It appears that V07 is using the same schedule and callup for August, 2017, 
as it did for July, 2017.  Normally V07 changes freqs and times, moving 
forward 2 hours to 0500/0520/0540z in August, but this month it has stayed 
on the 0700/0720/0740z schedule.

For the last two weeks it has been active at 0700z on 13563 kHz, USB, at 
0720z on 12163 kHz, USB, and at 0740z on 10263 kHz, USB, on its regular 
Sunday morning.

Re: [Spooks] Arecibo Observatory ionospheric heating signal or XMWhales?

I agree the signal in question is not Arecibo, and is XM.  However Arecibo 
DID transmit in AM during the last round of tests.  Not only did they have 
audio tones, fixed, stepping, and sweeping, but they also transmitted (and 
announced on Twitter they would be) SSTV as their last signals at 0815z and 
0818z on July 31.  And rumor has it, but no one at Arecibo will confirm, 
they transmitted other audio, including Brother Stair and WWV.

I am guessing that is the "whales" station. Regarding the Arecibo
experiments, "To the best of my knowledge, all experiments will be CW
with no amplitude or frequency modulation." So you'd just hear a
carrier with typical propagation QSB. Also, the end of the recent
experiments was supposed to be July 31, as nothed bu others.

If it was 1937 Pacific time on Feb 20, 2017 (0237 UTC, Feb 21, 2017) I don't 
think it could be HAARP alternating on 2800 and 3300 kHz.  At that time 
HAARP was on 4440 kHz in O mode, twisted beam, possibly with a probe on 9500 
kHz.  While it is possible HAARP can be on multiple frequencies at once 
(such as the 9500 kHz probe while on 4440 kHz, or the later Luxembourg test 
on 2800 and 3300 kHz simultaneous) they do not appear to have been on 2800 
or 3300 kHz at that time, I have spectrum recordings covering those freqs 
for that time period and there is nothing there, and the real time updates 
on Twitter did not mention any transmissions on those freqs at that time. 
22 minutes later when 2800 / 3300 kHz operation did start they were strong 
on my recordings.

The first alternating 2800 / 3300 kHz operation on my recordings (or 
announced) after 1933 Pacific (0233 UTC) was at 1959 Pacific (0259 UTC) and 
lasted less than 2 minutes total (two short transmissions of less than 20 
seconds each on each freq), off to another frequency (2750 kHz) before 0302 
UTC.

: It is possible, maybe, that you heard someone trying to spoof HAARP.

Email has a time of 1933h, I want to say I tuned to 2800 and 3300 KHz around
1937h.

Carriers did not appear to be on both frequencies simultaneously and could
be spoofed, but I suspected HAARP due to the stability, incredibly precise
with no varying in strength, rock solid and strong, typical of their
signals.

Could have also been a very stable transmitter with problems relatively
close.

Next time, I hope to be better prepared and get captures and recordings.

I don't think so.  The site was funded by Air Force and Navy funding.  The 
Navy was always involved in some way.  However I am pretty sure it was the 
Air Force that was in charge of day-to-day operations at the time it was 
deactivated.  The Air Force for sure ran the show into 2015, and was the DOD 
agency directing the disassembly before it was decided to halt it.

HAARP was partially disassembled when the Air Force deactivated it. 
Particularly the transmitter tubes were removed.  However now University of 
Alaska, Fairbanks, has been given use of the facility.  They spent the last 
year or so putting things back together.  The last I heard, just before this 
series of tests started, they had a bit over half the transmitter working. 
So they may not be up to their full 3.6 MW power level, but they were able 
to use 2 MW during the recent test series.

Now it is available for use to people scheduling the research and willing to 
pay the bill for operation, which, I have been told, is a bit over $5000 per 
hour.

That might explain it then.  You might have been receiving something else, 
there were several other transmitters on the air at various times trying to 
pass themselves off as HAARP, including one on 2800 that sent, in CW "V V V 
V V V DE HAARP" several times.  Or it is possible you heard them, HAARP, 
during transmitter testing.

Why do I say you might have heard something else or heard transmitter 
testing?

All times rounded to the nearest minute.

1933 Pacific time,  on 20 Feb, 2017, would be 0233 UTC, 21 February, 2017. 
At that time HAARP was on 4440 kHz in O mode twisted beam with CW.  It 
remained on that frequency until 0259 UTC, at which time it went to about 2 
minutes of transmitter testing, alternating between 2800 and 3300, changing 
modes, and making transmitter adjustments or measurements, there were two 
short transmissions on each freq during this time, under 20 seconds each. 
At 0302 UTC they went to 2750 kHz.  At 0303 UTC they started the Luxembourg 
test, they stayed in that mode and transmitting on both 2800 and 3300 
simultaneously until about 0343 UTC.  From about 0344 until about 0434 UTC 
they were doing the artificial aurora testing, and that involved sequenced 
transmissions on 2800, 2820, and 2840 kHz, the 3300 kHz freq was not 
involved.

