Manual for the reception of our broadcast messages
After having read and worked on this manual closely, you will be
able to receive our broadcast messages continously. The broadcast
is a especially well suited way of communication because it is
fast (the message arrives at your place at the very same
moment it is sent), because it is riskless (the receipient
of broadcast messages cannot be located) and because it is
reliable (one cannot interrupt the radio waves on their
way to you-in contrast to a mail which can be intercepted). The
only possibility to hinder our radio communication with you would
be to jam the radio, like the "ULBRICHT'schen Friedensfreunde" do
continously against westgerman radio broadcasts as they are
frightened of the truth. However, even under jamming one is still
able to hear our transmission as you will see in this manual.
We first list the devices and papers which you will need to
receive our broadcast messages:
- what you have or need to get:
- 1 radio receiver with middlewave reception, the device should
further have a connector for an antenna and earth as well as a
connector for a second speaker.
- what you will get from us:
- 1 supplementary reception device (we call it "Converter") with
belonging cable
- 1 battery connector device (we call it the "Staff")
- 4 frequency sticks (they are labeled in r e d with 1, 1A, 2,
2A)
- 1 earphone with cable and bipolar plug
- 1 reception programme with your callnumber
- 1 conversion method
- 1 keyband
When you now tune into our broadcast service, please go through
the following
Manual
closely and perform all steps in the described order:
-
Take the Converter with plugged Staff:
Connect a 4.5 volts battery (as they are used for flashlights)
to the cables coming from the Converter, while the red cable should
connect with the positive pole of the battery (that is the short
tongue), the black cable to the other pole of the battery, by
plugging the flashlight-battery poles into the clamps of the red
and the black cable. (If you are unable to get a 4.5V flat battery,
you could take every other battery which serves 4.5V DC).
The Converter is now ready to use.
-
Now turn on your radio device and connect the Converter using
the supplied cable in the following manner:
-
cable plug "1" into socket "1" of the Converter all the way to
the stop
cable plug "2" to the antenna connector of your radio
cable plug "3" in the earth of your radio
-
Connect your radio antenna using a normal banana plug to the
socket "4" of the Converter (this "normal banana plug" should, as
usual, consist of a pin with a length of 2cm and a thickness of
4mm). If you listened until now without an antenna, put an about 3
to 4m long, isolated wire to which you screw named banana plug in
your room to receive our service.
-
By plugging the antenna into socket "4" of the Converter, the
Converter activates itself as a supplementary reception device (do
not forget to turn it off after usage, i.e. unplug the antenna from
socket "4" as the battery drains uselessly otherwise).
-
Now take your "reception programme" and choose according to it
from the 4 frequency sticks (1, 1A, 2, 2A) the two ones which are
listed after the reception time at which you want to receive. One
of these two sticks has now to be plugged into socket "F" of the
Converter (for an example, lets assume you would read the following
in your "reception programme":
" Mittwoch 2000 - 2100 1 oder 1 A " etc.
you would then have to preposition frequency sticks 1 and 1A).
If you notice that reception is bad with the first used stick,
swap it against the prepositioned other one (e.g.: if you wanted to
listen with frequency stick 1 but it is jammed, you had to plug 1A
is socket "F").
-
Now connect the supplied earphones to the socket for a second
speaker on your radio. Your radio speaker should turn off
automatically. If the radio speaker cannot be turned off or a
socket for a second speaker (or earphones) does not exist, you have
to listen to our broadcast using the speaker. Please note
that you always listen to our broadcast exactly so loud
that your neighbour can in under no circumstances listen
too!!!
-
After you have all devices which you need for reception
in place start to listen to our radio service (the characteristics
to recognize our radio service will be listed at number 4 of this
manual) and configure the reception devices in the following
manner:
-
Turn on your radio on middle wave range and tune it using the
tune knob (that is the rotary knob with which you usually search
and setup stations on your radios scale) to approximately 1500 kHz
(200 meters).
-
Turn the disc "D" of the Converter (with scale) until the white
point points to 3.5 (instead of 3.5 you may also have to set 4,
this orients on what is given in the column "Converter-Scale" in
your "reception programme"; e.g. if you read "Mittwoch 2000 - 2100
1 oder 1A 3.5", you have to set 3.5 with disc "D", if its "Mittwoch
2200 - 2300 2 oder 2A 4", 4 is to be set).
-
Start to sensitively rotate and search around 1500kHz (200
meters) using the tuning knob of your radio at the beginnig of your
reception time given in the "reception programme" to
schedule until you hear our broadcast station (how you
recognize it will be described at number 4).
Then use disk "D" of the Converter to adjust the volume until
you can listen well (when listening with speaker set it
quiet!), if neccessary make further adjustments with
tuning and volume knobs of the radio to gain better audibility of
our radio service station. On radios with magic eye tube this can
also be used as fine tuning help.
