��SHORTWAVE ESPIONAGE

Note: The information presented in this section is for entertainment purposes only and does not disclose any information not already in the public domain. No assassination attempts are required! Thank you.

Confirmation of the spy radio transmission "OLX" from the Czech Interior Ministry in 1994.

��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.

At 0400 UTC on 28 MAY 08 I was interviewed for the Richard Syrett show on 1010 CFRB Toronto Canada.
Richard spoke with a shortwave radio enthusiast and author/researcher about Spy Number Stations. 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.

Marek W was kind enough to make a copy. Here is his story.

I downloaded only a few parts of it, to rip these videos, it's
probably Stasi gong station G3, without starting gongs of course. 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.
The story is about a fictional spies group called Korn.

Inspired by short wave number stations and the Conet Project, Botany Bay's newest single, "Voices" shows the band at a faster and harder pace, while retaining intensity and dealing with the subliminal. Botany Bay are a Pop/Postrock project, primarily consisting of Stephan Kleinert (keys, g, perc, programming) and Laura Dietrich (voc, keys). At the moment, Laura and Stephan are (still) putting the finishing touches to their new album, "Grounded", which will be released in September 2007.

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.

Esther Venrooy - '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.

Allan 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.

SHORTWAVE ESPIONAGE

Note: The information presented in this section is for entertainment purposes only and does not disclose any information not already in the public domain. No assassination attempts are required! Thank you.

Confirmation of the spy radio transmission "OLX" from the Czech Interior Ministry in 1994.

Welcome to the Shortwave Espionage section. Here you can access the book "Secret Signals, The Euronumbers Mystery" which was written in 1991
"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.

Quim S. (aka qsr711) recordings. QSR711

It's been quite some time since I've written, and I hope all is well in Hull! A lot has gone on here in the last ten years or so, and I have to admit that for various reasons I've drifted out of the active numbers monitoring hobby, not the least of which has been the disappearance of so many of the dear old stations that I could receive here in the northeastern US. E3...gone. E5...gone. E10...gone. And on the few occasions that I've tried scanning the air, I couldn't even pull in V2. The shortwave seems pretty barren as of late, nothing but a few nondescript utility signals and lots of screaming fundamentalist preachers. But then I may just need a decent antenna again.

I do, however, have a new treat for you...you may recall the info and recordings of E21 that I passed along to you from my friend, phone phreak "Evan Doorbell" (not his real name, of course) which you described on your website as a stunning revelation or something to that effect . You'll be interested to know that Evan has finally devoted one of his exhaustive and fascinating audio lectures to the Cognitronics announcement system and its infamous female voice, starting with his E21 recording and continuing on to its various roles in the US telephone network. I hope you'll find his presentation interesting and informative. In turn I sent him the link to your E5/E21 page for his perusal.

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. I downloaded only a few parts of it, to rip these videos, it's probably Stasi gong station G3, without starting gongs of course. 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. The story is about a fictional spies group called Korn. Download Korn video clip. VIDEO

Inspired by short wave number stations and the Conet Project, Botany Bay's newest single, "Voices" shows the band at a faster and harder pace, while retaining intensity and dealing with the subliminal. Botany Bay are a Pop/Postrock project, primarily consisting of Stephan Kleinert (keys, g, perc, programming) and Laura Dietrich (voc, keys). At the moment, Laura and Stephan are (still) putting the finishing touches to their new album, "Grounded", which will be released in September 2007.

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.

Esther Venrooy - '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/
Allan 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.

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!)
