I'm a ham radio operator. I hear such stations regularly, mostly in 6-8Mhz. I've heard russian numbers stations, spanish, chinese, and english. They are alive and well! I'm knowledgeable about encryption. I'm certain they are using a one-time-pad cypher. (google it) So they're basically uncrackable. It's easy to understand why the use HF. It's reliable and nearly untraceable worldwide communications. A portable station can fire off a code, pack up and move on in minutes.

Damn I miss the Cold War. Things were so much simpler then. There were rules.

Also my favourite too, the gong is so eerie

Not so much that the language is to be used once, but the encryption is stronger than any computer-based encryption as it uses a 'one time pad' (you can search that phrase for more info - some great resources online). These spoken numbers are literally uncrackable, so can be broadcast in the open quite safely.

:11 those arent numbers those sound like phonetics to me! yankee fox-trot etc.

These stations are so strange to listen to...
...yeah, a gentleman's game of apocalypse and endless, soul-rending paranoia.
The only thing that's really changed is the lack of subtlety.

The G3 Stasi Gong station is my favorite one. Kinda makes you want the cold war back so we can listen to these again ;-)
