There has been very little activity lately but the فارس احمد is transmitted regularly. So what is it? We think it is short for فاكس FAX. We are under the impression that MIL-STD-188-110A and STANAG signals in use by the Navy are capable of transmitting FAX. If you have ever decoded an HF weather fax signal you know they are very long, and so is the فارس احمد. Therefore we believe they are transmitting meteorological data, a necessity for any navy. Or it could be a crew list. A frigate's complement is about 174 and nobody wants to hear that in a voice transmission.
