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.

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.
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.
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.
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 . . .
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.

@@gilesbovis707 It also intrigued me, my opinion is that they likened it to a kind of "network testing" or a joke.

@@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.
I used to pick these stations up while scrawling through the radio bandwidth during the 80's.
Thought they were cool.
We use coded spectrographic audio now. No one ever notices unless you are always processing.
anyone else listen to these to relax?
I listen always wondering what the message is.
Yes, from time to time, wondering if those numbers are directions to get to some better place somewhere

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

@@devintariel3769 Do you somehow know that @andycarter917's walkie-talkies don't have problems with strong VHF AM signals?

E21 is sounds like a 1930s American accent
By what means are these forces still active, and involving whom?
So cool
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?
Honestly? You don't, especially if it's from Mossad.
