they use
now. But the original link designators were different then.

Traffic has always been the same group of cypher systems including the
substitution group at the end.
By the late 1980's they were being reported in most of the UTE publications.
Don Schimmel reported them in one of the earliest issues of Monitoring Times
as UNID and Bob Margolis reported them in PoPComm.
The NDO link has always been a strange one. Not much activity. Only one sked
Pagina 78
WUN-v01
a week (on Wednesdays) and even that is not granted. The WFO / MIG link is
the only known 2-way link in the Americas. Although it still operates somewhat clandestinely - minimum amt of chatter, etc. The station sending WFO is
definitley the Cuban end (by propagation and bearings). The other end has been
pin pointed in the New York City area, probably the Russian UN delegacy.
In the late 80's an European network of RTTY stations popped up, similar
to a network that was active in the America's. Both networks are still very
active today.
The master station in Europe was 'RCF'. Several frequency guides listed RCF
as Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Moscow. After the disintegration of the
USSR, the 'RCF' callsign disappeared. The new master station is as powerful
as RCF was and one thing is for sure: this station is located in or very
near Moscow as well. The station was DFed various times and every time Moscow
appeared to be the source of the signal. It is very likely that RCF is still
alive and kicking, but doesn't use its old callsign anymore.
Whether the master station or RCF really is / was MFA Moscow will probably
remain a mystery. There are many other suggestions though varying from a
shipping network to possible connections with TASS, KGB or GRU.
I stick to the theory that this is a diplo network. Whenever something hot
is happening, like the Chechenya actions, the stations of the Brotherhood
are making overtime, even on Sundays, while there are normally no transmissions on Sundays. The only station that is often heard on Sundays is BFR,
which may indicate that it is possibly located in an Islamic country.
The master station transmits crypted messages (5-letter or 5-figure groups)
to the other stations. There are fixed schedules for a couple of stations
while others are reported less frequently. During the time that RCF was still
in place they didn't need to have fixed skeds, as the traffic list system was
being used. Now that this system is no longer in use, each link has one or
two fixed skeds on an assigned frequency pair. This system is probably much
safer, as the sender knows that the recipient received the message correctly.
The auto-broadcasts to a.o. KUL, VKX, RAU and RKD are probably just circulars
or routine traffic sent to the specific networks (transmitted blind and
therefore repeated throughout the day on a larger number of frequencies).
It appears that almost all the callsigns that were on RCF's traffic list are
still there.

DKR
RJA
VNB and vice versa
UXW
JUA
CAZ
KUA
DKR
BFR and vice versa
RPO
UDZ 21
JUA
The callups and messages can be divided into two groups: the most common for
the America's and Europe goes as follows: ''4646464646464646 KUL KUL KUL KUL
1/226''. Note that 46's are transmitted instead of RY's, then the callsign
of the recipient and the number of messages / number of 5-letter or 5-figure
groups in this message.
The other one is yet only noted in Europe. The transmissions start with a
selcal of 6-tones (the system is called Mazielka), followed by the callsign
of the recipient sent in CW, then into RTTY where the preamble is handkeyed
while the other system has an automated preamble. The Mazielka callup is
fairly new, it has been reported since mid 1994.
The Mazielka is a selcal system that is used by the master station to wake
up a station outside the normal fixed sked. It is only used to catch the
operators attention, not to start the equipment remotely (just like the
selcal used in aircraft). The fact that they switch to CW after the Mazielka
Pagina 79
WUN-v01
is a sure sign that the operator has to prepare the equipment before they
can start the transmission. The use of non-error correcting RTTY systems
makes it practically impossible to establish a link automatically. The
Mazielka has never been heard during the normal schedule times, so probably
the Mazielka is used when there are very urgent messages that cannot wait
'till the regular schedule time. It seems that there are specific channels
for rush traffic as well.
I think that a couple of the callsigns are not in use by only one station,
but that KUL, VKX, RAU and RKD are in fact the callsigns of networks. This
could mean that the automated transmissions to KUL etc include messages for
all stations in such a network. This does not necessarily mean that there is
only one callsign for every station in a network. As far as we know every
station has a callsign of its own. However, the master station seems to use
more than one callsign. VNB, KKK and RGA, which are believed to be transmitting from the same location are most probably callsigns of the master
station. It seems that the master receives a different callsign on each
specific two-way link.
What did we find so far ?
------------------------We have found several clues about the preambles and QSL system. Let's take
a closer look at the preambles. Each message starts with a preamble consisting of 5 groups, followed by the message itself. A typical preamble
looks like this: 11177 00142 23687 05012 01109.
1st group: probably a message identifier, stating what kinda message it is,
maybe also a priority code. 11144, 11166, 11177 and 11199 are the
combinations heard so far. The most common are 11177 and 11199.
The latter is being used for QSL purposes.
2nd group: the link-identifier, each link has its own id, except for stations
who have a two-way link, in that case both stations have the same
link-id.
3rd group: the crypto-factor.
4th group: the first two digits are the date and the last three are the
message number.
5th group: the first four digits represent the number of groups in the
message + 1. The extra group is most likely the crypto-factor
(3rd group of the preamble). The last digit is either a '1'
or a '9'.
After the messages have been sent, the operators sometimes have a little chat.
In the America's the conversations are in often poor English while on the
European side often cyrillic is used and also German words are used.
As I mentioned earlier, there are also QSL messages. The original messages
can be transmitted on other frequencies and even on other days then the day
the QSL messages gets out. The first group of the preamble is always 11199.
The messages always seem to start with 55555 followed by 77011, while the
last groups represent the QSLed messages. A typical QSL preamble and
message looks like this:
11199 00142 00000 18010 00069
55555 77011 00089 00090 00091
Five different cipher systems have been noted:
1) The 3rd group of the preamble
groups.
2) The 3rd group of the preamble
consists of 5L groups.
3) The 3rd group of the peramble
consists of 5F groups and the
is 00000 and the message consists of 5L
consists of random digits and the message
consists of random digits and the message
last group is NOT 11111.
Pagina 80
WUN-v01
4) The 3rd group of the preamble is 00000 and the message consists of 5F
groups and the last group is 11111.
5) The 3rd group of the preamble is 00000 and the message consists of 5F
groups and the last group is NOT 11111.
The Brotherhood uses various RTTY modes, the most common is Baudot 75bd.
Sometimes 50 or 100bd is used. They also use a Russian version of Piccolo,
better know as Crowd36 or CIS Piccolo, Other, yet unknown, exotic modes are
used as well. Then there is ofcourse the Mazielka and CW is used as well,
mostly for chatting and callups.
Who are the partners in this Brotherhood ? Well, it's all guesses ofcourse.
No-one steps forward and says 'he you guys, it's me you're looking for' :-)
According to DF-research, the European master station must be located in
the Moscow region, while the WFO / MIG link is a link between Cuba and
the New York area, probably the Russian UN legation. Station GMN could be
located in Mexico City.
In 'Soviet Signals Intelligence' by professor Desmond Ball, he listed Soviet
Sigint Posts located in the Western Hemisphere. The sigint posts are in
Mexico City, Washington 2x, New York City, San Francisco, Managua, San Jose,
Buenos Aires, Montreal, Ottawa, Chicago and Lima.
So far, 13 transmission schedules have been noted for the Brotherhood in the
America's. There are 12 listed sigint posts and 13 schedules, so if there is
a connection between the schedules and the sigint posts, then there must be
at least one more sigint post.
The European scene is a bit different; we have not yet determined where the
out-stations are located. Most probably outside Russia and in the eastern
part of the country.
Then there are the QSF messages: 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 7/1, 8/1, 9/1 QSF3
The official meaning of the QSF-code is ''I have effected rescue and am
proceeding to base''. We can safely assume that the Brotherhood-QSF's have
nothing to do with the official meaning of the code. Intensive monitoring of
the stations revealed that QSF2 means a normal schedule, QSF4 means no
schedule and QSF3 is yet unknown but could mean that an alternative schedule
will be used. On the days that QSF1 had been indicated a QRU was sent.
There is a very significant feature to the 5-letter traffic. The last group of
every message is a simple substitution which indicates the date the message was
composed and the group count which is always 3 less than the group count shown
in the preamble. The substitution is:
O

I

For example:

QKANG XOBJZ ..................... VEVXX UEORW
The last group translates to 26057 -- 26th of the month, 57 groups.
ETFNJX TKAGAS
------------On the American network the sequence 'ETFNJX TKAGAS' is frequently heard.
It is always transmitted in sloppy FSK Morse for a couple of minutes and
then the transmission stops or continues in RTTY. Because the sloppy way
in which this message is keyed, it most probably should read 'E/NJX TKAGAS'
but also E/NJX QAG AS is possible.
The station simply comes up without any callsign and begins broadcasting
ETNJX TKAGAS over and over for a period of ca 10 minutes. On most occasions,
approximately 30 minutes later, one of the regular stations comes up and
sends normal traffic but out of the fixed schedule for that station. The
'ET' messages have never been observed on the regular daily scheduled
frequencies. They are transmitted on the same frequencies as the QWK
Pagina 81
WUN-v01
messages that are also on the air for the last 15 years. The QWK messages
are are sent several times a year on one of the regular schedules along
with the regular traffic. For example, on Dec. 3, 1994, the following was
at the beginning of BPA's regular schedule:
QWK QDG FM 5/12 TO NEXT QWK
FM 00.00 TO 13.00 QSW 10698/7684/13532
FM 13.00 TO 24.00 QSW 16224/13532/19612
Also on Dec. 3, 1995 the following was sent at the end of SPK's regular
traffic:
FM 00.00 TO 12.00 QSW 10183/7418/13227
FM 12.00 TO 24.00 QSW 19808/16144/13227
ET messages have been heard on every one of the daytime frequencies listed
in the messages above. And these messages on these frequencies are almost
always copied on a Saturday or a Sunday, but occasionally during the week
as recently as March 22, 1995. The QWK message then seems to say "During
the times indicated I will use the following as _standby_ or _alert_
frequencies." Until February 1995, there were no reports of such a string
on the European network.
Recently a sequence, very much like the American one, was heard and it was
keyed in the same sloppy way. The sequence was slightly different from the
American one. This one reads 'E/NJX TKAZAS'. The string was recorded and
played back for -I guess- a million times by several monitors and fed into
a couple of decoders. Although it was a tough one to write down, we are 100%
certain that the string is correctly decoded.
Bloopers
-------A couple of years ago, right at the moment that the WFO callup should
find place, a numbers tape came up. After a moment it was terminated and
replaced by the WFO callup tape. On another occasion the WNY callup tape
was replaced by a PSN tape. After a few repetitions of the '464646 PSN PSN'
lines, the correct WNY callup tape was transmitted. This proves the theory
that also the American network has a master station.
CW powerhouses
-------------Although it is just an uneducated guess, I believe that the CW powerhouses
that can be heard on numberous frequencies, belong to the same organisation
as the RTTY network. These stations transmit 5L or 5F groups and often use
odd Q-codes. In several occasions a CW station transmitted at the same time
as a RTTY station and was only a couple of kHz away. The signals were equal
in strength and they faded at exactly the same moment.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chapter 2:
Chatter, preambles and messages <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A typical preamble for a message on link 60069, followed by the message
which consists of 52 5-letter groups. As you can see the 5th group of the
preamble states that there are 53 groups in this message. That is because
the last group of the preamble is actually the first group of the message.

----------------------------------------------------------------------The master station in Moscow sends out messages to KUL, VKX and
several others at a fixed daily schedule. Note the '46' test slip
instead of 'RY'. 'KUL' is the callsign of the recipient, there are
3 messages with a total of 535 5-letter groups. (messages shortened)

----------------------------------------------------------------------The station that started my interest in this network was RCF.
I captured its signal for the first time in the early eighties.
Several frequency lists listed this station as MFA Moscow.
RCF often transmitted callup lists that are similar to the
traffic lists that many of you may know from coastal stations.
Note the significant difference between the callups in the above
listed examples and the RCF broadcasts below. RCF started their
messages with DE RCF, while the master station now only uses the
callsign of the recipient, not their own callsign !

----------------------------------------------------------------------A difference between the European and American networks is the lack of
chatter on the American side. Here in Europe we have occasional chatter
between the operators. In the America's this seldom happens. The words
'TIKAS' and 'SEE' are often used, mostly when the operators have a
'technical' chat. 'TIKAS' probably comes from Ticai or Tikat which means
'to tick' in various Slavic languages. So TIKAS probably means 'ticker'
or 'telex operator / telex / telegram / telex machine' or whatever. The
use of SEE in "OM AS SEE A UR PER?" indicates this translation as well
(see below for KUA traffic). In this case it would be used as "OM wait,
look at your perforator"

-> TIKAS in this sense, probably refers to telegram traffic on hand
-> for 'PTF' and 'KUA'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------The following was heard on the KUA link. Note the last paragraph in
which the operator asks if he may use a Russian register to continue.
The RTTY message was sent in 'normal' shift while it is easier for
the operator to chat in 3rd shift Cyrillic, or what he calls 'Ruskih
registrow'.

Analysis shows that starting at the third group, this message
uses a trinomial (3-digit) code. When sent as 5F groups, the
first two digits of each 5F group are nulls. All of the code
groups begin with either a 6 or a 7 except for the one group
(repeated three times in the message) which uses 44 as the nulls.
----------------------------------------------------------------------What do you think of this chatter by NDO's operator:
"SULTAN BORN DOTHER (3500/54)" good example of bad English; I
assume the 3500/54 is the weight and length in metric of the new
born daughter.

In an effort to expand the scope of coverage in this column, I have
attempted to increase the amount of aero information from other areas of the
world besides the usual Transatlantic coverage. We have quite a bit of ground
to cover this month, so let's get at it!
Air Club International (Canada) will not start weekly Toronto-Tel Aviv
charters as planned May 7. However, the airline is scheduling Toronto-Belfast
/Cardiff/Glasgow/London (LGW)/Manchester/Newcastle charter routes this
summer. All routes will be operated by A310 aircraft. Listen up for flights
from Vancouver and/or Calgary to Amsterdam/Belfast/Frankfurt/Glasgow/London
(LGW)/Manchester utilizing A310 or 747 aircraft. Transatlantic charters from
Canada 3000 Airlines this summer will include routes from Toronto to
Amsterdam/Copenhagen/Dusseldorf/Birmingham/Glasgow/London (LGW)/Manchester.
also from Western Canada will be charters from Vancouver and Calgary to
Amsterdam/Dusseldorf/Glasgow/London (LGW)/Manchester. Technical stops will be
at Keflavik, Iceland. Effective May 1, Delta will begin service to Berlin
(Tegel) from New York (JFK) and New York (JFK)-Helsinki-St. Petersburg (LED).
Kiwi International Airlines will begin Newark-Bermuda service effective May
4. Continental Micronesia begins Guam-Sydney service starting April 16.
United will add service to Belo Horizonte, Brazil from Miami beginning June
13. And, last but not least from North America, USAir will add CharlotteBermuda service effective May 7, and Boston/Philadelphia-Frankfurt service
begins June 11 as Charlotte-Frankfurt service is dropped. The British Airways
route to Birmingham from New York (JFK) was resumed on February 20. This is
daily 757 service. BalairCTA will soon be shut down by its parent corporation
Swissair. Long-haul charters will be taken over by Swissair. Lufthansa will
add Lima to its timetable on July 1 as it begins Frankfurt-Caracas-Lima A340
service three times weekly. And speaking of Lufthansa, as of March 26 both
Frankfurt-toronto and Frankfurt-Washington (Dulles) have reverted to 747s.
LH was utilizing A340s on those routes, flight numbers are LH418/419 FRA-IAD
and LH474/475 FRA-YYZ. Austrian Airlines has begun its Vienna-GenevaWashington (Dulles) service using A310 aircraft. However, plans are underway
to replace the A310 on this route with one of two new A340-200s that the
airline has. A340s will also be operated on Vienna-Beijing, ViennaJohannesburg, and Vienna-New York routes sometime this summer. The ViennaChicago route has been dropped as of March 26. Ukraine International (ex-Air
Ukraine International) will operate the following flights from Kiev-LvovToronto and Toronto-Lvov-Kiev on April 15 and April 29: 6U5201 and 6U5202
will operate with IL62 equipment. El Al Israel Airlines began Tel Aviv-Newark
service on March 28. The airline will also operate a special one-time charter
Seattle-Tel Aviv to coincide with the delivery flight of a new B747-400.
Take note HF monitors: June 15 is the date for this one. Don't miss it!
Effective March 30 Uzbekistan Airways will start A310-300 service from
Tashkent-Riga-New York (JFK). Asiana Airlines will add Seoul-Seattle
B767-300ER service on May 20. OZ will ply that route three times weekly.
Keep an ear out fro Malaysia Airlines' new A330 service from Kuala
Lumpur-Darwin-Cairns beginning April 3. In addition, Thai International
Airways is operating the A330 on routes to Singapore (TG403/TG413/TG409/
TG401), Manila (TG621), Osaka (Kansai) (TG623), and Taipei (TG635). Let's
not forget Cathay Pacific whose elegant advertisements are seen every Sunday
night here in Virginia on the Rugby America cable television show: A330s are
scheduled from Hong Kong-Taipei (CX460/CX400), Bangkok-Hong Kong (CX712),
Hong Kong-Kuala Lumpur (CX721), and Hong Kong-Penang Fridays and Saturdays
(CX729). QANTAS has added Melbourne-Bangkok service as of March 28. Also,
Beijing-Sydney, Melbourne-Manila, and Melbourne-Osaka service will have
started by the time you read this. Avia Airlines will operate thrice-weekly
Johannesburg-London (LGW) beginning May 9. IATA code will be GW and will
operate with a leased B747SP. Atlantic Airlines is another new African
airline on the scene, flying Banjul/Freetown-London (LGW) B757 service
twice-weekly. Aircraft is leased from Monarch. And for those who lurk on 5643
and 8867 waiting for those rare Pacific DX catches, be on the lookout for
North Pacific Airlines who are planning to start services between Norfolk
Island and Brisbane, Sydney, and New Zealand with B737-300s. No start-up
date is available. The new airline ALYEMEN is the result of the ong-awaited
merger between Yemen's two airlines, Alyemda and Yemenia. A310 weekly service
between Aden and London has recently been resumed. DY310 operates on Sundays
Pagina 95
WUN-v01
as well as the return flight DY311.
I've heard a few new three-letter codes on the air in the past few
weeks, including TCJ301 wkg Recife Radio IFSS on 8861, SVT205 wkg Canarias on
8861, and JSC974 in contact with Algiers and Niamey on 8894. Any help with
IDing these new carriers would be greatly appreciated. Bulawayo R. ATC
Zimbabwe was heard here in Reston on 8903 attempting contact with Kisangani
and Lubumbashi Radios Zaire at 0339-0340 UTC. Also, Kisangani R. was heard
working Ethiopian 930 at 0208 UTC, all of these receptions were on 3/23/95.

