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 Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.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 M29 VDE

Morse Station M29 VDE

This is the sister station to G4, the Three Note Oddity.

VDE Has three formats, the first M29A, is in regular use each day. Another is not heard as often but when it is can send several messages over a period of time, changing frequency each time.

The first format transmits on the same frequency for 1 month and transmits the same message for one week. The messages are usually 10 to 14 groups. Although the message is changed each week quite a lot of the same groups appear in many messages. Although the call is VVVx2 the rhythm of sending is unmistakable. Speed 12 WPM. It uses short zeros, each group is repeated twice.

It favours frequencies in the lower part of the band from 3 to 6 Mhz.
