It was very interesting listening live to these mysterious stations. Worldwide passive transmissions like these make you wonder what’s going on out there on the airwaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This morning I thought I’d search for number stations on the bands. According to Priyom.com, Number stations are shortwave transmissions from foreign intelligence agencies to spies in the field of foreign countries. They carry encrypted messages in form of groups of numbers or letters, using either automated voice, Morse code, or a digital mode. Here are a few number stations I heard this morning thanks to Priyom.com‘s schedule: M12 station (Moscow) on 13.379MHz in morse code at 16:40 UTC. For those who don’t know CW, it is repeating “931” over and over with occasional breaks of “TTT” which Priyom says means “000”. E11 station (Warsaw) on 12.229MHz in upper… Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[29,26,63],"class_list":["post-982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cw","category-ssb","tag-cw","tag-government","tag-number-stations"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9naFX-fQ","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":104,"url":"https:\/\/ad6dm.net\/log\/2017\/10\/ham-code-guide\/","url_meta":{"origin":982,"position":0},"title":"Ham Code Guide","author":"kf6ujs","date":"October 29, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Spurred by the previous post, I'm using the Koch method for learning Morse code (CW).
