The list is indeed still "alive" although not very active.

We do have a Spy Numbers board on the HFUnderground.com forum that is 
significantly more active, you're all welcome to read/join in:

The list is pretty dead now. If you're interested in spy numbers, you can join 
the HFUnderground and use the dedicated forum there:

Perhaps I need to close down this list?

[Spooks] Spy Numbers Logging Datavase Re: Regenerating ? Schedules.

[Chris Smolinski]

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this 
list

There's a database of loggings here: http://www.spynumbers.com/numbersDB/

If loggings are entered into this database, using this easy to use form here, 
rather than just typed as a message to the list, they automatically get entered 
into the database: http://www.spynumbers.com/numbersDB/numbers.html

No human intervention is required. It's that easy!  

Loggings can then be searched here: 
http://www.spynumbers.com/numbersDB/dbSearchEntry.php3

This can make it much easier to collate information, to put together schedules. 
And, all the loggings are publicly available for all to use. There's over 
120,000 loggings in the database right now, in fact. The more people that 
contribute their loggings, the more there will be for everyone else to see and 
use. 

There are some tools to display logs from the past during the current hour and 
day of week, as well as the next hour, to see what stations might be on the 
air. Right now it uses all loggings, so you get some old entries. This can 
certainly be tightened up to display only loggings from the last year for 
example. Let me know what would be best.

I'd also like to point out that the HFUnderground.com website has a forum for 
numbers stations (in addition to forums for other radio related topics) here: 
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/board,7.0.html

 Hi All, Real question is; is there enough information out on the web to 
 regenerate the schedules without Enigma? And has anyone the time, patience 
 and incentive to do it and stay doing it?  Then if yes, how can it be 
 distributed, so everyone gets what they need ?
 
 I had a look at pryorm.org but was put off by seeing  they are encrypting 
 stuff. I am pretty certain that the spooks GCHQ, Russians, Red Chinese and 
 various BVD type outfits in Europe, not to mention the occupants of black 
 glasstower at Fort George G Meade, in Maryland, can read their stuff faster 
 than it is typed. Giving users a false sense of security which is very very 
 dangerous. Always think before you write or send anything over the Web it is 
 absolutely insecure!

[Spooks] UNID Spy Numbers Or Spoof 6955 AM 1527 UTC

[Chris Smolinski]

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this 
list

The following series of numbers were transmitted on 6955 kHz AM, today at 1527 
UTC: 

6 15 1 8 20 7 14 9 4 14 5 16 13 9 16 4 13 3 25 14 14 21 2 18 15 6 20 14 5 4 
9 19 5 18 16 15 12 4 9 19 19 25 5 11 14 15 13 1 9 1 9 1 9 1 9

I suspect that it is 1) a simple substitution cipher and 2) mostly likely a 
spoof vs a real numbers station (but you never know).

Anyone care to take a stab at decoding it?

OK... this really is on the radio. I had it on 7524 USB at 2332 UTC, with an 
S9+10 signal.

Log here on the HFU:

Yes, it is obviously NOT the real E3, just someone playing games. Still, fun. 
Thanks, whoever you are.  Oh, and give it a try on 6925, you will get a lot 
more listeners there.

 When you say like a dit, do you literally mean a short tone?  Or more like a 
 burst of static-like noise?
 
 Lately I've been hearing relatively strong static-like noise bursts at 
 regular intervals, but I think it's probably just some kind of noise.

I posted a partial list of frequencies here: 
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,10533.0.html
They stopped at 1724z, we need to see if they go back on the air, the 
frequencies may change.
The 4 and 5 MHz transmissions were S9, so a location within a few hundred miles 
of me (roughly Washington DC) seem likely .

[Spooks] The Cuban Follies - Cuban Spy Numbers V2A/HM01? 17480 AM 2202 UTC 21 Feb 2013

The Cuban Follies continue... 

Presumed V2A, hearing the Cuban SS YL, but the carrier drops out every so 
often.  

