YOU SAY "Nobody knows who it's aimed at" obviously this can't be true because why send a signal if there's nobody to listen to it. Would you get in your car and DRIVE TO NOWHERE?
I'm a shortwave DXer and have heard these number stations before. The ones I heard were in Spanish. Probably were related to the drug cartels or spying activities in the Americas.
@TheMW2informer No. Thats the whole idea. Nobody would listen. its a oneway communication. Besides. The transmitter is using somthing like 500KW transmitting power. A ham radio would at best go up to somthing like 50W or so. Its a computerized voice and your transmission would never be recived by the numbers station. Dont bother trying to track them down. Its very hard to trace and youd just end up outside a facility with military or an embassy.
@mikesndbs lol i was up for like 6 hours listening to these things, and watching about these russian spies who got captured in the us. very interesting stuff.
I had been listening to shortwave radio for almost 17 years and I always find interesting and unusual shortwave radio stations I never heard of or is in the background of the shortwave radio station I am listening to. it is very common to get an unusual shortwave radio station.
I have never heard E25. It is strange that the numbers are read out so slowly. Also, it almost sounds like a live voice broadcast and not an automated system. Who knows?
Nice one my friend. Thanks. During E11 you could already hear the E25 lady. For a non-numbers knowing viewer/listener it could sound like a cat or baby crying, till you turned onto E25, where the lady came in very clear. Oh yes, and there just came WYFR and afterwards Radio Polonia.

Its mix of both Arabic and English.
Tlat = 3
Eser = 10
The accent is average Egyptian. I can translate the number sequence if you really want me to...

I know its an old, but what if the numbers were aimed at the splinter groups for starting the uprise in Egypt? every number is like a word.

@rayfox62 They serve no purpose other than to tie up resources with people trying to decode nd trace them.
