Hi,
if you heard them on the band, with messages of 5 character groups,
then you heard a military service from the CIS, Russian or Ukrainian
Military. They both use mostly still CW for their comms. They usualy
using tactical callsigns of 4 characters, the naval forces also using
sometimes real callsigns like RMP (Russian Baltic Fleet HQ Kaliningrad)
RCV (HQ Moscow), RIT (Northern Fleet HQ Severomorsk) or
- BTW, RMP is famous for the single letter beacon "P" - etc.
Vessels (units/mission) callsigns are Rxxx (RMCV) or from the format RIC87.
Ukrainian naval forces using real callsigns too, but today very seldom, e.g.
UTN37 etc.
BTW, they are NO intruder, even in an exclusive (80m is NOT) amateur radio
band, as the ITU bandplan allocation table is only valid for civil frequency
coordination, but most military forces from the "civilized" have an own
frequency coordiantion board which normaly follows the ITU bandplans too.
73, Tom - DL8AAM
