For decades, carefully selected sites on Mauritius and Rodrigues have been among our favourite hot spots for overseas monitoring missions in the tropics. The small island of Rodrigues, see the photo on the left, is surrounded by a reef three times larger than the surface of the island itself! From here it's thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean to the Antarctic, Arabia, Australia, India, Madagascar and Southeast Asia. There is no industry, no people, no traffic = no interference and no static noise - and ample space for hundreds of meters of antennas ... One particular good radio monitoring location on the "mainland" is the Maujean Bungalow on the north slope of Le Morne Brabant Mountain, see the photo on the right where Air Mauritius' AIRBUS A340-300 3B-NAT is on the final approach to runway 31 of Sir Sewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport near Plaisance, further down the coastline. Thirty years ago all pilots of the then few Air Mauritius planes were from what we call Safrica, and their favourite stopover place between flights was the pretty basic Blue Lagoon Beach Hotel. The photo shows Le Morne Brabant Mountain on the left, and the south coast near Baie du Cap (the dark-blue break in the white-surf reef) and the vast sugar cane fields of Bel Ombre Estate. Behind Le Morne is the village of Black River where you can trek into the new National Park and all the way up to Le Petrin on the highland, passing superb lookouts with excellent views across the large sugar cane fields down to the coast. Even better, take a taxi up to the central plateau and walk down to the coast - there's even a superb unknown trail down to Chemin Grenier near Bel Ombre where you can catch the bus back to civilization. The small peak on the highlands just above Le Morne is the highest point of Mauritius, Black River Mountain, an easy 1½ hours walk providing stunning views as well.

A brandnew CD gives you more than 6,000 (six thousand!) digital data decoder screenshots from our continuous HF radio monitoring between 1997 and today! See 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations for more information such as schedules and traffic details. All frequencies are in kHz, and all system times are UTC. Our guidebook Radiotelex Messages includes hundreds of similar screenshots; that unique collection will give you an excellent overview on the state of the art in this fascinating field: think of worldwide terrorist networks using HF e-mail! For good reasons we lay particular stress on the fact that all screenshots were directly supplied by co-operating COMINT and ELINT and SIGINT units, equipment manufacturers abroad, and foreign radio monitoring experts beyond the reach of teutonic jurisdiction (German "authorities" simply click here!): just send us a short e-mail and attach a standard .w40 or .w41 or .w51 or .w61file, then we have even your system's timestamps! The following - very recent! - screenshots were taken and uploaded independently to this pooling webpage by our worldwide net of cooperators, using advanced equipment such as the superb Wavecom Digital Data Decoders. A straight message to all users of inadequate hard- and software: you cannot repeat CAN NOT! decode really complex protocols - such as all those revealing customer-specified PACTOR-2 multi-channel DBPSK DQPSK D8PSK D16PSK etc. systems with Huffman or pseudo-Markov compression and additional run-length encoding - by means of cheap hobbyist decoders, let alone through a computer soundcard!

You can easily "translate" this text by means of our Radio Data Code Manual and state-of-the-art technology such as WAVECOM Digital Data Decoders and Microsoft Windows. The procedure can be fully automated: 1. mark the text that you wish to translate; 2. copy it into the clipboard (using String-C); 3. go to your word processing software such as Microsoft Word for Windows and open a new document; 4. copy the contents of the clipboard into the document; 5. save this document somewhere under e.g. arabic.doc; 6. record a macro that replaces character for character according to our code tables (this is case-sensitive: search for capital letters such as A and change them to small letters such as q, B to ch, C to t, etc.). Needless to say, different alphabets such as standard Arabic, or Cyrillic, or third-shift Cyrillic, or third-shift Korean, or any simple substitutions such as those used by certain diplomatic and military radionets, require different macros. The whole procedure takes not more than a few seconds - for any length of text! The result is Arabic phonetic text; 7. search for words, if necessary use our vocabulary. A very good Arabic-English dictionary that we have used for decades is The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic. It says on page 780 that qa'ida means foundation, groundwork; basis; fundament; base; support, socle, foot, pedestal; chassis, undercarriage; precept, rule, principle, maxim; formula; method, manner, mode; model, pattern.

You can easily "translate" this text by means of our Radio Data Code Manual and state-of-the-art technology such as WAVECOM Digital Data Decoders and Microsoft Windows. The procedure can be fully automated: 1. mark the text that you wish to translate; 2. copy it into the clipboard (using String-C); 3. go to your word processing software such as Microsoft Word for Windows and open a new document; 4. copy the contents of the clipboard into the document; 5. save this document somewhere under e.g. arabic.doc; 6. record a macro that replaces character for character according to our code tables (this is case-sensitive: search for capital letters such as A and change them to small letters such as q, B to ch, C to t, etc.). Needless to say, different alphabets such as standard Arabic, or Cyrillic, or third-shift Cyrillic, or third-shift Korean, or any simple substitutions such as those used by certain diplomatic and military radionets, require different macros. The whole procedure takes not more than a few seconds - for any length of text! The result is Arabic phonetic text; 7. search for words, if necessary use our vocabulary. A very good Arabic-English dictionary that we have used for decades is The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic. It says on page 780 that qa'ida means foundation, groundwork; basis; fundament; base; support, socle, foot, pedestal; chassis, undercarriage; precept, rule, principle, maxim; formula; method, manner, mode; model, pattern.
