I'm not the only one thinking this sounds like Tom and Jerry, right? Not sure about the language -- it's obviously a Romance Language, just not sure which.

[@thejay8963]

Finally a number station with music that isn’t horrifying.

[@sizzis2045]

When you tune in thinking it's a local folkish music station, only for it to turn out to be yet another spy number station.

[@josephphillips1976]

It sounds like a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

[@herihermawan100]

[@Jorvaskrr]

That's George Enescu,friend.A little bit more than a " Tom & Jerry cartoon".

[@4ndr0yt96]

Thanks for the intel

[@SirAuronthehonorable]

whats it broadcasting? A location, commands, or something else?

[@TheInvert]

@@SirAuronthehonorable we dont know, only the intended people can decipher it, most likely with a book with numbers and meanings

[@alecs709]

@@SirAuronthehonorable probably both of them, depending on the case. We can't figure it out exactly because no one has access to the used code system in order to dechiper the messages. What's known is that the Romanian intel used the number station to communicate with Romanian spies abroad. It also coincides with the time when well-known intellectuals managed to escape the country and became vocal activists against the regime, through media (especially RFE/RL), thus it's possible that some of those encrypted messages were referring to espionage activities related to those.

[@baciurobertc]

Yup, I can confirm that this is Romanian.

[@pavles5579]

this is romanian language and this may be from the soviet period when romania was kinda influenced by USSR

[@petrutzgabriel]

no shit!

[@YO3HJV]

That period was rather short as in 1968 we were againts USSR invasion in Chechoslovakia. Actually, Romania was a target for KGB and GRU agents and we had a special CounterIntelligence Directorate that was hunting KGB and GRU agents. It's a very interesting history!

[@Skyrilla]

''Kinda'' lol more like entirely.

[@YO3HJV]

@@Skyrilla That period was pretty short and has to do with so called "war reparations". After 1968 we were against USSR (recent documents show this). This station was operational untill late '90s. Don't fall for Pacepa's "revelations" 😁

It's Romanian. Ciocarlia is Romanian for skylark. I don't know how you can confuse "șase" for "seis", "șapte" for "siete", "opt" for "ocho", or "nouă" for "nueve", as they sound nothing alike.