No, I guess it is HM01, I heard a short PSK burst when the carrier came back 
on. Now dead air. Back again at 2206z. 

Pedro is insufficiently dedicated to the revolution.

First noted this morning around 1245z, it has gone off and back on the air 
several times, changing frequencies. Currently (1650 UTC)  heard on:

7922
8040
8530

There appears to be two transmitters on each frequency, based on signal levels?

ID: 758//22

I am not familiar with all of the E11 variants, so I am not sure which one this 
falls into. Possibly E11c ?

I caught this on the overnight SDR recording of 6800-7000 kHz I run most 
overnights. Thanks to Sealord for mentioning it, prompting me to check the 
recording.  Very good quality.

 Depending on what you're looking to do, baudline 
 (http://www.baudline.com/) may be a possibility.  Audacity 
 (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is handy, but that is likely more 
 basic than you're looking for.  Also check out iSpectrum 
 (http://www.dogparksoftware.com/iSpectrum.html), which has some useful 
 capabilities that the other two don't.
 
 The real problem I've run into (though admittedly I haven't put a lot of 
 effort into checking in a while) is that there's no all-in-one solution 
 for OS X - basically, you end up having to take the toolbox approach 
 when what you really need is a Swiss Army Knife.
 
 One other suggestion: if you aren't already running Macports 
 (http://www.macports.org) and aren't adverse to using the commandline, 
 install it and check through the audio ports.  Most of what's in there 
 tends to be CLI-based, but it at least gives you options for 
 pre-processing the audio before dragging it into whatever package you're 
 using for visualisation.

 In reply to csmolin...@erols.com
 Any idea from where this was being broadcast?
 Was it saying an English M like em, or were they saying a phonetic Mike?
 Did you hear the broadcast start and end? or was it just apparently constant?
 And there was nothing else?
 Does this seem noteworthy to anybody else? I'm not exactly an expert
 here but does this seem strange to anybody else?
 
 I'm going to try and hear this myself because this seems like a weird one to

Hello  Mike,

indeed! Strange!  Still there ~1608z  weak S3. Was strong at daytime.

So 2 poss:

It comes from eastern/middle east, so getting weaker due to sunset or
its near me, getting weaker due to skip is getting greater now:)

Interesting note is, E10 used it sometimes in past for ABC call.

This is why such posts (virus warnings) should not be made to the 
list. They don't have anything to do with spy numbers stations. And 
many of us don't run poorly secured operating systems, so even if it 
was an active virus, we don't care ;-)





 usually, we don't bring such news, but I think, in this case it is
 necessary to protect our computers in our own interest.


Jochen, this news is months old !!

I'm on the computer every day and watch the news every night, including CNN,
this is the first I have heard of it from any source.

There's been a morse station on 6950 CW for several hours this 
evening. Any idea who it might be? Running 5LG. The beginning of each 
message starts like this:

Hello Mike,

I saw your mail :-)

Hehe nice theory! Another one is that they decode CW with software and
 the result is fed directly to the decipher engine which accepts cut
numbers. So now they're using a freeware BPSK decoder and dump the
output to the same engine :-)


From the WASP Network trial in Miami a few years back, it came out 
that the Cuban agents were using laptops with decryption software 
hidden on them. So it would certainly be a logical next step to move 
to PSK31 for data transmission, so the agent could just tune his 
radio at the correct time to automagically pick up and decode the 
message.

[Spooks] Re: [enigma2000] V21 Babbler interesting? observation

[Chris Smolinski]

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this

The V21 babbler transmissions have been consistently appearing at
around 1400 for the past couple months at least.  They have now
apparently shifted to around 1300 interestingly following the new
Daylight savings time here in the USA.  Per my observations and thanks
to a member who contacted me off list the transmissions can be heard as
follows.


