毎日のようにYamaguchiさまのNumbers Umbrella Part Oneを読み返していますが５７１５、６２１５などの韓国語乱数放送が本当に韓国からなのかどうなのか興味深深です。Torii氏のHPにはその理由が掲載されていますが真実はどうなのか知りたいところです。その後何かわかったことがあればよろしくお願いいたします。
いまのところCIAとNew Star Radioだけ録音しました。

EIGMA2000より中国のナンバーズについて書いてくれとメッセージ。
下手な英語で報告しました。
Chinese female numbers stations
Mode: AM
Announcer: Mandarin Chinese (live and recorded)
Starts at H+00 and H+30
Powerful signal in Japan.
For example, in the case of Guangzhou
-Null message format (recorded voice)
All listening stations in the country. (x3)
This is Guangzhou calling. (x2)
Repeats above for approx. 5 mins.
Ends with “thanks”
-Message format (live voice)
All listening stations in the country. (x3)
This is Guangzhou calling. (x2)
Repeats above for approx. 5 mins.
There is a message, followed by a message number (x2), group count (2x), then 4FG’s (X2).
I’ll repeat a message.
I’ll repeat a message.
End of Transmission.
Thanks.
As far as I’ve heard, the message transmission is very rare.
Almost all are null message transmissions.
The Chinese female numbers can be divided into following three groups.
Group A, Guangzhou as ID, V09 and V16
6265, 6468, 6885, 7750 10750, 12012 and 13680kHz
Daily between 1500-1730z (East Asian midnight) frequently heard.
Occasionally two parallel transmissions can be heard, most frequently 6885//10750kHz.
V09 and V16 are same.
Group B, Beijing as ID, V22
4760, 6355, 6375, 6465, 8375, 9125, 10200, 10500, 15640, 16520, 16830, 16835, 17310, 18020 and 21450 kHz
Daily except East Asian Saturday on 8375kHz the carrier is continuously on between 1100-1700z. Repeats a null message for 30 mins intervals.
Usually non-parallel transmissions except 6465//8375kHz occasionaly at 1700z.
Sunday at 0000 or 0030z 16520kHz can be heard frequently.
Group C, three figure IDs, somewhere in China, without ENIMA code
6721, 6468, 6906, 8337, 8870, 11016, 11262, 11298, 12310, 12630, 12877, 13210, 13260, 14336, 14860, 15753, 15958, 16572, 18649 and 22305 kHz.

From: G3VGW @ GB7DBY.#23.GBR.EU 14th. August 2001
Hello SWLs,
Here is the frequency schedule for the new Japanese experimental
station JG2XA, extracted from the Internet bulletins of Wolfgang, DF5SX.
-------
JAPAN
I send you the infomation about the experimental SW stn JG2XA. As
I live in the neighbouring city, the transmission is well received:
University of Electronics & Communications, Chofu City, Tokyo
started experimental short wave transmissions for research of HF-band
Doppler-Shift(HFD). They had been using 5 & 8 MHz signals of former JJY,
which ended in March. They decided to set up their own SW stn for this
purpose. The new Shortwave station, call sign JG2XA, started regular
transmissions on July 3.
Frequencies: 5006 and 8006 (width 1.5 kHz) Power: 200 watt
Schedule: 24 hrs with continous unmodulated carrier, ID in Morse Code is
given at least every 30 mins as "JG2XA JG2XA JG2XA UEC HFD STATION" in H3A
mode.
Addr: Tomizawa Laboratory, University of Electronics & Communications,

また自主ペディのご報告です。
Mossadを中心に結構聞けました。雑魚のなかにも9202kHzは新顔、大感激でした。でも肝心のコールサインは未確認。コレでわたしの聞けたMossad CHsも合計101となりました。
総じてabnormal callsignsなく、もちろん期待したDeep cover and mission specific transmissionもありませんでした。
NASナンバーズを重点的にチェックしてみます。The Eastern Music numbers, V08については、全くわかりません。よろしければまた教えてください。

先日Presumed South Korean female numbersに関してENIGMA codeをつけたいので概略を教えてくれとの英国よりのE-mail，つたない英語でつきのように報告しました。
Presumed South Korean female numbers
Freq
4500, 4600, 5450, 5500, 5715, 6215, 6715kHz
Transmission time
1200-1700UTC, H+00 or H+30
Mode
AM
Announcer
Female
Sample transmission as follows
Carrier is on at approx. 10 mins before interval signal
Interval signal
The No.3285, sent twice
Please receive the message
Count 64
3+2FG's or 2+2FG's
For example reading about “34592”
“Three hundred forty five ninety two”
I'll repeat the message again
5FG's or 4FG's
For example, “34592”
“Thirty four thousand five hundred ninety two”
That's all. Thanks.