-
If you cannot hear our radio service station or if it is very
noisy, you have to swap the frequency sticks as we described above
namely if following your "reception programme"
- you are using frequency stick 1, use 1A
- you are using frequency stick 2, use 2A
After frequency stick switch always repeat tuning with the
tuning knob between 1400 and 1600 kHz (215 or 190 meters) as
described under c).
-
When searching the radio service station you also have to
consider a possible inaccurate calibration of your radio. That is
why you would have to search much broader around 1500 kHz (200
meters) if you cannot hear our station.
Maybe also the polarity of the battery for the Converter is
wrong, in that case you have to switch over poles and repeat the
whole reception procedure.
-
How do you listen to a message for you on our radio
service?
-
Our radio service broadcasts at the times given at your
"reception programme"-among other messages-also such for y o u.
Note down all transmissions which are subjected to you. You
recognize your transmissions by the three-digit call number which
is mentioned at the beginning of each transmission. You can find y
o u r three-digit call number at the upper right corner of your
"reception programme".
-
Our radio service station broadcasts at the days and times given
in your "reception programme" from the full hour on until
about 5 minutes after the full hour a pause signal which
is played by a flute and always consists of a repeating, monodic
tones. These tones consist of two series of ascending and two
series of descending tones in one octave.
During this 5 minute span at the beginning of the full hour,
namely during the flute pause signal, you have to have found our
radio service station and adjusted it to be well audible so that
you can record the following transmission which will contain the
message for you.
- 5 minutes after the ufull our (i.e. when the flute pause signal
stops) the announcement of our radio service starts with the
subscriber list (We call it subscriber list as the various
subscribers of our radio service are called with their call number
and the group count of their transmissions in that list. There are
no transmissions in that list yet.)
In the subscriber list you will also hear so called keywords
which have no meaning for you.
We want to show you how the announcement of the subscriber list
(after the flute pause signal) may sound using the following
example:
"Guten Abend! Wir beginnen mit der Durchsage unseres Rundspruches. Kennwörter: Wiese - Wiese, Schlange - Schlange, Vogel - Vogel, Eiche - Eiche", etc. (you do not need to take care for the keywords)
"Es liegen Mitteilungen vor"(now you need to take special care)"für null acht neun - null acht neun, einsundzwanzig Gruppen - zwo eins Gruppen, eins eins sechs - eins eins sechs, achtunddreissig Gruppen - drei acht Gruppen, sieben eins sieben - sieben eins sieben, zwoundachtzig Gruppen - acht zwo Gruppen", etc
[ Translation of the above
"Good evening! We start with the announcement of our transmission. Keywords: meadow-meadow, snake-snake, bird-bird, oak-oak", etc. (you do not need to take care for the keywords)
"There are messages"(now you need to take special care"for zero eight nine-zero eight nine, twenty-one groups-two one groups, one one six-one one six, thirty-eight groups-three eight groups, seven one seven-seven one seven, eighty-two groups-eight two groups", etc.
]
So far the announcement of the subscriber list.
-
As soon as the subscriber list is announced completely the
announcement of the transmissions follows after a short
pause.
This could sound e.g. like the following:
"Achtung null acht neun! Achtung null acht neun! Ihre Mitteilung besteht aus einundzwanzig Gruppen, ich wiederhole zwo eins Gruppen
[pause]
95427 95427 18220 18220 66143 66143 "etc.... (until the remaining digit groups for subscriber 089 have been named completely)."Ende der Mitteilung für 089, ich wiederhole: Ende der Mitteilung für 089
[pause]
Achtung 116! Achtung 116! Ihre Mittleilung besteht aus 38 Gruppen, ich wiederhole" etc.
[ Translation of the above
"Attention zero eight nine! Attention zero eight nine! Your message consists of twenty-one groups, repeat two one groups
[pause]
95427 95427 18220 18220 66143 66143 "etc.... (until the remaining digit groups for subscriber 089 have been named completely)."End of transmission for 089, repeat: end of transmission for 089
[pause]
Attention 116! Attention 116! Your message consists of 38 groups, repeat..."etc.
]
So far the pattern for a transmission.
-
The end of the announcement of all transmissions is advertised
as following:
"Ende des Rundspruches, ich wiederhole: Ende des Rundspruches."
[ Translation of the above
"End of transmission, repeat: end of transmission."
]
The time until the beginning of the next full hour is filled
with the flute pause signal.
-
For the announcement of tranmissions the following should be
remarked:
the parts consisting of 5 digit groups are said in a specific
way, namely gets each digit group repeated immediately. They are
also pronounced in a certain rhythm (e.g. 1 2 *3* 4 *5*), that is
with stress on the 3rd and 5th digit and a small pause between 3rd
and 4th digit so that you can listen and note easier.
the digits are pronounced in the following way:
| 1=ains |
4=vi-ärr |
7=sie-ben |
0=nuhl |
| 2=zwo |
5=fün-nef |
8=acht |
| 3=drai |
6=sechs |
9=noi-en |
How does the decryption of the transmissions you noted
work?