Yes, I tuned to 6529 this morning just before 9 AM local to hear V21, 
realized that it was an hour early now due to the change to DST and 
was coming up on 1300z not 1400z, but then was surprised to hear V21 
anyway. Which makes me wonder now about the supposed purpose of V21, 
which has typically been claimed to be related to Cuban Air Defenses.

[Spooks] Looking for historical spy numbers loggings

[Chris Smolinski]

Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from this 
list

I'm looking for anyone who has records of spy numbers loggings from 
the past, to add to the spy numbers database, 
http://www.spynumbers.com/numbersDB/


This includes even fairly old loggings even back to the 1960s and 
1970s, as well as more recent logs that aren't already in the 
database.


By having a central repository for spy numbers loggings, it makes it 
easier for people who are researching patterns and trends in 
transmissions to find the data that they need.


I know many listeners keep their own logs in various formats, such as 
database and spreadsheet files, and even just plain text / word 
processing files.  I can convert the logs from practically any 
format, as long as the data entry system is consistent. So you don't 
need to do a  lot of work, just email your logging file(s) to me.


Likewise, listeners who don't presently enter their current loggings 
into the database, due to the effort involved (I know it can be 
tedious if you have dozens of logs per day!) can also contact me by 
email, and can send me their loggings daily in whatever format they 
wish, as long as it is consistent, I can easily import the loggings 
into the database for all to share.

Still on the air, but the format has changed. Another listener in 
Hungary is hearing it now (1600z) fairly well. It is playing what 
sounds like a tune on a flute, with perhaps some other instruments, 
and bird sounds.  Here is a URL to a recording he made: 
http://xyber.wavenet.hu:8080/keps/6878.mp3


It hasn't faded in yet here in NAm, but I'm leaving the radio on 6878

Hi Chris,
Hearing this for quite a few weeks now, over here it's a clean 
S9+10, 16.15 GMT, between the musical tones it's playing birdsong. 
Think it's possibly the signature for a BC - but as there's an 
oriental flavour to the music is it a Chinese musijam ?

Will watch it for a while.


Hi Mike,

I have a recent recording from a listener in Hungary, and it is 
playing what you describe. Curiously when I was listening last night 
(and when he was) it was only playing three or four notes, within the 
other sound effects.

V2A running on 6867 and 7975 right now (1615z).  This is a new voice 
(first reported Sept 7) and Pedro seems to be asleep  at the wheel. 
No tres(3) or nueve (9) are being sent, but the word group (that is 
what it sounds like) is being sent in some of the groups. Sounds like 
there's a slight problem with Fidel's latest text to speech 
synthesizer. Maybe it was made in Venezuela.


The transmission stopped and restarted at around 1615z also.

At 01:09:19 it had another long beep followed by short beeps. It

Could this be a time frequency?

Hi Chris  All,
This subject came up on site a few years ago, as it does from time 
to time, and if I remember correctly was completely discredited as 
one of the numbers myths.

Chris, it would have been prudent to say allegedly Havana Moon


Hi Mike,

See Popular Communications magazine, Oct and Nov 1988 for the article 
Havana Moon wrote.  There appears to be a copy of the article online 
here: http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page77.html

Greetings, all, first time poster here so be gentle...

I read something interesting in, of all places, WikiPedia,
about letter beacons.  Wiki states:

One beacon was found originating from a transmitter tied between
two palm trees on a remote beach in Florida.

Anyone know the story about that -- where it was located, freq, letter
sent, when found and by whom?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacons for the context.

Well, there are a few possible solutions. One would be an account/pwd 
system. Which might not be as painful as you'd think, since a cookie 
could store it in your browser, so you'd only need to enter it every 
so often. Another would be one of those challenges where you need to 
read the fuzzy image of some text, and type it it. I'll have to think 
about it a little bit. Other suggestions are certainly welcome!