So, if the email was sent at 1933 Pacific time, and you turned on at that 
time, or within the next 27 minutes, HAARP was not on 2800 or 3300 kHz, but 
rather on 4440 kHz.  If you tuned in during this time, and based on your 
frequencies, you could not have been hearing HAARP.

>From about 0259 UTC until about 0301 UTC HAARP made two short transmissions 
each, alternating, on 2800 and 3300 kHz, not more than 40 seconds total on 
each freq.  This apparently was transmitter testing.  This is a candidate 
for your description, however in my recordings I hear no noise as you 
describe, so I don't think this is the time you are discussing.

0302 until 0303 HAARP was on other frequencies, not 2800 or 3300 kHz.

And at 0303 UTC they started the Luxembourg test, simultaneous transmissions 
on 2800 and 3300 kHz, no alternating between freqs as you describe.

I think you said you did about 10 minutes of listening and hearing the 
alternating between 2800 and 3300 kHz.  There was no time that night that 
HAARP was alternating between those freqs for that length of time, they only 
alternated between those two freqs for slightly less than 2 minutes.

It is possible, maybe, that you heard someone trying to spoof HAARP.

That is really odd.  I have hours and hours of recordings of HAARP over the 
last week of operations including every minute of the Luxembourg testing, on 
both 2800 and 3300 kHz.  I never saw that kind of thing.

2800 was also used during other testing, outside the Luxembourg experiment. 
And then they did do some different things with the carrier, but other than 
some 120 Hz hum (probably actually 60 Hz), I never really saw the carrier 
widen out.

I'll re-run some of the segments and see if I can detect anything like that, 
but I did not catch it first time around, and I was looking pretty close.

Listening and watching it in Argo on 2800 KHz, at random times ranging from
fractions of a second to a few seconds apart, hissing and popping on their
carrier both seen and heard with simultaneous white noise and near
instantaneous spreading of the carrier of several KHz as though there was
some major arcing within their equipment.  I would compare it to the what
you see and hear in a broadcast transmitter, telephone circuit or badly
butchered homebrew radio when experiencing issues with dirt, debris, water,
bugs, et cetera.

Having been using my equipment before, during and after observing this, it
was unique to the HAARP signal only.

Regretfully, I did not get an audio recording or a screen capture of the
issue.

On 20 and 21 February about 40 minutes of the transmission was attempting to 
induce and observe the Luxembourg effect.  On 22 Feb no Luxembourg test was 
transmitted.  On 23 Feb about 20 minutes of transmission was dedicated to 
the Luxembourg effect.  Outside those time slots the transmissions were 
doing other things, and no music or frequency specific audio was 
transmitted.

Here is a video of my reception of the second set (of two sets that night) 
sent on the 23rd of February.  This is in the O mode, the first set was in 
the X mode and over 10 dB weaker.  Each set was about 9 minutes and 30

I know they have actually been transmitting music as a part of their
experiments recently (Luxembourg Effect). Perhaps what was being heard was
an ionospheric distortion that is due to the Luxembourg Effect?

I haven't heard them; I have been without an HF antenna since I moved to a
new home over a year ago. My yard is full of trees and criss-crossing wires
and I still haven't figured out how to put up an antenna.

Can you explain what you mean by "Horrible filthy gliychy signal, worse than 
many butchered CB radios I've
seen over the decades"?

I monitored and recorded the transmissions each night it was active and 
noticed no unintentional glitches or saw a dirty signal in any way, so I am 
wondering what you mean.  True, particularly on the night of the 22nd, the 
signal was sometimes not strong, but that was conditions, not a factor of 
the transmitter.

For me, and for most recordings I have seen, the X mode was the weaker of 
the 2, with the O mode consistently producing signal levels at least 10 dB 
higher.

It depends on which experiment they are doing.

They have sent an uninterrupted carrier on 4440 kHz.
Example here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=414idhqxieg


For the pre-Luxembourg testing they were using 2800 and 3350 kHz one at a
time.  These transmissions consisted of a 4 second burst of pulses every 30
seconds.
Examples here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv0g7HmVeM0=1s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTP47MePqDI=3s


During the Luxembourg test they used 2800 and 3300 kHz simultaneously in 9
minute and 30 second sets, every 10 minutes.
Example here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JTca3ZZOow=1s




During the Artificial Aurora test they were using 2800, 2820, and 2840 kHz
transmitted sequentially.  This was 90 seconds of transmit, 30 seconds of
off air, then cycle to the next frequency.
Example here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ws1RJ7QHus=6s



Tonight (as of 0130 UTC Feb 22 2017) they have been on 2750 to 2850 in 10
kHz steps.

