You forgot a letter of the trigram. Without all 6 letters it wont solve the Kenngruppe. However..

Posting your messages here allows anyone of us to decode. However if you want messages from BDU and messages from BDU to you to show on the Enigma board at HQ you still need to use the Enigma form at HQ. I decode those and put them on the board.

I did and it does not work.

Sometimes it can be get back to uppercase, if you edit the post, delete the message body, and copy it right from the Enigma or a text file. However, it does not work always. Which makes me think there is something wrong with the forum software as it was already said above. =)

Can't decode. Before encoding, did you set your Enigma three
rotors to the result of what setting them to HPQ and typing
KGY gives as a result ?

You choose 3 random letters. Type a Kengruppen and use the
result to construct HPQ KGY

But.. before encoding your message you need to set the Enigma
to the Kengruppen you have choosen (one of those can be seen
at the end of the line for the day....)

By using your HPQ KGY I can see you used BSD. But when I set
Enigma to BSD your message does not decode thus.. you did not
set your Enigma to BSD before encoding.

[KL-alfman]

Beren gets intensive training atm.
he already stepped into the correct direction, both messages will be repaired soon. :03:

Well, maybe you have seen that I've opened a new Thread about "Morse Code". I know that maybe it doesn't interest to anybody but please, just as an experiment I propose to you to decode this message using the Morse Code Translator from this link http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html
I hope you'll enjoy listening the morse sound as well as I do.

I'd suggest to report your contacts.
don't forget:
in-game date, heading, speed of contact (all the same if it's a convoy or lone merch)

then I will put into OS :salute:

you did everything correct, JMV!

but The Enigma mistyped the S for Y (see the start of the message):

MESSAGE TO BDU ......

[JMV]

No KL, I could NOT translate the message left by enigma.
I'm currently waiting for his answer.
Also is there a format for sending reports with in-game date, heading, speed of contact etc...
Can you send an example of the formatting.
Thanks.

[JMV]

KL :
I don't get it with the S replacing the Y. the fist S that you can find in this text appears at the 33rd group of 4 letters

This :

MEYY AGET OBDU THIY IYQE YYAG EBAY YEND FROX UYEV ENYE VEKG INUK APTA IIIY YCEE EYWE TTER THEW EATH EHIY FINE LOTY OFYU NYHI NHTN DTEM PERA TURE IYAP PROX TXEN TSDE GJEE YCEL CIUY NOWF NDAN DNOC LOUU YIHO PETH IYME YYAG EWIL LDEC ODEP ROPE ULSN EHDT OPRW CTIC EBUT CANN HTPL ASTH EGAM EIWI LLYE NDMO REME YYAG EYYO ONNJ EERY

means nothing to me. So there is something I must be doing wrong.

[KL-alfman]

No KL, I could NOT translate the message left by enigma.
I'm currently waiting for his answer.
Also is there a format for sending reports with in-game date, heading, speed of contact etc...
Can you send an example of the formatting.
Thanks.


The Enigma (our Flotilla-member) messed up with some typos.

I have no specific format for the contact-reports, but I know what's essential and bring an example:

message to BdU - 1940-03-16 - BF17 - large british convoy - heading SSW - speed 6kn - BB amidst

that would be sufficient, I guess.

[KL-alfman]

KL :
I don't get it with the S replacing the Y.


sorry, it was meant the other way around!
(replacing the Y with an S)

you haven't failed at all!!! :D

[The Enigma]

Yep I was wrong (see my previous post) :doh:

[JMV]

Ok Enigma, I'm getting it now.
It was your mistake Eheheheh ! :haha:

MESSAGE TO BDU THIS IS MESSAGE WAS SEND FROM U SEVEN SEVEN NINE K APTAIN IS SCHEISWETTER THE WEATHER IS FINE LOTS OF SUN SHINE AND TEMPERATURE IS APPROX TWENTY DEGREE SCELCIUS NO WIND AND NO C LOUD SIHO PETH IS MESSAGE WILL DECODE PROPERLY NEED TO PRACTICE BUT CANNOT PLAY THE GAME I WILL SEND MORE MESSAGES SO ON CHEERS

[KL-alfman]

didn't I tell ya, JMV??!! :D

[JMV]

OK both KL, Enigma, will make myself a remainder of the formatting.requested.

So, you need at head of message :

2045/28.02.2010/U432/250/1OF1/ZAB ERA
time/REAL date/sub number/mess. length/mess. part number/Trigrams

+ At head of text proper :

message to BdU /1940-03-16/ BF17/large british convoy /heading SSW /speed 6kn /BB amidst
Designated receiver/in game date/Quadrat/Target object/target direction/
Target speed/Other details

Please tell me if this is correct, and if anything extra needs to be added.
Would it not be necessary to have a 4 digits Quadrat position ?

Thanks.

[JMV]

I am not leaving port yet ( if you don't mind ). :O:
I have to get more familiarized with general formatting procedures.

yes, you're absolutely right!
as with the rest of your post. :yeah:

[JMV]

Thanks KL.

