We use coded spectrographic audio now. No one ever notices unless you are always processing.

My favorite Audios from this video are: 0:00 2:06 5:11 5:49. And 10:49.

[@babylonsburning1]

I used to pick these stations up while scrawling through the radio bandwidth during the 80's. Thought they were cool.

[@helraiser666painkil]

I've actually herd these number stations in the past after I took the foundation licence amateur radio course and quite a few times on the HF bands you'd hear these number stations on certain frequencies but I never worked out what the numbers were for and what the purpose of the broadcasts all the time and the last time I herd one of these number stations was way back in 02 and since then I haven't herd any for years. Thanks and best 73's cheers. Stephen M3SNV.

anyone else listen to these to relax?

[@randybaumery5090]

I listen always wondering what the message is.

[@oswaldomesias6569]

Yes, from time to time, wondering if those numbers are directions to get to some better place somewhere

Are you okay?

[@andycarter917]

Number stations can also be picked up on cheap walkie talkies, I was only able to pick the signal up in a specific area of a town that I was living in, there must be a relay possibly on top of a block of flats with cell towers on.

[@BrianG61UK]

That's bizarre. Could it have been something else like airport weather information?

E27 sounds like someone from India or Pakistan who learned English, or was coached, from a non-native English speaker. The "eight" is a bit off, though.

[@ednaaaxx]

Great video how did you collect all those recordings and put it in one video? 🤔

[@onshortwave8901]

Most of the recordings are from www.numbersoddities.nl/recordings.html, some of Simon Mason's discontinued site www.simonmason.karoo.net/page138.htm +I recorded some active stations

THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

[@diverguy3556]

In the case of the message at 6:20, how is it known that a certain number indicated a test message whilst another indicates a null message?

[@dieselscience]

Honestly? You don't, especially if it's from Mossad.

[@bluebeard2]

Honestly, I imagine spies would only know what their specific message is supposed to mean. i.e. The sequence at a specific data and time, if it has a 0 in it, means go ahead, and anything else means don't go ahead. I doubt it's much more complex than that.

So cool

[@JohnDerhammer-oq9zi]

Is this a true or pseudo-random number generator that's generating the crypto? Hopefully not something weak like middle squares. I mean c'mon, inferior algorithms and hash functions. I can do permutations with 32 bit prime numbers with a slide-rule quicker than greased lightning.🕵️

[@gilesbovis707]

What happened in 2008 for the poacher to stop?

[@onshortwave8901]

Honestly, I would also be interested, I tried to find a reason, but there is no reason on any page, even in the enigma newsletter. Therefore, it could be said that the station was no longer needed, because there were no null messages and the operation had to be very expensive, so we preferred to switch to another way of communication.

[@gilesbovis707]

@@onshortwave8901 it's fascinating. I remember randomly contacting a telephone based numbers station when I was a lad. Totally by accident when dialling a wrong number. What is baffling is that only a couple of people have ever come forward to talk about numbers stations. How is it that even possible.

[@onshortwave8901]

@@gilesbovis707 It also intrigued me, my opinion is that they likened it to a kind of "network testing" or a joke. Number stations are very little known in society, which gives them a great advantage, because if their broadcast is tuned by an ordinary person or a child does not tell them anything and it keeps them under a kind of mystery.

[@Bacony_Cakes]

robin hood got to him and asked him to cut the shit

[@Marg1312]

@@Bacony_Cakes Heh, something like that. Simply, the intelligence office likely didn't have a need for a high-power HF radio station anymore. The required amount of electricity for one is quite high, so if it isn't used enough, it's really a waste of money and electricity. So why don't all places get rid of their numbers stations? Well, some countries may have spies in places without internet or in places that *tightly* monitor and restrict internet access (you know), so it only makes sense to use this completely anonymous method to communicate with them.

[@neilsheppard6673]

Kinda creepy aren't they? Makes you wonder what went on, or what never happened, as a result of a person / persons acting or standing down on the instructions contained in those number codes. Maybe some things are best kept from public knowledge . . .

[@Komotau4691]

Unknown things make us nervous....As a kid I played with radio in AM mode and found buzzing station with clear sound. Sounds get lower and higher and so on. It had sounds like a ambulance. I must thought about it all day :D For some time it doesnt change a frequency.

What's Hanna Hanoi?

[@AJStewart27]

@@JB-1138 During the Vietnam War, the Vietcong employed one of their celebrities (I forget her real name) to use speakers over American and French occupied locations to spread communist propoganda and either insult the parties or threaten them. She was said to be soft spoken, never raised her voice, but still gave the soldiers nightmares. I think you find actual recordings of her here on KZbin.
