Number stations are some interesting government spy stuff. You can't stop radiowaves from entering a country least not without a ton of effort and the numbers could correspond to anything you desire or just be fluff. You could instruct someone to tune in at 1:30 having something repeat before instruction, not repeat, have a list or cypher or just have your spy memorise something. And if you want to annoy a government just start up the number stations for no reason. Pretty inexpensive.

​@@themc3140I have to agree. Ever since Vinny opened up one of the advertising kits for one of the unboxing videos, and there was one of those radio-devices that let you tune into stations it made me hope he did similar stuff and I'm glad to see he did

They put pictures in the spectrogram, and among the amogus and trollfaces was the smiling engineer meme (engineer gaming) and where that "who the hell be hijacking this station bro" picture comes from

We often used to listen to shortwave radio while cooking dinner in the 80's in Germany and occasionally the signals would overlap with a number station. It was a really spooky thing before the iron curtain fell. The uncertainty, not knowing what it was at the time, only speculation that it was for GDR Agents in West-Germany or West-German Agents in the GDR. Now we know the ones that came in through our radio was the East-German Spies one. Glad those times are over, but ever since the war in Ukraine the activity picked up again.

It’s so bizarre because I’m sure it was in some piece of horror media or something like that but the way these shortwave stations are created makes them always feel surreal and dreamlike. It’s like recalling a nightmare I had as a child, the actual details are fuzzy but the emotions it evokes are so potent that it makes my blood run cold from fear. I have always had a fear of automated speech and warning sirens and this has made sure I won’t sleep soundly tonight. Edit: I remember where I heard it. Killing Floor 2, Farmhouse map. It plays an extremely similar recording in the radio in the basement. I first discovered it while playing on an empty server at 2 AM and just sat and listened to it in between rounds.

For me, the benchmark stations I would use to do a restoration on a shortwave radio are WWVH, which transmits the atomic time on shortwave radio at 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and once again experimentally at 25 MHz. 1.25 MHz is out of the question for obvious reasons: that frequency is squarely in the medium-frequency broadcast band at 1250 AM.

Curious fact: the radio noise and the numbers that can be heard from time to time in Signalis are actually from an old numbers station, commonly known as "Three note oddity"!

[@Povilaz]

Man, this takes me back to early 2016 when I got into shortwave radio because of the mysteries and oddities surrounding it, even to this day tuning around the dying shortwave bands just because of how interesting it is. A couple years ago, I managed to stumble over the E11 Oblique number station completely by accident, and it felt like striking gold.

[@kieryn8264]

At 28:40 ... that is the theme music from "Raumpatroullie Orion" a German Sci-Fi Show from 1966. At least in the background and the Robot counting down

*Beebeebeep* "We are sorry. You have reached a mumber that has been disconnected or is no longer in service."

[@kuratajutsu]

While watching this, I kept wishing there was a way to go back in time. Not to do anything fancy, just to know what the *fuck* some of these signals really are.

[@TheUltimateToad]

I'm sure we'll find out eventually. Got to be declassified at some point

[@The1337guy1]

​@@thatradioboyYeah that's the truth of it. A lot was declassified when the bloc fell but a ton of Russian specific documents never saw light because they still hold some relevance to modern operations. That and they're stubborn.

[@KingThrillgore]

9 times out of 10 its espionage and some of those documents especially East German/Stasi have been destroyed.

[@mindavery]

my favorite streamer is spreading onto my interests and it's kinda unexpected, now he needs to watch cryptid sighting videos like joel

[@sophiegoose]

17:20 So, it's funny he said that, because I used to fall asleep all the time listening to the Conet Project (big collection of older number station/bizarre radio recordings) through my old crappy headphones in the car when my family would go on vacation. I get bad car sickness, and listening to something repetitive and less dynamic than most music combined with the slight drowsy discomfort of the car sickness would put me right off to sleep. Would usually be jolted awake by some of the louder/sharper-sounding recordings later on in it, but overall it really did help me get through some otherwise long and uncomfortable car rides. There's just something about these recordings man, something deeply eerie yet calm, at least to me. Will say that the North Korean one in here really stressed me out though, that poor operator sounds so scared. Anyway, hope y'all have a wonderful day/night/whatever it is in your timezone. Cheers.

[@MashieMutt]

Love falling asleep to this and feel like I've been trapped inside a small bathroom that's slowly filling up with water while all I have with me is an atari 2600 and a tv that somehow only gets reception of math channels from the 1950s

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

So 24:03? Lol

[@MashieMutt]

​@@BananaPhoPhillyI'm like r2d2 mixed with an inkling from splatoon

[@ShadowNinja452]

That last part… just… what? That’s neat! But.. what?

