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 Obviously most if not all of the information is 'out of date' today, but think of it as a snapshot of what the Spy Numbers scene was like in the late 1990s.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

Old Phonetic Alphabet Stations

Here are an interesting bunch of stations. These stations transmit their messages using phonetic letters (much like the Israeli MOSSAD stations), but instead of using the modern (NATO) phonetic alphabet, they use the much older phonetic alphabet which was in use prior to World War II.
A three letter identifier is transmitted at the start of the broadcast, and then the message is sent in five letter groups. A male announcer is used.

Schedule:

Time   Frequecy   Call
1100    18000     BEC
1200    17503     USP
1230    11170     MSA
1300    11000     BEC
1400    14000     FYP
1630    6715      MSA
1700    14000     FYP
1730    5834      MSA
1800    5834      USP
1900    4130      SAR
2000    5530      NAS
2100    4130      MSA

Signal strengths of these stations have been reported to be rather strong near Greece, so the transmitting site may be close by.