Your description is not specific enough, there are many signals that can 
sound like that, from digital modems to radars.  At least a frequency and 
mode you used should be included in any such report, however since many 
radars move around in frequency that might be of limited help.


At a guess I would first look at the PLUTO II British radar or the Russian 
29B6 radar, they both can sound very much like propeller driven aircraft to 
some people.

Yes, while it is tempting to say hide it in plain site, or in something 
innocuous that thousands of people view, once the cat is out of the bag and 
the fact that data is contained is known by an investigating agency, then 
the potential exist for them to know everyone who viewed the 
video/page/file.  Once that is done the potential pool of suspects becomes 
much smaller and manageable.


Looking at the number of views for each one of those videos reveals some 
pretty small numbers.  Sure, the latest ones have thousands, after that 
story hit and the suggestion something mysterious was up.  But the early 
ones often have less than 10 views each.  If it is a message it would not be 
hard for an intelligence agency to find common viewers to narrow prospects, 
or even investigate all of the viewers, with that low number.


You can't do that with a short wave over the air numbers station.  Unless 
you already have a pretty good idea of the location or identity of the asset 
in the field you are not going to narrow down the potential suspects 
appreciably.

Why do you suspect an emergency transmission?  Since it was on schedule 
and with the regular format I am failing to see anything unique about the 
transmission.


Why do you say may be a live transmission?  While I do not really follow 
HM01 all that closely I did happen to catch several minutes of the 0500 and 
0600 transmissions.  Both were S9 or better here.  I heard nothing in the 
voice or data that would indicate to me it was any different from normal, if 
there had been I would have certainly grabbed a recording and uploaded it. 
It was the same voice, with the same cadence, and same timing, as normal. 
If this was a live transmission they got the same YL to do it who recorded 
their original number sound files so many years ago.


Re the one-time V02a earlier this year, I have seen the logging of it, and 
heard about it from several people...does anyone have a recording, or even a 
transcription, of the transmission?  Since V02a seems to be retired I would 
suspect there might be (just maybe) a misinterpretation of the signal 
without more detail than just V02a transmitted.  Note that I am not saying 
anyone is lying or anything, or even wrong, I am only looking for more 
detail.  Lacking a recording or transcription there is a possibility that 
there was an error in reporting, it would not be the first time.  A couple 
of possibilities that come to mind (that either a recording or transcription 
would clear up):  Several times I have heard HM01 stuck in the voice loop 
and repeating number group after number group, sounding like V02a and even 
miss-identified as V02a on chats and forums, but if someone is actually 
transcribing the number groups it soon becomes clear that it is not V02a. 
There has been a suggestion in the past that the same machine generates both 
M08a CW and the V02a / HM01 voice.  There is some indication that M08a is 
still active, although at a greatly reduced level.  Could this one-time 
event have been an incorrect selection from the operator, an intended M08a 
that ended up being sent I the V02a voice?

This may be a live transmission from “The Cuban Lady”, so let’s put on our 
thinking caps about this one. After two days of inactivity (numbers not 
changing from 01/15 through 01/16), our “favorite” numbers station pulled 
out something somewhat unexpected: an entirely new bunch of numbers (and, 
presumably, data files as well) earlier today – January 17, 2014. As 
(barely) heard on 5855 kHz @ 05 UT, but confirmed (with much clearer 
signals) on both 11435 kHz @ 06 UT and 9330 kHz @ 07 UT, those new numbers 
are:


81817 // 14855 // 81785 // 82461 // 65525 // 61073

It’s time to pull out those “one-time pads” (which may have been the 
purpose of the ‘one-time’ V02 transmission earlier this year which put out 
a whole bunch of numbers all at once) and try to figure out what they’re 
saying this time….


Until the “secret” is revealed, this is your intrepid reporter…

[QUOTE shawn fahrer]
Does propagation change THAT MUCH in 24 hours to have a signal go from S9 to 
virtually zero in your part of the world from one day to the next (assuming 
no change at the transmitting end)?

[QUOTE shawn fahrer]


Yes, absolutely that is possible, in fact not at all uncommon, particularly 
when the receive system is a portable with a small antenna.  I have seen 
propagation change in minutes so that a 20 over S9 signal becomes unreadable 
even on a full sized resonant antenna.  What worked today at a given time 
and frequency will probably work tomorrow at the same time and frequency, 
but it is far from a sure thing.



[QUOTE shawn fahrer]
Why I believed it to be very special was that this transmission was made 
during a period of nearly two weeks from December 31, 2013 - at least 
January 8, 2014 (if not later), when none of the number groups were 
otherwise changed (both prior to this V02 transmission AND AFTER it), 
Since it came so early in the new year, I assumed that it was a preview of 
the numbers to come for the next few months or so (especially if there were 
150 of them to choose from).

