SHORTWAVE
ESPIONAGE |
|
|
Welcome to the Shortwave Espionage section. Here you can access the book "Secret Signals, The Euronumbers Mystery" which was
writtpeter
"Secret Signals" is about the enduring mystery of the
shortwave bands-namely the "Numbers Stations" These are supposedly one
way transmissions to espionage agents working in foreign countries.
Where do these transmissions come from? Well, one source is an Embassy
building in a particular country. Look at the grotesque log periodic
antenna on top of the
Yugoslav embassy
in Washington. Other sites may include international broadcasters. The
B.B.C. has always denied any involvement and in the book you will read
of a denial of the use of the frequency 6840 kHz "We have not used it
for many years". However, later on came the following reply from
B.F.B.S. "Thank you for your letter enquiring about our 6840 kHz
frequency and any associated interference. You may, or may not, know
that this frequency was "lent" to us in order that British Forces
serving in the Gulf area could keep in touch with not only the British
news but also Service news via BFBS.
The
transmitter that radiates this frequency is situated on Cyprus and the
transmissions are directed towards the Gulf region (sounds familiar!).
We have never had any complaints of the type you describe and therefore
no call for further action. It would seem that the heavy interference
you describe may well not affect our listeners in the Gulf area since
our signal there will be infinitely stronger." See
QSL1
and QSL2.
Could this be a QSL in lieu of a Lincolnshire Poacher confirmation?
There have been stations that have had genuine callsigns such as DFC37
and DFD21 and even stations that have issued QSL cards, such as Czech
station
OLX
and semi-spy station KKN44.
The Number Stations use
one time pads
which are unbreakable if used correctly. Agents have been caught with them in hollowed out
bars of soap
. Or even talcum powder
containers.
Thanks to a Number Stations 4 CD
set brought out by Akin Fernandez, this esoteric subject has been shown
on national TV and radio. There have been many books and magazine
articles published on the subject.

Numbers stations are shortwave radio stations of uncertain origin. They generally broadcast voices reading streams of numbers, words, letters (sometimes using a radio alphabet), tunes or Morse code. Evidence supports popular assumptions that the broadcasts are channels of communication used to send messages to spies. Here is the edited hour long show. LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE: |

Here is a clip from a film shown in Poland in 1968. Marek W was kind enough to make a copy. Here is his story.

My uncle told me that makers of this film asked the Polish Militia about spycraft communication related materials to present something close to the truth in a movie and they gave them these recordings.

Peter�s guest this month is Scott Carmichael of the
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). As the DIA�s senior
counterintelligence investigator, Scott identified one of the most
damaging spies in recent U.S. history, the Agency�s own chief Cuba
analyst, Ana Belen Montes. Scott discusses Montes� motivations, the
damage she did, and the continuing threat of Cuban intelligence to the
United States.

| Overheard
by Aya Karpinska I was inspired by looking and listening to what the city's inhabitants are "writing" as they walk the streets and public spaces; making, breaking, negotiating the rules of language and behavior. They walk alone, in pairs, or in groups that come between each other, meet, and split. I recorded these crossing spaces, imagining the high contrast of bright winter light and dark shadows as close in spirit to black text on a white surface. As for the soundtrack: I scanned through Internet search results, picking up bits of short-wave radio samples. Their dull static, electronic hum, weirdly fascinating recitations of numbers, and bits of song reminded me of tuning in to the mess of thoughts and ideas crowding the sidewalk.

- 'Shift Coordinate Points' LP (Entr'Acte) Singular work from this Dutch-born Belgian composer who isolates elements from The Conet Project�s macabre collection of secret shortwave "number stations" and assembles them in massively brooding late night dronescapes, repeat tone clusters and flashes of phantom electricity. Something supremely disconcerting about the mechanised voices and occult number calls and put in this context the whole piece takes on a bizarre / surreal almost Nurse With Wound air. 'Shift Coordinate Points' refers to an excerpt from William Burrough's novel 'Nova Express. Edition of 300 copies. http://www.esthervenrooy.com/ |

Hughes' The Listening Station. This work was shot on location at the British army communications installation at the summit of Black Mountain, located on the edge of west Belfast. The footage represents some of the very last moving images made of this site as it was, prior to its partial and ongoing disassembly. The site remains �active� in that while the British army has relocated, the few remaining transmitters are still functioning. Enquiries made to the Ministry of Defence, by Jason Mills of The Vacuum, as to the nature of transmissions sent or received at this site remain classified under security regulations. The Listening Station explores the partial and ongoing decommissioning of this site, through the psychic history of its recent past. The site was initially put into service during the Cold War and has subsequently figured as a totemic sentinel of Britain�s political and military surveillance of Belfast, being visible from nearly anywhere in the city on its strategic vantage point. The facility is currently being dismantled after the land was sold to the National Trust for environmental conservation in 2005. |

| "Dance
by Numbers" "Something surrounded with a fair touch of mystery are the number stations. Those are short wave radio stations that broadcast sequences of numbers that are believed to be coded messages. The stations are not always on line or on the same frequency. You can find recordings of those stations on the web and I figured that maybe this could be used in one way or another�" Check out this study. DOWNLOAD AUDIO CLIP |

| The
212-796-0735 mystery (Thanks to Vera Era) Another phone numbers station: 415-704-0402 (Michael Hampton) Note : This recording is obviously a fake. Every group contains a "0", hardly random! Also, it starts off with "Group 415", but there are only 49 groups, not including the "00000" ending. There no need for the "86" at the end and the music used is not distinctive enough either. It is confirmed as a fake here: (Quelle surprise!) |
