While this is disappointing to the DX community, there is a silver lining. Station owner Michael Beverly and Chief Engineer George Hudson will be installing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on the transmitter PC later this week and testing it in the coming days. This will enable the transmitter to be switched remotely and provide an opportunity for a ?traditional? DX Test that will begin at midnight in the near future. The later start time will increase the number of DX?ers who may be able to log the station during the test. We will announce a new test date in the near future. WENR normally runs a classic rock and roll format that is simulcast with their 250 watt FM translator, W285CG. They identify the station using the FM branding, 104.9, ?The Mountain.? It transmits during daytime hours on a 1,000 watt signal with good coverage into one of East Tennessee?s mid-sized market of Athens. THANK YOUS George Hudson continues with his incredible generosity towards the hobby. While he was excited to provide a ?Daytime DX Test?, he continued to look for options that would allow for more DX?ers to hear WENR. A special thank you to George for all he?s done for us this season. Also, the station owner Michael Beverly who agreed to the test and has arranged to install the VPN quickly. Phil Bytheway of the International Radio Club of America who started all this rolling by reaching out to George Hudson months ago. In recent weeks, we?ve heard from other members who also have contacts in the broadcast industry and are helping the CPC to arrange future tests. Cannot thank our ?rank & file? members enough. Paul Walker of the CPC also contributed to this situation, with his knowledge of FM translator operations and remote switching. This points out the value of having a true ?committee? again. Each member brings talent and experience that contributes to our overall success. Stay tuned for an announcement soon on the new test date. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf NRC & IRCA Courtesy Program Committee Chairman Member WTFDA, MWC Perseus SDR, Elad FDM-S2 SDR, AirSpy + Discovery, SDRPlay RSP-2 Pro, Sony XDR-F1HD [XDR Guy Modified], Dennon TU-1500RD, Sangean HDT-1X, Ray Dees RDS Decoders, Korner 9.2 Antenna, FM-6 Antenna, Kitz Technologies KT-501 Pre-amps, Quantum Phaser, Wellbrook ALA1530 Loop, Wellbrook Flag, Clifton Labs Active Whip. ?Nothing but blues and Elvis, and somebody else?s favorite song?? ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 18:45:11 +0100 From: "Wolfgang Bueschel" <dg1...@t-online.de> To: "hcdx" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, <w...@groups.io> Subject: Re: [HCDX] [WOR] Mystery Station via E25 Rebeat transmitter, February 23 Message-ID: <95EE11AB626140B192CA7CEB60B0E52F@HNPC1> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="UTF-8"; reply-type=original https://www.numbers-stations.com/ns/english/e25/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Hauser via groups.io" <wghauser=yahoo....@groups.io> Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2021 6:03 PM Subject: Re: [WOR] Mystery Station via E25 Rebeat transmitter, February 23 > ??

Originally used live voices read by males, then used a very unique automated woman. Errors are common in transmissions, from computer tones, to hearing the operators playing a computer game, to the transmission just screwing up in general (no music intro, the transmission cutting out, or just not happening at all). Music is usually from musician Umm Kulthum, but can vary. Needless to say, E25 is in dire need of component, consistent operators (and perhaps a better voice). Emits in AM and/or USB" An Insight into E25 Transmissions by Manolis of Greece: <http://www.signalshed.com/docs/E25report.pdf> (via Roger Thauer-D, A-DX June 1, 2019) and of 2015: "Well I have been following that music station for sometime now ... they are on 9500/9550/9600 kHz varying from 09:00 to 12:00 UT, but can't make a steady schedule. But I think this is the Egyptian station E25 which used to transmit numbers on 9450 kHz around 1200-1300 UT. No ID given, just the normal test tone of Egypt followed by songs varying from classic old Egyptian songs to up to date songs released a few years back in Egypt." (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 15, 2015) UNIDentified station with Arabic music 1030-1040 9400 unknown tx, August 16 1030-1035 9400 unknown tx, August 13 1050-1100 9600 unknown tx, August 13 (Ivo Ivanov-BUL, hcdx via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 18, 2015) and of 2013: EGYPT 11116.008 kHz Arabic singer, like Egyptian music in the 60ties and 70ties under Pres Nasser, 2130-2200 UT March 10, 2013. UNIDentified Arabic program on odd channel. Heard in Perseus net in Nuremberg, northern Germany, on Universitty remote receiver at Twente The Netherlands <http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/> in Kiev and Vienna, also in northern Italy. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 10) However, WRTH shows 774 site is Abis, the other one. So now they would both have to be at the same site, one or the other, for this theory to work. Perhaps there was a recent site change, which would explain why this just now showed up. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld March 11, 2013) Just a thought, 11116 plus 774 is = 11890 kHz. Is there Egyptian broadcast at that time on 11890 kHz from the same site? Could then be tx site mixing product. (Jari Savolainen-FIN, dxld March 11, 2013) Strange though - but puzzle solved: hfcc: 11890 2115-2245 27,28 ABS 200 325 0 211 English EGY ERU 325 degr would fit to cover western Europe, even on very small INTERMODULATION power signal... 