[@ezracallaghan8174]

Aw man, I love weird auditory phenomena, and I love Vinny, this is gonna be a GREAT vod to watch

[@909After]

I remember stumbling into number stations 12 years ago or so. Lincolnshire Poacher and Swedish Rapsody are both as chilling now as then.

[@strongbadman2]

“I lied, I don’t have BBQ sauce. Take off your sunday shoes-“

[@graysonrogers-barnes6302]

Have had a love for numbers stations since I first found out about them. Absolutely love seeing Vinny explore them! Would love to see more weird shit like this from him.

[@ZacJG]

This is my shit right here, i used to sit on a program called SDR Radio for hours recording weird stuff i found on random frequencies. Nice one binyot, love it!!

[@jon952]

I listened to this in broad daylight at work and it still gave me the fucking creeps

[@prodieseltrucker]

There's a guy up around Michigan that calls himself "Jake from the Great Lakes" who broadcasts from a CB basestation, and he carries on conversations with truck drivers. You can actually pick him up in Mississippi, skipping off the clouds early in the morning sometimes. Shortwave stuff is wild.

[@Lucas-db2jq]

10:13 I did not expect to find out the origin of a certain sound sample used in OMORI of all things by watching this, but, you live and learn.

[@Lilly_Belle]

I love this kind of stuff. Funny he mentioned falling asleep to this, I was actually doing just that because old radio signals are very soothing. Combined with Vinny's voice, this is some amazing ASMR. But I actually had to pause it before falling asleep because I didn't wanna miss anything. It was too interesting. lol

[@ratsmackerjack7353]

SOOTHING????

[@Lilly_Belle]

@@ratsmackerjack7353 Haha, I'm weird. I used to mess with my father's old ham radio when I was a little girl. Old radio transmissions are just comforting, unless it's full-blown yelling or screaming. lol

[@_ALLEGORY_]

17:17 So crazy Vinny says this because I happened to fall asleep to this last night and I paused the video here after dozing off a couple of times. I had some very strange dreams about some of these signals and it was pretty creepy and disturbing.

[@RedSpade37]

They've been trying to contact us about our car's extended warranty since 1963...

[@notsanger]

what an awesome thing to randomly cover the conet project is a great collection of shortwave recordings

[@countblackula5798]

11:06 the Swedish Rhapsody number station's messaging was sampled and used by the late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson on a track entitled 'A Song For Europa' as part of his final album, Orphée. It's a hauntingly beautiful piece and I hope Vinny listens to it some day.

[@MarSis13]

Omg I wish I didn’t miss this stream live I’ve been a total sucker for this stuff ever since I played Oxenfree a few years ago

[@xtYLT2IY8]

ive been into this stuff for years and vinny decides to randomly take a look, pretty cool

[@thepolarphantasm2319]

We need a new Art Bell, Binny. You're hosting Coast 2 Coast AM now, good luck - we're all counting on you 👍

[@kaede_but_yt]

I've made a chilling realization about The Lincolnshire Poacher. Despite this seeming like it's realistically the first time I'm hearing it, it actually isn't the first time. It made me remember a dream I had where I was working as a high-ranking member of the British government in what I believe was, judging by this realization, a foreign intelligence agency, and I remember the preamble, I remember the three tones, I remember the automated speaker. I remember it all. I believe in past lives and reincarnation and all that, so realizing that I remember this station despite never hearing it before in my life has led me to believe that my dream involving The Lincolnshire Poacher was moreso a memory of a past life. It's actually kinda frightening to me

[@Frynge357]

been a fan of these for years. studied them a lot. it makes me so happy to see Vinny discover them.

[@HowlinnWolf]

Since I speak russian unlike chat person who recorded this, in that Novokuznetsk broadcast I heard words "Attacking", "Orlan" (witch is most likely a codename for something airborne) and "Over" so... I'm 90% sure it was a military broadcast. And I kinda wish Binty didn't talk over it.

[@Toxoplasmos]

The reason he was saying 'Uhhhhhh' for so long was because he was tuning an amplifier and it needs a solid tone to properly tune.

[@moniquesantrifcer1447]

This reminds me of when vinny played spooky jumpscare mansion and was just showing off scary transmissions

[@applesKIWISbananas]

one of my silly little special interests is short wave/Amateur radio, so i was super excited to see this vid show up in my feed