[QUOTE shawn fahrer]


As for this one-time V02a being a possible preview of future numbers I find 
this very unlikely.  Remember V02a used the 150 group format long before 
HM01 existed, there is little or no reason to suspect they would return to 
it to send callup numbers for HM01.  If they wanted to send such a list of 
numbers it would be far easier to send it as one of the data files in a 
regular HM01 transmission.  And since the data files appear encrypted this 
would not transmit the numbers to the rest of the world.


Also, there is no indication V02a ever did such a thing during V02a 
operations, why would it start now?  If they did do such a thing (unlikely 
to me) I would suspect an entirely new format that fit the information 
structure they needed to send.  If it was not the same kind of data as in 
V02a, why limit themselves to the V02a format?

Regarding the possible V02 (a) transmission: I got many more numbers than 
six on a transmission on a frequency of 13435 kHz @ 07 UT on 01/04/2014. 
Alas, I couldn't write fast enough to keep up with the voice; but some of 
the numbers I did get were: 53037 // 60052 // 10730 // 21366 // 77061 // 
04810 // 66206 // 31226 // 04162 // 78441 // 28778 // 11830 // 74674 // 
71733 // 64355 // 07278 // 88480, etc., etc., etc. At the time I suspected 
it was a V02(a) transmission simply because a) it was NOT in the HM01 
format (6 numbers, data files, etc.) and b) I read about such a thing 
while researching Cuban Numbers Stations as part of my ongoing reporting 
about said subject-- 150 different number groups, no data tones,etc.


If that was actually an M08 transmission in the voice format, you could 
have fooled me -- I wasn't aware that such an error could be made, even 
by the apparently error-prone Cubans, who've done some unusual things in 
my approximately six weeks of intensive recording of what ever numbers, 
patterns, etc. came my way.  Why I believed it to be very special was that 
this transmission was made during a period of nearly two weeks from 
December 31, 2013 - at least January 8, 2014 (if not later), when none of 
the number groups were otherwise changed (both prior to this V02 
transmission AND AFTER it), Since it came so early in the new year, I 
assumed that it was a preview of the numbers to come for the next few 
months or so (especially if there were 150 of them to choose from).


As to yesterday's (05 -  07 UT + on January 17) transmission, the term 
live refers to it potentially not being a dummy transmission 
(especially since for the two previous days, the transmission was 
unchanged) -- not that the voice itself was live. I know better than to 
assume that the voice is human -- I've seen the videos with the number 
generating machine (in Spanish and German). In other words, I was saying 
that if you are are a spy (or a counter-spy) looking for an encoded 
message, the numbers transmitted would be the place to start attempting to 
decode said message, as opposed to the numbers from the two transmissions 
before, since this transmission is apparently active (perhaps a better 
choice of words).


I hope this clears the air on my comments

Zack,

You will find that the most active reporting of the pirate beacons is 
probably on hfunderground.com


Yes, the TMP beacon is still up, as is the W.  A few others in the 4096/4097 
region are also still up, although several are starting to have issues.  The 
owner of several of the better known ones has stated he intends to let them 
die.

Hi,

I'm curious if anyone has been monitoring the Mystery CW Beacons in the
southwest desert area of the USA. Which ones have been heard recently?
Which ones seem to be inactive?

I thought I heard a couple blips from the Temperature beacon on 4079.60 
the

other night but I wasn't sure.

10430 kHz c/f is a regular 75 bd, 850 Hz shift, FSK.  STANAG 4481 FSK. 
Without a recording my guess is you are hearing that and periodically 
another transmission with the voice in it on the same freq or near freq.

Since the HM01 voice and V02a voice are the same (as is probably the V07 
voice, for that matter), and it is normal during HM01 for a single number 
group to be sent between data groups, I was not sure why he was 
differentiating the V02a voice part.  I was wondering if, other than the 
pause he indicated, there had been other oddities in format that might be 
indicative of V02a instead of HM01.


He has since indicated that he refers to the voice itself as V02a number 
lady from habit, and that is understandable.


By the way Chris, what frequency was this on?

I did not mean to imply the transmission was following the V02a format, 
just that the V02a number lady - as I used to refer to her - started 
into her thing then stopped.


I'm not sure if that's normal or an anomaly.

Hamsphere is a ham radio simulator, not real radio at all.  You are hearing 
old recordings of LP played on Hamsphere.  I repeat, Hamspherre is not a 
real radio app, there are no signals being received.  It is kind of like 
VOIP but with static and propagation simulation.


The Lincolnshire Poacher has not returned to the air.

Yes, two way contacts are part of Hamsphere, you can talk to anyone you hear 
on it.  Part of the Hamsphere server runs old recordings of numbers stations 
repeatedly.  If you pay attention you can almost always find a numbers 
station running on one or more bands in Hamsphere.


There is no could about it.  If you are on Hamshpere it is a recording of 
an old LP transmission.  I repeat, Hamsphere is not a real radio.  There are 
no real radios attached to Hamsphere.  There are no antennas that are part 
of Hamshpere.


