My conclusion is that the message is undecipherable to human eyes and will require input from most of the best decipherers to create a program which may or may not come to a output with results. Best bet is to let this play out. I know I am a couple years early, but hey, so is the rest of the world. If we assume that every 000 is a space and that all letter/numbers are in the hundred format (—), then we get:
013 056 051 012 079 046 065 010 093 000 082 039 013 094 069 012 078 108 017 028 017 069 022 073 038 014 017 015 015 073 004 020 068 012 013 125 100 054 004 091 014 013 015 086 022 096 081 066 002 082 055 070 002 000 000 022 083 029 008 022 012 004 071 013 065 027 094 019 029 014 022 008 002 011 083 073 003 026 019 000 007 000 000 086

Sequence 013 comes up often, possible vowel?

line 1 – 9 characters -inconclusive
line 2 – around 50 characters -inconclusive
line 3 – no characters -mabye a line skip?
line 4 – 24 characters – inconclusive
line 5 – 1 character -inconclusive
line 6 – no characters -line skip? maybe a initial/codename?

leaving us with:

We cant assume that it is 2 numbers to a character and every third character -which happens to be a zero most of the time- is a space, as this is ruled out 16 chars in and brought back in further along.
