Interesting NSA-like spectra of signals caught over Leningrad

There are two predictable channels, all active this weekend, understandably as Russia got all hot and bothered and rattled sabres at Poland.

In the second screenshot, the Wave application in the Skip One Sample mode shed some light on the high rate transmission session.

The Code300 equipment have been useless. Note the characteristic flower pattern of the SK material. A while later a directional info0matiuon has been obtained, placing the source of the signals somewhere in the environs of the Kirov shipyards, aimed at Russian cruisers scurrying around in the Baltic just east of Poland.

A little bit of Russian diplograms across the Baltic during the Georgian fray

Just to be cheeky, hereunder I bring you a sample of a Russian Diplomatic message sent this Saturday most likely either from an antenna farm in northern Russia, or from a Slava-class cruiser based in Kaliningrad westwards to an embassy in Copenhagen or London.

Their are still using the true and tried 20-tone MFSK.
Here is the transmission decoded:

Again, this is a decoded transmission, not unbuttoned, (not deciphered). Of course, they are using a one-time pad, (note the 5-digit groups)

Also worthy of note is the S6 and S9 number station-like S code, which is associated with the Russian Man numbers station known for saying funny and innocent things in English.

How you can never bank goodwill with bears

There is a lot of things abuzz both sides of the ditch. I don't mean the latest warmongering by Russia, or Georgia. There are reports that Selma on the Baltic is really abuzz for the forth day straight, because it is a military district and a base for naval operations. Russians afraid to leave their back door open?

Russian AGIs (SVVs) sailed westwards, as if the Britain's one-funny-cruiser navy could attack her. Or Swedish closed-cycle subs would launch heretofore unknown Swedish cruise missiles (probably and suitable named Thorstann, or Thorshammer),

My friends behind the bear's curtain assert that this no cover-your-back state of readiness. Really. the clsoest US aircraft carrier is busy dodging Iranian model paper-and-glue airplanes.

Russians, namely Putin, are exploiting hte opportunity in this turmoil, as most intelligence agencies THINK they are using their HUMINT, SIGINT and ELINT on catching whatever breadcrumbs that are falling off the bear's feeding trough. Russians are achieving their goals in Georgia, but northwards, in the Baltic, and in the Red Banner Northern Fleet's own swimming pool they are busy investing in their reaffirming their exclusive access rightn to the Arctic.

Don't forget Sweden's refusal to allow routing of the Northern Stream (Russia's northern pipeline) to feed the Europe.Besides the tit-for-tat diplo-military posturing (also keep in mind that Russia, as USSR and Czar's Empire has NEVER banked goodwill). Swedes were smart, calling Russians' intention to use the pipeline as a excuse to place SOSUS-like high-tech sensors close to Skaane shores. Russian AGIs, oceanographic ships (the academics) and, actually, the cable ships themselves have been spotted waltzing up and down the Bornholm corridor.

While Medved Prived is moving tin soldiers across the cardboard, the electromagnetic spectrum over the Karelia and the Eystrasalt (the Baltic Sea to the Scandinavians, or Vikings) is full of inteersting digital activity. I need to brush up on my FSKs and screenshot application, I means Fireshot, a great Firefox add-on. Thanks for the heads up through the post.

A comment requested to withhold the BAE spy materials from posting

I have received a comment that was intended as a message, with a request that I rewrite it to eliminate any idiosyncratic features of the sender.

He strongly recommended that I do not post the BAE letter circulating in Moscow (see the previous post):

I don't know what you do for a living, but if you need to keep making beer money with this blog, it would be in your better interests to avoid publishing the BAE materials. There are people in Russia and UK who know how to black hat your blog till it gets barely a visitor a month.

Thanks you, Mr. Compassionate. Not that I am afraid, I undestand I need to prepare the materials better.
