Russia's war of aggression against
Ukraine is taking place far less in the digital world than many
expected. This also applies to the struggle for communication.
Analogue radios obviously play an important
role.
Russia's war of aggression against
Ukraine has become one of the most serious conflicts in recent
decades. The destruction, but also the strategy of Vladimir Putin's
military attack, is reminiscent of a dark time.
Political analysts have predicted
a different kind of war: a war ...

Over the past week a lot has happened with the Priyom chat.
First, we have decided to extend to Discord, and created our own server
there where you can join us and chat: if that's what you'd like,
simply follow this invitation.
This is just an extension, not a move: our Discord server is
bridged with our IRC channel, so it's the same chat, and not an
alternative or a replacement. You don't have to leave IRC
and get on Discord if you don't want to, you can keep
using our IRC chat like curren...

Recently, we were approached in our chat by the
author of a new blog
about the origins of the ancient numbers station G01, also known as the
Tyrolean Music Station. It stopped transmitting in 1975, but
decades ago back when it was still active, this station used to
broadcast, as its name indicates, Tyrolean music and yodeling,
along with numbers and occasionally, something rather unique, even
coded sentences; listen to a recording of it from The Conet
Project here.
Investigating past number...

while, get definitely retired for the occasion and stop
transmitting altogether. This year again, 2020 brought us its
number of inactive schedules that were taken permanently off the
air: two G06 and two M14 ones, and what's
peculiar about them, is that they were all transmitted from the
same somewhat infamous communication hub located somewhere around
Smolen...
