If you live somewhere like the US west coast you can even use an $8 digital shortwave radio (V-111 is a good reference model of this type) and it's very easy to pick them up in the morning, just go for a walk and hit scan. Same with Cuban numbers stations.
When you're tired of inscrutable audio you can switch over to RNZ or BBC Pacifica and there's often good programming.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoDo you have frequencies for the Cuban number stations?
- op00to 5y agoPart of the fun is discovering the communities that follow this stuff.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoOP here. I have not found any such community. Do you know any?
- themodelplumber 5y agoThey change. If you want to try direct tuning you'll want to check with monitoring groups or newest YouTube videos, etc. Otherwise if you are in the US...aka near a secret agent ;-)... scanning around works well enough. I don't know if this is still the case but they used to use a freeware Windows XP encryption application. The amused author wrote a bit about it, IIRC.
- vladoski 5y agoI don't but sometimes I enjoy listening to Radio Reloj. It's so unique.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y ago> just go for a walk and hit scan Direct tune to 9435 or 11710 at either 6:00 AM or 8:00 AM Pacific time. You’re not going to find it on "scan" without scanning through literally thousands of other stations first and without setting the scan sensitivity very high. You're going to become very frustrated long before you find it that way.
- themodelplumber 5y agoNah, it's not that hard. The V-111 will pick up about 8-15 stations off the whip on a SW band scan these days on the US west coast in the morning. In very good conditions you may perhaps have to wade through 30-50 stations, and DPRK will be among the most clear.
