SP8WJT/HF8V - RED ARMY RADIOTELEGRAPH SIMULATOR - SP8WJT/HF8V DIPLO SERVICE AND DIPLO TRAFFIC ver. 4.29 This document is not compleste. It was rewriten from RARS source code files. Some items can be missed. OVERVIEW: Diplo service was very specific form of radiocommunication. Stations used SKEDS on given frequencies, soon known as diplomatic channels. This term became widely known. Good operators were employed and they has exchanged traffic which often was in clear text, (press reviews etc), usually only some part of traffic was crypto traffic. In some developed countries very soon telex was introduced, so this caused radiotelegraphy discontinued, but even in such cases often small traffic was noted. Interesting fact: some small countries never had diplo radiocommunication services, but they sent telegrams via telecommunication network, in this case ETAT code was used in telegram preamble. Another very interesting thing is fact that diplo operators often chatted during radio contacts. In some periods many countries used military style tactical callsigns to "hide" their networks, in other fixed ITU callsigns was used.

Since Algeria was occupied by french capitalistic aggressors many operators were trained with french procedures, language and codes. Press reports was always sent daily in P/L FF and high volume of traffic was noted. Real examples of Press Exchange are used (source: [5]). Operation: bugs on all stations, arabic greetings codes, french language opchat.

================================================================================ RMKS: 2 DEDICATED FUNCTIONS. SOME OPCHAT IN POLISH Most of skeds are not original, it was used to simulated this. In fact this class of traffic appeared only in defined time windows on given diplo channels. All diplo traffic will be reworked toward skeds, to "hide" this stations, even if I have not real skeds. Currently some 50% of diplo traffic has some kinds of time constraints. Telegraphic address: POLAMBA ...
