This is cool. Some years back, perhaps 5 or 6, I heard a number station on 40 meters. It was a very strong signal. I believe it came from the Michigan National Guard in Grayling Michigan. It was a strange one for sure. A beautiful female voice with a long repeating echo of perhaps 5 or 6 repeats between each digit. An extremely good signal.
These spoken number groups were broadcast on European radio stations at varying but specific frequencies for Russian spies decoded w/what were called "pads". The pads were used to decode the messages, which contained instructions for specific operatives to carry out - also, any hardcore Stereolab fan will recognize the first section of this particular batch of Conet Project recordings as appearing at the start of the tune "Pause" on their excellent 1992 album TRANSIENT RANDOM NOISE-BURSTS WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS. This info about the coded number groups - spoken in a variety of languages - German, French, English, etc. are real, actual copies of real broadcasts that took place during the cold war, while Russian spies were infiltrating places all over the West. (I don't remember if this technique was ever utilized in the US, but I don't see why it couldn't have)
4 (E10) can be heard on the Wilco album titled, oddly enough "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." Group leader Jeff Tweedy is apparently a fan of the numbers stations.
#2 (between 4:24 and 7:54) is German. The word between groups there is not "Treholler" but a somewhat muffled "wiederhole" which is the German analogy of "I repeat". #1 also sounds German.
Cuba still uses a numbers station. The US military has broadcasts that sound a lot like numbers stations but it is a male voice calling out letters using the phonetic alphabet (ie. Oscar November Foxtrot) I hear both of these often on the shortwave.
So I read somewhere that one of the best ways to pull an all nighter is to open a window and put one something scary to keep you awake and alert, that sounds like lollipops and rainbows until its 3 am and youre the only person awake in your entire neighbor hood and its pitch black outside with a freezing breeze blowing but youre too scared to even move because all you hear is a demented sweetish wind-up-box song with a creepy little girl reading out numbers in german
I've run into this comment 6 years later and am now seeing how incomprehensible it is. I think what 6-years-ago-me was trying to say was I use to play this on speaker and open my window behind me with the hope that the fear would keep me awake so I could work on homework. In hindsight I can say it didn't really work, and these days the conet recordings make me very nostalgic and instill fascination with the more mysterious parts of the cold war rather than fear.
Thanks Jeff Tweedy for bringing me here.... and also discovering where the numbers at 7:55 are from! They're at the end of Even Less by Porcupine Tree "Even Less"
Imagine though if we just started this shit in the 50's with no actual message or substance behind it just to scare the soviets and the soviets didn't know what the fuck it was but started to imitate ours with their own versions and so on/so forth country after country around the world to the point that we're all just radioing random fucking jibberish at each other thinking it's some fucking conspiracy that we've all long since forgotten how it started in the first place. Would be funny as hell and explain why we've never deciphered any of it.
Somehow you're not so far from the truth of disinformation during war times. As long as the time you use to produce a piece of content is inferior to the time spent by the enemy on that piece of content, you win. It also helps concealing the actually REAL messages. This logic or similar is also applied elsewhere and in different ways.
One time I woke up in the middle of the night to pee and thought I'd have some fun. I went down in the basement and played this audio and sat there writing down numbers. Eventually my wife woke up and came looking for me. When she finally found me, I acted all surprised and was like "What are you doing here? How much did you hear?, etc." For the next several days I was playing the part like I was really hiding something. Eventually she finally asked me what it was all about; I got all agitated and told her to 'never ask me about that again.' I eventually let on that I was just messing with her. I'm sure the payback will be hell, but it was funny freaking her out.
Atención has also a radio beacon, pretty active on 10.3 MHz on this side of the world from 10 pm to 2 am GMT -6. Atención is also known as “The Cuban lady” and its broadcast frequencies are close to Radio Habana Cuba.
I used to hear the TARZAN Yell on SW. You can buy many sound modules for Transmitters. From the annoying Swedish Song to Hundreds More "Themes:, I used to use the NASA beep on my radio(s).
I've been fascinated with number stations for years. A few years back I saw the physical CDs for the conet project for sale but had no money to buy them unfortunately:(
The very first spoken words are german and its just counting fron one to nine theb zero...followed by the musik... I'm from germany and this is really really creepy!
I also find these recordings easy to listen to. Maybe not a sleep sedative. Buy i imagine the men and women from around the world hunched over with a set of old school headphones on sitting in front of a very large warm radio transceiver with the knobs and dials. Its romantic broadcast spycraft at its finest. what does it mean? i listen, i listen until im almost in the spys world, repeating two, two, five three, three, six, .............and the voices are speaking but in intonations like saying something other than the numbers! does anyone get that? i downloaded them to enjoy. Think about it...there are CIA and NSA Agents being paid good money to listen to these things. Maybe there's a job for me too.
@@nobodyburgen4594 They don't use the word "Wiederholung" it would be redundant as the messages usually repeat in their entireties at least once. THIS recording is mirroring the STASI and they use 'trennung' (space) as a place holder or indicator of a null character in the message OR it could be a character in the one time pad.... I doubt any government agency would tell us.
they are unique number groups, where 4 or 5 numbers would equal a particular word or phrase that Russian spies would decode to get their instructions from Moscow HQ. They have been collected (now that they're anachronistic, since the cold war is over) into this "Conet Project" album. It's true - you can check it out on Wikipedia or look it up in any book on cold war spycraft books.
I don't know if the Israelis used the number group ciphers too, but these were widely used in the 50s & 60s by the Russians, broadcast on varying radio frequencies that allayed instructions to KGB operatives who would have the right equipment - headphones, a radio, the information w/the correct frequency and corresponding decoding means known as "pads".
Don't play this for your children , your pets , your neighbors , your relatives anyone . Why would anyone want to listen to it ? It is very interesting .....
forgive my ignorance..but if these are old and not useful anymore as in the message ia passed in..why do they still run them. why dnt they get turned off. also could they be replied too by whoever got the message
The answer is that running them with just random noise is fine, because they are using one time pads. In fact running them empty is useful if only to have them spare. Another alternative would be to have the signal being them going off air, or changing. Communication is all about playing games with lexicon, grammar, and context, but also content. Simplify content and you simplify overall communication.
No, F would mean different things at different times. They would use that F and other letters they hear, look it up in their decoding book or pad, and get a message from that. Then they would probably destroy their decoding book and get another one when it is time for them to decode their next message.
Why should the second example be used by the CIA? All the numbers are clearly spoken in german. And the word “Treholler” which should separate the 99er groups is the word “Wiederhole”, which means “I repeat”.
Could someone enlighten me please as I'm wondering what the purpose of these broadcasts are. They all are different but they share the similarity of some sort of noise then counting or words. Is this testing, encoded messages or something else entirely?
Government officials/spies, military intelligence, KGB etc used these on certain frequencies as code for the receipt to decode, usually instructions or info they had to hide. Not accessible over the regular radio but if you have a shortwave radio and know a bit you could also catch them on occasion too
They're sending a message through codes, like if you're the American government and you've got a spy or agent somewhere they can just tune into one of these stations and receive messages only they can deciver.

No, F would mean different things at different times. They would use that F and other letters they hear, look it up in their decoding book or pad, and get a message from that.

They're sending a message through codes, like if you're the American government and you've got a spy or agent somewhere they can just tune into one of these stations and receive messages only they can deciver.