Carrier is off immediately.
Usually single transmission without parallel tx.
6215kHz is most frequently used.
Occasionally similar but non-parallel tx is heard on these two freq.
Two parallel transmissions can be heard very occasionally.
6715kHz is very, very rarely used.
6215kHz is a worldwide maritime distress and safety freq.
The interval signals are various South Korean pop songs except for "the
General Kim Il Sung's song.
The female announcer's message is a very loud and distorted voice.
I've never heard QRH(drift) and spurious on these freq.
In literature about numbers stations such very strange reading of figures
can be found also in V08, the Eastern Music numbers．
The Eastern Music nbrs, V08 本日、０３：００ ６６４７KHｚ聴けました。
強いCarrierが確認でき、その後打楽器入りのイントロ音楽に続きArabicらしき言語にて乱数読み上げ。女性の声のようでした。Arabicは全然わかりませんが「アルバ」という言葉が盛んに聞こえました。０３：１７音楽のあと放送終了、０３：２０Carrier切れる。眠いなか頑張った甲斐がありました。
Takashi Yamaguchi 08月04日（土）16時49分32秒 2001年
D)The Eastern Music nbrs, V08
ENIGMA の各Newsletter に何度も記載のあるこのnbrs, AMモード。ENIGMA codeはV8。使用言語はArabicだが発信地点に統括agencyなど一切不明である。この姉妹stnがJean Michel Jarreの音楽で開始する "The Magnetic Field" nbrs。周波数は一緒らしい。
"The Conet Project CD" の録音を聞くと、荘厳な感じのArabic musicに始まり、female AnnによるArabic nbrsとなる。
ちょっとばかり脱線するけど盲目のリスナーの登場なんてミステリー気味。でも氏のこと、知るヒトぞ知る有名な独のnbrs monitorのようだ。前述したENIGMA code のV19, これは1980年代の有名なSpanish nbrs, pop song "Don't cry for me Argentina" にて始まる "WTR21" nbrs, "The Conet Project CD" に録音のものは彼氏のレコーディングと云う。
実際聞いてみると直接録音ではなくmicrophone使用の録音は明らか、周囲の雑音にレコーダーのsettingのノイズが結構聞ける。盲目でもこの根性にはわたし感激した。
戻ってEastern Music nbrsのArabic Ann、何も知らんで聞くと普通のArabic BCみたいである。とてもnbrsのようには聞けない。もちろん "The Conet Project CD" でのお話。コレは実際聞いてもワカラン可能性もある。従ってイントロのSyrian guitarは重要だろう。
このEastern Music nbrs、どうもSKEDが変わったようだ。毎月第一 or 第二or 第三日曜の冬季04:00、夏期03:00の6645kHz。
日本でこの時間は辛いけど聞ける可能性はある。但し時間にルーズ、±3kHzを探す必要もある。
ちょっと前には第一土曜日17:20 or 18:20に11290kHzの指摘もみる。毎月1回のチャンスには変わりない。また最近同一時間火曜日の報告もみる。
Eastern Music nbrs, 多分BC用の送信機使用中と書いてあった。嘗ては完璧Arabicの誤送信があったらしい。
最近のものは2000年1月の第三日曜に聞けたと書いてある。低変調の10分間。いつものことだがテープは傷んでるし、汚い変調、開始のミュージックは間違いだらけ。そのあとのENIGMAの記載が傑作。
『This agency really must try harder.』、
とにかく
『どうでもよいけどもっと真面目にやってくれヨ！』だってサ。
ここまで書いて、とうとうわたし"The Eastern Music nbrs" が聞けたんですヨ。万歳。まともな録音もできたンデス。またまた下手な英語で御免ください。これ女房の実家、ど田舎島原でのこと。ここは都会のQRNはゼロ。時間はUTC。これは夏時間です。
『6645.0kHz 99/07/04, 03:00, AM, 48, The Eastern Music nbrs, ENIGMA code V8, hrd in AM at 1815. The carrier was on at 1800 UTC, characteristic Arabic-style instrumental music started at 1815 for 1 min, then into YL/Arabic nbrs, ended w/similar music for 10 sec at 1825. Sounded like a usual Arabic BC. Jammer and clandestine were busy on the same freq, but pretty good signal w/low modulation. First time I've ever encountered ENIGMA code V8. Able to record this stn in cassette tape and confirm using "the Conet Project CD". A lucky day.』
