Web Address: http://www.mfa.gov.tr/ Notes on Operation: [SUN] Language: Turkish, English (rarely) Operator exchanges in CW. Traffic in plain language Turkish or off-line encrypted. Only sparing use made of FEC-100 equipment since the adoption of Rohde & Schwarz RS-ARQ system in Q1/1996. Majority of 240bd 8 tone RS-ARQ traffic consists of standard diplo circulars and messages compressed with PKZIP and therefore sent with the system in 8 bit mode. Zipfile headers give a good clue as to the sender, although this does not conform to a standard: MUSTnnnn.ZIP Multi-addressed messages from MFA BA-dd-nn.ZIP Messages number "nn" from Baku sent on day "dd" AMMAnnnn.ZIP Message number "nnnn" from Amman Operator chatter in between zipfile transfers is very common with MFA and embassies identifying eg "MOSK DE TAD" on the Moscow/Ankara link. No traffic seen in 5 bit (ITA2) mode using the 8 tone RS-ARQ system nor using the 228.7bd RS-ARQ mode, but 228.7bd ALIS is used to establish and check link quality. ALIS procedure takes place 2kHz below CF of 240bd transmission.
