North Korean numbers
station detected; possible submarine instructions
The
website
Intellihub.com features
an Op Ed piece regarding a recently detected numbers
station originating from North Korea. The station,
reported by a ham radio operator, is in single-side
band and adjacent to the Voice of Korea.
Below is an excerpt from this Op Ed piece; note my
comments following:
(Source:
Intellihub.com)
Within hours of South Korean news sources
breaking a story that several Sang-Ho class
submarines had disappeared from their North
Korean bases, a ham radio operator named Tim,
picked up a “numbers station” broadcasting on
the same frequency as “The Voice of Korea”
propaganda station. [check
out our recent post] What makes this
even more interesting is that at the tail end of
the numbers transmission there was a long
duration digital transmission as well.
So what makes this number station significant
is the proximity in timing to the disappearance
of the San-Ho class submarines, as well as the
digital transmission.
[...]What is more significant is the digital
signal at the end of the transmission. Digital
transmissions such as this one may indicate the
presence of a burst transmission which contains
a compressed and encrypted message bound for
some covert force, somewhere. Typically a burst
transmission is used to minimize the download
time at the end point to prevent discovery. The
unusual part of this potential burst
transmission is being attached to a numbers
station as well as the length and the power of
the broadcast. Normal burst transmissions are
in the one second to two second range. This
transmission was in the 10 to 15 second range
which is almost unheard of, unless the end point
is a submarine.
[...]The ham operator who picked up this
particular transmission was located in the
Midwest of the United States, and he reported
the transmission was received 4 by 5 indicating
a significant power was used to send the
transmission. That level of power coupled with
the length and possible submarine end point
opens up a new and alarming tangent to this
escalating conflict. It is important to point
out that the numbers are being read in Spanish
but that is typically done to confuse the
original source of the transmission. In this
case the transmission was detected on a upper
side band of the AM range used by the Voice of
Korea so while the numbers are Spanish the
transmission does appear to originate in North
Korea. That fact coupled with the missing
submarines seems to provide evidence of the
nature of the transmission despite being in
Spanish. Its also important to note that the
numbers being in Spanish could also be used to
employ a different set of codes in the
operatives code books.
Short digital bursts, as they describe, are not
necessarily that uncommon since the Cuban numbers
station,HM01,
has been doing this for
years. (Indeed, perhaps North Korea got
a little help from Havana?) You can hear audio from
HM01
here and
here and learn how
to
decode RDFT (HM01′s digital
mode) here.

the years he participated in several operations - 5K0Z, XU7AJS, 5T5DC,
6V7M, TO8YY, 9H9OB, XV4YY and HU2DX to name a few. The other two team
