Secret Transmission Detected from North Korea [Have you heard anything unusual on shortwave bands?]

Clear for now. Over LV in about an hour.

And there are better frequencies, like VLF for subs,

That is why I suspected the transmission was not directed to subs. Why would they transmit to subs on a SW freq?

However, I can still imagine agents receiving instructions via numeric codes on SW freqs. I have a copy of Passport to Worldband Radio 2009 that shows how N. Korean agents receive instructions this way. Also, I have heard numeric codes in plain voice (Spanish) on SW freqs before.

Of course the actual, intended recipient is speculation on my part.

[Celtic Conservative]

Ah, the vaunted "Chicago" code.

That was back in January.

May not be what Rand Paul is saying now.

I find Geraldo to be grating no matter what he says.

Submarine carries a nuke and 'sneaks' to mexico.

Nuke unloaded in Mexico, and is loaded on a plane.

The plane flies to the middle of the country, setting off an EMP.

[Colorado Doug]

I really do have to get a shortwave tranceiver.

[Campion]

To get serious EMP effects, you have to detonate above 150 miles. No airplane can do that.

[MarMema]

Well you just bring it to the Washington coast, dude. You won’t be there long.

My neighbors fifty years ago built a bomb shelter back in the Cuban missile crisis days. Wonder if it’s still standing.

NSA satellites and associated processing power on the ground will triangulate EVERY signal now in the time it takes for the signal to go up and down plus a few milliseconds.

[JoeProBono]

[Prospero]

So called "number stations," for the most part, were used primarily as a distraction, sending gibberish to overload decoding branches in the old days. They were particularly active out of Cuba, and they also commonly operated on side bands of regular broadcasters.

Not saying "nothing to see hear," mind you. Just sayin'

Actually, this feed looks a little infantile.

[Texas Fossil]

Not at all surprised.

NSA has always been light years ahead of other agencies as far as technical methods are concerned. Not New.

I remember when I first read the Puzzle Palace. That was interesting.

Became a history student after reading Anthony Brown’s “The Bodyguard of Lies”. (1976) Amazing stuff. Studied WWII sig/intel history for 9 years after that before I tired of that subject.

I think another good sig book I read was “Deep Black” (might not be the exact title). It has been a while. There were others. Some I still have and others I loaned out and never got back. Happens often.

The advent of the Keyhole satellites really enabled that trade.

[Frank_2001]

Sounds like they’re setting up a numbers racket;)

[Joe Boucher]

To keep the money flowing to our defense suppliers, we needs a boogie man.
If there isn’t one then we’ll create one.

[SunkenCiv]

They’re a pair of demagogues.

[Joe Boucher]

We have listening devices set up to listen to resonate frequencies made by ALL ships including subs.
if we want we should be able to shoot them like ducks in a pond.