However, of interest, right after you posted this Lincolnshire Poacher did 
come up on 7524 kHz.  I assume someone saw these posts and spoofed an old 
transmission recording.  Don't they know they are supposed to do that on 
Pirate frequencies?  Like 6300 or 6925 kHz?  ;-)

The explanation has been given.  He was reporting a numbers station heard on 
Hamsphere.  Not a real transmission, but a recording that is played on the 
ham radio simulation of Hamshpere.  No  actual radio transmitters, 
receivers, or antennas, are actually part of the Hamsphere simulation.


To answer your question, it is the real thing in that it is a real 
recording of LP, however it is a recording made years ago, not a new signal 
actually transmitted over air today.  You can hear it almost non-stop on one 
frequency or another on Hamsphere.

The Chinese Robot (VC01) uses no set frequencies and changes (changed?) 
frequency regularly.  Typically it could be found anyplace from 3000 to 
11000 kHz, with occasional excursions above that.


Ary, that last entry I have in my log for VC01 was on May 8, 2013, on 4320 
kHz, USB.  I have looked specifically for it several times since then, and 
no joy.  Normally when I go looking for it I can easily find it in a day or 
two.


I suspect it is gone, or at least temporarily inactive.

As Chris said, a ditter is a short burst of CW, making a dit sound, or a 
short beep if you are in CW or SSB mode to listen.  Similar signals with 
longer beeps are sometimes called dashers.


This particular network has been up a few times, similar networks, possibly 
even the same network using different dit length or combinations.  Other 
networks of ditters and lone frequency versions have been seen.

Hello, I am very new to the search and monitoring of numbers station and 
of course new to this list.  I am presently stationed in Japan and I have 
been listening from here with a humble set up to get started with :


Current Location: Yokosuka, Japan
Grid: 35.14.1N 139.40.5E
Receiver: SONY ICF-SW7600GR Portable
Antenna: Kaito KA-35 Active indoor

On Saturday 16 Feb 2013 at 10:37 UTC I was checking frequencies which had 
been reported recieving Numbers Station transmitions on the Spy Numbers 
Data Base by TI in Japan on 5/3/2011.  During my search of Frequency 6445 
Khz USB I noted a signal which I could not identify.  I could also recieve 
the same signal on 4219 and 6217 Khz but weaker.  I am attaching a sound 
byte.  Could anyone please tell me what this  might be?


Thanks, Chris

Hugh,

Are you sure it was V02a at the beginning?  Since HM01 starts its message by 
sending 6 groups of five numbers repeatedly, for several minutes, it can 
sound like the beginning of V02a.  In other words, HM01 starts by sounding 
similar to V02a until the first time the digital is sent, and then it falls 
into its 5fg / digital / 5fg /digital / etc format.


The parallel frequency transmission of that HM01 (same time, different freq) 
on 17480 was normal HM01, however the transmitter set new standards of a bad 
signal and low audio, even by Cuban standards.  It was over 400 kHz wide 
here, with spurs and harmonics of those spurs every 14.2 kHz on both sides. 
Picture of the wide signal here:

http://www.pbase.com/token/image/148081539/original.jpg

From there the station moved on to 17540 kHz with another HM01 transmission, 

and the same wide ugly transmitter.

The 4 MHz beacons are, for the most part, still there.  In the past few 
weeks in the 4 MHz area I have heard:


4079.6 kHz, TMP temperature beacon
4086.7 kHz, dasher, no name, 1.7 sec dash each 6.9 sec
4094.5 kHz, X beacon
4096.3 kHz, Hexie beacon
4097.2 kHz, Inyo Whooper or Chips beacon (the 2nd harmonic of this is 
fun to chase)

4102.3 kHz, W Windy beacon

Another beacon around 4096.2 is making occasional appearances.  It is 
sending RHM or GVW from time to time, along with what might be 
telemetry.  But, this one has been so sporadic I think someone is still 
playing with it, trying to get it working maybe.


Coxie on 4095.9 and Kelsie on 4096.6 I have not seen for a while, I heard 
they had failures and have not been repaired yet.  The 4089.25 dasher 
appears to be gone and has been for a while.  CO was not on 3449 kHz (CO 
was 11002.7 kHz), 3449.8 kHz was the OK beacon and it appears to be gone, 
I heard it was busted by the FCC but that is only rumor, have not seen 
anything to prove that.


Multiple beacons are up in the 5, 6, 8, and 11 MHz range.  3 new ones have 
been seen in the 2 MHz range (2008.4, 2018.3, and 2025.2 kHz), in addition 
to the A on 2097 kHz.

I don't think so. A CW net would be sending CW. All I heard was a few
single dashes. Two of them were maybe a second apart and then the next
one was 15 minutes later. Otherwise that frequency was quiet on that
night.

