    Cuban here. V20’s bloke sounds just like I remember radio operators when I was on mandatory military service. They were always knackered. Their joke motto was something like being always working extra time because the equipment being so old. Good times.

    Closest thing I've heard to the "Lazy man" was some drunk on 20 meters who, for 40 straight minutes said "sieg heil" over and over and over in the same monotone voice. Goes without saying that he never properly identified his "station". Though a suffix of A@@ would have been appropriate.

    I would love you to chat in a bit more detail about analogue mobile phones. What frequencys were used which were around 800 to 900 and each phone had a near specific frequency. I sold my scanner to some black lad in early 2000s and glad I did. We plugged it in and then heard a 999 call and it was about a motorbike incident. They didn't want to remove the helmet as he was already decapitated. From that moment on I'm glad it went digital.

    As someone who knows almost nothing of the use of these stations, can someone enlighten me?
    For the number stations that repeat numbers at regular interval (every day or week or month or whatever), are they typically confirmation messages? The transmissions seem short so I don't feel like they could transmit much information aside from normal things like "things are good" or "we have a problem" or something like that. I don't know anything about these and it's very mysterious lol

    • @rkirke1
      @rkirke1 Рік тому +4

      I think a lot were speculated to be used with "One time books" (cipher decoding books distributed by the intelligence service), or references to words in other pre-arranged books or publications. eg. three numbers could be a reference to the page, line and word # in a book. That way each three or so numbers could refer to a single word, with plenty of combinations possible for each word. It also meant that an agent in the field would only need access to a shortwave radio and a copy of an innocuous book or publication to decode instructions, so they would never have incriminating items on their person (i.e someone could have access to nothing but a specific edition of Shakespeare's Hamlet and a "world band" radio in a hotel to receive very specific instructions of "kill the king's son tomorrow" using only a dozen or so broadcast numbers)