Peter Ivakitsch, Weston, Ontario, Canada brings us this report from Toronto:
1) Aeroflot plan to introduce B-767-300 service on the Moscow-Mirabel route,
flights operate Mondays and Fridays. Talks are also underway to start
scheduled service to YYZ, YVR, YYC.
2) Air Canada will commence twice weekly service to Tel Aviv from Toronto
using B-767-333ER aircraft. This marks the first scheduled service to the
Middle East for Air Canada, start up date is June 20th.
3) Air Europa have started their charter program to YYZ from the Canary
Islands. Flights stop in Halifax and B-757's are used on this route.
4) Cathay Pacific are reporting that the success of their Hong Kong Toronto
route has them planning and increase in service from 3 flights to 5 flights
per week.
5) Egypt Air are seeking approval for service to Toronto, all flights would
arrive Via New York.
6) KLM will introduce MD-11's on their twice a week service to Calgary
beginning June 25th, and on their 4 times a week service to Vancouver
starting June 28th.
7) Korean Air are back to using B-747-4B5's on their Toronto route, this
replaces the B-747-200/300 and occasional MD-11 that had been servicing
Toronto.
According to an article in the Washington Post March 25, the Federal Aviation
Administration has begun proceedings to revoke the operating certificate of
Miami-based Arrow Air, better known to HF aero enthusiasts by their
distinctive callsign "Big A." Arrow Air voluntarily grounded 18 of its
aircraft on March 17 when FAA inspectors could not find key training and
Pagina 96
WUN-v01
repair records. At the time, Arrow Air spokesmen stated that the problem
ended there, but further inspection by the FAA has revealed other, more
serious problems with possibly falsified maintenance documents. FAA Director
David R. Hinson said in a statement that Arrow Air had failed to provide
records documenting compliance with FAA airworthiness directives because the
airline had failed to carry out some of the safety orders. The FAA
said that in some cases, Arrow Air had flown its Boeing 727 and McDonnell
Douglas DC-8 aircraft as many as 1,600 flights after it should have made
required FAA modifications. Stay tuned to International Civil Aero for
further developments.
A Review:
Airlines and Airports Coding and Decoding, 1995/1996, by Erik Derogee, Simon
Paul, and Peter von Stelle (2nd Edition) EPS Aviation Productions. Copyright
1994
The newest edition of this book was published in October, 1994. Suffice
it to say that this book is so exhaustive in its coverage of Airline and
Airport codes that you'll probably find everything you're looking for inside.
The book is separated into two main sections, Airlines and Airports. The
Airlines section is divided into alphabetical listings of carriers by 1.
airline name, country, three-letter code, and callsign; 2. by three-letter
code; 3. by two-letter code; 4. by callsign. The airports section is divided
as follows: 1. airports by location, country, four-letter code, and threeletter code; 2. four-letter code; 3. and finally by three-letter code,
four-letter code, location, and country. A final section lists all province/
state and general abbreviations used in the book. The only thing missing is
the geographical coordinates of the airports which would be a useful tool for
DXers. Need to know where OSDZ is located? Or which airline uses the threeletter code KGA? Yes? Well, this is most certainly the book for you!
Available in North America from BUCHair, PO Box 750515, Forest Hills, NY
11375-0515 or contact the publisher directly for a list of European and
Worldwide dealers at EPS Aviation Productions, PO Box 221, 3440 AE Woerden,
The Netherlands. Price is $25.95US from BUCHair.
Well, by the clock on the wall its time for some DX. If I continue much
further I'd take up half of the bulletin, so we'll quit here and let the
other editors have some space! Thanks to all the contributors this month.
As always, if you find something of interest, do not hesitate to send it my
way. Next month, I will begin a series of what I hope to be informative
articles for those DXers who are new to civil aero DXing, hopefully
shedding some light on this fascinating segment of utility listening. As
always, for the latest in International Civil Aero news, check in next month,
same page, same club: WUN 73 from Reston! Tony

---------------------Hi, welcome to the 4th edition of the Digital Review.
The WUN-Staff received many requests for a digital FAQ. Fellow WUN-member
Stan Scalsky designed a digital signals FAQ and allowed WUN to utilize it
for your benefit. Mike Chace did the decoders part. You did a great job
guys ! At the time of writing a few details had to be changed so I don't
know when the FAQ will be available. It will be very soon though. We'll
keep you posted. As lots of modes are known under different names, I have
included a list of synonyms in this issue of the Newsletter. It would be
nice if we all stick to the same names.
Before I start I must say that the input so far is VERY disappointing.
ONLY ONE MEMBER SENT ME SOME INFO THIS MONTH. Please remember that this
is a club newsletter and I think that members should share information
that they gather and not just read stuff that others write. I really need
your input to write this column. I cannot do this on my own every month.
Irish military stations
Pagina 97
WUN-v01
----------------------The Irish military are active on 2461.5 (designator F5), 3451.5 (F1),
4601.5 (F2), 6901.5 and 7701.5 kHz using Sitor A and B.
Although Klingenfuss lists them as UN stations, they are actually normal
military stations serving mainly the navy, but also the air force and army.
Many messages are encrypted but plain text is transmitted as well.
During the 2 years that I listen to the Irish, I caught the following
stations: 0A, 3, 12, 13, 46, 47, 57, 75, 80, 87, 89, 93, 97 and 376. Most
callsigns have also been noted as PT+no. Selcals: XSFC (= 0A), XSFM, XVQV
(=13), CVVA, CVVD, CVVE, CVVI (= 75), CVVO, CVVZ (= 87). Note that XSFC
is the official ITU callsign of the Irish coastal station Valentia Radio.
XSFM is also allocated to Ireland. The others are not ITU selcals. The
CVVx selcals can be translated to figures according to the standard ITU
rules: CVVO = 36004, CVVI = 36005, CVVD = 36008, CVVA = 36009 etc.
Therefore I think that the CVVx selcals are actually navy ships and the
other selcals could either be fixed navy stations or air force/army
stations.
The 'master station' or 'control' is '0A' in Dublin. As '13' is the most
active station beside '0A' and also has another selcal (XVQV) than the
ships, I think that this station could be the Irish Navy on Haulbowline
Island, Cork as this is actually their HQ. There are only 7 ships in the
Irish fleet so the CVVx selcal series should be enough for all the vessels.
The fleet: 1 corvette: Eithne and 6 patrol vessels: Deirdre, Emer, Aoife,
Aisling, Orla and Ciara. 2 civilian Sikorsky S61 heli's are used for SAR
operations.
Swedish military stations
------------------------The Swedish military can be found on a bunch of frequencies: 38, 1874,
1889, 2626, 3038, 3106, 3134 and 4548 kHz with 50 bd RTTY transmissions.
The Swedish test slip 'Flygande Bckasinger' is often transmitted. Most
traffic is encrypted though. Sometimes navigational warnings and weather
are transmitted. The callsigns are often names like PIA, JULIA, AGNES,
FRIDA, EBBA, ZORA, CESAR, HANNA, KLARA, WANDA, IRMA, SIGURD and QUINTA.
Other callsigns include IDZ, FQV, HIA and FQY. Messages are directed to
FAPAB, FAHAA and FAPKD.
Gas Field DXing
--------------An active network of SITOR-A stations can be heard from the Persian
Gulf. The unid stations on 3208.5 kHz are probably rigs, supply
vessels, tugs, barges and tankers. I heard them almost every night
during the past few weeks. Most messages are sent to WAFFA.
WAFFA has selcal IPIP (ITU nr 55555) and is probably one of the rigs.
Another selcal that is used is PTXQ (ITU nr 15012) which belongs to
Pipe Lay Barge PLB-648. This barge is also very active and sends many
reports to WAFFA while several others messages were addressed to Zadco
- AUH (AUH = UAE, I'm sure) regarding the 'Zirku Gas Project'.
Zirku is a tiny island in the Persian Gulf and belongs to the UAE.
Its position is 24.51.67N 053.94.75E. So, there are our friends !
There were also reports from vessels like mv VIVI, a supply vessel,
and mv DEENA, an oiler, both sailing under the flag of the UAE. An
unnamed tug reportedly departed for Sadiyat in the UAE. The gasfield
was named 'C A Bombay High Field'.
Other vessels involved in this network were tug Gray Range, supply
vessel Azraq and mv Geraldine who also sent a message to Zadco.
I also found this network in the Utility Guide '95 on 8221.5 kHz.
Klingenfuss lists PLB-648 as an Unid Aramco oil rig. As PLB is a barge
and no rig, this can't be right. Besides that it is more logical that
the Emirates use their own rigs and not rigs from Aramco in Saudi Arabia.
German government and police stations
------------------------------------Reinhard Klein-Arendt sent us this item on German stations. The German
Bundeskriminalamt, Landeskriminalamt and Ministry Of Interior can be
heard on many frequencies. Most of these stations transmit in ARQ-E 96
Pagina 98
WUN-v01
or 72 baud. MOI's HQ in Bonn uses callsign DER. The master stations of
the Federal Countries (belonging to the Federal Border Police and the
Bundeskriminalamt) use callsigns DER20/DER99.

Additionally there are lots of abbreviations used to form the address of
a station. I.e. HF is MOI Bonn, HH is Hamburg, a typical "callsign" would
therefore be: HFVHH, which means Bonn to Hamburg on channel 'V'. The letter
'V' in the center of the header of a message is the channel indicator; 'V'
is the primary channel, 'W' would be the secondary and so on to 'Z'. The
triple letter group in the header indicates the degree of urgency of the
following message: "EEE" stands for an "Einfach-Meldung" (simple message),
"SSS" stands for "Sofort-Nachricht" (immediate message), "BBB" stands for
"Blitz-Nachricht" (flash message) and "AAA", as highest degree stands for
"Staatsnotstand-Nachricht" ("State Emergency message").
Daytime frequencies can be found between 1.6 and 5 Mhz, but also between
25 and 28 MHz. The higher frequencies are used for short distance traffic,
e.g. between the sheriff's department in Dortmund to CID/LKA Dusseldorf.
Authorities of the countries and Ministries of the Interior transmit with
96 Bd and 8 repetition cycles, Border police transmits with 72 Bd and 4
repetition cycles, Civil Border Police Coast (Bad Bramstedt) activities
mostly between 1.6 to 4 MHz).
UKMACCS
------The Royal Navy's UK Maritime Coastal Communications System (UKMACCS), has
it's primary control station at the White Hall in London and has antenna
sites in Cornwall and Scotland. The calling channels are full duplex
which are monitored around the clock. The 2-tone signal, the 'Channel
Availability Tones' mark the transmitting channels. There are encrypted
RTTY 75 or 100bd transmissions on their freqs as well. The frequencies
for the RTTY transmissions are requested by voice. The navy vessels always
use 2-letter 'Golf' callsigns, like GT, GK, GR etc. The operational calls
that can be heard are called 'Opcalls' and go like this: 'Opcall Ark Royal,
Opcall Ark Royal, Opcall Ark Royal. Contact UKMACCS'

FOCUS ON CRUISE SHIPS
Apparently cruise ship operators (and their paying customers) haven't
really noticed the global economic slowdown that has affected most of the
world's economies. During these "hard times" bookings on cruise ships have
continued at a record pace -- as have orders for new ships.
During the early 1990s Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines added three new
ships (Nordic Empress, Majesty of the Seas, and Monarch of the Seas).
Between 1995 and 1998 RCCL will be launching six more ships to join it's
current fleet of nine. Princess Cruises has three ships currently being
built including the 104,000 ton "Grand Princess" which will accommodate
2,500 passengers. Compared to the Grand Princess, the Pacific Princess
(TV's Love Boat) is a pip-squeak at 20,000 tons and 640 passengers!
Fortunately for us utility monitors, many of these cruise ships can
still be heard on the HF bands despite the availability of satellite links.
Check out the following marine band channels for cruise ship activity:

KMI = Dixon (San Francisco) Radio, California (Pacific routes)

These are all "duplex" channels in that the ship transmits on the lower of
the frequency pairs and listens on the higher frequency. Having dual VFOs,
or two receivers, helps if you're interested in monitoring both sides of the
conversation.
Of course, cruise ships can be heard on the other marine channels as well
since not all radio-telephone traffic is conducted with the KMI/WOO/WOM
AT&T connection. However, since most of the traffic seems to be American
passengers calling home, these are the best bets.
I have also monitored simplex contacts between cruise ships (mostly either
chit-chat between the radio operators or phone calls between crew members lots of shipboard romances seem to be in bloom) on the following frequencies.
4149, 6221, 6230, 6233, and 8119

MORE ON THE END OF AN ERA
As reported here last month, NMN commemorated the end of the Morse code
era at 0001Z on 1 April 1995 with a special message. Here's the text of
that message as I copied it:

Once the transmission ended it was really interesting, and somewhat moving,
to hear the chorus of CW signals that popped up on frequency. Lots of
"73","THANKS","CU", and a "GOD BLESS" were sent by ships tuned in for the
final USCG transmission.

Welcome back to the third edition of WUN. This month I thought we would
get into emergency communications. The U.S. government created a net in 1961
to cover emergency communications during disasters. Its called SHARES and is
made up of 23 federal departments and agencies. As the name implies, it was
established to allow federal agencies to share/exchange important
information.
The following is a listing of frequencies I put together in a database
to load into my primary receiver. Usually, USB and LSB are used; although
some RTTY has been reported. As always, the list is compiled from a number of
sources including loggings, data from Monitoring Times, the Grove Shortwave
Directory and the Confidential Frequency List. The main frequencies are
starred (*). Check-ins by FEMA, FAA, FBI, CAP, and DOT (among others)
are frequently heard.

I should note that in some cases frequencies did not match exactly from
one source to another. It might be necessary to tune up or down some to get
the exact frequency in some cases. I have read some reports that exercises
are held on these frequencies.
The reports indicate that the exercises are held during local daylight
hours (in other words during the normal workday hours of 9-5). One schedule
I've seen for the FEMA nets indicates a rotating sequence held on Mondays and
Tuesdays. Since I'm a working stiff, I'm not usually around to hear them. If
anyone does happen to hear them, please let the rest of us know.
It would probably be a good idea to check these frequencies after a
hurricane, tornado, earthquake or other disaster. There are other nets,
government, private, and a combination of the two that would also worthwhile
following during emergency situations. I hope to get to some of those in the
future.
I'd like to remind everyone that this column needs your input to
survive. Let me know what subjects you'd like to see covered. Also, please
remember me when you come across something interesting. I can always use the
input. Until next month, have fun with your radios. Mike

---------------------Hello everyone ! In this edition of N&O we have the first update to the
'Brotherhood' edition of the Newsletter and further an interesting story
about the 'Russian Man' numbers stations that I mentioned in WUN #2. The
Pagina 106
WUN-v01
manuscript was written by Mike Chace and it looks great. Thanks Mike !
The 'Brotherhood'
---------------Thanks for the many compliments that you sent me for the Brotherhood
special. I hope that the story made you tune in to these stations. I
wonder if the Brotherhood also has a network in Australia. Has anyone
in this part of the world heard stations like this ? Does anyone know
where the stations in Europe and America's are located ? Please, tune in
as often as you can and let me know the results. It would be nice if we
could unwrap this mystery. As promised there will be updates to this
article in my columns. Here is the first update to the European frequency
list: Callsign NQX must be NXQ.

The 'pip'
--------The mystery pip on 3754.7 kHz appears to be a time signal station
in Krashnodar.
Jean Michel Jarre
----------------The music that is used by the 'Jarre' numbers station that I mentioned
in WUN #2 is 'Magnetic Fields'. The station is still there on 6645 kHz
and can be heard on Monday night at 19.00 UTC.
The Russian Man and English Man Numbers Stations
Mike Chace, Bath, UK
([email protected])
1. Introduction
Often heard, seldom mentioned is probably the maxim for this station.
This may have something to do with the fact that the station seems to
have no discernible schedule. If you want to hear it, you will need
some patience (and a bit of the usual luck) but I can be pretty confident in saying that you'll find either (or both) on the air at any
time and on any day.
Both stations are believed to be part of the same general operation from
within the CIS, sending to agents of the KGB and GRU (Naval Intelligence).
I should also add that there are a number of CW stations and the so-called
German Lady that carry the same message formats and one can only assume
that these are part of the same operation as none of the agent numbers
appear to overlap. There is also a "German Man" but I have only heard
this once -- I would welcome any further reports of this variant in case
my ears deceived me !
2. Characteristics
2.1. Message Formats
Both stations are unmistakable when you hear them. Broadcast quality
AM transmitters appear to be used. In general, the signal strengths
received are quite phenomenal at whatever frequency. Indeed, some of
the signal strengths are so high that it has been possible on many
occasions to unplug the antenna from the receiver and still hear the
station with a massive signal ! Transmitters are usually switched on
five to ten minutes before a transmission. If you hear a strong AM
carrier that you haven't noticed before, stay on the frequency. The
station often "tunes up" 5 to 10 minutes before transmission with a
steady 1kHz tone for about 30 seconds and you'll often hear some short
snatches of the voice calling the agent once or twice.
The frequencies used are always exactly on a kilohertz point. In
Pagina 107
WUN-v01
other words, if you hear a strong carrier on 13445.5kHz, it's almost
certainly not a Russian or English Man -- they would be on 13445 or
13446kHz exactly.
2.2. Voices
The stations use the same two types of synthesized voice for each
language. I call them the "thin" and the "thick" voice. The thick
voice is lower in pitch, slower in delivery and generally sounds
very labored. In contrast, the thin voice has a higher pitch,
slightly faster delivery and sounds quite feeble. Both voices speak
the same digits but, as we shall see later, are always associated
with particular formats of message.
2.3. Pronunciation
The numbers spoken by the English Man are unique and you'll know when
you've found it -- three is spoken as "thlee" and eight as "ate" (as
in the past tense). It's quite unmistakable. Both English and Russian
machines also have the same characteristic delay after any zero (or
"noll") that is spoken. Here are the numbers as they are heard phonetically:

3.4. Format 4
The Russian version of the station sends a format 2 (or 3) message where
6 ("shest") and 0 ("noll") both result in a slight delay before sending
the next digit and there is a marked pause after each ten 5F groups have
been sent. This variant appears to be associated with long messages.
3.5. Format 5 (Control Transmission)
There also appears to be a short message format, directed at agent 615
(or rarely, agent 455). In this format, there is only one 5F group sent
to the agent at a time. I have only heard the Russian Man send this format.
Because of the similarity with the Counting Stations "Control Transmissions"
I also name this short message format in the same way. It's format is as
follows:
615, 615, 615, 1st 5F Group, repeated
(for 10 minutes)
615, 615, 615, 2nd 5F Group, repeated
(for another 10 minutes)
The two groups sent are rather curious. They are both different each day,
do not appear to be used for more than a day and they both start and end
with the same digit. Here are some recent examples:

My theory is that these groups are a code to the frequencies to be used
during each day. I've attempted to find the key many times but have yet
to succeed ! At the time of writing, this transmission can be heard daily
at 08.00 UTC on 14890 kHz and on 11270 kHz at 08.20 UTC. The most bizarre
example of this control transmission was heard on Sunday, 24th July 1994.
Lasting nearly four hours in total, the Russian Man sent 615 three times,
followed 22222 or 11111 once and then a 5F group. There then followed a
10-15 minute break before a new set of groups was sent repeatedly for 10
minutes. The message on that day was as follows:

4. Message Content
Messages appear to contain random 5 figure groups although there are
Pagina 109
WUN-v01
frequent occurrences of messages which possess many double digit groups
eg 10233, 43305, 44553 and even more strangely, never have certain digits
at all! As an example, the Russian Man sent an 81 group message to agent
258 on the 25th of June 1994. Not one single 5 figure group contained
either an 8 or a 9. This is very odd and certainly indicates some nonrandom behavior (anyone with any clues please let us know).