I have not been able to hear the usual mystery dashers at all this
season so far. I can hear the L station well on 6668 kHz. but none
of the dashers around 4080 kHz - I haven't heard the temperature
beacon, Kelsie, Hexie, etc. The CO beacon on 3449 kHz seems to be
gone now, too.

When I put up a new 80 meter dipole a few months ago, I thought it
might improve my reception of these beacons and dashers, too. But a
new antenna does not improve propagation! I also had the chance to
tune around for these during a lull in operating a ham radio contest
superstation about 100 miles from home a month ago. I was using a
foursquare antenna. I heard nothing then, either.

In which case there is almost no such thing as a secret in the real World. 
When is a secret not a secret?  When one person not intended knows it?  10 
people?  10,000 people?

This group is a small splinter faction of the SWL hobby community.  We chase 
unusual and out of the main stream signals, sometimes military or shadowy in 
nature.  Without a doubt within our  collective logbooks and memories are 
things other people consider secret, both as a classification and as a 
concept.  Of course, a well maintained secret could be in our logs and we 
would never know it was a secret.

 Just don't give him information that could threaten national security and
 move on...

 If we have the information, it's not a secret.

 Kurt



Kurt,

This is not correct, for sure not in the legal sense.  Publication or public 
knowledge does not denote declassification.  Example, if a person with a 
security clearance has a classified document that says XYZZY is the magic 
word and someone publishes in Aviation Leak and Spy Technology XYZZY is 
the magic word, the person with authorized access still has to treat the 
information as classified, it is still officially classified.  He / she can 
not confirm the information to anyone who does not have the proper level of 
clearance and the proper need to know, even though it might have been 
splashed on page one, above the fold, of a major newspaper.  And depending 
on how Aviation Leak and Spy Technology acquired the information they may 
face prosecution for distributing it.

If people who are not authorized to access a piece of classified information 
have knowledge of the information the information still may be classified. 
Often a leakage of classified information can be quantified, and the spread 
of that leak reduced or eliminated.

Another example, and one that is real World.  I rather strongly suspect that 
the military list certain frequencies and their usage as Classified.  I 
mean, any official list you see that specific frequency and usage included 
on may carry some kind of classification, even if only For Official Use 
Only.  We, as listeners, might hear the traffic and correctly deduce the 
usage / net / application of the communications.  We now have legal access 
to classified, but unconfirmed, information.  It can still be secret and 
known by others, this is, from a security consideration, an undesirable 
state, but not an impossible one.

This raises some interesting questions.  If you have what you suspect to be 
classified information are you in violation of any codes by distributing it? 
For sure this is going to vary from country to country.  In some places yes 
and others no.  I suspect that in the US as long as you do not know, for a 
fact, that the information is classified you are probably good to go.  If 
you do suspect, or know, then it is a lot more questionable.

T!

 I do think that these may possibly be fakes. The SK01 transmissions left 
 the little burst of FSK that DIGTRX uses. It sounds like someone just 
 button-mashed the tuning frequency generator button (the tones that are 
 before SK01 data) and clicked transmit. However, I did notice the 
 characteristic low modulation. As for V2a, I'm unsure about it for now. 
 The callups seem right (ends in 1 or 2), but the lack of Atencion is 
 peculiar. I may or may not recall hearing a V2a at 5883 with callups at 
 the end of the transmission -- and no Atencion, and same format. I need 
 to look around the band for those stations and check for consistency.

 Pedro seems to either be sleeping on the job, or the Cuban stations are 
 changing schedule for the solar cycle (if it matters to them).

The source is certainly not in California, and not even in the United 
States, so Title 18 need not apply ;)

However, this is also a computer generated voice, so sex probably is a moot 
point.  It might, or might not, be synthesized.

The female voice in question has tonal characteristics most commonly 
associated with a female human voice, while the male version is deeper 
and has tonal characteristics most commonly associated with a male human 
voice.

Yes, this was V07.  But the time is wrong.  0100 was 18368 kHz, USB.  0120 
was 16268 kHz USB.  0140 was 13968 kHz USB.

This was the first day of using the new frequencies, if they follow their 
past habits these frequencies and times should be in use for the next 2 
months.  After that they should shift frequency and times each month for the 
next 6 months.

I was thinking the same thing, I have never seen a V13 at XX30.  And the 
0900 matches a known slot for V26 also, although I was not listening to make 
sure that it has been active in that slot for the last few days.  I will 
record both tonight and for the next few nights to make sure though.

Both of those time slots, about 0900 and about 1330, are known V26 slots and 
frequencies.  V26 is variable on time though, plus or minus quite a bit.  I 
would say it is very possible, even probable, that an error has been made 
and V13 was reported but V26 was what was heard.

