Call sign 81 on 9080khz

Updated: Oct 8, 2021

We've been hearing 81 send STANAG to فائز and واحد since Sept 19. ENS AL MOEZ 981 was launched in May 2019 but has not yet been commissioned. It appears to be on a shakedown cruise. Expect a commissioning ceremony soon.

7 October / Now we hear كادا sending position reports on 4888 and 5200khz and we think this could be the operational call sign for 981. They expect to return to base Oct 9.

October 21 is the anniversary of the sinking of INS Eilat and would be a likely date for the inauguration ceremony of the new base at Port Said East. Maybe they will also have the commissioning ceremony for Al Moez at that time.

We also expect the new MEKO A200 frigate ENS Al Aziz to set sail from Germany by the end of the year.