コレはPOP'COMMにそのまま掲載されたものです。
実際島原にて深夜感激の受信。芋焼酎飲みながらの無変調carrierの待ち受け。聞けたときわたし一瞬酔いも醒めました。何しろ無変調carrierを待つこと15分ですヨ、酔っ払いのイライラ、ようやく聞けたイントロ、感激! こんな時芋焼酎は特に美味しい。
毎月第一日曜の午前3時 or 4時が狙いどころ。たった月に一回のチャンス。でも第二日曜のこともあるらしい。
このISは何回聞いても楽しい。厭きない。被さるpyratesは明らかな妨害電波とわかる。この録音は結構珍しいもの。送信元、統括agency, 国家など一切不明だが、最近Algeria説が浮上中とか。
とにかく詳しく言及した文献も知らない。欧州では18:00 or 19:00 UTCの酔いの口、こんなこと言葉の問題だけと思うが……。
そしてまた2000年の新年早々またも聞けたんです。これも島原でJST。
『6647.0kHz The Eastern Music station, ENIGMA V8, 00/01/09, 04:05, AM, 49. The Arabic/YL nbrs hrd in progress. Ended with Arabic music for 10 sec at 0429 JST. Pretty good signal but low modulation. This is 2nd Saturday of Jan.』
E) "The Magnetic Field" nbrs, E9
Eastern Music nbrsの姉妹nbrsで日本人には聞き易い英語。同一周波数。AMと云う。ENIGMA codeのE9です。
"The Conet Project CD" で聞くと、有名なJean Michel Jarreの音楽で開始。そしてfemale Annによる『Forty four D.』の二回反復、そして英語の5FG'sに移行、メッセージの反復には『again, again.』、そして5FGs, またJean Michel Jarreの曲で終わる。結構聞き易い曲、耳ざわりもよいし違和感はない
Nbrs stnの『Repeat』はよく聞くけど『again, again.』は知らない。
音痴のわたしも聞いたようなこの曲、出典は "Les Chants Magnetiques" の part 1, Jean Michel Jarreの1981年アルバムからの出展と云う。そう書いてあった。
そしてこの "Magnetique" から "The Magnetic Field" nbrsとなったようだ。
"The Conet Project CD" の説明書とENIGMA Newsletter, 妙なAnnの『Forty four D.』の反復、この意義に関して何の解説もない。これどんな意味だろう？多分誰もわからんのだ。
『It appears to then send a message for 44D, spoken (in poor English) as "Fourty Four Dee".』
と書いてあった。これも相当ひどい英語みたいダネ。
このnbrsは、送信時間30分以上のこともあると云う。SKEDは毎週火曜日の03:00 or 04:00, 上記の6645, 11290kHz, AMもちろん±3kHzを探す必要もある。この時間なら特に11290kHz、日本でも聞ける可能性は高かろう。
これも時間には大変ルーズなnbrsと云う。この "The Magnetic Field" nbrs, 最近欧州でのレポートは少ないそうだ。欧州時間はまだ宵の口なのに…。
未確認情報だが、両者ともAlgerian Intelligenceの関与。この局はQRTとの噂もある。事実半年以上WUNとSpooksに受信報告はみない。
従ってもう "The Magnetic Field" と云う名称自体おかしくなる。
最近のENIGMA Newsletter 18ではもうformerly "The Magnetic Field" nbrsと書いてあった。煩いENIGMAクンの対応は迅速、ヒトにイロイロ文句云うだけのことはあるようだ。
これも一種のTS, time signalなんだろうが、M18とはかなりニュアンスが違う。そして明らかにpseudo-TS(偽時報局)と云うように打電時間はこれも若干不正確。実際のところ正確な時報より数分ズレていることが多い。
Russian Air Defenseの運用と云う。これは2年前の機構改革により出来たもので公的にはRussian Air Forceの分室である。
YL/EE,w/phonetics,also noted on 8641 & 12747kHz.Ended w/“End of Message,end of trasmission"in AM(AM compatible reduced carrier USB mode) at 14:27.But carrier was still on,suddenly once“YHF"in phinetics at 14:29,then carrier was off.8641 & 12747kHz were normal operations.