May be even better like this for head of text :
( From the manual )

BDUUU /SDD/1630/1940-03-16/ BF1734/10 sm/large british convoy 20 /Course 202 /speed 6kn /BB amidst

Designated receiver / Urgent ( optional ) / Time / in game date / Target Quadrat / Distance from target /Target object + Nb of ships / Target Heading / Target speed / Other details - Weather etc..

[KL-alfman]

Thanks KL.

would be great to have all these informations!
but not all of them can be uploaded to OS (wheather e.g.).
anyway, it adds to immersion, I guess. :DL

[JMV]

I think it's a detailed enough format, as for OS they only need CONVOY or MERCHANT description and DATE.

OK, thank you KL and LzZ for your help, I go hit the sack now, see you to morrow. :yawn:

BDU Comment - As many of you seem to like this thread I will close down the Enigma transmitter at HQ
and start decoding messages on this thread. If any of you get to a message before me, or see one I
missed please decode it.

CONTINUE to use HQ forContacts and status reports which go to KL.

The Enigma did a great job on this post. He showed the original message and the results.
Please use this format when decoding. I will then cut and paste it to my subsim thread
so other forum members can see it.

great message, bit too long (there should've been a second and third part, I guess).
can't comply transferring data to OS without speed of targets :O:

BDU Comment - This is what it is all about. Well done guys.

[JMV]

Speed of targets were 8 kns.
Do you mean I should report contacts on home page, and not mention it in the rest of the message ?

Something like just :

BdU - urgent - from U-046 - 0806 hour - 04 September 1939 - postition AM3819 - sunk medium cargo and coastal freighter with deck-gun

I know, it was a bit of double use ( but wanted to give an example )
Is it better like this ( above ) ??

[JMV]

Should I resend the contacts again with the speeds ?

[KL-alfman]

no, you haven't to resend.
the speed of targets isn't a mandatory input to OS, I just found it very useful for other Kaleuns. :03:
I already put three contacts to OS today and now the server is a bit lagging. will try again tomorrow.

your message was well done :yeah:

FROM LAST POST

FROM WHAT i CAN UNDERSTAND, SOMETHING NOT QUITE CLEAR :

BATTLE REPORT. CAESAR GUSTAV NINE FOUR SEVEN
FIVE. SUNK DIDO FOR FIVE SIX CENTA TONS . SUNK
ZWO LARGE MERCHANTS "FOR O NESI . MILLE TO NS." ( " = ?? ) [ or could it be : FOR ONE SIX MILLE TONS OR [ FOR ONE SM TO NS }
ATTEMPTING REACQUISITION OF CONVOY AFTER WABO COUNTER ATTACK. ACHILLES.

Thanks don1reed, good hunt to you.

[don1reed]

16000 tons :up:

[JMV]

Thanks don1reed,

However, for this part of the message :

ZWO LARGE MERCHANTS "FOR O NESI . MILLE TONS"

1- Shouldn't you use the word CENTA ( for multiple of thousands i.e. 16.000 tons)
2- sorry, I toox one X for a "Period" when it was a X. So that gives us :

ZWO LARGE MERCHANTS "FOR ONE SIX MILLE TONS"

3- What is "MILLE" ? MILLE means one Thousand in french ?

Thanks, and sorry about that, just trying to write by the rules.

No hard feeling, I hope. I make mistakes too, OK ? :88)

[don1reed]

2 zeros centa
3 zeros mille
4 zeros myria

cheers,

[JMV]

To don1 reed,

My bad, you can't know everyting, but something is still a bit fishy for me.
Should not the word "CENTA" be mentionned.

I understand I might miss something there....

In the interest of us all can you make a complete Overview of that "CENTA" stuff, and how to write numbers in messages ?

When You have time of course. OK

Sorry for the other day, I was just having some fun that might not have been understood or appreciated ( though in the fantasy realm only ) at the time from everybody. I respect you as one of the most knowledgable persons in this forum, as having been on a real ship yourself ( and appreciate your REAL NAV talents ). I always follow your postings with great interest.

With respect.

JMV

[JMV]

To don1reed,

Do not forget that what is easy for you might not be for us...
For example, is there a way to track my sub course on Google Earth. ?

But OK, first things fist.

Fette Beute lieber genosse !

[don1reed]

Not to worry, JMV. :DL

I had some RL issues that I was attending to here and didn't get back to having fun in time for a laughing response. We're kool. :woot:

lol

Cheers,

[JMV]

Yes don1reed,
You're cool, and we,re all cool here. No worry.
Whenever you get some time to explain that "CENTA" stuff, it will be welcome to us, because it is essential to properly encoding messages.
Solve your RL stuff, and God help you, and whenever is best for you will be best for us.

In Friendship.

[don1reed]

Sure thing, JMV.

As you know, numbers must be spelled out; however, rather than writing
ONE SIX NUL NUL NUL, as an example, the Germans wrote ONE SIX MILLE to shorten the message so it wouldn't use too many characters. They, rightly so, economized and abbreviated where ever possible, while simultaneously, abiding by their rules of communication-security (COMSEC).

