Atencion! Cuban Numbers Stations

[quarknimble]

i thought it says FINALE! this recording has more sounds/interference added to it. check my 30 sec clip of the cuban numbers station V02a

[car7000]

the are just spy codes, no way this can be creepy c'mon guys...

[ggnub100]

Atención of Cuba became the world's first numbers station to be officially and publicly accused of transmitting to spies. It was the centerpiece of a United States federal court espionage trial following the arrest of the Wasp Network of Cuban spies in 1998. The U.S. prosecutors claimed the accused were writing down number codes received from Atención, using Sony hand-held shortwave receivers, and typing the numbers into laptop computers to decode spying instructions, to which the FBI testified.

@DanielChristy19 Haha I already listened to Swedish Rhapsody. It's horrible.

[jaffdudegoldhero]

Number stations are not scary it's the silence after listening to one.

[ehunter2]

These are coded messages to Cuban spies here in the USA. They listen via

shortwave with "one pad" decoding system. The "one pad" means that

the code for understanding each message is obsolete at the end of the message

and so there is no unified code system "to break". Also since it is impossible to know who is listening to these messages the spies here in the USA are

anonymous.

What says when the video finish??? is "finado"???

[r0llskyay0]

@Capidiego1

'finido', spanish word for 'finished'

[downshift1967]

Can't say I've ever found these creepy, since I've heard plenty and always had a general idea of what they are. They do create a certain mood, however :)

[BouncePounce]

It's like an auditory anxiety attack.

[Maus5000]

I hate Cuba. I have no problem with the race, poeple, or anything concerning the citizens, I just hate the governments (if you can call them that). I feal the same about some of the middle-eastern countries and north Korea. China's government is pretty messed up too.

About 35 years ago, we were listening to short wave radio late one night at the beach (SE tip of North Carolina). On clear nights we often found Cuban music stations, but on this night we stumbled on a numbers station. We totally freaked. It was years before I found out what a numbers station was. Like someone else said, it STILL creeps me the %^&$ out -- and sometimes the music in the background is creepier than the mechanical voice reciting the numbers. :::violent shudder:::

I remember - ti taa taa ti - (P)

[Wyndrax]

I don't know about you guys, but this creeps me the fuck out.

[N0rthwestRadio]

@Wyndrax Welcome to our world..

[zetsuumbreon]

@Wyndrax search backwards music station if you really wanna be creeped out

[davesanti]

@Wyndrax Not for me, I think that this is communicating to spies, and when I think spies, I think of TF2. lol

98902atencion 98902 atencion

[u2basher]

Notice in the background another station was sending the Morse for the letter "p" over and over again....was it jamming?....or was it a slave station set up to foil goniometer tracking stations?

[Sonixant]

sure a good question

[malignantpoodle]

Couldn't be a jam. Too weak and inconsistent. Look up the Russian Woodpecker. Now THAT'S effective jamming.

[DrMotorDude]

Right, BUT following signal direction to CUBA means it came from Cuba....

[mdkl0000]

It's already well known "attencion" was broadcasted from Cuba..

[karoloandria]

so Achtung is aslo broadcasted from cuba?

[onelasssttime]

They're 2 different stations..

[karoloandria]

but where? one in cuba and the other where? aslo where this recording made during the cold war?