6. The Transmission Schedule
I have to admit that after over two years of intensive monitoring of the
stations, I have yet to discern a schedule for either. Transmissions can
begin at any five minute interval but most tend to start on the hour with
a fair percentage of the rest starting at ten, twenty, forty, or fifty
minutes past the hour.
There also seems no pattern to the frequencies used. I have found the
station as low as 4400kHz and as high as 16300kHz. One particularly
fruitful area however is the range 12100kHz to 12250kHz. About 10% of
transmissions seem to occur in this portion of the spectrum but I don't
know why! Perhaps it's just a place where propagation tends to be optimum
for the distances required.
To find the Russian or English Man, I have a set of frequencies that I
sweep through every hour, on the hour, when I'm listening. With practice,
you will find that such a sweep can be done within the 5 minutes taken by
the station to send its preamble. I also find it useful to search these
frequencies at a more leisurely pace ten to fifteen minutes before the
Pagina 110
WUN-v01
hour, listening for the tell tale strong, wide AM carrier signal.
During Winter evenings (1700-0000UTC) or early mornings, Summer or Winter
(0000-0800UTC), I search:
4400-4750, 5000-5850, 6500-7000, 7500-8200, 9000-9350, 10100-11300kHz,
12100-12250kHz.
During Summer evenings (to 2200UTC) or daytime, Winter or Summer, I search:
7500-8200, 9000-9350, 10100-11300, 12100-12250kHz, 13300-13600, 14350-15000,
15800-16300kHz.
The station follows the usual practice of following the daily and annual
variations in propagation. This means that frequencies in the daytime are
higher than those in the evening and Summer frequencies are generally higher
than those in the Winter.
6.1. Repeat Transmissions
Repeats of messages (same time, same frequency) can often, but not always,
be found at weekly or daily intervals. Hourly or twenty minute interval
repeats are nearly always on a different frequency. A message is generally
repeated on a lower frequency. I have heard messages repeated up to five
times over a two day period.
6.2 Concurrent Operation
The station has at least three transmitters. Also, at any one time one,
two or three can be in operation in any combination of languages. For
example, the English (4474kHz) and Russian (5105kHz) stations were active
on the 23rd Dec at 2200hrs.
6.3 Regular Transmissions
Despite the lack of any general schedule, each station has at least one
regular, weekly transmission. The messages (most often null) are always
directed to the same agent. At the time of writing these are:
English Man

The frequencies of these regular transmissions often vary by up to +/15kHz according to interference.
The stations appear to keep UTC time i.e. when the UK moves to Daylight
Saving Time (British Summertime) the schedule remains the same.
The first of the English Man's regular transmissions has been the source
of some interesting monitoring. Agent 947 receives very little traffic practically all messages are null (947, 947, 947, 00000). In the past year
there have been just two messages for poor old 947. The first occurred on
Monday the 21st March 1994 when the message sent on this day consisted of
401 (yes! 401) 5 figure groups. The transmission lasted for nearly two
hours. The most recent message occurred on the 27th of June 1994 when 251
groups were sent -- a transmission of nearly an hour's duration.

All frequencies are Upper Side Band (USB). Discrete circuits are
available for prolonged voice traffic or secure data (e.g. AUTODIN access)
requirements. The 10780kHz channel isn't technically part of the GHFS, but
since it is listed along with GHFS assets, I included it.

Many of the aircraft heard on GHFS channels use the static, tactical
callsign "REACH" followed by numbers and/or letters. "REACH" is the static,
tactical callsign issued by the USAF Air Mobility Command for aircraft on AMC
missions. If you just hear "REACH #####" the aircraft is most likely using
its tailcode. If "REACH" is followed by letters & numbers, then the aircraft
is usually using their mission number. This is most often done for missions
requiring diplomatic clearance.

As a regular feature of this column we're initiating a "Questions and
Answers" (Q&A) forum in an attempt to provide basic information that might
be of use to members who are not familiar with some of the ins and outs of
utility QSLing. Send those questions in and we'll try to come up with an
answer.
To christen this new feature we'll start off with:
Q: I know what a QSL card is but what is this "PFC" thing you talk about?
A: Many utility monitors started off in SWLing by listening to, and perhaps
chasing QSL cards from, international shortwave broadcast stations. The
concept of QSLs amongst broadcast stations is generally well known and,
as part of these stations "good will" efforts, many of them maintain a
stock of QSL cards to send to their listeners who submit accurate reception
reports in the hope of obtaining written verification of having received
the station. This is, of course, all related to their desire to entice you
to listen to their broadcasts.
Utility stations, however, are conducting business on the air. They're
not at all interested in enticing you to listen in. Unlike SWBC stations,
their purpose is not to entertain (although we all know that some of the
best entertainment to be found on radio is in the utility bands). They do
not normally solicit reception reports and, with rare exceptions, they do
not have pre-printed QSL cards to send out to us "eavesdroppers".
The PFC (Prepared Form Card) is simply a QSL card that you prepare and
send to the utility station so that they can verify the information, sign
or stamp it, and return it to you. Failing to enclose a PFC in a report
to a ute station could result in your report being tossed in "file 13"
(the trash) simply because the station personnel was not inclined to sit
down and type up a verification letter. Since the return of a reply is
a favor, ute QSL hounds must do everything possible to make it easy for
the station to reply.
The format and items of information you include on your PFC is entirely up
to you of course. Most PFCs include the basic data of Date, Time, Mode,
Frequency, Callsign or other Station ID, and a blank space for a signature
and/or station seal/stamp.
Now let's see what the postal services of the world have been bringing to

The WUN Logs Column
Thanks to all who took time to send logs for the April issue. A great
deal of time goes into screening and checking logs for this column. But as
you can guess, it's quite a job. So if you spot a mistake, bad ID, etc,
please drop me a line and let me know. Also, I do not use logs posted on
WUN...only what is sent to me. So if you post on WUN and want to share those
logs via the newsletter, send them as a auto reply or seperate e-mail.
Please note that all frequencies are Khz and times UTC. To save space,
abbreviations are used. A list of these can be found at the end of the
column.

We start this month's column off with an article by Peter Ivakitsch, Weston,
Ontario, Canada. In the months to come, Peter and I will be bringing you a
variety of informational articles about DXing civil aircraft on HF, the
basics, the abbreviations, what frequencies to listen on, what stations
to hear, and how to QSL those all those loggings you'll add to your logbook;
with the help of these articles, of course! :-)
HF Aeronautical Communications - Part 1 Basic Introduction
This ???? part series on HF Aeronautical Communications is designed to give
new listeners a basic understanding of the procedures and usage of High
Pagina 143
WUN-v01
Frequency Radio as it relates to Aviation. As many of you know, airliners
often travel across many remote areas of the World to reach their
destinations. For this reason there must be means by which pilots can
report the progress of the flight to an Air Traffic Control Facility while in
these remote regions that often have little or no RADAR (Radio Detection and
Ranging) or VHF (Very High Frequency) radio coverage. Ground based VHF radio
transmitters are often impossible to install in these regions due to terrain
limitations such as large bodies of water. As High Frequency radio signals
have the ability to travel in some cases many thousands of miles, the system
of reporting an aircraft's position by HF radio has been implemented to
monitor the progress of a flight and keep Controllers and Pilots in contact
with one another.
Position Reports: Aircraft often fly along designated Airways that require
the pilot to report their position according to predetermined points, and are
expressed in either geographical co-ordinates, or way-points. The geographic
location of each airway determines which method of reporting is used. Airways
that are in close proximity to land masses and often remain the same
incorporate the use of five letter words known as way-points to identify the
various reporting locations. Position reports that involve relaying an
aircraft's position by way of latitude and longitude are often used on routes
that change day by day according to favorable wind patterns, and are more
commonly used by aircraft flying over large bodies of water such as the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The following information will be given during
a position report:
Aircraft callsign and flight number
-current position and time (expressed in UTC)
-current flight level
-next two positions and estimated time of arrival
-current wind direction and velocity (expressed in knots)
-current outside air temperature (expressed in Celsius)
Although it is not mandatory during each report the pilot may also include
the following:
-aircraft's selcal
-aircraft's registration
-fuel on board
-aircraft's speed ( expressed in Mach numbers)
While flying on Oceanic routes that change day by day the procedure calls for
pilots to report their position every 10 degrees longitude. As there are
often many other aircraft within a given region this format allows
controllers to coordinate changes that may have to be given to other aircraft
on adjacent or conflicting routes. The following example will give you an
idea of the format used for a position report:
Lauda 984 is position HENCH at 05:03 level 350,
we estimate position 35 north, 60 west at 05:17
next position will be 41 north, 50 west, temperature is -60,
the winds are 275/50.
The Selcal System: To reduce the need for pilots to wear their radio head
sets for extended periods of time during long duration flights, a system
known as Selective Calling or Selcal for short was devised to allow Air
Traffic Controllers to page a specific flight. Each radio is assigned a four
letter code by ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Inc.) that identifies a specific
aircraft. Each flight is required to inform ATC upon initial contact of their
selcal code, should the controller wish to speak with the pilot the
controller simply enters the selcal code on what is known as the selcal
pad and a signal is transmitted to the flight deck. An aural warning is then
sounded in the cockpit to alert the pilot that the controller wishes to speak
with them. An amber warning light will also flash to alert the pilot in the
event the aural warning wasn't heard. While it is numerically impossible to
prevent the duplication of codes given the number of aircraft worldwide,
careful consideration is taken when assigning a selcal code to new aircraft.
The selcal code will generally stay assigned to the same aircraft for the

Book review of Seldec, Ltd's new "Directory of Aircraft Selcals."
you by WUN member FW:
Brought to
A selcall is an electronic identity for a civil aircraft, which allows ATC
controllers to alert that aircraft, through four electronic tones, to the
fact that they wish to speak to the radio/op. So, on a superficial level, ute
listeners can "collect" aircraft selcalls; there are dozens to be had on
every civil aero frequency. Anyone who really works on the North Atlantic
routes can "collect" a hundred or more a day. If, that is, one has the
reference to relate the four letter codes which represent the selcall to the
aircraft to which they apply. For years, the standard work has been a UK
publication entitled High in The Sky, compiled by amateur enthusiasts
connected with The Aviation Society in Manchester. This listed the selcall
code, the aircraft using it, its carrier and its registration and serial
number. It was an engagingly amateur publication in the best British
tradition. Chat about frequencies, antenna, VHF as well as HF techniques.
Alas, a new edition, promised more than a year ago and badly needed, has so
far failed to appear, despite "real soon now" assurances from the obviously
embarrassed publisher, who said in March :" One of the editors has gone
on holiday and we can't do anything until he returns." Enter a new, more
professional publication, Directory of Aircraft Selcals (you see, we Brits
can't even agree on the spelling!) from Seldec, a company which also
manufactures an electronic selcall decoder. This is a far more professionally
finished book than High in the Sky's last edition. Better paper, ring bound,
and no eccentric rambles round the frequencies (perhaps because the publisher
is now, apparently, working on an HF aero frequency guide. All you get is a
series of selcall indexes, so you can check three ways; by selcall, carrier,
registration. It seems reasonably up to date, and the publisher is offering
monthly updates for the price of a postage stamp. It is invaluable if you
"collect" selcalls as people collect QSLs -sometimes they combine the two.
Equally so if, like me, you merely want to research the aircraft (the 707
family is my pet subject) currently being used in international service. Once
I know the serial number, I can check that aircraft's complete history from
the day it was built. Who flew it, what registration changes it had everything - through another book, Jet Airliner Production List - but that's
another review.

The
In Airline/ Aircraft news this month, Ukraine International returns to
Washington-Dulles (IAD) effective 20 May with one weekly flight, operating
Saturdays to Kiev and departing IAD at 1755 local, arrival time at Kiev
1055+1 local time. Aircraft is an IL62M. The new airline Avia has begun
service to London-Gatwick (LGW) from Johannesburg (JNB). Avia (GW) flight
101 departs JNB at 1950 local on Mondays/Wednesdays, with arrival time at LGW
0540+1. On Fridays, GW101 departs JNB at 2250 local and arrives LGW at 0840.
Aircraft type is a B747SP. British Airways is now using B747-400's on the
following Transatlantic flights:
BA116 JFK-LHR (New York JFK-London Heathrow)
BA292 MIA-LHR (Miami-London Heathrow)
Keep an ear out for British Airways' service from Nassau to London-Gatwick
(LGW). BA162 operates on Tuesdays and BA163 operates on Fridays with DC10
equipment. Kuwait Airways has placed its first Airbus A340 into service on
the New York-JFK-Frankfurt (FRA) run, Sundays only.
Well, in the interests of space, I'll close here with a correction to last
month's review of Airlines and Airports Coding and Decoding. The price listed
should have been US$25.00, and yes it does cover both military and civilian
airfields. I hope that Peter's introductory article and the first of the
MWARA frequency lists have been of help to those of you who are just starting
out in civil aero DXing, or for those of you who are contemplating doing so.
In any event, for the latest in HF civil aero DX news, stay tuned to WUN.

---------------------I am grateful to those who sent me their loggings and notes. Thank you
Michiel Schaay, Rick Baker, Stan Scalsky, Jim Kilgallen and the WUNners who
wish to remain anonymous. Your input is much appreciated.
Royal Navy / RAF mix-up
----------------------I received two questions about the location of several stations of the Royal
Navy and RAF. There seems to be some confusion about the location of the
stations. CFL and Klingenfuss both list these stations but......on different
locations. Well, let me enlighten you: CFL has the right locations listed,
this while Klingenfuss states that he is the only one who knows it all :-))))
Here is the correct list: MKL = RAF Pitraevie, MTO = RN Rosyth, MGJ = RN
Faslane. A couple of weeks ago I received a letter from the radio officer of
MKL who confirmed that both RN Glasgow and RAF Edinburgh don't even exist.
The transmitter site for MTO is also at Pitraevie Castle which is only a mile
or so from Rosyth. MKL is fed from the south of England. MTO and MKL do not
use the same transmitters for HF, although the site is the same.
In WUN#1 I told you about the availability messages as sent by MTO etc. This
system has a name and is a NATO system. The codes are the same for all NATO
partners but most countries have altered them a bit. The name of the system
is CARB (Channel Availability Reception System).
MARS digital stations
--------------------Army MARS has been using Amtor, Packet and Pactor for years now. Clover has
been in limited use since its commercial introduction by HAL a few years ago.
The Western Area Gateway AAA0USA at Fort Lewis, WA just got a Clover board
Pagina 146
WUN-v01
and should be up soon with it. They have been operating HF Packet and more
recently G-TOR...
CAP has a 7.8 MHz Clover network.
AAA9NV/AAT9TQ near Minden, NV operates a multi-mode MARS BBS with Clover,
Pactor and Amtor supported. G-TOR is also supported but on a different
frequency.
Army MARS stations in the Western Area with Clover capability include AAR9IY,
AAA9NV/AAT9TQ, AAM0HT/AAR0ET and soon AAA0USA.

---------------The Swedish military callsigns that I mentioned last month are in fact
letters. The normal alphabet is slightly different from this 'callsign
alphabet'. This is what I found so far:
A = Agnes
O = Olga
C = Cesar
P = Pia
F = Frida
Q = Quinta
H = Hanna
S = Sigurd
I = Irma
W = Wanda
J = Julie
X = Xantippa
K = Kalle
Irish military
-------------In addition to last month's list the following callsigns on the Irish
military network were heard: 21, 32, 51 and 54. 54 is definitely a navy
vessel. When I heard it the ship was in a dry dock. Callsign 376 in WUN#4 was
a mistake and should be deleted.
Michiel Schaay captured an interesting transmission from the Irish. The text
is a bit garbled due to interference.

-----------They probably use (de)cipher machines that work on various levels and are
protected by a password for each level. The captain seems to have level 7.
More on the Irish navy next month.
Odd Sitor-B Signal Monitored
---------------------------Stan Scalsky ([email protected]) sent me the following article about
uncommon and unidentified Sitor-B stations. Any info about these stations is
appreciated.
Sitor-B is a very common FEC signal used in the Maritime services for
transmission of news and weather bulletins to ships at sea. Sitor-B is also
used by the amateur community. Baud rate is usually 100 but an odd baud rate
of 109.3 has been monitored infrequently in the States. This type of signal
was measured and identified by Code 3. If it was not for Code 3's
Auto-Classification module I would not have thought to try Sitor-B! The
Universal M-7000 decoder is unable to sync on this type of signal due to the
Sitor-B baud rate being locked at 100 baud. Messages monitored consist of
5LGs ending with NNNN, with no other identifying marks and are usually short
in duration, a few minutes at most. To my knowledge none of the monitors I
know who have monitored this type of signal has been able to catch it from
Pagina 147
WUN-v01
the beginning so any possible callsigns or other identifying sequences is
unknown at this time. No one has noticed any regular repeat use of
frequencies already monitored. Speculation suggests a possible Caribbean or
Central American location. Signal strength is nice and strong in the States.
Who is sending these signals? Any European monitors ever encounter a signal
of this type with any consistency? Why the odd baud rate?
This type of signal has been monitored on the following frequencies:
6781.7*
12210.7***
* last monitored 04/04/95
7666.4
16332.0
** last monitored 03/20/95
7678.5****
18838.5
*** last monitored 06/19/94
8243.5**
18841.5
**** last monitored 05/04/95
9228.4
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has received this type of
signal. Many thanks to the following for sharing their loggings:

Portuguese police <source: Jim Kilgallen>
----------------------------------------The Portuguese police are using HF for Sitor-B and voice transmissions.
Multiple stations use the same callsign, router and selcal. They are always
clumped together regionally (ie according to subordination). Daytime
frequency: 5049.2 (f11) and at night: 3282.2 (f2) Mode: initial call-up and
chatter is in sitor-a and usb voice. Traffic: always passed via Sitor-B or
Fax. Schedule: both freqs run 12-14 hours at a time, running traffic
intermittently.
Terms: PSP - Portuguese national police
Comger - general command
CP - command post
CM - military command
Cd - command
Esq - squad/squadron
Sec - section
Div - division
Ce - center
Note: subordination is indicated through the use of a number appended to the
station location/name and a one-up numbering scheme in order of decreasing
seniority (ie 4301, 4302...). Now, here are the callsigns:

