Egypt

The Egyptian diplomatic stations communicate using SITOR and Codan 3012. The contacts always begin using SITOR-A, and typically switch to Codan for the traffic. SITOR-A may be used instead if the message is text and a Codan link may not be established. SITOR-B is used occasionally to broadcast frequency change requests.

In SITOR, the stations use the ATU-80 code to transmit non-romanized Arabic. The messages sent by the stations are usually one of the following:
