- 4XZ Morse Station - a Morse station run by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) Navy in Haifa. It repeatedly sends VVV DE 4XZ 4XZ = = when it’s not actively sending messages. It simultaneously broadcasts 24/7 on multiple frequencies 2680, 4331, and 6607 kHz. Sometimes it can be found on others. Each section of the message begins with the recipients callsign (letter, letter, digit, letter), the message number, a 2-letter ID which uses are unknown, and then the group count. All digit sequences in 4xz are written in reverse order since Hebrew is read from right to left. One message can be addressed to more than on call sign. In this case, call signs are separated by commas. Another way it sends messages to multiple call signs is by writing the first call sign, then “L-“, and the next call sign. The purpose of these two different formats is unknown. 4xz occasionally sends service messages. There are two types of these: Delete messages: HL9Q NR 723 TO NR 133 QQL (the call sign used in those typically does not receive 5 letter groups) and Confirm reception: AM0B QSL NR 13.
- VC01 – The Chinese Robot - VC01 is a military station that sends Chinese numbers very quickly (approx. 3 numbers per second). It was nicknamed the Chinese Robot after it’s automated robotic voice. They change the frequencies based day and nighttime propagation so it’s available for a wide range of time. VC01 has been active since 2000 and is operated by the Chinese Air Defense. The station constantly sends messages in groups of numbers, separated by pauses. It’s been rarely observed that phrases in Mandarin will sometimes be spoken before a group. Some broadcasts will send the numbers slower than usual. It constantly sends numbers 24/7 on two frequencies at the same time. Sometimes VC01 frequencies use a live male operator. They talk at normal speed and use the station for radio checks. They do not use the fixed monthly frequencies like the automated numbers do. VC01 also might change its signal in mid-transmission in some instances.
- The Japanese Slot Machine – XSL; a Japanese military station that transmits data in the form of QPSK (quadrature phase-shift keying) at 1500 Bd. The station operates 24/7 on several different frequencies at the same time. There are many common frequencies that it has used since its existence. XSL is strongly believed to be a digital communications system used by the Japanese Navy. This signal is transmitted from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force Ichihara Transmitting Station (海上自衛隊市原送信所) in Ichihara, Japan to nearby ships. This station was named “The Japanese Slot Machine” since it’s idle traffic signal loosely resembles slot machine sounds. ENIGMA 2000 has also given this station the ID XSL.