11116.008 kHz Arabic singer, like Egyptian music in the 60ties and 70ties under Nasser, 2130-2200 UT March 10. Abis-EGY broadcast 11890 kHz is weak signal S=5-6 in southern Germany tonight, came on air 21.11:00 UT March 11, but left for a short break 21.13:20 UT again. After one minute back on air, but still weak tonight. Intermodulation 11116 kHz came also on air at same time 21.11:00 UT but left also 21.13:20 UT. At start appearance 11116 was much stronger at S=8- 9 level, never any low power INTERMODULATION signal, this was a real 100 kW shortwave broadcast, but lasted for two minutes only ... ! Latter appeared again now, but channel signal is very weak and distorted on threshold level. More like question mark occurred, still a puzzle what happens on the SW antenna matrix or feederline at Abis bcast center site, towards 11890 kHz curtain array. MW Abis also on 774 kHz, former 1000 kW powerhouse, now 500 kW reduced?, 4-mast like BBC / Marconi design of Cyprus / Oman Masirah etc. Abis 774 kHz MW - to shortwave at ABZ would not work, distance already 156 kilometers ... There is any formula for the other 9.4 to 9.448 MHz Enigma E25 outlet? often heard in past 2 decades with same Nasser era like songs of the 60ties/70ties ? Also reported by Rumen in the past ... [later] Thanks Ivo, now at 0020 UT March 12, right another Abis INTERMODULATION outlet, acc formula: 9965 minus 774 kHz = 9191.012 kHz. S=7-8 signal strength here in southern Germany. Stronger signal in Stuttgart Germany than 11116 kHz this night. I guess it was 9990 kHz minus 774 kHz, noted some few years ago ... (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 10/11/12, 2013) 2115-2245 UT on 11890 minus 774 = 11116 kHz 2300-0030 UT on 9965 minus 774 = 9191 kHz (Ivo Ivanov-BUL, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 11, 2013) 11116 March 11 at 2202 UT, nothing audible, altho R. Cairo English is on 11890 kHz, good level fair signal, but modulation distorted. 11116 kHz was a big mystery heard mainly in Europe, and then Tarek Zeidan in Egypt recognized 11116 kHz as "Middle East Radio (MW 774 kHz and FM 89.5 MHz) in Cairo, first time to hear them on SW. The Arabic ID is Idhaat Elsharq Elawsat". Guess what, 11890 minus 774 kHz = 11116 kHz, so it's a mixture between SW and MW transmitters at the Abis site, possible on 11116 kHz only during the 2115-2245 UT English broadcast on 11890 kHz. Wolfgang Bueschel says it's intermittent. The 774 mix would also explain the previous strange frequency from Egypt, 9191 kHz, 774 kHz below 9965 kHz which is on at 2300-0430 UT, so be on the lookout for anything else 774 kHz away from an Abis R. Cairo frequency. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld March 12, 2013) Hello Wolfy, now this is interesting. This is the "Middle East Radio program of \\ MW 774 kHz and FM 89.5 MHz in Cairo, first time to hear them on shortwave. The Arabic ID is "Idhaat Elsharq Elawsat". [later] Great analysis, but the Q remains the same ... why would ERTU brodcast "Middle East Radio" instead of the General Program or Radio Cairo in any language. (Tarek Zeidan-EGY SU1TZ, dxld March 11, 2013) Recording of "Middle East Radio" was made after 22.00 UT news cast, is 0000 LT in EGY, wrth Egypt entry show Abis 774 "Program 5 - Middle East Program" too. Checked also 11890 + 774 kHz = 12664 kHz tonight. - Negative ... (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 11, 2013) ENIGMA sign number broadcast E25 and E11 carried the very same program also in the past decades. (wb.) of April 2008: NUMBER STN. 9450.00 special FOUR number station in English noted on Wed Apr 16th 2008, at 1300 UT. S=8 signal in Germany. "E25 Arab Man station" Egyptian intelligence sce.?? (wb) of May 2007: [not LIBYA, rather EGYPT] Test? on 9450 ended at approx. 0903 UT. Re: 9450 noted today Apr 30 again. I came on the band around 0730 UT and heard Arabic orchestra and singer continously til 08.31:15 UT. Then noted a 1000 Hertz whistle check tone for about 2 minutes, Now since 0833 UT the program continues[til 0903 UT]. re: 9450 seemingly NOT from Libya. Insider sent me a reply, that the UNID Arabic station 9450 which we heard on Apr 29 and 30th at about 0745 to 0903 UT, was really music from Egyptian intelligence service station. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX May 1, 2007) Thanks for the interesting reply! Sometimes there is odd numbers being called just after the music! Check this web site out. <http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/thesecretsiteofmike/num/01/spy01.htm> Looking at E25. (Mike, May 1, 2007) Well that's what we call Number station ... that station (off the record of course) is coming from Egypt, as number stations follower we call it E25, the main transmission for that station with messages is between 12.00 and 13.00 UT normally they start around either 12.00 or 12.15 or 12.30 or 12.45 all the transmissions start with OM Kalthoum the legendary Egyptian singer for like 4 minutes mainly with one of two songs aroouh lemeen ... whom should I go to ... or Inta O'mry ... you are my life. Been following that station for sometime now ... the messages are mainly numbers in English and Arabic sometimes. I used to pick them up worming up around 07.00 UT as well with non stop OM Kalthoum song for like 45 Min or so, so by all means this is ain't Libya this is the voice of the Egyptian secret service ... For better refrences and Audio files as well ... check my friend's blog Manolis from Greece. He's a great follower of that station ... check his blog for E25 records ... you'll be amazed: <http://hfsurfing.blogspot.com> And for more info about that station's history check Simon Masons wonderful website for number stations: <http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page410.htm> I'm sure you'd enjoy reading that site as well ... will brings lot's of memories for you I guess ... specially about Stasi's stations ... in the 80s and early 90s :) <http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page30.html> "From at least 0800z to 1322z E25 was on air playing oriental music. At my QTH, signal strength was constant S9+. Towards the end of this lengthy test (?) session a song was repeated again and again several times ..." hello xxx, as usual Um Kalthoum with a song called HOB AYIH what's Love, she's blaming her lover for causing her so much pain ! one of her classicals as usual. Nice catch my friend. yours xxx 1 May, 2007.
