Edit 11.10.2012 1405z, typo "ВЕРАМИТИН" corrected to "ВЕРАМИТАН".

Pip sent a message today (10.10.2012) at 1608z on 3756 kHz using a new format.

All the previous messages Pip has sent have been either Для (Dlya) type propagation test messages or "real" messages with a 8С1Щ (8S1Shch) call sign.

The new message is addressed to 3 call signs, two of them are familiar from the 80 call sign rotation pool that is used for the Для (Dlya) propagation test messages, and the remaining one is just one character different (42БВ vs. 62БВ) which might suggest a possible transcription error.

The message structure is similar to the common Buzzer (S28) message format, each call sign having a 2fg 3fg "instruction group" followed by a shared code word and four 2fg groups.

UPDATE!
A new rare message was sent at 1730z on 3756 kHz. This one consisted of 8МУО (8MUO) call sign for the second time ever and included two code word & number groups, a rarity in on itself as this format has only been reported once even from the common call sign 8С1Щ (8S1Shch).

As a side note, there was a Для (Dlya) propagation test message at 1747z which did not include any of the call signs that have received actual traffic today, nor does it list any previously unknown calls.

UPDATE 2!
Heavy traffic with new call signs continues on Pip. Within 22 minutes there were three new messages, all with the 3 calls used at 1608z today, all with similar formats of unique 2fg 3fg "instruction groups" followed by one code word and corresponding numbers.

On the first reading the operator made a mistake: "22...25...25 516", not acknowledging the error he made by reading "25" as "22".

 

Many thanks to everyone involved in monitoring the station, providing recordings and transcriptions!
I'll try to keep you updated on any new developments.
