Numbers station - Russian numbers (heard in the UK, 2008)

Heard on a really cheap radio (£3 bought from a street market). Russian numbers in five figure groups - each group immediately repeated. Ends (not on video) 'null null null null null'. Frequency - around 6900 khz (can't be accurate as the analogue tuner is very imprecise).

I believe the Enigma 2000 classification is S6 (Russia), although if anyone can confirm or correct this that would be great.

Sorry for the poor audio/video (mobile phone + cheap radio)

For those who are confused as to what a numbers station is, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station

They're coming for you now man. Oh shi

[LCduT]

hehe. I'm not well hidden but I will carry on redistributing numbers... At least until I get a notice from a 'blue beaked canary'.

41041 71231 34247 25115 06133 36335 45477 37623 65517 2726? ???02

That's what I heard, anyway.

[LCduT]

Yes, I learned Russian numbers 0-9 specially for this :-) Do you find it odd there are no 8's or 9's?

[m0n0chr0m]

The way the speaker pronounces "null" sounds quite german to me. any other opinions?

[LCduT]

Some other guy was trying to convince me another Russian station I recorded was Polish (with different numbers from the Russian). If it's confusing for us I'd love to hear about a spy getting confused.

@LCduT maybe because семь/"syem"(7) and восемь/"vosyem("8) are hard to distinguish over a scratchy recording. also, дебять"dyevyat"(9) and десять"dyesyat" (10) can also be confused

@LCduT It could be binary converted into base 8. 0-7 will encode 3 bits exactly, and it is then easy to convert from binary to octal and back.

Baby Station.

[dranoel1963]

this is a language btw, they wana take over ze world!!!!

[Weps21]

Sounds like UVB-76, could be another station thought. During the Cold War both NATO and the Warsaw Pact had all kinds of secret electronics. Over Horizon Radar, Jammers, Number Stations, Letter Stations, ect...

THAT HEAVY IS A SPY!

[G0IFI]

@LCduT It's really sophisticated. They use base 7.