You are joking right? You really should stay away from calling the 
Air Force and asking them about their Global HF system. Its easy to 
listen to and access but the meaning and its mission is pretty Top 
Secret. Information on a theroy of what it's purpose is can be found 
online, just Google it (GHFS, Air Force GHFS, mil air comms, 
etcAs far as calling them and demanding answers and being a rude 
a$$ it will get you no where fast even if you are paying more taxes 
than Donald Trump.Remember to them you are a nobody.


Oh, he's a somebody now.

I'm hearing a beep on 6940 Khz. USB with tune in at 0203 - 0230+ (5/16/05).
It beeps for 5 - 20, 1 second beeps then rests about 4 seconds.  If there is
a pattern, I haven't figured it out.  Generally there is a Ute on this
frequency, but this is not that broadcast.  It sounds a little like a time
station.

I've checked several numbers data bases (Numbers and Oddities, WUN)  2002
Klingenfuss guide (the newest I have) and can't find anything specific aside
from the Ute.  Could be something mundane ... or not.

Anyone have an idea?



Sounds like Link-11

Hi
Today 16/03/2005 at 11:07 on 18000 USB I finally caught E15.
How very strange this station is!
After some time checking the tape recording I have decided that the calls I
heard were:
Queen-Baker-London then Baker-India-Charlie.
The signal was very poor and it did not come up on the other expected
frequencies later.
I have placed a mp3 clip on my spy number web page.
Have a listen and see if you agree with my QBL and BIC?
It was very difficult with the strong accent of the reader, I am least sure
about the Baker in both cases.
Oh loop bearing from my QTH was 90' but I don't feel that to be accurate!
My QTH West Sussex UK.
Good catch. I have been trying to hear E15 here (east coast USA) for 
many years now, and still haven't. The time/freq choices make 
propagation to NAm virtually impossible. I believe there has been one 
logging of E15 in extreme north eastern Canada, so I still keep my 
hopes up!

Chris,
I mean no disrespect but the veracity of this fact is becoming more
and more doubtful. Check this link:
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html
The author writes The paper isn't generally available yet. At this
point I can't tell if the attack is real, but the paper looks good and
this is a reputable research team.
Dated as of February 15th. Paper yet to be published...mmm, I wonder why?
Papers take quite a while to be published, esp in a peer reviewed 
journal. This is how you keep cold fusion type stuff out of good 
journals.

Hi list,
Been hearing a blank carrier on 5919 for about 4 hours
so far, very very  strong signal in my Pennslyvania
USA locale.
I make the freq to be 5919.958 kHz. Solid S9+20 signal here in 
Maryland. Definately local propagation characteristics. Reminds  me 
of E5 carriers from Warrenton, in fact. Hmm... Bears watching.
I got 9519.975 with a receiver with GPS disciplined frequency standard.
However, it was -127dBm, so I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Greetings from Northern Colorado...
That reminds me, I have not calibrated the SDR14 against WWV 
lately... doing that yields a carrier freq of 5919.957. Hmm, not too 
far off from before.  -69dBm here with a 48mb dipole aimed towards 
euroland (and presumably picking up off the back end aimed somewhat 
towards Virginia ;-)

I need to look into getting a GPS freq ref to feed into the SDR14.
I guess I will just leave the 545 tuned in, and listen to hear if any 
audio pops up.

Tuned to 5919.958 USB and got a +45 on my S meter here in Richmond. 
Switching to AM mode, it seems to be a religous broadcast station 
somewhere
close by.  Still pumping a +30 to +45 signal after 45 minutes.  I 
believe it is located near DC.

Thanks for the report. A Remington, VA QTH is looking better all the 
time. Still just a carrier, no audio here.

I don't want to clutter up the list with a lot of chatter, so I'll
just put this here: Late last night (early this morning, actually) I
caught my first ever Numbers station. I've been trying to hear one
since the late 90s, so it was kind of a big deal for me.
I recorded it in my audioblog:
http://wwdnaudblog.blogspot.com/2005/02/attencion-attencion.html
Good catch for CA!  Take a look at http://www.spynumbers.com for some 
recent v2 (attencion station) logs, they're in the database. Also 
look at the recent v2c schedule posted, there are several daily 
transmissions that should be fairly easy to hear.