I did just look at the list and Aoki does indeed say random Chinese 
numbers for 7553.  Odd, it does not list the parallel V26 frequencies of 
4283 or 9153 kHz.

Re: [Spooks] Alphanumeric Station

There is no Enigma ID for this transmission because it is not a numbers 
station.

This is an encoded transmission in the US military HF-GCS (High Frequency - 
Global Communications System, primarily an Air Force system but also used by 
other branches of the mil).  These transmissions happen regularly and range 
from just a few characters to over 250.  Although these are often called 
EAMs (Emergency Action Messages) there are many types of messages actually 
sent on these frequencies.

Primary frequencies used would be 4724, 6739, 8992, 11175, 13200, and 15016 
kHz, all in USB mode.  Other frequencies can be used.

You will likely notice an echo on the signal on any or all frequencies. 
This is mostly caused by multiple transmitters sending the same message, but 
network lag causing each to send at a slightly different time.  However, 
there is a bit of propagation delay to your location for each specific 
transmitter, so this is also influencing the echo affect.

Examples of traffic on these frequencies here:

Re: [Spooks] Chinese Robot

VC01, the Chinese Robot, has been making the shift from 7744 LSB to 7684 LSB 
about 1100 UTC, plus or minus a few minutes, for the last few days.

The 7 MHz frequency and the 4 MHz frequency do not appear to be the same 
data, they appear to be separate transmissions.

Also, I have been noting for the last few months that at least the 4 MHz 
transmission, and sometimes the 7 MHz, appears to shift transmitters ever 5 
to 7 minutes.  It is reasonably noticeable on the 4 MHz signal because the 
signal takes a slight drop in power when this happens, and there is a slight 
shift in frequency at the same time.  It seems like maybe 2 transmitters are 
involved and it shifts back and forth between them.  Naturally, I am not 
sure that is what is happening, but I do think it is a very strong 
possiblity.

Note the new time slots for V24.  In the past three weeks new time slots of 
1000, 1100, 1120, 1140, and 1220 have all been heard.  Prior to this V24 had 
never been seen before 1200 UTC that I know of.

The new time slots before 1200 raise the likely hood of people in the 
eastern parts of the USA of hearing this station, but will not help European 
listeners in the least.  No new times past 1630 have yet been noted, however 
at this time of year my propagation is very poor to the region from 1500 on. 
If new time slots do exist after 1630 this would greatly help European 
listeners.

I first ran into this station about a month ago.  No idea what it is but it 
is there quite often.  I have never heard it direct in the western US, only 
with remote radios in Europe.

 Hello group!

 I just scrolled around the shortwave-bands and found a signal I never
 heared before.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-4cNApiIgs

 The recording was made on 6208 kHz in the lower sideband.
 Does anyone have an idea what this could be and where it comes from?

[Spooks] Possible pre-S28/Buzzer message on different freq

Howdy all,

I am not one for following the S28/Buzzer much, but today I noted something
that might be interesting.

Several times today the S28/Buzzer had voice messages.  One of them was at
1430 UTC.  About 1425 UTC I caught a message on another frequency in a very
similar voice and format.  Different message, different ID, naturally
different frequency, but very similar format.

02/21/2011, 1425 UTC, 6409 USB, complete message sent twice.  I did not get
a complete recording of the first half, but I did of the second.

Re: [Spooks] Korean Traffic

South Korean V24 and M94 traffic has had a very slight change in habits 
recently.

The average message length has increased in the last week, not beyond the 
maximum that has been seen in the past but still longer on average.

V24 has added a couple of new time slots and rearranged a couple of the old 
ones.  For example in the last week or so there have been more 1630 slots 
than normal, but this could just be caused by errors in early slots.  I can 
not prove but do believe that the 1630 slot is sometimes used to catch up 
or to correct for earlier errors in addition to hosting its regularly 
scheduled traffic.

Other than this I have seen no changes to Korean or Chinese numbers traffic.

Re: [Spooks] Numbers c15MHz, 17:00Z, 10 Nov 2010 ???

Are you familiar with the Global High Frequency System?  Although those 
transmissions are in English they can have a pronounced echo making them 
difficult to understand, particularly if you are tuned off frequency 
slightly.  I bring this system up as a possible solution for several 
reasons.

The GHFS system is often mistaken for a numbers station by listeners who 
have not heard it before.  It does, after all, send a numbers encoded 
message, but is not generally considered to be included in the description 
numbers station.

The GHFS system has two active frequencies between 15000 and 15200 kHz 
(15016 and 15038 kHz).

The GHFS sends messages at scattered time throughout the day, however the 
two most likely times to hear a message from them is at the top of the hour 
and the bottom of the hour.

There are not any active and reported numbers stations in the 15000 - 15200 
kHz region.  Of course that does not mean much by itself, there are many 
numbers transmissions that go unreported.  But the majority of reported 
activity in that frequency range was from English language numbers station 
E22, and the last reported activity for that station was in 2006.  English 
numbers station E10 was reported in that range occasionally in 2000 and 
before.

