Hi All ,just to clear this up I accept Priyom is not encrypted. The 
confusion on my part was that the first time I looked at their web page 
and wanted to sent them a message.
My message was encrypted then sent. which was a bit off putting. As I 
know the internet and email is the most insecure method of 
communication. Likened to conducted a "private" conversion using 
bull-horns across the Concourse at Paddington station in the rush hour.  
And I would bet all the major "spook" outfits, GCHQ  ,NSA, KGB (by what 
ever current name), Red Chines Intel, not forgetting the nosy EU,can 
break PGP in real time, So it gives a false sense of security to users - 
just gut instinct as nobody is telling!

The outcome of my message was that I got a very friendly and helpful 
email back and they now have my April to June log. I think I have used 
the "what stations are up in the next hour facility in the past".

Setting up for E12's 1700 zulu transmissions using the Dutch-SDR, I 
bagged another "fox". A mores stream just appeared on 7931 Kcs a known 
Russian military frequency, lasted from  1655 to 1659 zulu fast morse 
all numbers, it was gone before the BBC pips on Radio 4, 198 Kcs.  my 
decoder (cwLab4x) thinks the speed was around 35 wpm,


Good hunting, and 73s, Dave
