Conclusion of exercise time frame. During this exercise there were two separate record number of character messages. one was 166 and the one today was the all time high of 216. Messages were mostly in the 1/4 hr segments, versus top and bottom of the hour. Several messages did not match on the repeat, which I'm guessing would be the exercise. Sometimes there would be several hours of no traffic at all, but I could catch some conversation of military mostly on the Russian side. I even caught and reported about what I heard with the wording of sunk. Checking back, it was during the time of the incident on the Black Sea.
Since the exercises are supposed to be completed, I will no longer make daily reports of radio traffic. The only reason this was done this time, versus other exercises in the past was because of this war time footing or special operation or what ever in the hell you want to call it. The times in the past were on a peacetime footing and mostly on a defcon 5 rating. I'm just hoping that at least some of the worldwide tension will let up a bit.
Russia's exercises will continue for a while longer, but my knowledge of the language is not that strong to report or even formulate an opinion.
NOW, just as an FYI, I will continue to monitor, but I won't make a report unless there's something out of the norm. IF there is an authentication (God forbid) given, yes, I will post immediately. You can't rely on platforms like twitter or other newer technologies. Old school analog shortwave is still the best way to get immediate information.