MORE ON THE END OF AN ERA
At 0001 UTC on 1 April 1995 the U.S. Coast Guard ended their CW watch.
During the last few minutes of 31 March, while awaiting the final message
from NMN, I decided to scan the CW calling frequencies to see if I might be
able to catch a few final CW QSOs between ships and the operators at NMN.
Fortunately I was able to log two such contacts: the SS Kitanning/KGPK and,
surprisingly, the US Coast Guard Cutter Legare/NRPM. Logging the Legare was
indeed a treat as I'd never before heard a CW transmission from a USCG
cutter.
As a follow-up I decided to try for confirmations of both of these QSOs
during the final minutes of the USCG CW era. Both of them responded and
the friendly folks on both of those vessels sent along nice replies and
items of memorabilia to commemorate those historic QSOs. I thought I would
take this opportunity to share part of the content of the letter I received
from Chief Petty Officer Daniel S. Nesemeier, the Telecommunications
Specialist in Charge on board the USCGC Legare. CPO Nesemeier writes:
"31 March 1995 truly marked the end of an era in Coast Guard communications.
Although those in the Coast Guard who are fond of standing CW watches will
miss them, newer, more efficient technologies have allowed for quick,
reliable distress information through the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS), a series of satellites worldwide which relay distress
information to command centers for immediate response.
"I was stationed at Coast Guard Radio Station San Juan, PR - callsign NMR during 1980 and '81 and from 1983 through '86. RADSTA San Juan's sole purpose
was to monitor CW circuits on 500 kHz and the 8, 12, and 16 MHz bands. Most
of our message traffic consisted of receiving weather observations and
merchant vessel position reports and sailing plans. We did, however, receive
an occasional distress or medical emergency. During those years the receipt
of an actual SOS by the RADSTA was rare. When they were received, our four
man watch section scurried to the 500 kHz position to copy them, carefully
compared their copy and relayed the SOS to our command center at Governor's
Island, NY. I once worked a case on 500 kHz in which a coastal freighter
caught fire 30 miles south of Ponce, PR. After relaying the freighter's
position the crew of the freighter was saved.
Pagina 149
WUN-v01
"There were many other distress cases handled by NMR which ended with the
successful recovery of all crew members, but tragically, there were many
others which ended with loss of life. The most memorable case I worked was
one with the M/V Mezada, an Israeli bulk carrier with the callsign 4XXE. The
Mezada called me on an 8 MHz frequency and stated that she was taking on
water approximately 100 miles east of Bermuda. She was fully loaded with
potash and was steering west toward Bermuda at 2 knots. I filled out all the
information I could on my distress check off sheet and we relayed the
information to New York. During the relay I kept the radio operator
chatting. Although I could only imagine what the operator was going through,
his fist remained calm despite the worsening list on his ship. We were able
to copy each other cleanly at about 20 words per minute. We shortly got word
that the Mezada was out of the Coast Guard's operating area, and that the
case was being transferred to the Bermudians, along with the U.S. Naval Air
Station in Bermuda. I was directed to tell the Mezada to attempt
communications with Bermuda Radio on 2182 kHz voice, which I did. I
desperately wanted to maintain communications with Mezada but also realized
that there was nothing I could do other than that which I was directed.
After our transfer to Bermuda Radio was complete I wished the radio operator
at 4XXE good luck. 4XXE sent her salutation and wished me well. Hours later
the Mezada was overcome by the sea. Her radio operator perished with several
crew members in a valiant effort to keep Mezada afloat. Mezada's survivors
were rescued by the Navy. The radio officer was survived by his wife, who was
also on board Mezada during the tragedy. I think about this case often, and
I still marvel at that radio operator's courage. Although he lost his life,
his call for help saved some of his shipmates, including the one dearest to
him. It was a sacrifice I'm sure we would both have made if we were in his
position.
"Enclosed is a newspaper article which was published in the Virginia PilotLedger Star concerning the end of Morse Code watches at CAMSLANT. TC1 Jerry
Burleson (pictured in the article) was a classmate of mind in Radioman "A"
School in 1979-80. Shortly before getting underway he visited me and asked
if I would send the last message sent using Morse code by a Coast Guard ship
to him on 12 MHz. I was honored by his request and sent him the weather
observation message you also received. I am enclosing a copy of the message
for your collection. Jerry and I had a lot of fun with that message.
Coast Guard ships do not normally use Morse code and, in fact, CW is no
longer taught at "A" school. Since yours in the first QSL card I have
received concerning the Coast Guard's final hour of Morse watches, I will
limit the number of copies of the message I have made to one. You have the
only copy, and I'll hold onto the original and make no other copies."
My sincere thanks to CPO Nesemeier for his thoughtful and eloquent reply to
my reception report. I'm proud to add the copy of that final message to
my memorabilia.
While the USCG has ended their CW operations the CW bands still provide an
excellent opportunity for utility monitors to log a number of vessels that
are rarely, if ever, heard on other modes. During the next several years we
will witness the closing of many coastal stations' CW operating positions.
By 1 February 1999, when GMDSS is mandatory for all oceangoing ships, all CW
services for Maritime Mobile stations will be ending. As that time
approaches I am spending much of my monitoring time on the CW bands, snagging
as many of these stations as I can while they are still operational. In next
month's "Nautical News" we will be covering CW monitoring techniques in
detail.
CRUISE SHIP UPDATE
Thanks to Art Blair (California) for sending along a thick collection of
news clippings concerning the maritime industry. Here are a few of the items
relating to cruise ships that might be of interest to ute monitors.
Kloster Cruise Ltd recently agreed to sell the Starward, the last of their
"White Ships", to Festival Cruises of Greece. The Starward will join The Azur
in Mediterranean cruises. The Starward was one of the first new purposebuilt cruise liners, and made her maiden cruise from Miami on Dec 21, 1968.
Seabourn Cruises has announced that they will pull out of the Caribbean and
head for the South Pacific in August of next year. The Seabourn Pride will
Pagina 150
WUN-v01
deploy to the South Pacific after an extensive Alaska summer program.
Silversea Cruises will also be serving the South Pacific when the Silver
Cloud heads for Singapore in December.
Sunshine Cruises of Greece will operate the recently rebuilt Sea Prince on
cruises between Piraeus and Istanbul. The Sea Prince was initially
christened in 1965 as the Princess Italia, operating on the U.S. Pacific
Coast as part of the original Princess Cruises fleet. Several years later
she was sold to Ocean Cruise Line of Florida and became the Ocean Princess.
Two years ago the ship was declared a constructive total loss after grounding
near the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil. Since then, she has been
completely rebuilt for Mediterranean cruising. Sunshine Cruises has also
purchased Costa Cruises' Danae, which it will operate as the Baltica.
Sunshine Cruises will used Aegean Travel Visions Tour and Cruise Center to
represent them in the United States.
Carnival Cruise Lines' Tropicale has been plying the waters between Tampa
and New Orleans with tremendous success. Since Tropicale is registered in
Panama, and is not permitted to carry passengers between US ports, passengers
must board and disembark at the same port. Reports indicate that Tropicale
may soon be replaced on this route by the Celebration.
MARU
Maritime monitors generally cannot fill up a log sheet without logging a
Japanese ship with the word "Maru" in the name. For those who might have
wondered about the use of this word, the following explanation (lifted from
the SHIPS mailing list on the Internet) is provided, with thanks to the
author:
"Maru has many meanings in Japan. It does mean circle or ring when used
as a noun, round or complete or something perfect when used as an
adjective, and as a suffix for the name of a boy--and when applied in the
latter case it also implies an affectionate meaning, as it did when used
as a suffix to the name given to good sword blades. During Japan's feudal
period it was applied to castles and the Emperor's main castle in Tokyo is
known as gohommaru. Minor castles are called hon-maru and the Japanese flag,
a red ball on a white background which represents the sun, is called hino
maru (The Round of the Sun).
"In regards to ships, it is held that because circles are complete so is a
ship complete in its equipment, its independence, and its self-maintenance.
(Ah, that this were always true.) Maru was at one time used only in the
names of commercial vessels, never in the names of warships. The suffix Kan
took the place of maru. Things have changed in Japan indeed.
This is probably more than anyone wants to know about this topic but get
a retired Asianist going and you can't shut him up.

As I mentioned last month, I will be talking about disaster nets in
general and hurricane nets specifically. Listening to these nets is a very
good way to find out what is happening locally after a major storm or
earthquake. For example, after the last San Francisco quake in the late 80's,
hams were active on 14.275 with health and welfare traffic as well as
information about local conditions. The net coordinator then spun off traffic
to secondary frequencies to save 14.275 for use as a call-in channel. The
information eventually made its way to the media, but it was here first, in
detail and without filtering.
This list of frequencies is one I've compiled for my own use. If the
mode is not shown, then assume its USB. It includes as many local nets as I
could dig up as well as frequencies for weather forecasts and frequencies
likely to be used by different agencies likely to be affected by a storm or
other natural disaster. Some of the frequencies I know are out of date, but
Pagina 151

I have found that the government will reactivate a frequency that supposedly
was no longer in use.

I'm sure that there are probably other nets and frequencies being
used. For example, FEMA frequencies would be active in the wake of natural
disasters. If anyone has any frequencies to add to the list, please let me
know. I would definitely welcome the information.
As it stands right now, I'm running out of things to write about.
If anyone has any ideas for topics to cover, or better yet information they
think would be of interest to other WUNners please send it to me.

---------------------Hi, not much to report this month. Don't hesitate to send me your Numbers
and Oddities stuff. I will not mention your name when you don't want to be
credited, so it is safe to send me your secrets :-)
Brotherhood update
-----------------One new link has been noted in April:
Callsign: RVV, Link-id: 20087, UTC: 14.20, Freq: 13.418 kHz.
The transmissions to VKX on 14605 kHz are now scheduled for 16.10 UTC.

hours and on 18/5: VLB18P14L36R52 for hours.
Nancy Adam Susan
---------------The numbers station that uses the 1940's ARRL alphabet has been noted with an
increased number of transmissions lately. Id's include 'Susan Adam Robert',
'Nancy Adam Susan', 'Mary Susan Adam' and 'Frank Young Susan'. It is a bit
curious that every callsign includes the letter 'S -Susan-'
Frequencies: 4130, 5530, 5835, 11000, 14000 kHz. Times: all day on the
hour, sometimes also on the half hour.
Navy Kaliningrad
---------------Channelmarker 'P' has been noted on a new frequency: 4031 kHz
VDE still going strong
---------------------I heard this station back in '82 for the first time and it was reported by
other dxers way before that time. I still haven't a clue about the identity
of this station. This message was logged by Leif Dehio on 20-4-1995 at 09.45
UTC on 6813 kHz using CW.

MI6, the Lincolnshire Poacher
----------------------------The British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), better known as MI6
(originally Military Intelligence, dept.6), is reportedly responsible for the
transmissions of the 'Lincolnshire Poacher' numbers station. The station can
easily be identified because of its interval signal. Transmissions start at
the hour on three parallel frequencies with a part of the medieval English
folk song 'Lincolnshire Poacher'. This is repeated twelve times followed by
a five digit identifier number. The actual message begins after a couple of
chimes and consists of 5-figure groups. At the end of the transmission there
are again a couple of chimes and the interval signal is played six times.
The id-numbers are not unique, I have seen the same numbers being used during
the past months. I haven't found a pattern yet. Maybe they are in fact agents
numbers instead of message identifiers. The transmitter site is believed to
be on the RAF base in Cyprus. The transmissions are always heavily jammed. On
12-5 I monitored the station during the afternoon and evening. This is the
result:
1500 UTC, 11545 // 13375 // 12603 kHz, id 76728
1700 UTC, 11545 // 13375 // 12603 kHz, id 59922
1800 UTC, 6485 kHz, id 00283
1900 UTC, 6959 kHz, id 79891
2000 UTC, 6959 kHz, id 49589
2100 UTC, 6959 kHz, id 26225
The following sked has
1000 - 1400 UTC, 15682
1500 - 1700 UTC, 11545
1800 - 2200 UTC, 6485,
Note: there are always
been noted: transmissions on the hour, times:
// 14487 // 16084 kHz
// 13375 // 12603 kHz
6959, 7337, 9251, 10426 11545, 12603, 15610 kHz

-------------Although it is in the shops for about a year, I found it only a couple of
weeks ago, the 'Guinness Book of Espionage' by Mark Lloyd. It is an
informative book and a pleasant one to read. It contains items about spies
and their methods, communication, equipment, incidents, several intelligence
agencies like KGB, CIA, MI5, MI6 and Mossad. In 256 pages the writer leads

you through the fascinating world of espionage. I think that many of the
numbers monitors will like this book. The price is GBP 14,99 in England.
ISBN 0-85112-591-3.
Right, that's it for now. Don't forget to write ! See ya next month.
============================================================================
Welcome to another edition of the WUN military column.
into our information for this month.
Let's get right
QATAR EMIRI NAVY:
* Vosper Thornycroft, U.K., launched the first of a new series of fast strike
craft for the Qatar Emiri Navy at its Southampton, U.K., shipyard on April
1. The 187.7-ft vessel was named QENS BARZAN. The BARZAN is the first of
four strike craft being built for the Qatar Emiri Navy.
U.S. AIR FORCE:
WUN member Bob Lewallyn in Texas shares the following information with us:
* I have positively identified the "RAZOR ##" callsigns as the two EC-135K
aircraft attached to the 552nd ACW at Tinker AFB. I and several other utes
have heard a lot of RAZOR ## traffic in the recent past on GHFS and even
some Mystic Star channels. For a while in December 1994 (and perhaps
November), RAZOR 03 was assigned as an alert VIP transport aircraft for
Southern Command, at times IDing alternately as RAZOR 03 and SPAR 84.
Although both aircraft once performed the HEAD DANCER tactical deployment
shepherding mission from Langley AFB, both are now at Tinker and apparently
serve as VIP transports, deployment support aircraft, or even comms relay
platforms (one was involved in a GREEN FLAG exercise at Nellis recently),
as needed. I wasn't entirely sure that some of the RAZOR ## aircraft were
not E-3 AWACS, until I and one other listener recently caught these calls
give their type as 'EC-135' during PIREPS.
* MacDill AFB has been using 11217 kHz USB quite a bit recently as a discrete
and overflow channel when 11175 kHz gets congested.
U.S. ARMY:
* The May 95 issue of Armed Forces Journal magazine describes two battlefield
communications vehicles now being developed by the U.S. Army. Both
platforms are variants of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The Electronic
Fighting Vehicle System (EFVS) is designed to "intercept and jam both
single-channel and low probability-of-intercept signals and, when netted
with Advanced Quickfix (an EH-60 helicopter-borne system), provide
targeting information to battlefield commanders. It uses a horizontally
stowed 20-meter elevating mast as an antenna. The Command and Control
Vehicle (C2V) will offer commanders - probably at brigade level or above a highly mobile command vehicle that will be integrated into the Army's
'digitalized battlefield.' The C2V uses a vertically nested 10-meter mast."
Sounds like a couple of great DXpedition vehicles!
* Armed Forces Day operations from a Corps of Engineers vessel in the
Mississippi River on May 20 were a huge success. Original plans were to
operate from the Corps' flagship, the M/V Mississippi/AEUI. However, last
minute operational commitments made that vessel unavailable. Instead, the
operation took place from the three-year-old, 299-foot-long state of the
art dustpan Dredge Hurley/AEDT. In spite of some rather dismal frequency
assignments (all three were in either international or tropical short wave
bands), nearly 300 cross-band contacts were made with hams in 35 states and
2 Canadian provinces. If you heard AEDT during the tests, send a reception
report to P.O. Box 3888, Memphis, TN 38173, or via e-mail to [email protected],
and a nice certificate will be in the mail to you in a few weeks. No return
postage is necessary for this one folks, since yours truly will be handling
the QSL duties.
* Turbo-prop aircraft ARMY 23373 and 23374, C-12 transports, continue to fly
a shuttle between Orlando, FL and Port-au-Prince, often via Provodenciales
Prothe Bahamas. They are commonly heard on 11175 kHz USB patching DSN
791-5585 Staff Duty Office at Orlando to report ETAs and arrange for an
authorized driver to pick-up "classified documents." Bob Lewallyn asks,
"Can anyone advise what unit/command operates these aircraft? The same
Pagina 154
WUN-v01
aircraft were using the ALOMA ## callsign on GHFS and working ORLANDO BASE
direct on 8056 kHz around the time of the Haiti intervention in September
1994."
U.S. COAST GUARD:
* There has been some confusion in recent months concerning the correct callsign assigned to Group Grand Haven, MI. Official and other records
(including the book Coast Guard Radio, authored by yours truly) showed the
callsign NMD43 allocated to this unit. Correspondence last winter from
Grand Haven, however, indicated the callsign was NMD32. A letter received
just a couple of days ago now clarifies the whole question. TC1 Antonio R.
Soliz, in charge of the radio gang at Grand Haven said, "This unit's call
sign is NMD43. In 1989, the Coast Guard Group in Muskegon, MI, moved south
to Grand Haven. This location transition brought with it a new call sign
for a new Coast Guard shore station. However, the call sign change
performed in 1989 by our headquarters office never filtered down to the
communications staff at Grand Haven." So there you have it.
* The 27-year-old medium endurance cutter Dauntless (WMEC-624)/NDTS was
recommissioned in February following Major Maintenance Availability at the
Coast Guard's Yard at Curtis Bay, MD.
U.S. MARINE CORPS:
Also from Bob Lewallyn comes:
* This may be old news to some, but I have confirmed BEAR ## as the static
call sign of the Marine Corps KC-130F/T Hercules now based at NAS Fort
Worth Joint Reserve Base (formerly Carswell ARB, formerly Carswell AFB).
My understanding is that VMGR-234 stood down at NAS Glenview last year and
moved all of its assets to Fort Worth; I am awaiting confirmation that the
unit designation remains the same.
U.S. NAVY:
* The USS COLE (DDG-67), eighth vessel of the DDG-51 class Aegis guided
missile destroyer, was launched in Pascagoula, MS, on Feb. 10. The
505-ft-long ship will join the U.S. Pacific Fleet in San Diego when it is
commissioned in 1996.
* The R/V ROGER REVELLE (AGOR-24) was christened for the U.S. Navy at Halter
Marine's Shipyard in Mississippi. The 274-foot-long oceanographic vessel
will be operated for the navy by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
and will be homeported in San Diego.
* The lead vessel of the USS SEAWOLF (SSN-21)-class nuclear powered attack
submarine was rolled-out at General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division in
Groton, CT., on March 20. She will be launched in June.
U.S. ARMED FORCES:
As of the end of April, here is a list of military operations the United
States is participating in:
* ABLE SENTRY - U.S. participation in U.N. Protection Force in
Macedonia.
* DENY FLIGHT - NATO no-fly zone enforcement, close air support, and air
strikes over Bosnia.
* PROVIDE COMFORT - U.S. and allied no-fly zone enforcement over
norther Iraq and Kurdish relief operations.
* PROVIDE HOPE - U.S. medical supplies and equipment to Russia.
* PROVIDE PROMISE - U.S. and allied airlift into Sarajevo and airdrops
over Bosnia.
* SAFE HAVEN - U.S. humanitarian operations for Cuban refugees in
Panama.
* SHARP GUARD - U.S. and allied enforcement of U.N. sanctions against
Serbia and Montenegro in the Adriatic.
* SOUTHERN WATCH - U.S. and coalition no-fly zone enforcement over
southern Iraq.
* U.N. MISSION TO HAITI - U.N. peacekeeping operation in Haiti.
Recently complete operations include:
* SAFE PASSAGE - U.S. transfer of Cuban migrants from Panama to
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, finished Feb. 20.
* UNITED SHIELD - U.S. support for the withdrawal of U.N. forces from
Somalia, ended March 3.
* UPHOLD DEMOCRACY - U.S.-led multinational operation in Haiti ended
Pagina 155

March 31, with the transfer of operational command to the U.N. Mission
in Haiti.

Rising flood waters on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and tributaries are
keeping me busy here at work. The Corps of Engineers has plenty of people
out in the field monitoring levees and other flood control works around the
clock, and offering technical and material assistance to local authorities.
Although I'm not aware of any Corps of Engineers HF communications related
to these activities, it might be a good idea to listen in the 7930-32 kHz USB
range for any disaster communications.
Thanks for reading, good listening and see you next month.

Software Review: PC-WEATHERSPOT developed by Douglas John Standen
[email protected]
I was very pleased to work with John and help with the testing of this
program. This program is designed for the professional and amateur
meteorologist to extract the maximum amount of data from the RTTY METEO
transmissions which are common throughout Europe. The decoded data is
overlaid to a range of European maps, though Canada and the USA is included.
The program displays AAXX (Land Stations), BBXX (Marine stations) TTAA, TTBB,
TTDD radiosonde reports from the surface to the stratosphere for the
construction of Tephigrams and atmospheric analysis. SFLOC (location of
European electrical storms). CLIMAT (monthly climatology reports). TAF (UK
aerodrome forecasts). AIREP (North Atlantic aircraft reports). ZZYY (drifting
North Atlantic Buoys). 3D rainfall graphing, Satellite image/ fax map
display. ASXX & FSXX Synoptic chart construction and weather system
prognosis, both actual and forecast.
I used the program extensively with data received from Europe, and to a
far lesser degree from CF Halifax. I was able to decode and display the data
and also the ships position for ships transmitting BBXX weather data. The
amount of options in this program is extensive. Operation was simple and
fairly straight forward after a brief read of the "DOC's".
Cost is UK POUNDS 85, US$128.00, and may be ordered direct from John at:
or the e-mail address above for more info.
While working with John to test the Weatherspot software, I told him
that I would love to see a program able to track just ships as they sent
their positions several times a day or via BBXX weather observations. Viola!
Our second software review for the month:
SHIPS
Also by Douglas John Standen, this program designed for those with an
interest in the tracking of ships. It allows manual input of a ships
position, with storage to log file. Identification of the ship from a 30,000
ship database is possible. Tracks ships with each new position added. Also
decodes ship transmissions from METEO stations and displays position and
report, overlaid data covers most Met parameters. Range of maps to cover
whole globe with larger scale maps for the USA, Canadian and Alaskan
coastline. During testing, I used it or tracking SAR operations at sea (but
he also included the Great Lakes for you VHF 'Laker' fans) including Coast
Guard aircraft flying out to these SAR's. Provides an instant location
worldwide by latitude and longitude.
For U.S. orders only, send $24.95 to myself at: PO Box 4222, Youngstown,
Ohio 44515. Checks should be made out to me and I'll forward all monies to
John in the UK under one order. No, I'm not getting rich here! Those in

Europe and elsewhere in the world can order direct from John for UK
Pounds. A demo version is also available. -DE RD

