The remaining CW traffic is delivered 24/7 simultaneously on 2680, 4331, 6607 and 10231 kHz. At present, it is used to deliver about 900 5-letter group messages a month, and 10 to 30 new ones appear daily. While it still exists, its relevance has been reduced since mid 2000s - for example, it no longer broadcasts weather bulletins. More frequencies, in upper bands, are added when Israeli Navy exercises take place.

Example traffic list: (always delivered at full hour):

GN4F NR 123 ES GR 23 = =
GN9E NR 023 OS GR 19 = =
TS7J NR 913 ES GR 21 = =
GN7J NR 813 OS GR 25 = =
GN9E NR 713 KS GR 34 = =

Each item of the traffic list consists of the recipient call sign (letter, letter, digit, letter), the message number, a 2-letter code of unknown purpose, and the group count. All digit sequences in 4XZ are written in reverse order. (due to Hebrew right-to-left writing order)

One message may be addressed to more than one call sign, but this rarely happens. In that case, the call signs are separated by commas. Another form of delivery to multiple call signs, slightly more common, is writing one call sign, "L-", and another call sign - the meaning of this is unknown.

The traffic list occasionally carries service messages, which exist only on the traffic list. There are two types of those:

  • Delete messages: HL9Q NR 723 TO NR 133 QQL (the call sign used in those typically does not receive 5 letter groups)
  • Confirm reception: AM0B QSL NR 13 (the number is not a number of a message)
