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 Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.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!

Morse Station M10

Morse Station M10

Always uses ICW.This station uses a slightly different format of 2 figure decode key.The call up usually starts with 555 but they have been known to use other triplets,111 222 333 444 777 and 888. These are used on special broadcasts. They have also be known to use up to a 4/5 figure random ID, but only very rarely. Transmission times and frequencies are changed quite often, although they use a set of frequencies to choose from.Sometimes they use 2 frequencies but not always. Regular schedules all use 2 parallel frequencies.

The speed the message is sent is variable, usually the later message is sent at a faster speed.Call and first message 17 WPM later messages up to 25 WPM. 

     Call                 Preamble            Message       Ending
 555x3 571x3 46 (R5)   571x3 75 75 46 46 = =   46x5F  = = 75 75 46 46 000
They can have up to 4 IDs in the call, in this case the call would be 
555x3  571x3 46 275x3 25 049x3 16 435x3 41 (R5)
Then the preamble would be the same, message the same but the ending misses off the 000 and carries on to the next call which would be 275. The message can also sometimes be split into 2 parts with a different decode key for each part, but in this case the call gives the total amount of groups in the message.

Frequencies That have been used are: 

3385  3834  4029  4305  4485  4541  4573  4775  4834  4882  5007  5025  5040
5060  5085  5155  5276  5290  5301  5295  4525  5471  5503  5521  5554  5702
5737  5760  5860  6204  6758  6780  6801  6835  6943  7380  7404  7475  7845
