Unusual happenings with inactive radio stations, signaling something big about to happen?

On SKYKING (8992 or 11175 kHz USB) a call sign called “COLLAPSE” which has not been heard since 2001 has just broadcasted 4 messages to numbered stations/units in the last few minutes.

“FUXEBOX” and “Reykjavik,” have also broadcast in the last few days and they haven’t been heard since 1991 (collapse of the Soviet Union).

“COLLAPSE” has sent 3 messages in the last few minutes.

COLLAPSE message one: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1hGyA2GR6HI

Collapse message Two: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ETZ3l9fp0G

Collapse message Three: http://vocaroo.com/i/s03ZI6ui70LY

Message Four from “FLATTOP!” (ANOTHER STATION NOT HEARD IN YEARS!): http://vocaroo.com/i/s01smhgkyNDL

We do not know what these codes mean, but it considered

These are alerts to “All Stations” before the codes are sent. I did my best to record all these but missed recording “the alert phrase” where they said “All stations, all stations.” This has all happened in the last half hour (0230-0304 EST). I didn’t record these or write this up btw, this was a thread from 4chan that popped up on /pol/ Edit: Go here for updateshttp://www.defconwarningsystem.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3269&start=30

AFAIK, nothing, simply wanted off the list.

Bookmarking...interesting thread.

They were used to train those with specific tasks within the network and to avoid establishing any pattern in time and frequency of messages.

In other words, in your opinion probably part of normal military training and exercises? That’s what is “sounds” like to me. ; )

What did the messages say?

The website referenced is just a civilian repository for audio recordings of the broadcast. As for the messages themselves, the first one read:

QSWOR2YQ4PZNWNO56KOPHGWWZEK64S

The second one read:

QSSFB7M3ZF2G6UGRF4KJSAIK7WWTFP

I gave up after that. Coded, obviously, and without the code book, hopeless.

Active Duty ping.

Most likely. I haven’t seen any other evidence to suggest otherwise. Those who have nothing to do better than listen to this traffic may have a different opinion, but then you have to ask yourself why they don’t have any thing better to do.

Me, too.

Things that make you go “Hmmm...”

"John has a long moustache.”

You may not have the fame, you may not have the cash, but you'll make that girl your own, if you've only got a moustache. "A million ways to die in the west."

Arent ham operators becomng fewer in number?

You’re saying it’s ‘us’ sending the messages?

[GOPJ]

Gotta admit....it's just the tiniest bit frightening.

What's your 'worst case'?

[GOPJ]

Skyking is a call sign used in the MEECN network by ABNCP... Sorry, I can't say any more other than if there was something to worry about we'd all be dead already.

Is that like a 47 minute warning?

I recall reading about these “old” spy radio stations. Some are still around.

The most famous was (is?) “The Buzzer” in Russia.

Yes, but there are still plenty of us. A little 2-meter handheld can be a lifesaver when eveything else is down.