Last time we began our descent into the depths of radio's basement band by
taking a look at FCC allocations for US stations. The picture would not be
complete if we did not list the international allocations, which are slightly
different than the FCC's.
Freqs (in kHz)| International allocation
--------------|---------------------------------------------------------< 9 = Not allocated
9 - 14 = Radionavigation
14 - 19.95 = Fixed, maritime mobile
19.95 - 20.05 = Standard frequency and time stations
20.05 - 70 = Fixed, maritime mobile
70 - 90 = Fixed, Maritime mobile, Radiolocation, Radionavigation
90 - 110 = Fixed, Maritime mobile, Radionavigation
110 - 130 = Fixed, Maritime mobile, Radionavigation, Radiolocation
130 - 148.5 = Fixed, Maritime mobile, Radionavigation
148.5 - 160 = Broadcasting, Fixed, Maritime mobile, Radionavigation
160 - 190 = Aeronautical radionavigation, Broadcasting, Fixed
190 - 200 = Aeronautical radionavigation, Broadcasting
200 - 283.5 = Aeronautical radionavigation and mobile, Broadcasting
283.5 - 285 = Aeronautical radionavigation and mobile, maritime
radionavigation
285 - 325 = Aeronautical and maritime radionavigation
325 - 405 = Aeronautical mobile and radionavigation, maritime
radionavigation
405 - 415 = Radionavigation
415 - 495 = Aeronautical radionavigation, Maritime mobile
495 - 505 = Mobile distress and calling
These allocations give an idea of what might be found in those ranges, but
not in enough detail for the hobbyist who wants to venture into the world of
longwaves. Let's take a look in some detail at the actual usage of those
frequencies and what the hobbyist might do there.
1.2 kHz: Caving radio. Talk about the basement of radio! Speleologists (cave
explorers) use beacons in these frequencies for tracking purposes. CW comms
are also supported. Other frequencies, below 200 kHz, are used also.
3 - 20 kHz: Natural radio. Radio waves, generated by natural phenomena can be
found in all bands. Who hasn't heard a coming thunderstorm by way of static
crashes on the AM broadcast radio? What makes this band special, however, is
the types of "signals" one can hear: swishes, clicks, hissing, whistlers.
Some hobbyists spend time down here, studying the sounds they hear. Theories
as to what generates these sounds have been developed based on such studies.
The research into such exciting radio phenomena still continues.
10 - 14 kHz: OMEGA. This is a worldwide radionavigation system based on 8
transmitters. Positions can be determined by measuring phase differences in
signals arriving from different transmitters. The accuracy this system
affords is limited, compared to other systems, especially GPS.
20 kHz (and also 60 kHz in the US) has been set aside for standard time and
frequency stations. The most famous is WWVB, in Boulder, Colorado, USA, one
of the time stations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST). Other time stations exist, however, and in frequencies other than 20
kHz.
Pagina 157
WUN-v01
90 - 110 kHz contains LORAN (LOng Range Aid to Navigation), a radionavigation
system for marine and aeronautical use. It depends on a series of powerful
transmitters tuned to 100 kHz and transmitting special signals. Unlike nondirectional beacons (see below), with LORAN positions are determined by
measuring arrival time differences between multiple transmitters.
148.5 - 283.5 kHz is a band where non-US broadcasters can be found. They
usually broadcast domestic programming in AM. Some of them use very powerful
transmitters and have been DXed by monitors all over the world. (OK, so this
isn't exactly utility radio, but it makes for some interesting catches when
one is looking for beacons. :-)
160 - 190 kHz: The LOWFER band. This band has been set aside by the FCC for
low power, unlicensed operation. Hobbyists can use homebrewed transmitters
and use them for two-way communication (mostly CW of course), and more often
as beacons. We hope to devote some time to LOWFing in the future.
160 - 190 kHz, also: The US Ground Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) can be found
here. This is a network designed to provide communications in the event of a
nuclear attack, taking advantage of the relative low effects of such events
on longwave propagation. Encrypted RTTY seems to be the mode here.
190 - 435 kHz: Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs). As the name suggests, these
are transmitters radiating a unique signal in all directions for the purpose
of direction finding. What's unique about their signal is that they send
their ID continuously, most 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That of course is
a monitor's dream-come-true, as no other radio medium sends its ID with quite
that level of eagerness. But for the navigator, looking to find his/her
position or way, this might represent a great blessing. All the navigator
needs to do is tune to a couple of such beacons (of known ID and location),
find the signal bearing and from that calculate their vessel's position.
For the longwave hobbyist, beacons are a blessing too. They are there,
continuously transmitting their ID day and night, just waiting to be DXed.
Beacon hunters spend hours looking for new beacons to add to their log, and
checking up on the familiar ones. This column will spend considerable time on
these beacons. I hope to hear from you beacon hunters out there.
415 - 505 kHz: Maritime mobile radio. Here, utility monitors can find
maritime CW traffic. 500 kHz is the distress calling frequency. Not too long
ago, US authorities announced that 500 kHz will no longer be monitored,
however. The band has been experiencing considerable loss of traffic, as more
vessels become equipped for satellite communications.
Military uses have also been found for longwave radio, at various
frequencies, especially in communicating with submarines.
Well, that's all for now. I'd be very interested in hearing from readers out
there who can provide more info for some of these specialized areas of
longwave radio (and others not listed above). You can write to me at:
[email protected]
We now run the summer schedule, appearing bimonthly, so I will see you in the
July issue. In the meantime...
73 es gud DX, de George, N2OWO.

==== TIPS & TIDBITS ====
I was very pleasantly surprised to receive QSLs from two Cuban Aeradio
stations recently (Boyeros and Santiago de Cuba). The veri-signer (Eng.
Orlando Nevot) was kind enough to provide the following mailing address for
all Cuban aeradio stations:
Direc. Aeronavegacion, IACC
Apartado 6215
Plaza de la Revolucion
Habana, Cuba
Reinhard Klein-Arendt (Germany) provides the following tip: "Here is a short
note on how to QSL unknown German Navy units afloat (supplied by Thomas
Ingenpass, not a WUN member): To identify unknown navy calls you may write to
Oberleutnant z.S. Gorath. He is at DHJ59, Marinefernmeldegruppe 21/DHJ59,
Jeversche Landstrasse 5, D-26388 Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Supply info on
call(s) heard, frequency, date, time (UTC). Normally Mr. Gorath will then
mail your report to the unit in question. Please enclose a SASE or SAE/IRCs
with your letter." Vielen Dank to both Reinhard and Herr Ingenpass!
A letter accompanying my QSL from RAF Pitreavie Castle (MKL) advises that the
majority of correspondence that they receive from radio hobbyists is
incorrectly addressed to Tynemouth, Northumberland. The Supervising
Radio Officer there has asked "If at all possible, perhaps you would be
so kind as to inform both your Radio Amateur and shortwave listener
Pagina 160
WUN-v01
colleagues of our correct location..." Here's the correct address:
HF SAR Comms, RCC Edinburgh
RAF Pitreavie Castle
Dunfermline
Fife KY11 5QF
Scotland, U.K.
To finish up this months column, here's an assortment of QSL addresses
that you may find of interest. 'Til next month, 73 & PSE QSL!

The WUN Logs Column
The WUN Logs Column
A new WUN record of 38 contributors this issue, which includes for the
first time posts directly off the WUN listserver. I still appreciate greatly
the logs being sent directly to me in a format as close as possible to the
one used here. I'll try to maintain using the posted logs, but some of the
longer lists take awhile to reformat to WUN specs.
But, I'll take them anyway I can get them! Won't you take some time
to jot down what your hearing for next month?

Mike Wolfson, Membership Director
[email protected]
I've decided to answer RD's request for a "Membership Director" since
it seemed like "Government & Other SSB News" wasn't generating a lot of
interest that I would take over this job. I plan on preparing a form letter
for distribution over the next couple of months to the membership requesting
some basic information. It will ask for your name, areas of interest, your
location etc. If you choose not to answer, please let me know so that I
Pagina 193
WUN-v01
won't bug you with multiple requests. The idea is to build a database so
that specialized questions/requests for info can be targeted to specific
people.
There are no plans to share this info with anyone else or post it
anywhere.
As of the beginning of June, we had 416 members on-line and via paper
mailing. There are dozens of sites that the monthly newsletter is sent to
electronically. For folks at those sites wishing to become members, simply
send your name, address, city, country and your interests and equipment to
me as e-mail. Tim Braun takes care of those getting the paper version.
Remember, there are no dues.
As yet, I don't have an easy way to sort the names by point of origin
for duplications, so I can't say for certain how many different countries
are represented or how many people are subscribing to both. The last number
I heard was about 22-23 countries were represented. Mike

History was made on June 7 1995 when United Airlines introduced the new
Boeing 777 on regular scheduled service. The B-777 is the first twin engine
airliner to receive ETOP (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations)
certification prior to delivery. This allows the aircraft to be flown over
large bodies of water where a diversion airport may be up to 3 hours away,
and safely return using only one engine. In the past twin engine aircraft
such as the B-757 and B-767 had to prove their reliability in revenue
service before they received an ETOP's certificate. United Airlines
presently have 3 B-777's in service, they are as follows: N766UA Selcal AQBH; N771UA Selcal AQ-CH; N777UA Selcal AQ-BG. The present schedule for these
aircraft is as follows: United Flt 918 Washington-London, United Flt 921
London-Washington, United Flt 940 Chicago-Frankfurt, United Flt 941
Frankfurt-Chicago. Starting July 2 Chicago-Paris-Chicago. Starting July 18
Newark-London-Newark. Happy Listening and 73's Peter Ivakitsch
In a WUN International Civil Aero exclusive, we have obtained the planned
Boeing 777 test flight schedule for British Airways who will take delivery
of their first 777 in October.
This is the planned operating schedule of the British Airways 777 test
program to commence August, 1995. 777 will operate as close to schedule as
possible to simulate actual service route of aircraft.

---------------------Hello again. No space for chats this month but lots of info thanks to Peter,
Jim Kilgallen and a few anonymous guys.
For those who didn't know: the Digital Modes FAQ is available on the WUN
server for a couple of weeks now, so if you are interested request it like
this: send a message to: [email protected] and put the following
in the body: get wun digifaq1
Utility selcal database
----------------------Jim Kilgallen volunteered to create and maintain a database with selcals of
diplo stations, UN, msf, Lebanese gendarmes, etc., etc. (no ship and
aircraft selcals). This database will be available for all WUN members and
we hope that all members will support this idea by sending Jim lots of
selcals and help him to figure out the unids so that all members can take
advantage of this collection. When all 250+ members cooperate, we can build
a really huge selcal database. Please, send your input to Jim Kilgallen at:
[email protected]
Portuguese police
----------------Monitoring those guys is really interesting. There are stolen vehicle
reports and reports about smuggling interdictions, weapons confiscations and
Interpol wanted person list relays. The latter is most interesting now
Interpol moved to satellite. See for frequencies and callsigns WUN#5.
Irish military
-------------A couple WUNners sent me a list of the callsigns that they heard on the
Irish channels. It is difficult to determine who's selcal actually is
transmitted because sometimes several stations respond to the same selcal.
There is a possibility that the Irish coast stations also participate in
this circuit. Therefore I also listed the coast stations who's selcal have
been used. Several stations use more than one selcal or callsign. The PT (=
point or port ??) stations could be observation points on the Irish coast or
port facilities, while the same callsigns without 'PT' are the vessels that
Pagina 197
WUN-v01
are located there. Just a guess.....Also listed are several internal id's
which are frequently used in their messages, like 'CAFO' which is very often
used in weather reports and has probably a connection with the HQ WX-bureau.
CVVB, CVVT, CVVU, XVVP, 03, 12, 20, 21 / PT21, 24 / PT24, 32, 47, 51,
54, 57 / PT57, 80, 89
XSFM = 97 (note: XSFM is also Bantry Radio)
XSFC, XVVM, 0A = Irish Navy, Dublin / MRCC Shannon / Natl RNW Coord
(note: XSFC is also Valentia Radio)
CVVE = 87 / PT87
P31 Eithne ? (note: CVVZ is also logged as '87')
CVVA = 13 / PT13
P22 Aoife ?
XVQV = 13 / PT13

Innenministerium / Landeskriminalamt / Grenzschutzpolizei
--------------------------------------------------------The German MOI stations revisited. This rather large network is an
interesting one to monitor. I mentioned the network already in April's
newsletter and received a bunch of positive reactions and requests for more
info. With the kind help of a couple of other dxers, I compiled a frequency
list and also updated the codes and callsigns which now differ from the ones
mentioned in WUN#4. I thank Peter for helping me with this article.
The German Innenministerium (MOI) is responsible for the Landeskriminalamt
(LKA), the German Federal Police, and the Grenzschutzpolizei (GSP), the
Federal Border Police. The main control station is located in Bonn and uses
callsign DER. The other stations are either MOI stations in the capitals of
the various Federal States or stations of the GSP or LKA.
The channel identification is formed by a 5-letter code 'TTCFF' where 'TT'
represents the code for the addressee, 'FF' is the sender and 'C' is the
channel that is used. Most of the times channel 'V' is used. There is an
exception: Stuttgart uses channel 'F' for the link with Bonn. The MOI/LKA
stations are using the same id which is a abbreviation of the name of the
State or the name of the capital, i.e. Niedersachsen is 'NI'. The 2-letter
id's of the GSP are 'G'+ the first letter of the allocated area, i.e. 'GW'
is GSP Western Germany. The id for MOI/LKA Bonn is always 'HF' and GSP Bonn
'GW'. A typical channel id for a message on channel 'V' will therefore be
'NIVHF', which is a message from Bonn to Hannover, the capital of
Niedersachsen.
All transmissions are in ARQ-E. Most MOI/LKA stations use 96bd/85Hz shift
and GSP stations 72bd / 170Hz shift. The central station is Bonn and almost
all other stations communicate with each other via Bonn. This reduces the
amount of equipment since there is only one circuit involved for each
outstation. In order to keep the number of transmitters in Bonn to a
minimum, the stations are grouped and operate in 8-channel VFT and use the
USB of the transmitters. Bonn uses channels 1, 3, 6 and 8, the outstations
2, 4, 5 and 7. The channel centers are offset from the suppressed carrier by
820, 1160, 1500, 1840, 2180, 2520, 2860 and 3200Hz, spaced by 340Hz. Each
group of frequencies consists of 8 channels but there are also a few
isolated channels. The Dusseldorf-Bonn link for instance, uses 2671.5 kHz
and operates outside a group.
Traffic: most traffic is encrypted. There are however sometimes messages in
the clear. Bonn sends a 'QVL' message every 4 hours on 03.00, 07.00, 11.00,
15.00, 19.00 and 23.00 UTC. Most outstations will confirm within 30 minutes
after the QVL is sent.

The International Telecommunications Union in Switzerland has long been an
excellent source for ships' callsign data. Their publications of extensive
lists of maritime-mobile vessels and callsigns are invaluable (and fairly
expensive) guides for identifying transmissions heard in the maritime bands.
WUNners with access to the World Wide Web (WWW) on the internet now have a
WUNderful new resource available as the ITU has brought this data on-line.
The WWW URL is:

Salaam, Tanzania. The vessel is scheduled to be sold on an as-is/where-is
basis due to market conditions.
Similarly, the Maritime Administration has given Western Overseas,
Inc., Sylvania, OH, permission to sell and transfer to St. Vincent and The
Grenadines registry the cargo vessel MARJORIE LYKES. The vessel will be
sold to Ruby Enterprises, Inc., for resale to Ashwin Corp., an Indian
corporation, for scrapping in India.
The STELLA LYKES became somewhat well-known as a result of a book
published in 1990 ("Looking for a Ship" by John McPhee ISBN: 0-374-52319Pagina 202
WUN-v01
3). I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning
about life on an ocean going freighter and, in addition, the decline of the
American merchant marine. It's a very entertaining and enlightening book.
The SS STELLA LYKES will be missed.

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO MONITORING THE CW MARITIME BANDS (PART 1)
Although the use of Morse Code on the maritime bands has been under
steady decline, a surprising amount of CW (Continuous Wave) activity still
can be monitored on HF. This guide will attempt to provide an introduction
to techniques and procedures for copying this traffic.
CAVEAT: I do not purport to be an "expert" on this topic. I am not a
qualified marine radio operator. The material I'll be covering is based
strictly upon my observations and experiences monitoring these
communications. Comments, corrections, and suggestions from those in-theknow will be most welcome.
For the most part, maritime CW communications are "duplex" in nature
with the ship and shore stations operating on separate frequencies. While
voice maritime comms are also "duplex", no band plan of specific duplex
channels exists for CW operations. Instead, ships and shore stations must
coordinate frequency selection on the air.
Shore station frequencies are published in various guides
"Admiralty List of Radio Signals - Volume 1" published by the
Hydrographer of the Navy. As an example, the following chart
information provided on CW operations at PJC (Curacao Radio),
Netherlands Antilles:

H24
12 MHz (3,4,5)
1100-1500 1700-2300
16 MHz (3,4,5)
1500-1700
Ships wishing to make contact with PJC tune their receivers to one of the
assigned shore frequencies, based on the hours of operation and their
knowledge of current propagation. The Ship Channel column identifies those
CW calling channels that PJC monitors (see below). The ship's radio officer
then calls "PJC" on one of the appropriate calling channels, while listening
on the corresponding shore frequency.
MORE ABOUT SHIP CALLING CHANNELS Within each maritime band a range of frequencies has been allocated as
ships' calling frequencies. Within each calling band 10 channels (numbered
1 - 10) are assigned. As you'll see from the following chart, the channels
are not arranged sequentially within the band.

AN EXAMPLE:
As a hypothetical example, the R/O on board the M/V Worldwide Ute, callsign
4WUN, wishes to pass message traffic via PJC. The time is 2320 UTC. Based
Pagina 203
WUN-v01
on PJC's operational schedule the R/O tunes his receiver to 6491.5 kHz and
his transmitter to 6278 kHz (Ch.5 on 6 MHz). He then transmits "PJC" several
times but hears no return on the receiver. Since not all channels are
necessarily being monitored by PJC simultaneously he then tries 6276 kHz
for a minute or two but still has "no joy". Deciding that propagation might
not be optimal on 6 MHz he then decides to try 8 MHz. The receiver goes to
8694 kHz and he tunes the transmitter to 8369. After calling "PJC" several
times the receiver comes alive with a quick "DE". This is the shore
station's shorthand for "who is calling?". Our R/O then sends "PJC DE 4WUN
4WUN 4WUN QTC 1 / QRV? K" (PJC this is 4WUN - I have one item of traffic to
send - are you ready to copy?) PJC then sends "4WUN DE PJC K" (4WUN this is
PJC - go ahead). Success! The M/V Worldwide Ute has now established 2-way
comms with Curacao Radio.

