Hi there,
It stands for the ENIGMA DESIGNATOR, an alpha numeric reference which 
individually and specifically identifies every known number station (current & 
historical), plus some others, in both voice / CW / other modes.
It is the De Facto standard adopted by the hobby at large, providing a reference 
that is independant of the monitors mother language - so understood by all.
This list, called the ENIGMA Control List (or ECL) is solely maintained by a 
member of the ENIGMA 2000 Group (European Numbers Information Gathering and 
Monitoring Association)

+ many others if you Google or Mamma it
