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 Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.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 M13

Morse Station M13

Sent in ICW, very rarely in MCW. Another group constantly changing frequencies and times. Can be found on anywhere between 3.8 and 12 Mhz. Can be recognised as it is sent very slowly, about 9 WPM, and the signal is very strong in the UK.Messages are usually about 23 groups but they have been known to send up to 80 groups The message is sent four times in a period of 4 weeks.Has been logged between 1600 and 1000 the next day,on the hour but transmissions at Hour+30 and Hour+ 50 have been noted.A popular time seems to be at 2100 and 2200.

Repeat sequencies that have been logged: 

On the same day 1 Hour later on the same frequency.
On the same day 1 Hour later on a different frequency
On the next day at the same time on the same frequency
On the next day at the same time on a different frequency
On the same day 2 Hours later on the same frequency and also the next day
The sequence is then repeated 2 weeks later with the same message. The next transmission will be 2 weeks later, with a new message on a different frequency.

It has also been noted that some only transmit once a month. It would seem that they are using a twelve month cycle of frequencies. 

   Call  Preamble   Message     Repeat                  Ending
 261 R5 = 189 22 =  22x5f   ID sent x12 = 189 22 =   3 long dashes
M13A Format is the same only the ID is sent as 
  847 847 847 000 R5      Repeat is 4 times
This format can easily be confused with M12