---------------------Hi folks, I have some nice stuff for you this month. Check it out !
'Brotherhood' update
-------------------A new sked for KKK (to KUA) can be found on 10850 kHz at 19.04 UTC.
In our WUN-special about the Brotherhood, I told you that it most probably
is a diplo-related network. Just recently some new and very interesting info
came in. It seems that it is more than just diplo-related. According to
usually well informed sources, this network belongs to an organization
called SOUD.
This organization was founded in 1977 by the Communist block and is
basically an intelligence agency, accessible by all members of the former
and still active communist block. The job of this organization is to gather
information on everyone and everything - including their own and foreign
embassy personnel. They are said to be based either on the premises of the
Russian embassies and/or in separate installations. The organization's
central computer is located in Moscow, and queries from members, regarding
any subject are said to be handled in less than 4 hours time.
This theory makes sense, because it would explain:
- the use of Baudot telegraphy as some of the members don't
have the money to get hold of sophisticated equipment and
with so many nations involved it is of course a question of
standardization!
- the almost worldwide appearance of this net
- the question "ruskih registrow ok ?" which is rather puzzling
if this were to be a solely Russian net (see WUN#3).
- the use of non Russian words ("bereit", "Si")
Ok, who are they ? Little is known of the ultra secret intelligence
organization SOUD "Soglashenije o Sisteme Objedinennowo Utschotja Dannych
o protiwnike" which is Russian for "System for mutual gathering of info
about the enemy". This organization was founded in 1977 and was meant to
serve as an electronic information gathering association between the
intelligence agencies of the socialist camps. The members of SOUD were the
Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Mongolia, Cuba and
ofcourse Eastern Germany. They were later joined by Vietnam.
The immediate cause for the foundation of SOUD were the 1980 Olympics in
Moscow. To safe guard the USSR from 'foreign hostile forces' during the
Olympics, the main task for SOUD was to gather as much information about
the 'enemy' as they possibly could and store this info as comprehensive as
possible. Because the western countries boycotted the Olympics in Moscow,
most of the 'enemies' didn't show up either. Nevertheless SOUD became an
absolute hit in spy-land. Their success was so huge that they survived the
end of the cold war and even the collapse of the communist block.
After the foundation in 1977, it took about 2 years before they became
Pagina 204
WUN-v01
active. Besides the initiator, the KGB, no agency was as fanatical as the
East German Stasi. SOUD still gathers information about all possible
'enemies' of the alliance which are stored in the main computer in Moscow
and queries from members, regarding any subject are said to be handled in
less than 4 hours time.
The SOUD databanks include names of agents, zionists, hostile religious
organizations and organizations of emigrants, journalists, diplomats,
cultural and commercial attach s, representatives of airlines, etc etc.
Information found in Stasi documents reveals that in 1989 more then 11100
names were collected. Most of them included a personal description, the
maiden name of the mother and a sample of the handwriting.
Mossad oddity and schedules

---------------A new frequency has been noted for this station: 11170 kHz. After I
wrote last month's column, several new callsigns were brought to my
attention: Baker Edward Charlie, William Susan Susan and Mary Union
Adam. Callsign FYS that I mentioned last month is actually FYP Frank
Young Peter. The FYP, BEC and MUA callsigns contradict my earlier
note that all callsign include the letter 'S'. Recent DF results
pinpoint this station in either Krete or Egypt (Cairo).
Various N&O stuff
----------------Pagina 205
WUN-v01
The 'Russian Man' numbers station has been heard on 6840 kHz at 22.15 UTC
with a message to '507' and on 14860 kHz at 08.10 UTC with a message to
'139'.
Channelmarker 'R' is now also on 3194.9 kHz
The 'Russian Counting Man' is back on 4633 kHz with endless loop tapes with
10-counts and an unreadable callsign. The station is best heard in the
evening (1900-2100 UTC).
The '3-note oddity' station can be found on 4647 kHz where it transmits at
19.00 UTC on a daily basis. This station's id is a 3-note rising scale
'melody'. The messages are 5F groups in AM.
The CW version of the 'Swedish Rhapsody' station was heard at 19.00 UTC on
5340 kHz with 5F groups after series of 'LOLO'.
Mark Fine sent me these Spanish numbers loggings. As I have only little info
about the Spanish stations I am very interested in everything you guys can

============================================================================
P.O. Box 3888
Memphis, Tn 38173-0888, USA
Welcome to another installment of global military communications information
for monitors around the planet. Lots of info from lots of folks, so here
goes:
AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE: John Kecskes in Australia tells us his nation's defence
spending has fallen to its lowest level since WW II. In spite of this they
still plan to buy new navy helos for Anzac frigates, replacement Macchi jet
trainers, make upgrades to F/A-18 Hornet fighters and add new electronics to
their F-111s. The Navy has also been allocated $2.2B to be spent on Collins
class subs, minesweepers and Anzac frigates.
CANADIAN COAST GUARD: WUN member Robert Ward (VE1HN) of Nova Scotia shares
some inside insights and info about this fine organization he is a part of.
"You might not be aware of it, but the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is a
non-military organization, and the vast majority of us are just average
public servants. Until this past Apr. 1, the CCG was a section of the
federal transport department, 'Transport Canada,' and grew out of the old
Department of Transport buoy-tender fleet. On Apr. 1, the entire CCG
transferred to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). As a curious
matter of fact, to the best of my knowledge, no CCG ship has ever been
armed, but there are several Fisheries patrol vessels which carry 50-caliber
gun mounts."
Thanks for this interesting look inside the CCG, Robert. I wonder if this
action may have been prompted by the recent fish wars with Spain off the
Grand Banks, or if this move has been in the works for awhile?
CANADIAN FORCES: Craig MacKinnon (VE1JMA-also in Nova Scotia) tells us the
434 "Schooner" Combat Support Squadron has officially left CFB Shearwater
for CFB Greenwood. This leaves Shearwater with only ASW helo squadrons.
Pagina 206
WUN-v01
The future of the base remains undecided. There are rumors of a smaller
civilian airport being established for commuter airlines and private
aircraft.
CANADIAN MARITIME FORCES: Several items here from the Maritime Forces
Pacific HQ Public Affairs Office at Esquimalt, B.C.

years.

She will depart Esquimalt July 10, and is expected back home Dec. 23, thus
becoming the first Canadian patrol frigate to circumnavigate the world.
several Asia-Pacific countries. Vancouver will visit Tonga, Australia, New
Zealand and Western Samoa. Regina will visit the Philippines, Hong Kong,
Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Western Samoa.
(Vancouver has already been heard working the Australian Navy on 8122 kHz
USB, so we can probably expect to hear Regina as well). Both ships are
expected back at Esquimalt on Aug. 4.
NATO: For anyone who missed the barrage of traffic on this event, here are
the highlights of an upcoming NATO exercise. For the first time on U.S.
soil, NATO soldiers will hold a peacekeeping exercise with troops of the
former Warsaw Pact. The exercise, called Cooperative Nugget '95, will be
held Aug. 6-28 at Ft. Polk, La. (great weather in Louisiana in August!!!).
About 4,200 troops from 14 central and eastern European countries, the
U.S., Canada and the UK will participate. Nine countries will send
observers including France, Austria and Georgia. The scenario at Ft. Polk
will be a fictional border dispute between two hypothetical countries. The
non-NATO countries scheduled to participate are Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech
Rep., Estonia, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the
Slovak Rep., Slovenia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Most comms will probably be
of the VHF/UHF/SAT variety, but you never know when some HF might sneak in.
Definitely worth listening for.
U.S. AIR FORCE: Keith Elgin in the UK follows up on Bob Lewallyn's info from
last month on RAZOR callsigns. He says, "After reading Bob's bit on the
RAZOR callsign and his mention of them in the shepherding role, I thought
you might like to see the following confirmed sightings for the RAZOR/HEADDANCER on such missions. On the NAT tracks they use the RAZOR callsign and
likewise on UHF when under radar control. On the GHFS channels HEAD-DANCER
appears to be the favored callsign. Very rarely have I heard them calling as
RAZOR.

U.S. COAST GUARD: The Coast Guard has announced plans to close its large
operating base on Governors Island in New York Harbor. Several 378' high
endurance cutters have been based there, and many other "white ones" before
them.
at Governors Island May 29 for an extended deployment to the Mediterranean
Sea. During the deployment she will conduct coastal patrol exercises,
maritime law enforcement and search and rescue training, as well as
participate in operations with a U.S. Navy battle group. An important goal
is increased cooperation with Mediterranean nations. This might be a good
opportunity for some of our European members to log the Dallas, and maybe
even visit her if she make a port call in your area.
U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT FLEET: The high-level Commission on Roles and
Missions of the Armed Forces told Congress that the military fleet of 551
passenger planes used like a private airline by the military brass was far
in excess of wartime needs. It recommended that it should be turned over to
the Air Force, except for certain Navy aircraft. It noted that only 59 of
the 551 planes saw duty in the Persian Gulf War. It exempted from criticism,

however, the Andrews AFB, Maryland-based 89th Airlift Wing that operates Air
Force One, and a fleet of jets used by government officials and members of
Congress.
U.S. NAVY: Rick Baker shares a logging and some interesting background
concerning some USN special purpose aircraft. The logging: 11175 kHz Navy
442: NP-3D BuNo 153442 0511 UTC USB clg/wkg MacDill GHFS, Fla., w/pp, gives
posn, cse & spd. This modified P-3 is assigned to Flight Support Det. at the
Naval Research Lab, NAS Patuxent, Md. It is one of 5 such NP-3Ds there.
Rick then adds the following: "I QSLd NAVY 589 back in April and the Public
Affairs Office sent a list of the aircraft assigned there. They are Bureau
Nos 154589, 149674, 153442, 154587 and 158227. They sometimes also use the
callsign 'RESEARCHER' plus the last 3 digits of their BuNo (a tail number to
you Air Force folks)." Thanks for this great info Rick.
complete the ocean surveillance ship USNS IMPECCABLE (T-AGOS 23) by Tampa
(Florida) Shipyards. These ships are used to augment the Navy's submarine
surveillance capabilities by towing sophisticated sonar gear (called
SURTASS). The Navy and Tampa signed a contract for construction of the ship
in 1991, but the Florida shipyard was unable to complete the contract. The
IMPECCABLE will be 281 feet long, have a beam of 96 feet, and be constructed
with a SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) catamaran style twin hull.
I guess that raps it up for another month. Listening has slowed down some,
but thankfully hasn't come to a complete stop (unlike the inflow of QSLs in
my P.O. Box). Thanks for all your great contributions, and see you next
time!

Don Moore checks in with the following: <Thanks Don>
QSL NOTES - BOLIVIA: The v/s for La Paz Aeradio was Andres Kucharsky Cortez,
Jefe del Departamento Operaciones. In the Spanish letter I received Andres
says he has spent over 2 years in the USA, including time in DE, CO, MS, &
TX, so he must speak some English. I would still recommend Spanish reports
since it would be the "culturally sensitive" and friendly thing to do.
However, also including a note in English shouldn't be out of line. The
address for the La Paz station is:
.
Admin de Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares a la
Pagina 210
WUN-v01
.
Navegacion Aerea (AASANA)
.
Avenida Montes 716
Casilla 4382
.
La Paz, Bolivia
.
. The Cochabamba office is at AASANA; Casilla 1843; Cochabamba.
PERU - The v/s for Tingo Maria Aeradio is Lic. Adm. Jose Saavedra Cango. The
card has a return address of Apartado 148, Tingo Maria, Peru. I suspect this
is his personal address, so probably reports should simply be addressed to
Jose at this address without mentioning the station on the envelope.
# # #
I have exchanged a couple of email messages with a fellow at coastal station
KFS. KFS has been one of the few US coastal stations that had eluded my
efforts to obtain a QSL. I mentioned that in one of my messages and it now
looks like that's definitely changed. FYI, here's what the new QSL manager
(Michael Beck) at KFS had to say:
> Just a little note, I got your resend. I volunteered and was appointed
> QSL manager for the Globe Wireless Network. I was perusing the stack, and
> came upon your original request. I have a huge pile and there are a
> couple of details that need to be worked through. I suspect that the
> first batch of QSL cards should be sent out within the week.. I promise
> that you will be in that pile. So expect the QSL card within the next
> couple of weeks....
Some of these "aged" PFCs (some from the 1980's) have been appearing in
WUNners' mailboxes so KFS is making good on that promise. Their address is:
KFS World Communications, 1 Meyn Road, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019, USA.

=============================================================================
The WUN Logs Column
We some nice diversity this month, including logs from New Zealand and
Spain for the first time. We'll sure have a lot to shoot for when the solar
cycle starts to pick back up. A nice turn out once again. It doesn't matter
if it's one log or 50k of logs, just keep them coming! Lots of first timers
fir the Logs Column...and a good thing! All the 'vets' were no shows with
logs last month!
If you post logs on the WUN listserver, please list your city, country
and your e-mail address at the bottom of your post and include your full
name. This saves a lot of time in researching this info for me. Thanks!
Unid's ID'ed from last month:
Eric Sillick says UEHM is the Aleksandr...thanks Eric!

Information from the staff: After a lot of work by the WUN staff,
especially by Jim Navary, we have a new charter in place. Please keep this
copy since it forms the rules for the club and the club listserver.
WUN CHARTER (17 July 1995)
1.
2.
The Worldwide UTE News Club (WUN) was established in
January 1995. The purpose of the club is to further the exchange
of information concerning the hobby of monitoring "utility" radio
transmissions that appear in the radio spectrum below 30 mHz.
Broadly defined, "utility" stations are non-broadcast stations,
other than those in the amateur radio service.
WUN uses two primary methods to accomplish this purpose:
Pagina 240
WUN-v01
a. The Worldwide UTE News Newsletter (WUN Newsletter): The WUN
Newsletter is the monthly journal of the Worldwide UTE News
Club and is published in both electronic and hard-copy (paper)
editions.
b. The Worldwide UTE News Listserver: The listserver enables
members with access to internet email to exchange utility
monitoring information in near real-time. Email messages sent to
the listserver email address are "reflected" to all members who
have registered with the administrator of the listserver. The WUN
listserver provides the membership with a dynamic and powerful
medium for the exchange of information.
c. In addition to the WUN Listserver, a second listserver (WUNNEWS)
has been established to provide members who do not wish to participate
in the activities on the interactive WUN Listserver with a method to
automatically receive the electronic version of the WUN newsletter.
Since the quantity of message traffic handled by the WUN Listserver
varies and can be, at times, quite large, members who have limited
internet access may choose to subscribe to the WUNNEWS listserver
so as to minimize the message traffic that is directed to their email
accounts.
3.
Membership Requirements:
a. No dues will be assessed for membership in the Worldwide Utility
News Club.
b. Due to the costs associated with preparing and distributing the
paper edition of the WUN Newsletter, this version of the newsletter
is available at a slight charge for reimbursement of costs for materials
and postage. This charge has been established at US $1.50 per copy,
payable to the paper edition publisher.
c. Membership is granted through registration through any of the
following methods:
1) Registration via the WUN Listserver; or
2) Registration via the WUNNEWS Listserver; or
3) Pre-paid registration with the WUN Newsletter paper edition
publisher.
4) Registration forwarded to a member of the WUN Executive Board
by an individual using a non-Email equipped BBS, or other
electronic system. Such registration shall include members name,
city, state/province and country, and the name of the system
upon which he receives the WUN Newsletter.
4.
Standards of Conduct:
a. As the WUN Listserver provides an extremely powerful tool for
worldwide communications, members are requested to exercise this
power with caution. Members using this resource must, therefore,
accept responsibility for maintaining reasonable standards of conduct
when posting messages for distribution to the general membership.
Common courtesy and common sense should prevail.
b. Membership in the Worldwide UTE News Club is truly world-wide,
open to individuals of varying political and religious beliefs (as
well as to minors). Accordingly, when posting to the WUN Listserver,
members shall avoid the use of profanity and messages with offensive
political, religious, or ethnic content. Members shall not engage
in personal attacks or post other inflammatory messages.
c. In consideration of those members whose internet service
providers charges are based on the quantity of email received,
messages posted to the WUN Listserver should remain consistent with
the stated purpose of the club. While occassional "off-topic"
postings are not of great concern, excessive postings/discussions
of questionable relevance shall be avoided. Similarly, in lieu of
Pagina 241
WUN-v01
posting extremely lengthy messages or encoded files (e.g., using
uuencode, BinHex, PGP, Mime and similar encoded files not in plain,
clear text ASCII) members are encouraged to post a brief message
describing the availability of the item, soliciting members'
interest. Private email amongst interested members should then be
used to distribute the file(s).
d. List administrative matters, including mediation responsibilities
in the event of minor disputes, or the issuance of disciplinary
warnings in the event of blatant violation of the WUN Standards of
Conduct will be handled by the WUN Standards Officer.
e. Any member who consistantly violates the few rules, as stated in
the WUN Standards of Conduct, may be subject to removal from the club.
The WUN Standards Officer shall maintain a list of warnings sent and
shall notify the Executive Board when three disciplinary warnings
have been sent to a member. The WUN Executive Board shall then
determine the appropriate disciplinary action, to include expulsion
from the club and it's listservers.
f. Members of the WUN Executive Board may be removed from the Board
at any time as a result of failure to adequately carry out the duties
of their club position based on a vote of the other Board members.
g. As processing time and connectivity on the computer system housing
the WUN Listserver is donated, decisions as to the propriety of message
traffic reflected by the Listserver (and individual members' access to
the system) ultimately rest with the system administrator.
5.
Administration:
a. Club administrative matters are handled by the WUN Executive
Board which consists of:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
The Newsletter Editor-in-Chief (also serves as Club CEO)
The WUN Listserver System Administrator
The WUN World Wide Web Page Administrator
The Newsletter Paper Edition Publisher
The WUN Standards Officer
The WUN Membership Director
Each WUN Newsletter column editor/co-editor
b. Club policy matters will be decided by a simple majority vote of
the Board. For voting purposes, individuals serving in more than one
club position are entitled to a single vote. In the event of tie votes,
the CEO shall cast a second, deciding vote.
c. The Newsletter Paper Edition Publisher shall keep all monies
received to cover his costs in the printing and mailing of the club
newsletter to those so paying. He shall ensure that paper editions
are sent to those so paying in a timely manner and that there are
sufficiant funds to do this. Any monies that may be declared excess
by him, shall be used for the purpose of responding to inquiries,
mailing copies of the newsletter for publicity and similar purposes.

MEMBERSHIP NEWS
Mike Wolfson, Membership Director
[email protected]
Welcome to another edition of the WUN Newsletter. Membership has really
picked up over the last month. As of 1 July WUN had 489 members, up from last
month. We also have 22 countries represented.
As many of you know, we have been getting some very favorable press in
Monitoring Times, Popular Communications and in Shortwave Magazine. Those
favorable comments resulted in a surge in membership in early July. During
the first week of the month we had about 2 dozen people subscribe to WUN
Pagina 242
WUN-v01
alone and combined membership is over 500 as we go to press.
When I signed on to this job, Rick Baker suggested that I start creating
a database of information about the membership. I've put together a short
letter requesting that information and have contacted Joel about having the
note sent automatically to new members. I've sent out a few manually and
appreciate the replies I've gotten back. I'd like to ask that you answer the
following questions and return the answers to me via e-mail. The database
management program can accept ASCII text. I am requesting that you answer
each question on a separate line followed by a carriage return. Please do not
include the question itself in the answer, just the information requested.
Here is the survey:
E-Mail Address
Name
Where you're located (state/Province, Country)
Main receiver(s)
Main decoding equipment (HOKA, JVFAX, None, etc)
Monitoring interests (aero, marine, etc)
Supplying the information is voluntary but appreciated. That should do
it for July. I hope everyone has a good month and have fun with your radios.
CU30.

