Transcript What follows is a transcript with sound clips of a typical V13 transmission. This particular schedule was sent on 24 Jun 2010 at 1300z.
A couple of abbreviations and notations are used here:
[Ux] the letter u with a number indicates that number of syllables (characters) were not understood.
[sl -] sounds like. Valid Chinese-Mandarin sounds, but they don't seem to make sense.
(a comment)
Part 1
(music. This is edited for time. It runs for one minute and is cut off abruptly. Sometimes the transmitter is switched on late and the music, and sometimes more, is not heard.)
Part 2
zhe li shi xin xing guangbo diantai, di si tai.
This is xin xing broadcast station number four. (to my ear, she is definitely saying xin xing here.)
We are now prepared to begin to broadcast a message for you.
Part 4
Zhuyi jiemu. zhunbei chaoshou.
Pay special attention (and) prepare to receive.
(different woman's voice)
Part 5
xianzai [sl - shi fa wu] yiao san yiao san su (93937) danwei
Now sending for unit 93937
Part 6
liu yue [sl - san ling wu ka wu dong] dianbao. Se shi liu
June (missed) message. Four-ten-six (probably 46 4-digit groups)
(Note that ka is sometimes used for 'slant bar'.)
(Note also that occasionally er, the number 2, is used just before the ka. In message set 7-4, two units had the number 2 here and one had the number 3. I don't know why, yet. However, the syllable that is changed normally sounds like wu 1 which could be the number five in the form V13 says it. I still don't know what that means, though.
Part 7
[u] xianzai women kaishi boda di san yao san su[sl - san liu si zu] zhunbei chaoshou.
(missed) now we will begin to send 3937's (message). (She may be saying danwei, si zu, which in above sentence could be "now sending 3137th unit. four (figure) groups", however she says it as if it were one term with no pause. She has said the same thing for every preamble heard so far.) Prepare to receive. Note that she drops the first digit, which is always a 1 anytime she says the unit number after the first reading. This probably indicates that all unit numbers begin with 9.
(She sends a very similar preamble for the other three units and then repeats all four one more time.)
Part 8
Xianzai kairshi boda di san yao san su danwei liu yue [sl - san ling fa ka wu dong] dianbao. Se shi liu.[u] dianwen.
Now we are sending unit 3137's message, June (missed), four-ten-six (46 groups). (missed) message:
(note that in everyday Chinese the word dianwen normally means "telephone number".)
Part 9
di san yao san su [sl - san liu si zu] >zhunbei chaoshou.
3137's (message) (missed) prepare to receive.
Part 10 the Numbers:
9167 7824 3219 1377 3718 3872 2821 0608 8008 6114
8514 4180 4828 2143 4015 6920 7049 7513 0537 9619
Part 11
gangcai boda di er shi ge dianwen.
The 20th group was just sent.
(She will continue to send in groups of twenty until done.)
Part 12
[u] san yao san su danwei liu yue [sl san ling fa ka wu dong] dianbao. Se shi liu. [u]
wrote ... dianwen. Xianzai jeige baogao wanle.
(That was) unit 3937's message four-ten-six. This message is now finished.
(She will send messages for the other three units in the same manner.)
Part 13 wuzhang te bie ge ye kanshu] bosong wanbi. xiexie nin de shouting. zhu nin jiankang kuai le. zaihui.
(missed). Transmission finished. Thank you for listening. Wishing you health and happiness. Out.
