ENIGMA M23 Recorded June 22, 1998 at 1500z on 7795 kHzThis 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 Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.

Another strange station always changing times and frequencies.Can use 2 3 or 5 figure identical IDs.Or strings of dots, Vs or Is, and no figures.ID variants, 2 figure even/odd, 3 figure even/odd, 3 zeros, 5 zeros, 5 fives, 5 ones,etc, Vs with gap every half minute, Is with gap every half minute, Continuous Vs, continuous Is. In some cases of 3 figure IDs if all figures are odd there is no message, even if there will be a message sent.
They do have one regular transmission, that has been going now for almost a year. It is on daily at 0800 and 1400. 2 Frequencies used at same time 8307 and 9285. It just sends the ID 579 for 10 minutes.
When they do send a message they use long zeros and the format is
Call Preamble Message Repeat Ending 00000 R3 To 20 = 33 33 = 33x5f = IMI IMI = 33 33 = =First and last groups are normally the same. Not all groups are random.
One frequency that has seen regular use is 6999 at 1100 Many variants on this theme, some are all 3 fig groups are 2 parallel frequencies, others not.