Re: [Spooks] Sam Signal Strength

[Chris Smolinski]

I am however old enough to have a young adult son who has truly impressive
knowledge of an arcane subject (unfortunately not radio) and a good sense of
humor.  Looking at Mike and his friends, I still wonder about someone(s)
with really good radio knowledge (somewhat arcane) and a good sense of
humor.  A stellar prank would be to do a broadcast that: 1) Jumps
frequencies (to use computer control knowledge) 2) uses an artificial wave
form that looks like a data burst (to throw folks off), 3) DSB (because it
is unusual), 4) loop a cartoon character (because it's funny), 5) runs
automatically from a remote location (to not get caught), and 6) appeals to
a small but enthusiastic group of people (so you get noticed and stay
anonymous at the same time). WWB frequencies might have been taking it too
far (that's interfering and might get the person caught by the FCC), so he /
she / they went back to other frequencies.
Doing something funny that is basically harmless, anonymous and noticeable
while being very clever are the hallmarks of a prank in my book.  A
successful prank also means you don't get caught.  Sam's timing has also
appeared when college students may not have a lot to do.  On my scale of
pranks it would rank a 10 on a 1 - 10 scale - if a prank.  I also doubt a
drunk ham, but still wonder about a smart and underemployed person(s) with
impressive radio and computer knowledge.  Could be some government plot, but
I'm still not convinced.  Of course, all speculation on my part.
Mark T.
Agreed. This is a prank. And a very good one at that. Modifying a ham 
rig to do DSB is not that difficult. Nor is using a very cheap 
computer to command it to switch frequencies and play the audio. 
Heck, a microcontroller would do. Likewise a simple switchable 
antenna tuner could be used allow operation on the various 
frequencies from one antenna. There's nothing here to suggest any 
sort of government operation. Indeed, all the facts so far suggest 
the government is not involved.

I just want to get my Yosemite Sam QSL ;-)

I don't understand all this speculation about the location of YS...

states quite unequivocally that the FCC DFed it as being near 
Albuquerque NM in December last year.  From the pattern of reception 
here in southern CA I see no reason to say that it's moved since 
then.
As to the purpose of it, well that's another matter! Dan
ac6ao / g3ncr
Bear in mind... that's based on a ham radio intruder watch report, so 
while I reported it as such, you never really know. I have never 
heard that the station was officially busted.

 Greetings:
I've heard speculation that Sam is in Arizona or New Mexico.
I'm in NE Arizona, using an RX-320 with a 600' north-south longwire about
80' off the ground.  Here is what I observed at 05:15 UT:
3700: Sam sounds close, but not enough to cover all QRN
4300: lots of QRM here (FAX), but Sam is strong enough to block most of it
6500: QRM here too (weather and FAX), but Sam is barely readable underneath
10500: No Sam at all
Sounds to me like:
1) Sam is close with very low power--which means east coast probably cannot
hear him at this time
2) Sam is somewhat distant from Arizona/New Mexico
Is my thinking correct?
Well, you're certainly not in the ground wave zone. We need to find 
someone who can hear Sam on 3700 24 hrs a day. That person would be 
fairly close to Sam, within maybe 500 hundred or so miles. That would 
at least narrow down the QTH to a region of the country. The best 
comparison to Sam's 3700 kHz I can make is CHU on 3330 kHz. In my 
location,  north central Maryland, I can get it most of the day, 
during normal solar/geomag conditions.

A very significant observation.  Sounds like Sam has a single 
transmitter with automatic QSY every 10 seconds.
Yes, this was observed with the first Sam transmissions back in December.

I'm not in NE, but I am in Maryland, and have Sam weak on 10500, 6500 
not heard at the moment (1820 UTC)