The messages announced for your call number are encrypted and
thus only understandable by you. You perform the decryption of the
messages using the "conversion method" and the "keyband" as
described in the following. We show you how to proceed when
decrypting a message using the following exemplar:
-
First follows the record of a rtansmission as an example like
you could have heard it on our radio service:
"4 5 4 1 8
4 5 4 1 8
62421 62421 89246 89246 47689 47689 21605 21605
92658 92658 56623 56623 52170 52170 24923 24923
54344 54344 77975 77975 73183 73183 99841 99841
65823 65823 66507 66507 37152 37152 85510 85510
24367 24367 01372 01372 "
Explanation
454 is an assumed call number, 18 he amount of groups of the
following trnasmission, first noted from the subscriber list, then
noted before t he actual announcement of the message. The following
5 digit groups have to be written down exactly with repeats.
-
Write each digit group this time without repeats down again with
bigger line spacing (and not more than 5 digit groups per line) on
a new sheet of paper. We do the same with our exemplar, which looks
like this:
" 6 2 4 2 1 8 9 2 4 6 4 7 6 8 9 2 1 6 0 5 9 2 6 5 8
5 6 6 2 3 5 2 1 7 0 2 4 9 2 3 5 4 3 4 4 7 7 9 7 5
7 3 1 8 3 9 9 8 4 1 6 5 8 2 3 6 6 5 0 7 3 7 1 5 2
8 5 5 1 0 2 4 3 6 7 0 1 3 7 2"
-
The first digit group of the recorded transmission corresponds
to the key groupwhich shows you with which digit group on
your "key band" you have to start the decryption of your
transmission. You find the key group on your "key band" at the
beginning of a line.
Now take your "key band" and search on it for the key group of
the recorded transmission, write down the following digit groups
above the groups of the noted transmission written down
without repeats on the second sheet.
In our exemplar we have assumed the following digit groups as
"key band":
"62421 35468 36535 66004 13073 17730 29632 46484 48728 44000
65427 73515 90098 51919 08016 70353 19523 59372 18485" etc.
And thats how it looks when these digit groups are transferred
from the "key band" to the recorded transmission:
(key group)
" 6 2 4 2 1 3 5 4 6 8 3 6 5 3 5 6 6 0 0 4 1 3 0 7 3
6 2 4 2 1 8 9 2 4 6 4 7 6 8 9 2 1 6 0 5 9 2 6 5 8
1 7 7 3 0 2 9 6 3 2 4 6 4 8 4 4 8 7 2 8 4 4 0 0 0
5 6 6 2 3 5 2 1 7 0 2 4 9 2 3 5 4 3 4 4 7 7 9 7 5
6 5 4 2 7 7 3 5 1 5 9 0 0 9 8 5 1 9 1 9 0 8 0 1 6
7 3 1 8 3 9 9 8 4 1 6 5 8 2 3 6 6 5 0 7 3 7 1 5 2
7 0 3 5 3 1 9 5 2 3 5 9 3 7 2 1 8 4 8 5
8 5 5 1 0 2 4 3 6 7 0 1 3 7 2"
("key band" not needed anymore for exemplar)
We suggest to draw a line below each two lines of digit
groups.
-
Now subtract, beginning from the start, each digit in the second
line from the digit in the first line, that subtract the bottom one
from the above. If the upper digit is smaller than the one below,
add 10 to the upper digit and the digit below is subtracted from
the result, you calculate e.g:
1 minus 3 is 11 minus 3 results in 8.
Please note though that the added number 10 is not lend from
anywhere and thus not reconsidered in the next calculation.
In our exemplar that would give the following, whereas the
meaning of the lines is noted at the margin:
keyband " 6 2 4 2 1 3 5 4 6 8 3 6 5 3 5 6 6 0 0 4 1 3 0 7 3

9 5 8 4 3 9 5 2 6 6 5 8 0 0 0 "
-
The 3rd line created from the calculations-below the
line-already forms together with its digits the text of our
important message for you. You can read and understand this text as
soon as you converted all digits of the 3rd line according to your
"conversion method".
We want to do this conversion according to your "conversion
method" on our exemplar. To do this we extract the named 3rd line
and write it down on another new sheet of paper, again with big
line spacing so that two more lines can be written inbetween.
calc result " 0 0 0 0 0 5 6 2 2 2 9 9 9 5 6 4 5 4 0 9 2 1 4 2 5
translation y 2 2 2 9 9 9 y j b r i e f y

. g r u s s . "
(the remaining three zeros are fillers)
-
In the preceding example the message would have to be read like
the following, by skipping the character "y" as long as it is for
encapsulating names, numbers etc., and by simplifying the numbers
and dates which have been expressed by triplets:
"29 - Brief 17.2. erhalten, Inhalt gut, weiter so. Gruss."
Explanations:
"29" is the increasing number of the message, the sign "-" was
built from the character "j" and means "paragraph, begin of
text"
Finally: Good reception! Remember that this is the best and
fastest connection between us. We can express or answer all wishes
or questions immediately-and for you completely riskless.
