----------------------
In this column I'd like to deal with the more obscure part of our hobby.
Numbers stations, strange sounds, beeps, pips and items about intelligence
organizations is what have in mind for the 'Numbers & Oddities' (N&O) column.
It is both a difficult and a fascinating part of the hobby. There is little
known of the stations I just mentioned and the main part of the information
here comes from a bunch of dedicated N&O monitors. It is the result of many,
many hours of listening, comparing and discussing the loggings with fellow
dxers.
Useful information can be found in Popular Communications, Monitoring
Times, the Enigma Newsletter and of course DX-Club bulletins. The following
books are also highly recommended: Underground Frequency Guide (Don Schimmel),
Secret Signals (Simon Mason), Uno, Dos, Cuatro (Havana Moon) and Intercepting
Numbers Stations (Langley Pierce).
The most heard numbers stations are operated by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, MI6
and BND.
In many countries it is prohibited to listen to utility stations,
particularly to government or military stations. Therefore I will omit the
names of the people who send me their info, unless you want to be mentioned.

Oddities: lots of strange noises, pips and beeps can be heard throughout
the shortwave spectrum. Many of them are simply hets, natural noises or
originate from navigational systems like Omega, Loran and Decca.
Other transmissions however, are more difficult to pin-point. Why would
someone transmit the time in CW without any form of identification, or
what about the stations who transmit the pips and beeps ?
On 4625 kHz a buzzer can be heard 24 hours a day. This one started in the
early eighties as a 2-second pip and changed a couple of years ago into
the buzzer. The station is located in Byelorussia according to a DF-expert.
No-one knows its purpose.
On 4081,3 kHz there is a beep with a duration of 2 seconds which is
transmitted every 4 seconds. No id has ever been heard. Another one can
be found on 3757,1 kHz. A pip is transmitted every second. No id so far.
Also on 4625 kHz is a strange kinda timesignal station. It is best heard
in the late evenings here in Europe and transmits the time (UTC+3 hours)
in CW. No id heard. The time UTC+3 is Moscow time. It is unknown if the
station transmits from the former USSR. The Middle East is also a possible
location.

The WUN Military Column - February 1995
Jim Pogue, editor (kh2ar@aol.com)
Welcome to the first edition of the WUN Military Column. This seems
like a good time to introduce myself, and to tell you a little about my
objectives for this column.
I am 44 years old, and work as a Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. Prior to that, I spent 10 years
(1979-89) in the U.S. Coast Guard as a Radioman. I was stationed at the
Coast Guard's Radio School in Petaluma, Calif.; at Radsta Guam/NRV; and here
in Memphis at Group Lower Mississippi River/NML7. I also spent 4 years in
the U.S. Navy as a Communications Technician-R Branch (Morse Intercept
Operator). There, I was stationed at Naval Security Group Activity
Northwest, Chesapeake, Va.; Commsta San Miguel, Philippines; and aboard USS
Josephus Daniels, USS Mahan and USS Kitty Hawk in the Gulf of Tonkin (1972).
I have authored two books, both published by Gerry Dexter's Tiare
Publications. They are "Coast Guard Radio," and "The Warships Directory,
Vol. I." For those interested, more publishing projects are in the works, so
stay tuned. I've also had several articles published in MT and PopComm over
the years, mostly dealing with military communications issues.
In this column, I hope to cover a wide variety of topics concerning
military communications. Although my area of greatest knowledge and
expertise is in maritime military comms, I will do my best to address all
areas; in other words, whatever flies, floats or fires, and whoever
communicates with them.
I also intend to take a very global approach to coverage. Those of us
who are at the heart of making the WUN a reality, hope to cater to and
involve a very international group of hobbyists in this information exchange
project.
Please share your feelings about these objectives with me. I will do my
best to meet the wants and needs of you who read and hopefully use the
information in this column. And perhaps most important of all, please share
your knowledge and experiences as we travel in and through this exciting
hobby.
You can reach me via Internet at KH2AR@aol.com, by FAX at (901)
544-3786, by mail at P.O. Box 3888, Memphis, TN 38173-0888 USA, or by
telephone at (901) 544-3348 [weekdays] or (901) 873-4291 [evenings and
weekends]. So much for the appetizer - now on to the main course:
U.S. ARMED FORCES:
* Tim Tyler tells us a very large joint military exercise involving Air
Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Special Operations forces, etc. is scheduled to
begin Feb. 18. No specific frequencies were mentioned, but we can probably
keep our receivers and ears tuned to the usual military frequencies and
expect to hear a lot in the coming days.
GERMAN COAST GUARD (Kustenwache):
* From U.S. Naval Institute's "Proceedings," we learn that German government
agencies that operate non-naval patrol craft combined their operations Jul.
