Hello! Recently I got haunted by number stations again, so I started to look for various documents and other info on the web about NS. Specifically I wanted to find out more about Stasi Sprach speech generators, which generated the famous voices that are heard on number stations. I came across an article written by Detlev and Daniel from ENIGMA 2000 newsletters about NS, encryption methods, radios and more. There is a lot of interesting information so make sure you don't miss this one. Enj...

Greetings shortwave fans. Seems we have broken google calendar, so be careful using the schedule, you may have to double check it. If you see stuff missing please drop into the IRC and let us know. Events are appearing and dissapearing at random it seems and the calendar can be a whole day out. At the time of writing this post it's the 30th of May but the site is showing the calendar for the 29th of May. Very odd and I cannot figure out why this is the case. The second issue is with even...

One of our members (Who wishes to remain anonymous!) has found and been to one of the current broadcast sites of the buzzer: 60°18'40.1"N 30°16'40.5"E The Buzzer source is fed to this shortwave site and other broadcasting locations using R-414S radio relay/phone lines directly from St. Petersburg's 60th Communication Hub (codename Vulkan, from a previous phone leak in February 2014, transcript) on Palace Square. Mutiple VGDSh antennas and other arrays then take care of distributing the ...

Greetings short-wave fans. Another fun evening, we heard E06's regular transmission this evening and also got trolled by a pirate. e06-5197usb-20140307-2130z-msg-music-bycrysisltu If you listen through that you will hear a short piece of music at the end, from the Police Academy movies. The pirate had already transmitted this just after an E06 test count at 19:45 which a couple of our members were listening out for. Their was a very brief piece of the music followed a moment later b...

Hello friends, Today a new English-language station was heard in Europe that baffled us a bit... It began earlier in the day on 10250kHz with what was believed to be XPA2. This was odd in itself, as that's an unexpected frequency and schedule for said station. Then, at around 1850UTC, reports of a high-powered carrier and test counts began coming in on that same frequency in the voice of E06. Not long after that, the messages started coming in. The call was 123 123 123 1 334, Followed b...