A great place to learn about their COMMO procedures is from the same site where you DL the enigma machine, (sorry, I don't have it at hand at the moment).

edit: Ok, I found the site here : http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/enigmasim.htm

Also...if I may,

during the war, morse code was the medium via continuous-wave (CW) used for their commo; and, atmospherics, fading, jamming etc. had to be contended with and sending three "NULs" in a row was not allowed due to the possibility of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Once everyone was on the same sheet of music, (including the British) everything worked out fine. ;)

all the best,

[JMV]

ROGER, don1reed and many thanks for your reply.

[JMV]

to don1reed :

can you give a translation of : ( just as quick examples )

1- 16
2- 160
3- 1.600
4- 16.000
5- 160.000
6- 1.160.000
7- 16.550
8- 16,50
9- 25.300,50

Thanks, whenever you get some time. Any other details welcomed.
Will go to that link you indicated. didn't do it just yet

Take care

[don1reed]

1- 16---------------one six
2- 160--------------one six nul
3- 1.600------------one six centa
4- 16.000-----------one six mille
5- 160.000----------one six myria
6- 1.160.000--------one one six myria
7- 16.550------------one six five five nul
8- 16,50--------------one six y five nul
9- 25.300,50---------two five three centa y five nul

I take it in examples #8 and 9 you are showing the German convention of the "," used as a decimal locator?

[JMV]

@ don1reed

Many thank on my behalf and for the Enigma Forum.

Neat and clear.

[JMV]

I take it in examples #8 and 9 you are showing the German convention of the "," used as a decimal locator? ( your quote )

Well, I'm french, so I get sometimes confused with "." and ","

But OK for that very example I was speaking "Continental"...

Thanks

[don1reed]

Hah, sorry, JMV, my bad. I meant European convention.


Cheerio,

[JMV]

No probs, don1reed, was not obvious at first..

Thank you.

Dragunov sorry but why your groups contain 5 letters ? :) I think something wrong with your UKW choice ! you should change your UKW to Kriegsmarine M3 - UKW B or C (B or C depends on that days combination on code book) :salute:

BDU Comments- I believe there are two C on the UKW make sure you use the one that says Krigsmarine.

[JMV]

@ To Dragunov :

yes You are doing it very well Dragunov but I am sure UKW M3 Kriegsmarine creates 4 Letter Groups when you encode your messages not 5 so it is better to check your choice of UKW reflector... :salute:

[Dragunov]

Dear cambaz,

You are right, I´ve used
Wehrmacht/Luftwafe UKW: C
I am sorry for my ignorance.
This is all new to me.
But I am a bit confused, because I´ve tried to encode and decode with the
UKW M3 Kriegsmarine but the encrypted message is almost the same!.
Only difference is that the encrypted message contains groups of 4, like you´ve stated.

hmmm well I don't know actually when you enconde a message with Wehrmacht/Luftwafe UKW and then decode it with Kriegsmarine M3 UKW correctly, is it works properly ? I know it is not a big deal but this is required for encoding standards BdU and other Kaleuns send their messages with using standard decoding/encoding methods and also if its possible can you try for me please because I really wonder will it work or not, would you please prepare a message encoded with Wehrmacht/Luftwafe UKW than try to decode it with Kriegsmarine M3 UKW, I am waiting for the results :) :salute:

EDIT : I tried it myself and yes it works :) only difference is number of letters in groups...

[Dragunov]

Dear Cambaz,

I have tried the same.
That´s why I wrote;

Only difference is that the encrypted message contains groups of 4, like you´ve stated.

thanks Dragunov I tried myself and get it and I know what you mean, messages are same just quantity of letters are different so this means there is no big difference. Kriegsmarine UKW and Wehrmacht/Luftwafe UKW are compatible with each other but you know this is U-Boot Waffe/Kriegsmarine so this means we are all using Kriegsmarine UKW reflector :D and I don't know why LzZ could not decode your message may be something else happened who knows...

[JMV]

Yes guys, I just tried, and it seem the only difference with the 2 B or the 2 C rotors Wehrmacht / Kriegsmarine is that they convert messages in groups of 5 letters. Didn't know myself to be frank...:hmmm:

[Dragunov]

When your Kenngruppen (BDU HNP) was entered into the enigma it responded with key (TZD). When this key was used to try a decode it produced the above

Did you use the code book for May 15?

@ Krauter,

When after setting your machine's windows with the first part of the trigram,
( BDU in this case ), you then type the second part of your trigram HNP. In the small window at the bottom of the machine ( click on the lock to open it )
you get the transcript, which should be 1 of the 4 Kenngruppen you have for that day... Then you have to put this Kenngruppe in your machine's windows, and then decode the message proper.

Ahoy dfscott,

I think there is a little mistake in your header.
RUT should be RUL.
We recruits just have to help each other out.

With kind regards,

To decode, I set my machine windows with ZBC then type SZL. The corresponding letters to SZL is QPG. Now I put QPG in the machine windows, and type the message....and invariably I get this :
