[Click CC if the subtitles are not working] V15 is a vintage North Korean numbers station. First observed in the early 1980s it ceased operation by the year 2000 although some radio monitoring group still label the station active. (Update: North Korea reactivates V15 on 2016).
[1] V15 broadcasts on fixed dates intended to a specific agent. The messages were sent late at night, 10 pm and 12 midnight.
[2] M40 was a North Korean numbers station that transmitted by Morse code. While in Morse code, upon translation results in the same five-figure format as the numbers broadcast. M40 has been active for decades but ceased broadcast in 2003.
[3] Former North Korean spy, Kim Hyon-hui aka Kim Hyun Hee later in life revealed in her book that while working for the Research Department for External Intelligence, she and her espionage ring received Morse code messages while stationed in China in 1985. They received coded messages for several midnights. She and an accomplice (both under the guise of a Japanese father and daughter on vacation) later blew up Korean Air Flight 858 in 1987.