1, 1994 to form the "Kustenwache" or German Coast Guard. All vessels are
still owned and operated by their original owners. An example of a
Kustenwache vessel is the Sea Border Patrol (Bundesgrenzschultz-see) patrol
boat Neustrelitz. This vessel was formerly the East German guided missile
patrol boat Sassnitz. It was converted for its present use in 1992-93 with
smaller engines, Western-compatible gun systems, and it lost its eight
SS-NX-25 antiship missiles.
PRC NAVY (Jen-min Haichun):
* A Russian spokesman confirmed Feb. 10 that Russia has agreed to deliver 3
or 4 Kilo class diesel attack submarines to the PRC Navy. Plans also call
for more Kilos to be built in Chinese shipyards with Russian assistance.
U.S. AIR FORCE:
* Also from Tim Tyler, 14615 kHz USB is still a GHFS discrete channel for
Ascension. Evidently this frequency did not get caught up in all the recent
aero frequency changes.
U.S. ARMY:
* Some readers may not be aware of the large fleet of vessel the U.S. Army
owns and operates through its Corps of Engineers and Transportation Corps.
These vessels operate on the high seas, in coastal areas and on the immense
inland river system of the United States. The flagship of the Corps of
Engineers' fleet on America's rivers is the M/V Mississippi (M/V Miss). The
M/V Miss is 241 feet long, with a beam of 58 feet. Its height from the water
line to the pilot house is 52 feet, and it draws just 8 feet, allowing it to
operate with ease on the Mississippi River and many of its tributaries. Its
engines develop 6,300 HP, and can move it through the water at 15,75 MPH.
Although it is actually owned by the government's Mississippi River
Commission at Vicksburg, Miss., the M/V Miss serves 90 percent of its time as
a work boat for the Memphis District, where it is homeported. Its main role
is moving barges, equipment and supplies on the river in support of the
Corps' river stabilization mission. You may hear the M/V Miss using either
voice or packet transmissions. Its callsign is AEUI, and the most likely
place to hear it is on 5400 kHz, in either SITOR-B or USB. It will likely be
heard working either the Memphis District (WUG2) or Vicksburg (WUG). If you
hear the M/V Miss and want to send a reception report, address it along with
a PFC to Mr. Billy Brooks at the Memphis District (CELMM-IM-T), U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, 167 N. Main St., Room B-202, Memphis, TN 38103-1894.
* This just in: we have received approval from the national director of Army
MARS to operate from the M/V Miss using the AEUI callsign crossband (military
to amateur) during the annual U.S. Armed Forces Day Communications Tests this
May. This will be an excellent opportunity to log and verify this vessel for
ute
SWLs as well as hams. Special QSL cards will be available. More to follow
on times and frequencies when they are known.
U.S. COAST GUARD:
* Here's an update on what's going on at NRV (formerly a USCG COMMSTA) on the
Western Pacific island of Guam. This information comes to us directly from
the Telecommunications Specialist-in-Charge (TCIC) there, TCC Greg Woodward.
Greg says NRV spearheaded the Coast Guard's COMMSYS2000 Initiative (an
ambitious modernization and downsizing program) when it closed the COMMSTA in
1993. A completely new communication center was installed at MARSEC (USCG
Marianas Section - located aboard Naval Station Guam), but the NRV callsign
was retained. NRV, along with the rest of the CG, stopped monitoring 500 kHz
CW as a distress frequency in July/August 1993. In 1993, the WESTPAC LORAN-C
Chain (Gesashi, Okinawa; Hokkaido, Japan; Iwo Jima Island; Marcus Island;
Yokota Air Base, Japan) was transferred to the Japanese Government. Far East
Section (FESEC) at Yokota was downsized and the name changed to Far East
Activity (FEACT). Their current mission is pretty much restricted to that of
a stateside Marine Safety Office (Seaman's documents, pollution response,
etc.). Guam's high frequency CW and SITOR have all been remoted to CAMSPAC
San Francisco/NMC. This is a complex circuit that goes as far as Scott AFB,
IL. It travels over satellite, copper, fiber optics, Pacific Bell, and Navy
and Air Force circuits on Guam. Although all of the keying is done at NMC in
California, and the operators are located there, the actual transmitters and
receivers are still located at Guam's Barrigada Naval Transmitting facility.
Thus, if you hear NRV, you are still in fact hearing a signal from Guam.
Greg also supplies us with a complete list of broadcasts that NRV does. I
have eliminated VHF broadcasts that we obviously won't hear at any distance
from Guam.
2100 UTC NAVTEX broadcast on 518 kHz.
2130 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 13089 kHz USB (SCN).
2205 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 2182/2670 kHz USB.
0100 UTC NAVTEX broadcast on 518 kHz.
0330 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 13089 kHz USB (SCN).
0500 UTC NAVTEX broadcast on 518 kHz.
0705 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 2182/2670 kHz USB.
0930 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 6501 kHz USB (SCN).
