  • ...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 ;-)

  • 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.

  • @ArmyJames Theese still exist the lincolnshire poacher broadcasted till 08 and some still are active.

  • @k8ai You still can they still broadcast stuff like this for some reason

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

  • @k8ai

    Also my favourite too, the gong is so eerie

  • ..makes for some great techo sample loops though....

  • 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.

  • it says "Luke I'm your father!".

  • These stations are so strange to listen to...