I would like to send a belated thank you to WUNner Paul Jones of
Birmingham, England UK for providing us with the British Airways 777 Test
Flight Schedule which appeared in last month's column. A tip of the hat to
you, Paul! This month we will concentrate on logging the Airbus A300 and
place the International Civil Aero spotlight on Boeing 757 Transatlantic
flights. Also we'll take a closer look at some of the more obscure Transatlantic operators flying over the pond.
But first in International Airline news this month, effective 29 July
British Airways will once again offer Concorde service from London (Heathrow)
to Barbados for the Summer season. BA273 operates LHR-BGI on Saturdays dep
1815 arr 1730. BA272 operates BGI-LHR on Sundays dep BGI at 1230 arr LHR at
2145. Keep your ear out for this new SSC flight! New operator Alliance (the
operating name of a joint venture between South African Airways, Air
Tanzania, and Uganda Airlines) is leasing 747SP-44 ZS-SPA from SAA to operate
flights under the code Y2. Alliance operates flights to London-Heathrow from
Entebbe, Uganda with the following schedule: Y2001 operates Mondays LHR-EBB
dep 2200 arr 0800+1; Y2002 operates Thursdays and Sundays EBB-LHR dep 2359
arr 0630+1. Emery Worldwide began operating weekly DC8-73F cargo flights from
Chicago to Basle on behalf of Swissair. Effective May 9 Aeroflot has added
direct Khabarovsk-Anchorage-Los Angeles IL62 service operating Tuesdays:
SU819 dep 1500 arr ANC 0150; arr LAX 0920; SU820 operates LAX-ANC-KHV
Tuesdays dep LAX 1120 dep ANC 1700 arr KHV 1800+1. Keep an ear out for
Cameroon Airlines' new route to London (Gatwick) from Douala operating
Mondays dep 2359 arr 0655+1 as UY072 using B747M equipment. TAAG-Angola has
added a weekly Luanda-Rio de Janeiro flight using L1011-500 aircraft.
Flights operate Tuesdays dep Luanda 1230 arr Rio de Janeiro 1600 as DT741;
The return flight GIG-LAD is DT742 dep 1800 arr 0530+1. Ukraine International
always guarantees an interesting routing, how's this one for obscure:
New York (JFK) to Ivano-Frankovsk! JFK-IVO IL62 service operates Wednesdays
dep JFK 1600 arr 0755+1 as 6U108. Here are three opportunities to log an
Airbus A300 on HF: Olympic Airlines of Greece operates an A300 on its
Johannesburg-Nairobi-Athens service. OA104 operates Tuesdays dep JNB 1045 dep
NAI 1640 arr ATH 2230. OA106 operates Fridays dep JNB 1850 dep NAI 0045 on
Saturday arr ATH 0635. Air Afrique will commence A300 service between Dakar
and New York (JFK) effective 20 July dep DKR 1800 arr JFK 2235 as RK541.
JFK-DKR return service operates Fridays dep JFK 0030 arr DKR 1225 effective
21 July. Air Maldives, certainly an exotic catch on this side of the
Atlantic operates the following schedule to/from Male: Dubai (DXB)-Male
Pagina 243
WUN-v01
(MLE) L6051 dep 0730 arr 1300 operating Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays,
Sundays. Departs 1420 and arrives 1950 on Wednesdays. L6050 from Male to
Dubai operates Mon/Tue/Sat/Sun dep 1820 arr 2200, on Fri dep 2355 arr 0335+1.
also, Air Maldives operates A300 service to/from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and
Colombo (CMB) as L6163 dep KUL 2000 dep CMB 2205 arr MLE 2255 on Fridays.
L6162 dep MLE 2115 arr CMB 2305 dep CMB 0005 arr KUL 0610 on Wednesdays.
Lufthansa operates an A300 on its Lagos-Frankfurt run, LH 575 operates on
Tuesdays and Fridays departing 2359 and arriving FRA 0715+1. Thanks to WUN
member Wim de Mol in Wezep, The Netherlands, we have an interesting addition
to the Transatlantic DX scene: Uzbekistan Airways are operating A310 service
from New York (JFK) to Amsterdam on Fridays. Departure time for HY206
according to Wim is 2200 UTC and he even managed to obtain the registrations
and Selcals of the A310's used on this service: F-OGQY, selcal CB-RS and
F-OGQZ, selcal ES-GP. Thanks very much for the effort, Wim!
The International Civil Aero spotlight falls upon the Boeing 757 which
is utilized in increasing numbers across the Atlantic. British Airways uses
the 757 on a number of flights including Glasgow-New York (JFK). BA205 dep
GLA 1025 arr JFK 1250 wednesdays, and the return BA204 dep JFK 1950 arr GLA
0735+1 x Wednesdays. Birmingham-New York (JFK) service is operated as BA 187
dep BHX 1120 arr JFK 1405 and the return BA186 dep JFK 1930 arr BHX 0730+1
excluding 17 July. Manchester-New York (JFK) is a one-time only 757 special
flight in July: BA183 operates 19 July only dep MAN 1000 arr JFK 1240 and
returning as BA182 dep JFK 1815 arr MAN 0610+1. American Airlines has
recently added the 757 to its Transatlantic arsenal operating a ManchesterNew York (JFK) service: AA93 dep MAN 1045 arr JFK 1325 and the return AA92
dep JFK 1920 arr MAN 0710+1. Continental Airlines will start NewarkManchester service effective 20 July. CO75 dep MAN 1120 arr EWR 1405 and
CO74 dep EWR 2000 arr MAN 0745+1. Icelandair operates the 757 exclusively on
its Transatlantic routes, including Reykjavik (KEF)Baltimore (BWI),
Reykjavik-New York (JFK), and Reykjavik-Orlando (MCO). FI643 operates
Tuesdays from KEF-BWI dep 1625 arr 1835 and returning BWI-KEF as FI642 dep
BWI 2045 arr KEF 0625+1. The rest of the week departure and arrival times are
5 minutes later for FI643. KEF-JFK service operates daily as FI615 dep KEF
1640 arr JFK 1840 and returning as FI614 dep 2050 arr 0620+1. KEF-MCO service
operates only as FI663 dep KEF 1700 arr MCO 2045 on Mondays and returning on
Tuesdays MCO-KEF dep 1900 arr 0610+1. Keep in mind that charter airlines such
as Condor, LTU, LTS, Air Transat, Canada 3000, Monarch, Air Europe, Air
Europa, North American, and American Trans Air among others also operate the
757 Transatlantic. Any further additions to this list would be most welcome
at International Civil Aero.
The list of currently operational 777's in last month's International
Civil Aero has been revised. As we go to press, here are all known United
777's in operation: N766UA (AQ-BH), N767UA (AQ-BJ), N768UA (AQ-BK),
and N777UA (AQ-BG).
LDOC - Long Distance Operational Control Frequencies
In order for a flight to travel to and from its destination a great deal
of information such as the flight planning, current weather information,
aircraft performance and maintenance status must be made available and kept
up to date to ensure a safe journey. Some of these factors particularly
changing weather conditions often arise while the flight is still several
hours from arrival. Long Distance Operational Control frequencies provide the
link between company dispatchers and their Pilot's to exchange any
information deemed necessary by either side.
One of the most widely used methods for exchanging company
communications is by way of phone patches. Throughout the World private
companies such as ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Inc), Rainbow Radio, Stockholm
Radio, etc, are able at the Pilot's request to provide a phone patch to the
company dispatching office thus allowing the Pilot to report and receive any
information. Many of the World's major Airlines have acknowledged the
benefits of being able to establish such communications with their own
flights and have gone one step further. These Airlines been assigned
frequencies and operate their own facilities for company communications. As
co-operation is becoming more and more of an industry standard, airlines
without their own radio facilities are contracting the services of those that
are equipped to provide the necessary communications link. As mentioned
earlier the information can vary, and while most of the messages may
Pagina 244
WUN-v01
appear to be routine in nature there are times where the conversations can
become quite colorful. The most important thing to remember when monitoring
LDOC communications is that with one exception that being South African
Airways, there are no transmission schedules. Unlike the ATC frequencies
where aircraft report their positions at the given times, company messages
can occur at any time. As stated the exception to the rule is South African
Airways which have a policy that their flights report to Johannesburg on the
hour. Quite often pilots report the maintenance status of the aircraft as
either A (Alpha) or B (Bravo). Status A means the aircraft systems are
performing as normal, whereas status B indicates a problem of some sort and
a brief description will follow. This allows the mechanics to prepare for any
repairs necessary upon arrival. Whether the messages are routine or not Long
Distance Operational Control frequencies can make for some very interesting
listening. In this installment I've listed frequencies for some of the major
Airlines of the world. Watch for part two in the next issue of WUN.

---------------------Hi folks, greetings from a tropical Spijkenisse. Thomas sent me a
the route indicator of the German Navy in Wilhelmshaven-Sengwarden (DHJ59).
The following units are using router RGFDEA: Genavradsta Wilhelmshaven,
Commcen Wilhelmshaven, Comgernorsea, Genavsupcom, Genavdistcom West, CRO
(Coastal Radar Organization), MFmGrp 21 and MFmGrp 22.
Because of its length, I have only one subject for you this month,
but I think it's a good one. I hope you will like it too.
Monitoring the Guardia Civil
---------------------------A frequently monitored organization on SW is the Spanish Guardia Civil,
the Spanish State Police. The Spanish police forces are part of their
national defense system and include a.o. Guardia Civil (civil police),
Guardacostas (coast guard) and Policia Nacional (nat. police).
Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities (comunidades autonomas);
Pagina 245
WUN-v01
Andalucia, Aragon, Asturias, Canarias, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha,
Castilla y Leon, Cataluna, Communidad Valencia, Extremadura, Galicia, Islas
Baleares, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra, Pais Vasco + five places of
sovereignty on and off the coast of Morocco (Ceuta, Mellila, Islas
Chafarinas, Penon de Alhucemas, and Penon de Velez de la Gomera). Each
comunidad autonoma has it's own Guardia Civil. Madrid however, is responsible
for all units.
Their normal transmitting mode is standard Sitor-A, some stations use
both Sitor-A and Sitor-B. Traffic is mainly plaintext, up to and including secret (secreto) messages. Contact is made normally by sending a 4letter selcal. They also use CW to chatter and perform call-ups. Equipment
problems also sometimes force them to use CW or USB. Traffic is occasionally
encrypted (cifrado), which is preceded by a stream of MXMXMXMX followed by
the text. ITU callsigns are occasionally seen in chatter, but not used in
traffic. In fact, their selcals are merely the last four letters of the
unit's strategic router in 99% of the cases, except for the RETE-series
units, whose selcals are in the selcal list indicated next to their routers
(and those are easy to figure out, since they use city names). International
callsigns (EA-series) are rarely seen. Most often, the operator (for example
EHG7) will only use G-7 in chatter and you'll have to figure out if he's
using a unit acronym or a callsign. Traffic is always Castilian Spanish. The
different regions don't seem to use their own languages (ie Basque, Catalan,
Galician).
As you can see in the frequency list below, most frequencies are in the
2 and 5 MHz. The 10 MHz is only due to recently poor propagation conditions. The stations in the Navarra area transmit in Sitor-A with reverse
polarity. This is a bit odd as the rest of the stations send in 'normal'
polarity. All messages are routed by the nets through their zone to Madrid.
The current military freqs are: 4539.25, 5391.3, 5776.6, 4853.7 and
10435.2 kHz. 5391.3 is one of the REFA-series stations, who are the best
operators (most disciplined in the country by far). This must be an elite
group, possibly they are the elite anti-terrorist outfits up in the Basque
country.
This list is probably not complete; additions and/or changes are highly
appreciated. Stations generally communicate either within their respective
zones (the comunidades autonomas excl. of Canarias and the Moroccan places)
or with Madrid, indicated are the primary area users.

MORE US FLAG SHIPS HEADED FOR THE BREAKERS
Four breakbulk freighters formerly owned by Lykes Brothers Steamship
Co. are heading for scrapping, with MarAd approval received. John Lykes,
Louise Lykes, and Ashley Lykes will be sold by Western Overseas Inc.,
Sylvania, OH, to Ruby Enterprises Inc., U.K., who will resell them to
Sanjay Steel Corp., Kamdar Associates, and Gupta Steel. They will transfer
to St. Vincent and the Grenadines-registry for scrapping in India.
Genevieve Lykes will be sold by Neptune International Inc., Elk Grove, IL,
to Neter Navigation S.A., which will resell the ship to Arya Steel for
scrapping in India. The ships, each 11,000 tons, were built in the 1960's.
RECENT CASUALTIES:
Pagina 249
WUN-v01
M/T Bacab suffers fire, two dead
Two crew members were killed in an engine room fire and subsequent
explosions 80 miles southeast of Acapulco, Mexico, early June 14. The
Mexican Navy evacuated the remaining 32 crew of M/T Bacab (Mexican-registry
30,800 ton tanker owned by Petroleos Mexicanos). The fire was contained
before reaching the cargo of 202,692 barrels of gasoline, diesel fuel, and
jet fuel headed for Topolobampo. The ship was towed and anchored two miles
off Punto Moldonado. Pemex has sent two replacement tankers to Topolobampo
to ensure supplies would not run out.
M/V Ms. Amy sinks, fuel spill
1,500 gallons of diesel fuel spilled into Mississippi Sound after M/V
Ms. Amy (U.S.-registry tugboat owned by E&S Towing, Diamondhead, MS), which
was pushing six empty barges, sank in 10 feet of water off Dauphin Island,
AL, on the morning of June 13. Most of the vessel remained above water with
the five crew rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Tug sinks in New Orleans
A tugboat sank in the Industrial Canal in New Orleans, LA, on June 22.
A fuel spill resulted. All three crew escaped the M/V Janet Dyess in the 3
a.m. sinking.

RADIO OFFICERS STAY FOR NOW
With the Telecom Act clearing the U.S. Senate, radio officers will
continue to be required on U.S. flag vessels until individual ships have
automatic distress signals installed.

FISHING VESSELS
The following reference books concerning fishing vessels were recently
cited on the SHIPS mailing list. I am not personally familiar with these
books and I would be interested in comments from anyone who has seen either
of them.
"Fishing Vessels of the United States"
Nautilus Publishing, Inc.
2025 1st Avenue, Suite 1000
Seattle, WA 98121-2100
(206) 448-1780
This book is now in its second edition, and is set up like a mini "Janes."
It has information on all US Flag F/Vs over 79' (about 1400 of them), and
pictures for about half.
"Fishing Vessel and Processor Directory"
Salmon Bay Communications
1515 NW 51st St.
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 789-5333
This is simply a list of all large fishing vessel operators (mostly
catcher processors), and shore based processing companies. No pictures.
# # #
FOLLOW-UP
Last month we reported on the proposed sale of a number of the Military
Sealift Command's (MSC) tankers. The latest information I have indicates
that at least three of them have indeed been sold to foreign owners who will
reflag them under the Panamanian flag. These include:
USNS Sealift Mediterranean (re-named San Marco)
USNS Sealift China Sea (re-named San Ambrogio)
USNS Sealift Indian Ocean (re-named Santa Ana)
This sale (along with six other MSC Sealift tankers) is the final result of
a US Senate investigation which discovered that the vessels had been operated
for more than a decade without proper maintenance and supervision. In their
Pagina 250
WUN-v01
place MSC has started to charter privately owned US flag vessels on a shortterm basis. Three such ships recently chartered for a six-month period
include the tankers Duchess, Patriot, and Courier.
Thanks to WUNners Ary Boender and Art Blair, as well as the SHIPS mailing
list for items used this month.

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO MONITORING THE CW MARITIME BANDS (PART 2)
Last month we started this attempt to provide an introduction to techniques
and procedures for copying maritime CW traffic. In our hypothetical example
the Radio Operator (R/O) on board the M/V Worldwide Ute, callsign 4WUN, had
just established contact with coastal station PJC on a calling channel in the
8 MHz band.
Since traffic is generally not passed on calling frequencies the R/O now must
advise PJC of the frequency he will be using to transmit. Still monitoring
the calling frequency we copy: "GM OM - QTC 1 QSS 345". Translated this means
"Good Morning old man, I have 1 piece of message traffic for you. I will use
the working frequency 8345 kHz." Normally only the last three figures of the
working frequency are sent. Once hearing this piece of information you know
where to tune to copy the ship's traffic. However, do not immediately tune
to that frequency. Instead, wait until you hear the ship transmit "dit dit".
This is the verification that the shore station has correctly copied the
working frequency. Still monitoring the calling frequency after a pause of
several seconds we hear the "dit dit" all-clear signal and tune to 8345 to
copy the message traffic.
Unfortunately, the scenario presented above is not the only one you'll hear.
R/Os seem to use a wide variety of techniques for establishing contact and
moving the coast station to their working frequency. The one common
denominator is to listen for that three digit number that represents the
last three digits of the working frequency within the same band where
contact was established. At times more than three digits might be sent and,
indeed, at times a completely different band might be selected. "QSS 12448"
would, of course, mean for the coastal station to listen on 12448 kHz,
regardless of the band where initial contact was established. Other major
variations that can be heard include:
-- using QSW instead of QSS (the meanings are similar)
-- using "UP" instead of QSS or QSW (even when the new freq is lower)
Additionally, many ships' R/Os will include their QSS information when
attempting to make initial contact. When I first started monitoring ships on
CW I wasted alot of time by moving to the QSS frequency as soon as I copied
it; the ship never appeared on frequency. For example, in attempting initial
contact the R/O might send "PJC PJC PJC DE 4WUN - UP 456". By moving to 8345
immediately I failed to hear the R/O call again...and again...and again
before giving up on that frequency or coastal station due to lack of
response.
By my observation, generally, more call-ups fail than succeed. Therefore I
was wasting alot of time by moving to a working frequency that never
materialized.
Many contacts never go beyond the calling frequency even though a successful
link is established. Here is a typical example:
PJC DE 4WUN. QRU? (pause) then: NIL TU GW and silence. What happened? Well,
4WUN made contact with PJC and asked if PJC had any traffic on hand for the
ship (QRU?). During the pause PJC tells 4WUN (on the duplex freq) that they
have nothing for them. 4WUN then replies "NIL" (I have nothing for you) and
TU (thank you) GW (have a good watch). A short and sweet QSO since neither
station had traffic to send.
Next month: Copying the message traffic on the working frequency.

Welcome to the July installment of the WUN Military Column.
There's been a lot of news recently concerning the U.S. Base Realignment and
Closure Commission (BRAC). Here is an abbreviated list of anticipated
closures, focusing on those installations that are likely to have HF radio
facilities:
ARMY - Ft. McClellan, Ala.; Ft. Chaffee, Ark.; Ft. Ritchie, Md.; Bayonne
Military Ocean Terminal, N.J.; Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pa.; Ft. Pickett, Va.
NAVY - Naval Air Facility, Adak, Alaska; Naval Air Station, Weymouth, Mass.
AIR FORCE - McClellan AFB, Calif.; Ontario Int'l Airport Air Guard Station,
Calif.; Chicago O'Hare Int'l Airport Air Reserve Station, Ill.; Roslyn xir
Guard Station, N.Y.; Bergstrom Air Reserve Base, Tex.; Reese AFB, Tex.
Although this is a little after-the-fact, some WUNers may have heard comms
from this exercise. Over 7,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marine recently
participated in two weeks of global conversation, testing systems for
transmitting large volumes of voice, data and visual messages. Originally
slated for dialogue across four continents, Exercise Grecian Firebolt '95 was
cut to three when Army signal units in Germany dropped out because of the
situation in Bosnia. The exercise started June 10, and linked communications
systems in the U.S. to systems in Asia and North and Central America. In the
U.S., Grecian Firebolt operated across 16 states from Alaska to Florida. The
USS Blue Ridge, a specially equipped naval vessel, was part of the global
communications network. A DoD official said, "Grecian Firebolt '95 evaluated
the entire signal force structure and tested the capability of DoD to provide
information management services to the war fighters. It also tested the
interoperability between units of all of the services and demonstrated that
reserve and active components can communicate well with each other to achieve
a high state of readiness in a tactical communications environment." Army
signal units in Korea and Panama linked up with stateside units in Arizona,
Hawaii, New York and North Carolina. They were joined by Army National Guard
units from Delaware, New York and South Carolina, and Reserve units from New
York and Georgia. Another DoD official stated, "We also used this exercise
as a platform to conduct statewide emergency management office
communications, which is used during natural disasters - hurricanes,
tornadoes, earthquakes. The exercise allows active duty and reserve
component units to test their communications systems for interoperability and
iron out any bugs." Grecian Firebolt was designed to help major commanders
in joint operations access information for battlefield command and control.
Additionally, military communications equipment and personnel supported
civilian agencies in relief and recovery operations in the aftermath of
simulated natural disasters. Telecommunications support was provided to
state and county emergency preparedness divisions, public safety agencies and
other emergency assistance organizations. Grecian Firebolt was sponsored by
the U.S. Army Information Systems Command at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz.
Here is a list of major military operations the U.S. European Command is now
involved in. PROVIDE COMFORT is a multinational effort to protect the flow
of humanitarian aid to the Kurds in northern Iraq. From 40 to 50 fixed wing
and helicopter sorties are made each day from NATO bases in Turkey. SHARP
GUARD involves U.S. Navy units working with NATO allies enforcing sanctions
against Serbia in the Adriatic Sea. PROVIDE PROMISE helps deliver
humanitarian aid and supplies to Bosnia-Herzegovina from NATO bases in
Germany and Italy. DENY FLIGHT enforces the no-fly zone over Bosnia and
provides close air support for U.N. peacekeepers upon request. ABLE SENTRY
involves a U.N. force in Macedonia helping prevent the war in Bosnia from
spreading.
ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY - Garden Island, near Rockingham in Western Australia,
is the home of Australia's fastest-growing naval Base. HMAS Stirling, also
known as Fleet Base West, is located on the shore of Careening Bay. Is the
Pagina 252
WUN-v01
home of numerous vessels and over 2,000 naval personnel. By the year 2000,
the RAN plans to base half of the Australian fleet there, with uniformed
personnel numbering over 3,500.
CANADIAN MARITIME FORCES - Here's a list of the Halifax-class frigates and
their callsigns, received directly from their Public Affairs Office:
Halifax-CGAP, Vancouver-CGAR, Ville de Quebec-CGAC, Toronto-CGAD,
Regina-CGAE, Calgary-CGAF, Montreal-CGAG, Fredericton-CGAN, Winnipeg-CGAI,
Charlottetown-CGAJ, St. John's-CGAK, Ottawa-CGAL. The Canadians appear to
have abandoned their practice of using the CGxx block of callsigns for
Canadian Coast Guard vessels.
U.S. COAST GUARD - The Coast Guard launched the first vessel of a new class
of seagoing buoy tenders June 24. The 225-foot-long USCGC Juniper was
launched at Marinette, Wis., into the Menominee River. The Juniper is
scheduled to go into service in November 1995. The builder, Marinette Marine
Corp. (MMC), has been awarded contracts for two more ships of this class, and
a total of up to five ships may be built by MMC. The Coast Guard will
solicit bids for the remaining fleet, up to eleven additional ships, in 1997.
The second vessel will be named USCGC Willow. These vessels are being built
to replace the Coast Guard's aging fleet of 180-foot seagoing buoy tenders.
U.S. NAVY - A key Senate panel called June 29 for construction of a third
Seawolf-class submarine. The third Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack sub,
like its two predecessors, will be built at the Electric Boat Division of
General Dynamics Corp, Groton, Conn. After that, the Navy will push for
development of a less expensive new attack sub.
The U.S. Navy has established the first new "numbered" fleet in 50 years.
The U.S. Fifth Fleet, covering the waters of the Middle East area,
"stood-up" on July 1. The responsibilities of the Fifth Fleet include
day-to-day operations of naval forces in the area bordered by Egypt in the
west to Pakistan in the east, and from the northern Persian Gulf to Kenya in
the south. Ships assigned to the Fifth Fleet also will sail in the gulfs of
Oman and Aden, the Red Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean.
The USS Samuel Eliot Morison has sailed for America's heartland to
participate in the annual Great Lakes Cruise. The vessel left Ogdensburg,
N.Y. on June 24, and will visit nine Great Lake ports in two months before
returning to its homeport of Mayport, Fla. Here's the schedule of port calls
for the ship: Milwaukee, Wis July 3-10; Muskegon, Mich. July 10-17; Chicago,
Ill. July 17-25; St. Ignace, Mich. July 25-28; Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. July
28-Aug. 3; Windsor, Ont., Canada Aug. 4-8; Cleveland, Ohio Aug. 8-14; Erie,
Penn. Aug 14-20; Oswego, N.Y. Aug 21-27.
Here is a list of ship and aircraft squadron decommissionings recently
announced by the Navy: Ships-Cape Cod (AD-43), Mauna Kea (AE-22), Nitro
(AE-23), Flint (AE-32 - will transfer to Military Sealift Command for
conversion to TAE-32), White Plains (AFS-4), Henry J. Kaiser (TAO-187),

