Numbers Station - УВБ-76 "The Buzzer"
The phenomenon of "Numbers Stations" has captured the attention and intrigued the curious since they were first noticed shortly after the end of WW1. Typically they were used for espionage and super secret spying on both sides of the iron curtain.
Number stations transmit encrypted messages in forms of numbers, sound, letters, Morse code or digital signals. The recipient of the message can be almost anywhere in the world, and receive instructions without fear of being traced through a phone call or internet connection. All the recipient needs is a shortwave radio, the deciphering code and to be in the right place at the right time.