I have two YouTube examples of messages that might be heard during a GHFS 
transmission, there are variations however.

 I picked up the tail end of a broadcast at 17:30Z today, Wednesday, 10 
 November 2010.
 I heard about six numbers, in the cadence and tone of most numbers 
 broadcasts, but in a language I didn't understand.  The signal strength 
 was good, the voice husky, but it ended abruptly as I tried to adjust my 
 receiver.  The frequency was just above 15MHz, probably around 15.2MHz. 
 I'm used to hearing the Cuban lady, but this was not her.

 The time was 12:30 p.m. here at Duke University in North Carolina.  I was 
 attempting to find a spot on campus outside, with power, during the time 
 in which I teach, so my students could hear a message first hand.

 Did anyone happen to confirm or log this broadcast?

 Thanks, Nick

Re: [Spooks] SK01, WYFR, and a sine wave

2010-10-03 Thread Token
Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this

When two AM carriers fall within the passband of your receiver the carriers 
will mix (heterodyne), causing an audio tone equal to the difference in 
carrier frequencies (in this case 3 kHz, the difference between 5950 and 
5947 kHz).  The power relationship of the two carriers also plays into the 
picture.  If your tuning and filter combination can not put one of the 
carriers outside the passband this is unavoidable and why notch filters 
exist.

Why you are just now hearing this instead of having been hearing it all 
along is a bit more iffy to answer.  If your filters and tuning combination 
normally puts one of the carriers outside the passband you might only hear 
the audio from the off freq station mixed with the audio of the station 
you are tuned to, and not hear the mixing of the two carriers.  If, for some 
reason, you are now tuning so that both carriers are inside the passband, or 
the filter width has been increased, so that both carriers are inside the 
passband, that might explain why you are now hearing it for the first time.

Without this phenomenon the BFO would not be possible.

This problem used to be employed to the radio operators advantage.  Before 
digital readouts or high precision mechanical frequency readouts you could 
inject a known frequency against your unknown (due to dial error) one, and 
either zero beat the known freq or determine the offset of the known to the 
unknown.  Either approach resulted in confirming the frequency of the 
unknown signal.

The BC-221 and LM series were developed to take advantage of heterodyning 
signals.  http://home.mchsi.com/~token/BC221.htm

 5947   SK01 Sat   10022010 0900   AM


 [08:59:15Z] High-pitched wail

 After doing a quick-n-dirty audio job, I've determined that it's a
 solid 3KHz sine wave.  After a little research, I found that WYFR
 transmits on 5950KHz, so the frequency of the tone makes some sense.

 That said, *why* am I hearing this in the first place?  When WWCR and
 V02a butt heads, all I hear is the overlapping crosstalk; with SK01
 and WYFR, it's as they're doing a cheap and irritating Emergency
 Broadcast System imitation.  If anyone could shed some light on this
 curiosity, I'd appreciate it.

 [09:11Z, 09:16Z, 09:22Z, 09:26Z] Possible SK01 Tx

 I see faint traces of SK01 transmissions in the spectrogram beginning
 at 08:59:50Z, 09:04:50Z, 09:09:50Z, 09:14:50Z, 09:19:51Z, and
 09:24:51Z.  What I probably heard was the closer/footer tone of RDFT
 instead of the header tone.

Phoenix, do you have a recording of this?  I am most interested in what you 
heard.

However, I believe any numbers you heard not grouped in 5 figure groups were 
not the same Vietnamese numbers station that has been seen on this 
frequency.  Today (August 01, 2010) the Vietnamese numbers station sent 
three messages.  It sent the same 42 group message it has been sending since 
April 22, 2010.

1st message started at 1557:56 and ended at 1601:25
2nd message started at 1603:33 and ended at 1607:02
3rd message started at 1609:10 and ended at 1612:39

The messages were about S6, and very clear here.  Nothing was heard here 
between the messages or for at least 20 minutes after the last message.

Just a few minutes prior to the first message, and during much of the first 
message, there was (and often is on many days) unrelated communications 
slightly lower in frequency.  That communication is weak enough (right at 
the noise level for me) at my location that I can not tell the language, or 
even exact frequency, I can only tell it was there.

About 20 minutes before the first message there was a two way communication 
between an OM and a YL that lasted about 10 minutes, this was in Australian 
accented English and was directly on frequency, 10255 kHz, and in USB.

 It might be interesting to see if any new numbers stations pop up around
 the Koreas, or if jamming becomes more prominent in stations based out
 of those areas in light of the recent mounting tensions between the two
 countries.  Are there any known North Korea/South Korea numbers
 stations?  Voice of Korea might be something to monitor over the next
 couple of weeks, even though it is not a numbers station.
