188-110A 2400S (prob. Egypt-Ny)

slightly modified 188-110A bursts with some voice comms in Arabic, prob. from Egyptian Ny, spotted on 15950.0 KHz/USB 1320z.
It's interesting to note the well visible three 200ms synchronization pattern segmentes (MIL 188-110 §5.3.2.3.7.2 Sync preamble sequence), confirmed by the 200ms spikes in the preamble ACF. Data blocks ACF exhibits 20ms spikes that makes 48 tribit symbols at the speed of 2400Bd: each data block consisting of 32 symbols of unknown data (user data) and 16 symbols of known data (probes).

The short synch preamble (3x200ms) and the used framing (48 symbols, 32+16) point out the 2400bps/S mode, as confirmed by the 5710A modem.
