Today, 15 November 2014, starting at 1530 UTC on 10240 kHz there was one of the craziest E17z transmissions as of late. It started with the standard E17z voice machine repeating '274'. It stopped after two minutes, and returned a minute later. After one minute of repeated '274', the message began: 958 958 30 30 33796 13577 74526 46647 79302 20534 11160 43494 Then, suddenly, the carrier was switched off. It returned a minute later with '274' repeated for one minute, then it continued from group #9 onwards: 38786 30485 Someone at E17z turned down the audio at the two last digits of the repeat of the group '30485'. Blank carrier for two minutes, then faint E17z returned with repeated '274', but seconds later it stopped. Then over the next two minutes there were ~30 kHz wide tones, and a minute later more '274' with low audio, which stopped after 30 seconds. It stopped, and then 15 seconds it restarted with good audio. '274' for one minute, and groups from #11 onwards: ..... 68672 86468 38786 30485 96632 52537 53317 06675 41847 21767 53587 11834 81022 36903 41412 55676 09775 86315 25910 (! repeated as 25901 !) 05899 50387 45847 23013 89757 52343 79628 42432 54 and off again Then, something unusual happened - we could hear microphone noises and breathing into it, then a LIVE YL OPERATOR began repeating '274', continuing from group #34 onwards: 23013 89757 52343 79628 42432 54577 56281 891 891 30 30 0 0 0 0 0 Note that the DK at the end was '891', as opposed to '958' given at the beginning. Also the message was 40 groups long in total. The same YL was previously heard on Thursday, 13 November 2014, at 0700-0710 UTC on 8100 kHz, where she tried to send a message, also with DK '891', but stopped after two groups. Therefore the full message was: 274 958 30 33796 13577 74526 46647 79302 20534 11160 43494 38786 30485 46062 68672 86468 38786 30485 96632 52537 53317 06675 41847 21767 53587 11834 81022 36903 41412 55676 09775 86315 25910 (! repeated as 25901 !) 05899 50387 45847 23013 89757 52343 79628 42432 54577 56281 891 30 00000 Note that the groups '38786 30485' repeat in this message.

Consider that 274 only appears occasionally, and there are always screw ups, though the regular Thursday 674 schedules mainly pass without incident. If this is a training schedule, look at what the op(s) learned here: 1) What happens if there is an equipment failure during callup? Restart the call up. 2) What happens if there is a power/equipment failure during the message and the op knows where the failure was? Briefly restart the callup, then continue with the message from the failure point. 3) What happens if the op is not sure the transmitter is functioning properly? Send test tones. 4) What happens if there is a power/equipment failure the op does NOT know exactly where the failure was? Go back to a point that is definitely before the failure and continue from there. 5) What happens if all the equipment (except the transmitter) has failed? Transmit the message live. 4) and 5) appear to have been combined in this broadcast. It seems to me that, as a test of equipment failure procedures, this was very professionally dealt with. Also, look at the traffic. E17z/S06s traffic is usually very short, 5-9 groups, with little chance for "manufactured failure". Increasing message length allows the instructor/student time to practice procedures. If you break it down into 5 group chunks (the minimum/usual length of E17z/S06s messages) you get: chunk 1) 33796 13577 74526 46647 79302 chunk 2) 20534 11160 43494 (38786 30485) chunk 3) 46062 68672 (86468 38786) 30485 chunk 4) 96632 52537 53317 06675 (41847) chunk 5) 21767 (53587) 11834 81022 36903 chunk 6) 41412 (55676 09775 86315 25910) chunk 7) 05899 50387 45847 23013 (89757) chunk 8) 52343 79628 42432 (54577) 56281 I've bracketed some of the groups, which i'll come to shortly. Chunk 1 is a message I have first noted in September '09, and E17z in June '13. The first 3 groups of Chunk 2 I have noted from April '10. Group 4 then was 37638, very similar to group 4 here (38786) + a totally different group in group 5. Chunk 3, again very similar to a message first seen in April '09, except groups 3 and 4 have become 86468 38786, instead of 97478 39685. The remaining chunks follow a similar pattern, with groups in brackets either never seen or not seen in that position. Regarding the first and last group of the chunks where previously noted. first group 33796 - I have it noted (E17z/S06s)as appearing 41 times since 1/1/09, 40 of those instances in group 1. 20534 - 10 times, all group 1 46062 - 48 times, all group 1 96632 - 22 times, various group positions 21767 - 24 times, 22 in group 1 etc. last group 79302 - 50 occurrences, 36 in last or penultimate group 30485 - 46, 41 as last group 36903 - 16, all last group etc. I could go on, but all this seems fairly convincing evidence that this is not a major failure, but a very professional training experience.

Today, 15 November 2014, starting at 1530 UTC on 10240 kHz there was one of the craziest E17z transmissions as of late. It started with the standard E17z voice machine repeating '274'. It stopped after two minutes, and returned a minute later. After one minute of repeated '274', the message began: 958 958 30 30 33796 13577 74526 46647 79302 20534 11160 43494 Then, suddenly, the carrier was switched off. It returned a minute later with '274' repeated for one minute, then it continued from group #9 onwards: 38786 30485 Someone at E17z turned down the audio at the two last digits of the repeat of the group '30485'. Blank carrier for two minutes, then faint E17z returned with repeated '274', but seconds later it stopped. Then over the next two minutes there were ~30 kHz wide tones, and a minute later more '274' with low audio, which stopped after 30 seconds. It stopped, and then 15 seconds it restarted with good audio. '274' for one minute, and groups from #11 onwards: ..... 68672 86468 38786 30485 96632 52537 53317 06675 41847 21767 53587 11834 81022 36903 41412 55676 09775 86315 25910 (! repeated as 25901 !) 05899 50387 45847 23013 89757 52343 79628 42432 54 and off again Then, something unusual happened - we could hear microphone noises and breathing into it, then a LIVE YL OPERATOR began repeating '274', continuing from group #34 onwards: 23013 89757 52343 79628 42432 54577 56281 891 891 30 30 0 0 0 0 0 Note that the DK at the end was '891', as opposed to '958' given at the beginning.

That's why I said that I wonder if it's for real. Meaning "sending real messages to real outstations/spies/whatever". In normal transmissions E17z and S06s seldom screw up. It certainly looks like a training with all the messed up transmissions and talks. Always fascinating to hear ;-)) Cheers Ary -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Spooks [mailto:spooks-bounces at mailman.qth.net] Namens spooks at puzzler.net Verzonden: zondag 16 november 2014 0:51 Aan: spooks at mailman.qth.net Onderwerp: Re: [Spooks] E17z, 15 November 2014 Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this list This is not so weird/unprofessional if you think of it as a training ID.

But I am not sure if this is reality. I would think different, if the frequency is another one. Best 73&55 Jochen NumbersKopf
