- GekkePrutser 6y agoI don't think so. Radio beacons are sending the same information constantly. And are well documented. The numbers stations were sending seemingly random strings of numbers non-stop. They were a typical cold-war phenomenon shrouded in much mystery.
- rightbyte 6y agoOh. Ye well obviously each number sequence has to correspond to pre-written orders? And mostly they sent numbers that had no corresponding value to cover actual activity? Or maybe it was a joke to waste foreign intelligence resources?