The slot machine
煩いけど4233.0, 6417.0, 6445.0, 8588.0, 8703.5kHzにてスロットマシーンが聞けます。全部パラ。夜間は絶好調。お聞き願います。ENIGMAではXSLです。ナンバーズではないけど”oddities”の一環でしょう。
The Cuban "atencion " numbers, V02,DGI, Cuban Intelligence
毎週日曜日16:00に13374kHzにご注目ください。Cubaよりのナンバーズです。AM。Sは結構振るけど低変調。聞きづらい。聞いてのお楽しみです。
Recently it has been pretty hard to hear V02 and V02a, but 13374kHz can be heard regularly at 0700z every Sunday, which is approximately 6 in max signal strength but very low modulation.
これはSpooksへの今月の報告の一部です。
広州ですが、10750//6885kHzで日本の深夜H+00 and/or H+30で聞けます。パラでないこともあります。連日の運用ではありません。5分間。『All stations, This is Guangzhou. We are waitng for your messages．』の反復。同様に『謝謝。』で終了です。このキャァリァは出っ放しではありません。
そして4604kHzでは新しく“ROV”が on the air を開始、そのactiveな運用が指摘してあった。わたしも、狙い打ちして一回だけ聞いたのだが何しろ深夜のfaint sig、でも苦労したカイがあった。これは“ROV-S”の異常コール、おまけにdeep cover/mission specific trafficだった。このコールサイン、花のENIGMAの指摘もない。これは怖い女房の実家でのお話。実家は空家、芋焼酎呑みながらのヒトリの自主ペディション、ここはド田舎ノイズは少ない。
Chinese female numbers, ENIGMA V22
22:00JSTより02:00までH+00/30に『All center stations, This is Beijing speaking.』を5分間反復。もちろん中国語、Manadarin Chinese, 最後は『謝謝。』で終わります。まれにナンバーズを送信します。上記の時間キャリアは出っぱなしです。
山口 孝 07月16日（月）12時48分17秒 2001年
本日の月曜日、ただいま勤務中です。
わたしたち休暇はほとんどありません。原則的に日曜祭日のみ。でも日当直にあたるとパァとなります。
As befits an operation as legendary as the KGB, this family of stations is impressive in size and importance. The winding
up of the KGB in post Cold War Russia has done nothing to diminish the activity of this network. Here again is Langley
Pierce's description:
The name of the KGB is synonymous with spying, and since the ending of the Cold War and the breaking up of the old
Soviet Union, their activities have gained unprecedented exposure in the Western media. While, officially, their covert
activities have ceased, traffic continues to be sent out to their agents, though on a smaller scale!
The original size of the KGB's numbers network was comparable only to that of the CIA, and similar to the CIA, the KGB
located some of it's numbers stations outside of the Soviet Union in Warsaw Pact countries. This particular station transmits
in four languages; Russian, German, English and Spanish, using a mixture of male and female voices.
Format 1
1. Transmission Format
Preamble: 861 861 861 861 861
The preamble begins at ten-minute intervals beginning of the hour and is repeated for four minutes. 861 is a typical message
address identifier. If no traffic is to be broadcast then the preamble used is:
861 861 861 00000
Message: 734 734 80 80
42878 42878 35465 35465 77868 77868....
734 734 80 80
00000.
734 is most probably the positioning index, and 80 the group count.
Traffic is transmitted at 10 groups per minute and presented by computer synthesised male or female voices. The reasons
as to why English and Spanish broadcasts use a female voice, and Russian and German broadcasts use male voices is
unknown. Note that some English broadcasts use a male voice to replace the usual female voice. Pronunciation is mostly
standard in all four cases.
Russian Spanish
1. odyeen 6. shest 1. uno 6. seis
2. di-va 7. syem 2. dos 7. siete
3. tree 8. vossyeem 3 tres 8. otto
4. chyetiri 9. dyevyet 4. cuatro 9. nueve
5. pyat 0. noil 5. tinco 0. cero
German
1. eins 6. zechs
2. svo 7. zeiben
3. dri 8. acht
4. feir 9. noin
5. funf 0. noll
2. Additional Broadcasts. Aside from the usual format broadcasts, this station often repeatedly transmits single five digit
groups, such as 11444 and 00000. The exact purpose of these transmissions is unknown, however it can be assumed that
00000 means "No traffic." One possibility ventures that broadcasts of this type are identical to the SYN1755 15 type
MOSSAD broadcasts, which are used to relay single items of traffic to agents, thus the group 11444 may have meant
"There are ten new microfilms at the dead letter box."
