 THE CONET PROJECT-Recordings Of Short-Wave Numbers Station 4XCD + BOOK

Numbers Stations are found all over the shortwave spectrum. They emit unusual transmissions of synthesized voices 
reading sets of phonetic letters and or numbers. The origin of these stations is in dispute. Their purpose is 
unclear. There are many dozens of different signal types on the air, each run by different organizations. Some of 
these organizations should have been closed down after the 'end of the cold war', yet they continue to transmit 
like clockwork. No one has ever compiled a set of Numbers Stations recordings for sale to the public. Until now. 

The Conet Project: a Quadruple CD of 150 recordings covering 25 years of Numbers Station activity, with detailed 
logs, essays, and a definitive lookup table of all known Numbers Stations, including Morse Numbers Stations. An 
invaluable and fascinating resource for all listeners, this is the definitive reference work on the mysterious 
field of Numbers Stations, containing very rare recordings from as early as 1971 and up to date examples of 
currently operating stations.
The Quadruple CD comes with a 80page perfect bound booklet in two jewel cases, with a post card.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
 What Are Numbers Stations?
Numbers Stations are the secret communications of intelligence agencies such as MOSSAD, MI6, CIA, KGB, BND, StB, 
and so on.
 Where are Number Stations Found?
Numbers Stations are found on the Shortwave part of the radio spectrum. 
 How do we know for sure that Numbers Stations are spy communications?
One example: A man posing as an art dealer was caught listening to the Numbers Station OLX when the police swooped 
down on his hideout. He was working for Czech intelligence, infiltrating Jewish groups in the west. He was caught 
in the act of transcribing his instructions.
 What do people use to hear them?
You do not need any special equipment to listen to numbers Stations; any standard Shortwave radio will do.
 How far do Numbers Stations reach?
Numbers Stations can be heard on every part of the globe, 24 hours a day.
 Where do Numbers Stations transmit from?
Some of the transmitters have been located by enthusiasts with direction finding equipment (one was 'DF'd to 
Warrenton Virginia), but for the most part, transmitter locations are unknown.
 What do the numbers mean?
Numbers Stations messages are encrypted (scrambled) with a system known as a 'one time pad'. In the one time pad 
'cryptosystem' text messages are turned into groups of numbers by adding a specially generated random number to the 
'Plaintext' or original message. Only the people that have the 'pad' can decipher the message. This encryption method 
cannot be broken.
 Why do the Stations use music to identify themselves?
There are many questions like this, that remain unanswered, because no government will admit to transmitting Numbers. 
Its a mystery.
 Do Numbers Stations interfere with Air Traffic Control?
Yes. Numbers Stations have been known to interfere with essential radio services like Air Traffic Control and Shipping.
 How were the recordings collected?
A message was sent out onto the Internet, asking Shortwave listeners with tape archives to contribute to the project. 
We received tapes from all over the globe.
 How long have Numbers Stations been on the air?
For at least 30 years. Early messages took the form of strange sentences, spoken at the end of news broadcasts. 
Announcers were sometimes heard saying, 'For the benefit of our friends overseas: Peter has painted his fence red. I 
repeat, Peter has Painted his fence red'
 Why has there never been a major news article about Numbers Stations?
You tell us!
 Why don't spies just pick up the telephone, or use the Internet?
Spies cant use any form of wired communication because a wire has two ends, and from that, 'the enemy' can know that 
you are receiving communications on a regular basis. This is known as 'Traffic Analysis' and can reveal the activities 
of spies very easily since all international calls are monitored and all Internet traffic is word-scanned.

Social Context
The cold war is over. Defense spending is being wound down. Spying is on the increase. This is the contradiction that 
Numbers Stations present us with. Why is it, after the fall of the Berlin wall that the amount of Numbers Station 
traffic has increased? Logically it should have declined as everyone turns their efforts to peace and commerce.
 What is on the CD?
Over 80 different examples of Numbers Stations, all having different voices and callups. Go to 
http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~irdial/coneline.htm to hear examples of Numbers Stations.
 How Unique is the CD?
This CD set is absolutely unique. It is the first time that anyone has compiled a set of Numbers Station recordings for 
sale to the public.
