Web Address: Notes on Operation: [SAT] Language: Spanish, French (rarely), English (rarely) MFA ends traffic with "PRENSA MINIREX", embassies with "embacuba" followed by embassy's host country or location. Frequency coordination and other operator chatter by CW. Usually distinctive poorly modulated signals from MFA. Offline encrypted traffic uses 5 figure groups, ending with group count. Many embassies act as regional relays, for example, Embassy Lusaka often relays Asian Embacuba traffic. Use of standard AX.25 Packet Radio on links rumoured to be between Havana and Managua. Distinctive callsigns using pattern of consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel. Link uses 5FGs off-line encrypted traffic with "adt n" used to acknowledge each message.