A second interesting side note concerning this station is that a second voice has been used for some of the Russian
broadcasts. Its use is not predictable and is often used on a single day within a schedule. Such occurrences are believed to
be a sort of audio highlighting of the traffic, intended to draw specific attention to its "higher than normal priority traffic".
Similarly, a male voice has been noted replacing the female voice in some of the English broadcasts.
3. Transmission Schedule Similar to other Slavic stations such the that operated by the DIE, this station's scheduling is
undoubtedly obscure. However, a certain number of the Russian transmissions have been organised into an extremely
lengthy schedule. Broadcasts in this schedule are rebroadcast each day at the same time for five days, and then are off-air
for two, usually Fridays and Saturdays. One such schedule lasted well over six months, although during several weeks of
that period transmissions were not broadcast. Other transmissions have been heard exactly one year after first being heard,
an indication that some sort of schedule is in operation. Generally, broadcasts are repeated exactly 24 hours after first
being aired on exactly the same frequency.
The KGB connection seemed to be quite strong in some monitors minds, as one put it:I believe that all broadcasts that end
with the 00000 type sign-off are sent bythe KGB...."
And if that does not convince you that these transmissions are KGB sponsored, another monitor revealed:
"The transmitters used by the KGB for these numbers are the same ones they use
for stations like Radio Moscow World Service. Thai's why so many of the frequencies end in either 5 or 0 kHz!"
This last comment may not be so far from the truth! Judge it for yourself
4. Russian Operating Frequencies:
4650 kHz 6380 kHz 7520 kHz
4710kHz 6745kHz 7840kHz
4920 kHz 6806 kHz 8630 kHz
5521 kHz 6873 kHz 9085 kHz
5730kHz 6910kHz 9240kHz
7. German Operating Frequencies: Amplitude Modulation
10070 kHz
14408 kHz
Format 2
This next station broadcasts is Russian and English, and is believed to form part of the KGB's extensive communications
directorate.
1. Transmission Format: The preamble begins at ten minute intervals beginning
on the hour, and is repeated for five minutes. 221 is the message identifier, while
1 refers to the number of messages in the broadcast.
Preamble: 221 221 2211
Message: 196 65 196 65
50637 76381 27319 45224 73207 000 000.
196 is the one-time pad positioning index, and 65 the group count.
Traffic is presented at 10 groups per minute by a synthesised male voice in either Russian or English. Pronunciations
generally standard, however several monitors have commented on the presence of an Irish accent in the English
broadcasts.
Russian
1. adyeen 6. shest
2. dva 7. syem
3. tree 8. vossyeem
4. chyetiri 9. dyevyet
5. pyat 0. Noll
In the event that no traffic is available for transmission, the preamble reverts to the standard five minute "I have nothing for
you type broadcast:
"221 221 221 000"
A truly accurate schedule has never been obtained for either language broadcast and therefore it is often by chance that
one stumbles over a transmission.
3. English Operating Frequencies: Amplitude Modulation or Lower Sideband
6765 kHz 11422 kHz
6776 kHz 13205 kHz
6915kHz 20222 kHz
Format 3
The following three stations can only be tentatively to the KGB numbers network.
1. Transmission Format: The preamble contains a three digit message identifier and the number of messages in the
broadcast. It is repeated for five minutes and begins on the hour and 20, 30 and 40 minutes after the hour.
Preamble: 774 774 774 1
When no traffic is available for broadcast, the transmission reverts to the form:
Preamble: 137 137 137 000
Message: Achtung!
18653 52
18653 52
88501 65252 82625 91622 54844.... 000 000 Ende.
The number 18653 is the coded one-time pad start group, with the group count being represented by the number 52. Traffic
is presented at 10 groups minute by a German computer synthesised soft female voice. The accent is very definitely
German, although one gets the feel that one has heard this voice somewhere else, but as far as I can see, the voice is not
shared with any other station.
1. eins 6. sechs
2. tsvo 7. seiben
3. drei 8. acht
4. fier 9. noin
5. funnef 0. noIl
2. Transmission Schedule The following list is a very' limited overview of a much more extensive broadcast schedule,
however this list gives some idea of how the schedule is arranged.