INTERCEPT Military Aircraft Communications Journal
Out of the UK comes a monthly newsletter/journal specializing in all
aspects of military aircraft communication. that rivals some of the
information found in the "big boys". In fact, it includes information not
found elsewhere that I have found. I reviewed two months at random thanks to
David Gregg, publisher. Monthly columns include: Information Required; News
& Updates; Dates for the Diary; Callsigns; Frequencies; On the NAT Tracks;
Pagina 253
WUN-v01
REACH on Global; SSB Logs; Radio Watch; and Chicks in Trail.
Some of these column names are self-explanatory, while others are a
little more 'hidden'! Chicks in Trail for example includes only air-air
refueling logs on UHF. Dates for the Diary includes shows, exhibitions and
scheduled exercises or deployments. On the NAT tracks of course are military
flights logged on the North Atlantic (NAT) HF frequencies. Other sections
include callsigns, frequencies, radio logs. Logs include any frequency
military aircraft can be heard on! HF, VHF and UHF are all accounted for.
If your a die-hard military person, you may want to strongly consider a
subscription. For more information send e-mail to [email protected]
or write: INTERCEPT, 11 Newton Close, South West Denton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
NE15 7QP, UK. Cost is UK 12 pounds and includes twelve issues (Jan-Dec) of
Intercept and postage. Tell Dave you read about it in WUN and a sample copy
will be sent on receipt of an stamped (British mint stamps), self-addressed
envelope.
Next month we have a review of version 1.3 of NSK's PC-Frequencies
software program and news of another ute program for your computers
enjoyment!

2:283/512.24
---------------------Welcome to the 7th edition of 'Numbers & Oddities'. Since last month
the 'Miscellaneous SSB' column from Mike ceased to exist and has merged
with 'N&O'. From now on you can send me also 'normal' stuff that doesn't
fit in any of the other columns.
Channelmarkers
-------------I heard channelmarker 'F' from Gdansk on 4556 kHz. This is most probably
a Polish navy frequency. It is also reported on 7039 kHz but I think that
this is incorrect as I hear very clearly 'C' and 'S' on 7039 kHz. F (..-.)
can easily be mistaken for C (-.-.)
'C' is now also on 16331.85 and 'S' on 16332 kHz. 'R' is DFed and appears
to be in Ustinov (Izhevsk) in the eastern part of European Russia.
Mossad
-----CIO is now also on 8025 kHz. VLB is heard on 3417 // 6270 and FTJ on
4665 kHz.
There seems to be something wrong with the broadcasting equipment that
the Mossad, the Israeli military and government stations are using.
It was first heard in the second week of June and it's still there while
I'm writing this on July 17th.
During that period you could here something that sounds like the ringing
of a telephone and on top of that a sort of clicking sound. When the
telephone sound appears, then you could hear all the Mossad transmissions
that were on the air at that particular moment, all at the same time. On
10125 kHz, this whole thing sounded even weirder as there is a Moscow
station 1 kHz away that produces a constant 'white noise' type of sound
which is some sort of high tech digital mode. Maybe you can imagine how
this sounded when it all blended. The most interesting frequency was
10125 kHz, but also on 8127 kHz something unusual has been heard. This
Mossad frequency carries on USB Israel Defence Forces Radio (Galei Zahal).
It was first thought that this was KOL Israel but it appears to be Galei
Zahal's traffic information service which carries mostly music and id's
as "Kol Ha-Galgalatz" ("Voice of Galgalatz"). News summaries are sometimes carried on the half hour with some news bulletins relayed from Kol
Israel Israel's Network B on the hour. During the Galei Zahal broadcasts
the same situation occur as on 10125 kHz. The same happened to a couple
of RTTY stations who apparently transmit from the same site just like
Galei Zahal. The transmitter site is near Tel Aviv. Maybe this is still
going on when the Newsletter comes out. Try your luck on 10125 kHz.

MI6
--Apart from the well known 'Lincolnshire Poacher' station, MI6 also
operates another, less frequent heard, station. This station uses an
interval signal that sounds like the old folksong 'Cherry Ripe' and
is played on a flute. I heard them recently on 14469 kHz at 13.00 UTC.
They have been noted on 17499 kHz at 12.00 UTC as well and at 13.00 UTC
on 20474 and 23411 kHz. The station is known to Numbers-dxers as 'the
Cherry Picker'

UXW has a fixed sked at 09.10 UTC on 14426 kHz with RLX in Moscow, the
other end of the link is on 13506 kHz. The link id for both stations
is 40034.
8BY / P8K
--------Recently number station '8BY' has been DFed and it appears that it is
operating from France, somewhere near Paris. The user is unknown but
there are rumors that it might be DGSE related. Frequencies: 7668,
10248, 12170, 14931 and 18302 kHz. Another station that is around for
many years is 'P8K' which will be DFed during the next couple of weeks
and I would not be surprised if this one comes from France as well.
The USAF numbers broadcasts, pt1.
--------------------------------They are there for many years; easy to catch and yet completely ignored by
the majority of the dxers. A bit strange when you know that there are many
numbers-dxers who spend years to figure out how the numbers stations work,
who are looking for patterns and try to break the codes. Yet they ignore the
EAMs and Foxtrot messages. Therefore I thought it would be nice to take a
closer look to these messages. We'll kick off with the Foxtrot or 'Skyking'
messages, which all of you probably have heard before. They can be heard on
all GHFS frequencies.
Here's a sample: ''Skyking, Skyking, do not answer. Papa Tango Three. Time
Three Five. Authentication Whiskey November. I say again; Skyking, Skyking,
do not answer. Papa Tango Three. Time Three Five. Authentication Whiskey
November. Croughton out.''
Perhaps the most common question asked by a new military ute monitor is the
question "who is this SKYKING character, and why can't he answer?" These
broadcasts to SKYKING are more commonly known as FOXTROT broadcasts. You can
read about them in Larry Van Horn's Utility World column in the Dec 94
Monitoring Times (which includes a picture of a USAF FOXTROT broadcast pad).
As with the EAMs, they are usually ignored when they are broadcast on the
GHFS. Most of the information below is derived from posts on the Grove BBS.
I thank the participants in the discussions on the BBS, in particular Jeff
Haverlah who wrote the major part of this article.
Pagina 255
WUN-v01
What follows is not 'who' or 'what' these "SKYKING" broadcasts are, but
rather how they seem to manifest themselves on HF, at least from a CONUS (=
CONtinental USa) viewpoint.
The construction of a Foxtrot message is as follows: 'Skyking, Skyking, do
not answer' is the normal callup text for Foxtrot messages. This is followed
by a 'trigraph', 'timestamp' and 'authentication'.
Trigraph
All characters of English alphabet can be used. All numerals from
1 though 9, plus zero are used. There are all alpha-character trigraphs; combinations of alphanumeric trigraphs; and all numeric
trigraphs. The trigraphs NEVER change during a FOXTROT cycle.
Timestamp
Two digits that represent the minutes-unit of time of the broadcast.
The digits will change to reflect the time of broadcast by a specific
station. Sometimes, the stations seem to fudge the timestamp (missing the minute-change.)
Authentication
Conventional Wisdom - the 'alpha''alpha' authentication does not
change during the echo cycle. Common situation now - the 'authentication' does indeed change during the echo process. Yet, there
are still instances where the 'authentication' does not change.
In multiple FOXTROT situations ("more to follow"), the 'authentications' are static across each message (each authentication is
the same for each 3/2 DNA.) If the authentication changes in midrotation, it seems to change for each grouping in the cycle at the
same point.
The Foxtrot messages appear to have the highest precedence of any
transmission on the GHFS. Example of precedence:
> All GHFS traffic will cease for an EAM transmission.
> All GHFS traffic will cease for a FOXTROT transmission.
> All EAM transmissions will immediately terminate for a FOXTROT bcst.
Other presumed FOXTROT broadcasts: 'YELLOWBLOOD' 3/2 DNAs heard on 6788,
11191, 11244 kHz. Presumed USN related; possibly USMC. But not sure. The
station that broadcasts these transmissions never id's itself. The broadcast
is sometimes echoed by at least one other station, again with no id given.
These broadcasts sometimes indicate the use of a schedule. Example: +/- h+53
minutes in late 1994. Transmission pattern: 'YELLOWBLOOD, YELLOWBLOOD. Do not
answer. Break "trigraph timestamp authentication."'
As mentioned above, these broadcasts have apparently been around on the U.S.
HF military frequencies for decades. The transmission patterns and
frequencies changed somewhat in 1992 and since 01 June 1992, they have
manifested themselves on the GHFS as follows: (note: although the following
is the result of many years of monitoring these messages, some of the info
given is 'tentative'. Your comments or adjustments are highly appreciated
-Ary-).
1. This is tentative: Take a world map and draw an arc beginning at
Hawaii; through ELMENDORF; through THULE; through CROUGHTON; and
ending at LAJES. The FOXTROT broadcasts heard from stations inside
the arc seem to be different from those heard at or outside the arc;
and, they do not seem to cross the arc.
A) Within the arc:
-> For at least a few months after the 'change' in June 1992, the
lead GHFS station would 'call' MCCLELLAN and ANDREWS and 'request
you echo the following'; then broadcast the 'trigraph', 'timestamp'
and 'authentication'.
-> Maybe concurrently, or maybe after this brief period of time, the
lead station (usually OFFUTT, but sometimes ANDREWS or MCCLELLAN
following the old USAF SAC universe) would initiate a FOXTROT broadcast with a call to something that still sounds like DECENT (or maybe
DESCENT??) with a 'request you echo the following.' The DECENT call
appears to be a general call to all CONUS (less BAYONNE) and SOUTHCOM
GHFS stations to 'echo' the FOXTROT broadcast. The SOUTHCOM station
being ALBROOK - if it is not a SOUTHCOM activity, at least it is
apparently for coverage of the southern U.S., Gulf of Mexico, CaribPagina 256

bean (Cuba area?), and who knows what else.
Until around March 1995, the echo process seemed to flow from the
lead station (usually OFFUTT) to MCCLELLAN/ANDREWS; to MACDILL;
finally to ALBROOK. Since March 1995, it seems to be catch as catchcan with ANDREWS sometimes coming up as trailing in the rotation.
Since around March 1995, there have been rare (but not uncommon)
FOXTROT broadcasts that use a callsign that sounds like FAIRLY.
These broadcasts also 'request you echo the following'; however,
no echo is ever heard, at least here. A FOXTROT broadcast was heard
recently from YOKOTA (very strong level here in post-sunrise local
time) with a broadcast that seemed to be directed to something that
sounded like FARLY - possibly accented FAIRLY?? Again, no echo heard.
Very recently OFFUTT was heard with a FOXTROT broadcast using the
callsign ENLIST. Again, no echo was heard.
And sometimes OFFUTT and ANDREWS have been heard (during periods of
good propagation) with a single FOXTROT broadcast, with no callsign;
no request for echo; and, no echoing station following their broadcasts.
B) Outside the arc. Because of propagation, the following is also
tentative:
Stations such as HICKAM, THULE, and CROUGHTON can be heard here at
local night with FOXTROT broadcasts that do not seem to originate
with a CONUS station; and which do not seem to be echoed by CONUS
stations. Question: who initiates these ?
These stations at and outside the arc, when they are co-active with
OFFUTT during an OFFUTT DECENT broadcast, seem to ignore (or not
hear) the OFFUTT broadcasts, and do not take part in the FOXTROT
broadcast rotation (if any).
When propagation is good (which is certainly not at this period of
time) YOKOTA has been heard with what appear to be 'initiating'
FOXTROT broadcasts. Are there others ?
C) Apparently the only stations not participating in any FOXTROT
broadcast are BAYONNE, and ASCENSION.
The FOXTROT broadcasts are heard on all GHFS frequencies. Unlike
the EAMs, the FOXTROT broadcasts are not heard on the old/new
GIANT TALK frequencies since 01 June 1992.
Before the SAC 'standdown' these broadcasts were equated with
something called a 'monitoring period.' After the 'standdown'
they are equated with, well, what?? They can happen at any time,
and do.
Next month we'll take a closer look at the EAMs. I'd like to thank
Enigma, Mike Chace, BBC Monitoring Service, Leif Dehio, Jeff Haverlah,
Larry van Horn and all the others who sent me their findings. Keep it
coming ! 'till next month, Ary.

Rick "RD" Baker
Jim Navary <ed.>
Ian Baxter (Lancs., UK) advises that QSLs received during June brings his
total to 123 different US Navy ships verified. Also, Ian recently joined the
ranks of the married WUNners and enjoyed a honeymoon trip to the Dominican
Republic. Congratulations on both milestones Ian (but not necessarily in the
order presented above)!
Tim Dobbins (Florida, USA) asks about recommended publications for finding
utility station addresses for QSLing. Ah....the $64,000 question! For ute
QSL hounds the pursuit of address information is often considerably more of
a challenge than is logging an elusive DX station.
I highly recommend the Worldwide UTE News Newsletter which contains a monthly
column "The QSL Report" for address info. (Sorry, couldn't resist)
But seriously folks ... one of the primary purposes of this column is to
serve as a clearing house on QSL address info. WUNners are respectfully
requested to send any and all information, including either specific
Pagina 259
WUN-v01
addresses or information about good reference materials, to the addresses
(either email or snail-mail) listed in the masthead for this column.
Here are some of the references that I've found useful:
GENERAL REFERENCES:
UTILITY ADDRESS HANDBOOK (2nd edition) by Reinhard Klein-Arendt. I've found
Reinhard's book to be the most comprehensive compilation of ute address
info. Reinhard is a WUN member, although he's currently inactive due to
being on an extended research trip to Africa. Unfortunately, this book is
a bit dated (published in December 1989). However, many of the addresses
listed are still valid.
GUIDE TO UTILITY STATIONS by Joerg Klingenfuss. This is an annual
publication that provides a wealth of information about utility monitoring.
It includes a nice section of address information. While somewhat expensive
for North American residents, due to the unfavorable exchange rate, I have
made good use of the addresses contained therein.
SPECIALIZED REFERENCES:
Airlines: "jp airline-fleets international" (the title is all lower case)
is a massive annual publication that provides complete address information
for the world's airline companies along with detailed information on
individual aircraft in each company's fleet. Essential for aero monitors and
QSL hounds.
Merchant Ships: LLOYD'S MARITIME DIRECTORY is a very expensive but
outstanding reference for maritime monitors. Priced out of the range of most
utes who have not yet won the lottery (US $400+), the best bet is to try to
find a used copy. Easier said than done as even the used ones seem to be
rare as hen's teeth.
An alternative to LLOYD'S is the FAIRPLAY WORLD SHIPPING DIRECTORY. This is
another annual publication, still expensive, but more reasonably priced than
LLOYD'S. In addition to Ships' owners/operators, the Fairplay book also
includes addresses for ship managers, shipbrokers, and numerous other types
of maritime businesses and organizations.
CD-ROM databases: A number of different "phone directories" are now
available on CD-ROM. I use "PhoneDisc USA - Business" published by Digital
Directory Assistance which includes mailing addresses. I use this CD for
"creative" address searches. As a hypothetical example: The M/V Eagle is
logged working a US coastal station, arranging a radio-telephone call to
(303) 373-4765. A quick scan through Lloyd's shows 5 different "Eagle"s and
no callsign is mentioned to narrow the search. Using PhoneDisc I do a simple
search for that phone number and discover a listing for Ivaran Lines, Miami,
Florida, including a complete mailing address. Bingo!
Another CD-ROM I've recently discovered is "United States Waterway Data".
This CD-ROM is a compilation of waterway databases and reports published
by the US Dept. of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
It is available absolutely free of charge! It includes databases of
commercial ships/boats and operators (among other things) including full
address information for companies operating in US navigable waters.
It is available from the DOT/Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 400 7th
Street SW, Room 2104, Washington, DC 20590.
That hazy, ever-expanding cloud of data known as the Internet is proving to
be the best source of information I've found. If you have access to the
World Wide Web (WWW) it's your ticket to seemingly infinite sources of
information. If you don't have access to WWW -- get it! Of course, an
excellent starting place is our very own WUN WWW homepage maintained by Jason
Berri. The wealth of search engines that are available makes "surfing" the
net (is anyone else getting sick of that phrase?) much easier when trying to
home in on specific information. Even better than the on-line data is the
fantastic opportunity for establishing contact with people around the world
who might be in a position to provide the information you are seeking. And
with hundreds of new information sources coming on-line every day of the
Pagina 260
WUN-v01
week the possibilities are mind-boggling.
Membership in WUN has passed the 500 member mark and continues to grow. Why
not take a moment to pass along the sources of information YOU find useful,
either in the hunt for ute QSLs or for general ute monitoring purposes. I'm
looking forward to hearing from you.
=============================================================================
The WUN Logs Column
Howdy ute fans! Not a record, but a nice turnout with 37 contributors
from eight countries this month. A nice variety too. I know the reason a lot
of you are holding back on sending or posting logs is because you felt sorry
for making me sort out all those logs! Well worry no more. Tim Dobbins
answered the help wanted request and will join me next month as co-editor of
this column. Now we can handle twice as many logs...but can your hard drive?
:-) If you send logs direct, continue to send them to me as I'll continue to
handle those. Tim will handle the ones posted on WUN. Take a moment and jot
down a few logs to share! Only 37 contributors from 500 members? I'm sure we
can do better than that! Thanks for your support.