1300 UTC NAVTEX broadcast on 518 kHz.
1530 UTC Scheduled voice broadcast on 6501 kHz USB (SCN).
1700 UTC NAVTEX broadcast on 518 kHz.
NRV also provides communications support for the USCGC Basswood and USCGC
Galveston Island, both homeported at Guam. They use SCN (Systems
Coordination Net), SHFDL (Secure High Frequency Data Link - a packett type
transmission), and SVN (Secure Voice Network). They also support any C-130
aircraft that may deploy to Guam from either CG Airsta Sacramento, Calif., or
Barbers Point, Hi. Here, they use either the standard Coast Guard air to
ground frequencies in the clear, or SAG (Secure Air to Ground).
Thanks Greg, for a great look inside the operations at NRV. Still lots of
opportunities to hear this most remote and distant of the Coast Guard's
communications facilities. If you hear NRV, send your reception report along
with a PFC and return postage to Greg at USCG Marianas Section, PSC 455, Box
176, FPO AP 96540-1056 USA.
* In other U.S. Coast Guard news, here's a new address for Coast Guard Group
Grand Haven, MI: it is 650 Harbor Ave., Grand Haven, MI 49417-1752 USA.
* And a couple of related address changes, good for both CG Station Freeport,
Texas and the USCGC Knight Island - 823 Coast Guard Dr., Freeport, TX 77541
USA.
U.S. NAVY:
* From Steve Schultz, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65 -- that's the aircraft
carrier, not the Federation Starship) is entering drydock at Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock in Virginia. The $30 million overhaul will
concentrate on communications and combat systems, and be completed June 20.
Keep an ear tuned to 4835 kHz USB for Norfolk Shipyard Control, and 7535 kHz
USB for SESEF Norfolk. Either or both may be working the "Big E" in the next
few months.
* The USS Whirlwind (PC-11), eleventh in the Cyclone Class of coastal patrol
vessels, will be commissioned in Memphis, Tenn., on July 1, 1995. The
Whirlwind is 170 feet long, and is designed for coastal interdiction, special
warfare missions (that's Navy SEALs folks), and other exciting activities.
As we get closer to the commissioning date, I'll keep you posted on their
transit up the Mississippi River, and possible opportunities to log some HF
transmissions from them.
* The Navy News Service (NNS) reports Pres. Bill CLinton has approved names
for CVN-75 and CVN-76, Nimitz-class aircraft carriers currently authorized
for construction, as the USS Harry S. Truman and the USS Ronald Reagan,
respectively. This represents a change from earlier plans to name CVN-75 USS
United States. The Truman and Reagan will replace two conventionally-powered
aircraft carriers that are reaching the end of their 40-year life spans. The
new vessels are expected to have life-spans of nearly 50 years. Delivery
date for the Truman is set for 1998, and the Reagan 2002.
* Also from NNS, Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine USS Omaha
(SSN-692) was inactivated Dec. 16, 1995.
* The Norfolk Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Corp. will overhaul the USNS Concord
(T-AFS 5)/NACK commending May 1, 1995. Work will last approx. 270 days (see
freqs to listen for in Enterprise item above).
* USNS Capella (T-AKR 293)/NBXO and USNS Antares (T-AKR 294)/NPEJ will change
homeports from Jacksonville, FL to Baltimore, MD, on May 10. These vessels
are operated for the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command by Bay Ship
Management Co.
Well, there you have it folks. I hope you've found some interesting and
useful information here. Please give me your feedback, and tell me what
you'd like to see. Keep spinning those dials, and we'll see you in March.

=============================================================================
Welcome to the premiere edition of the Worldwide UTE News QSL Report.
In this column I will be consolidating reports from WUN members that show
the goodies the postal services of the world have been bringing us. But
beyond that it's my intent to include QSLing tips and tidbits, including
those elusive utility station addresses that can be so difficult to find.
This first attempt is an eclectic collection without any real attempt on
my part to establish a reporting format for QSLs received. I would
sincerely appreciate the members' input as to what you'd like to see in
this column. Please send me your feedback on the following issues:
1. Should we establish a "standard" format for QSL reporting in WUN?
2. If the answer to #1. is "yes", what items of information do you find the
most useful? Keeping in mind the fact that space (in the form of the
number of bytes consumed by this column) is always a concern, I would
appreciate your ranking of the following items in order of importance to
you:
Frequency
Mode
Number of Days for the reply to be received
Format of QSL received (e.g., PFC, QSL card, letter)
Other "goodies" received (e.g., photos, info sheets, accompanying letters)
Veri-signer's name
Type of station/aircraft/vessel (e.g., Coastal Station, LDOC, B747, C-130,
Bulk Carrier, Frigate, etc.)
Anything else we should be including? Station name/callsign is of course
of prime importance and need not be included in the rankings.
Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated!
