This is a copy of The Numbers Racket CD-ROM, which I prepared back in 1998. I am presenting it here, unedited, for historical purposes. Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.

Like what you see here? Help support my work by taking a look at my software , and buy something of interest :) It's all available for download before purchase, so you can try it out.

Enjoy!


The Buzzer

The Buzzer

Another truly strange operation, this station has only been known to transmit a message once - on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1997, at 2145, the following was heard:
Series of slow audio pips
Voice announcements by RR/OM (same voice as S13 and S14)
Place names were given (Rome, Paris,etc) followed by two 4 figure groups
Above repeated
Three tones
Audio pips
Buzzing returned
It's possible that this date/time (Christmas Eve) was chosen since many intelligence organizations would be short-staffed, due to the holidays. It's also possible that the date was purely random.

The Buzzer appears to occupy the frequency of 4625 khz 24 hours a day.

Here's one that is somewhat like The Buzzer, but has a different pitch and period. It was recorded several years ago.