あなたが聞いたのは、多分The English Man Numbers, Russian Intelligence, Enigma code E6 or E7です。
『00000』で終了するのがE6,『000 000』の場合がE7です。多分前者と思います。

o New Star Broadcasting Station.
author: Hans van den Boogert, Taipei, Taiwan
This is a report about the NEW STAR BROADCASTING STATION, or Xin Xing
Guangbo diantai in Mandarin Chinese. I have observed this station on
the following frequencies: 8300, 9725 and 11430, where the latter two
seem to be alternates both featuring the third program. Reception is
clear and strong local daytime here in Taiwan (2300-1000 UTC), but
hardly or not audible at night (1200-1600 UTC). I'm not a propagation
expert, so maybe somebody else could give some educated guesses about
a possible location.
New Star seems to have different services, or programs. Each frequency
identifies itself as "the third" or "the fourth" program ("di san tai"
or "di si tai"). Content is different, but program format is the same.
Broadcasts range from 5 to 40 minutes and I recorded a broadcast on
8300 kHz in October as typical case.
In order to save my energy I hereby give a list of Chinese cardinal
numbers. Ordinal numbers are formed by putting "di" in front of the
cardinal number.
Chinese numbers from 1-10:
1 = yi 7 = qi
2 = er 8 = ba
3 = san 9 = jiu
4 = si 10 = shi
5 = wu 20 = er-shi
6 = liu 26 = er-shi-liu
Transmission details:
Transmissions usually start at the hour, e.g. 0400, 0500, 0600, with
a traditional piece of Chinese music as interval signal, featuring a
flute. Once you hear it you never forget it. Usually two women are
featured: one for the general announcements, the other for the
messages. They are both recorded and this clearly shows in the coded
messages which suffer from lack of proper intonation. The outline of
the transmissions is as follows:
Station ID + program ID. An example:
Zheli shi Xin Xing Guangbo diantai, di si tai (2x)
[Here is New Star Broadcasting Station, the fourth program]
Call for particular units (danwei) that cables (dianbao) are coming.
These stations have 4 or 5 letter call-signs. Also indicated is the
month and number (...yue, ......th report) of the cables and how many
cable characters (dianwen) it consists off. An example:
.........you 5-3-2-5-3 danwei [.....for unit 5-3-2-5-3], shi yue fen
di yi hao dianbao [October 1st cable], yi fen dian bao dianwen 53 zi
[one cable, 53 characters]. You 4-4-7-1 danwei [for unit 4-4-7-1], shi
yue fen di si hao [October 4th cable], yi fen dianbao dianwen 61 zi
[one cable, 61 characters]. 5-3-2-5-3 danwei 4-4-7-1 danwei zhuyi
chaoshou [Unit 5-3-2-5-3, unit 4-4-7-1, stand by for reception].
This announcement is repeated a couple of times, with the interval
music in between. Then actual code transmissions begin, preceded by
this announcement:
Zheli shi Xin Xing Guangbo diantai, di si tai.
[Here is New Star Broadcasting Station, the fourth program]
Xianzai women.... [Now we....]
kaishi..... [begin...]
baogao gei nin [with the reporting for you].
Qing nin zhuyi, zhunbei chaoshou. [Please stand by for reception]
Then the actual reading of numbers starts in this format, each
number repeated twice. If the cable is finished this is also announced:
9093 9033 8799 8799 9989 9989 1956 1956 4244 4244 3904 3904
9939 9939 8988 8988.
yishang shi gei 4-4-7-1 [The preceding was intended for unit
4-4-7-1], shi yue fen di si hao [October 4th cable], yi fen
dianbao dianwen 61 zi [one cable, 61 characters]. xianzai yijing
bowen wan le [now finished with broadcasting the cable].
Finally the whole broadcast is ended with the following words:

Comments from the Hans:
First a diclaimer: my Chinese is not perfect and Xin Xing's audio is
not that great, so I might have made minor mistakes in translation, or
in copying content (90% is correct though). Even my girlfriend had
trouble understanding the Chinese and she is a native speaker, so there
you go!
I don't want to give too many comments on this station. It seems a
spy station, packaged very nicely, but from where and for whom is
everybody's guess. The Mandarin used sounds like mainland Chinese
Mandarin, but it could as well be from Taiwan. The signal and audio
quality also point to mainland China, but then again, at night this
station is not audible in over here and so it points to Taiwan again.
Maybe it's not a spy station at all. I remember some years back there
was a German number station, also sounding very nice and everybody
thought it came from East Germany. Turned out to come from West Germany
and relaying results of horse racing (this was before the computer
networking craze and turned out to be cheaper and faster than other
means of distribution). Izumi 07月03日（火）14時48分56秒 2001年

Lincolnshire Poacher nbrs, British MI6, ENIGMA code E3
同じくBritish Military Intelligence No6 (MI6)やRoyal Air Force (RAF), Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) によるIranとIraq向けのspy nbrs。地中海のCyprus島とEgypt発のUSB。内容もCherry Ripeと同じ。そっくり！送信開始時と終わりの曲が違うだけ。双子の金髪、美人姉妹nbrs。
こっちの曲名がLincolnshire Poacher (LP), 有名な英国民謡'Pop Goes the Weasel'によく似ていると云う。

LPのCHsのうち12603kHzは大問題。所謂coast stns, マリーンFCのCH 1248, MI6の野郎こんなところで露骨な不法運用。
同一CH, 英国のGKY5, Portishead R. のSitor Aがリストアップ。これは知らんけど深夜には、12602.5kHz, IAR, Rome R., Italy、12603.5kHz, SVS, Athens R., Greeceそして12604.5kHz, 9AR, Rijeka R., CroatiaなどのSitor CW IDがうるさい。LPに重なる。
LPに関する追加事項。
ENIGMA 17によれば、22:00 JSTに15685kHzにて運用中のPersian R. Intrenational, Farsi, Iran はLPの15682kHzとはたったの3kHz違い。Iranよりのjammerは一石二鳥に両者に対応していると云う。因みにPersian R. IntrenationalはIran国内の非合法共産党組織の運用と云う。
そして最近LP ladyの発信地点、EgyptとIsraelが急浮上。15683kHzのV. of Human Rightと16085kHzのFreedom for Iran, Egyptと多分Israelよりのclandestines, どちらもLP ladyとはたったの1kHz違い。
そして21:00より23:00 JSTにはIranからのjammerが挙げてあった。辻褄は合うけどご本家Cyprusとの関連性の記載はない。EgyptもNancy Adam Susan nbrsにLP, 妙なnbrsをいっぱいかかえた怪しげな国家。
さてCRにLP、British MI6, 双子の美人姉妹、ともにBritish accent, いわゆる英国のKing's Englishです。皆さん聞いてやってください。そのnbrsは5FG’sなんだけど最後の数字にaccentがある。語尾を上げる。そして何故かnbrの”9”の発音に特徴がある。『N-nine-nu』のように聞けるんですヨ。そしてすべてEach sent twice.
このCRとLP, British MI6 and SIS, 日本ではよく聞けるのにそのレポートは僅少、その理由がよくわからんのです。わたしは1993年この趣味に復帰してすぐから17499kHzのCR には気づいていました。でも表現方法がまったくわからんかったし、おまけに一時期LPとCRを完璧に混同していた。実際そんなによく似ています。 TO 06月05日（火）18時46分28秒 2001年

USB YL/EE/5FG in progress. First thought this was Lincolnshire
Poacher because each 5FG was repeated. But, when bcst ended at
1245 the tune played, on a clarinet-like organ stop, was not LP,
and was one with which I am not familiar. Rhythm in 4/4 time is in
two measures consisting of two eighth notes & a quarter note, two
eighth notes and a quarter note dotted quarter and three eighth
notes, and a quarter note rest. Tune repeated 6X. (RM)

Cherry-ripe, ripe, I cry,
Full and fair ones, come and busy;
If so be, you ask me where
They do grow? I answer: There.
Where my Julia's lips do smile.
There's the land or cherry isle.
Whose plantations fully show
All the year, where cherries grow
書いてある英単語は簡単なんだが、どうもわかったようでワカラン英詩である。
戻ってCR 嬢、土日と月末の3日間はお休みナンですヨ。公務員+α。いいなぁー。毎回化粧直して再登場! 声はメリハリもあるし彼女綺麗だろうナァ。実際はcomputer generated voice。
この局はEast Asian Timeを使用しています。放送のある2月1日07:00 JSTは、UTCでは1月31日の22:00となるからです。UTCならお休みの筈。月曜の朝だって同様。
