	Talk:Numbers station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also, given the relatively mysterious nature of numbers stations, such details about the amplifiers used would seem to be firmly in the realm of speculation, and hence should be denoted as such.
		The author then went on to assert that a numbers station believed to be Taiwanese has 5,000 codes for spies, despite the unlikelihood that Taiwan has so many overseas spies.
		For example, a number station believed to be operated by Taiwan has about 5,000 different codes for spies, despite the unlikelihood that Taiwan has so many spies.

	Meteorological Station Location Information
		Station numbers iii corresponding to a common block number (II) except 89 are usually distributed so that the zone covered by a block number is divided into horizontal strips; e.g.
		Station index numbers for station in the Antarctic are allocated by the Secretary-General in accordance with the following scheme:
		For station for which an international numbers are no longer available within the above scheme, the algorithm will be expanded by adding 20 to xx for west longitudes (range of index numbers 200-380) and 70 for east longitudes (range of index numbers 700-880) to provide new index numbers.

	[No title]
		Numbers stations and the covert operations that surround them have tried to maintain their secrecy for years, yet can now be accessed from the comfort of your armchair.
		As for a numbers station using one of the 10kW SW transmitters, this is unlikely or impossible when you consider that the low power SW transmitters and their not very efficient antennas would get less far than the 140kW transmitters that were used by the Stasi secret services in the GDR.
		The stations are basically broadcasting a secret code and at first sound or sight they appear to be a random set of Numbers harking back to the realms of schoolboys secret agent games, days of home-made invisible ink made of lemons, and simple codes with Numbers corresponding to a letter, decipherable within minutes.

	Fact Sheet: A Rose by any other Number
		The original numbers were assigned according to the station's relative position on the "Index of Cities and Towns" published in the 65th edition of the Rand-McNally Atlas.
		This interesting, but precise, procedure allowed the subsequent assignment of new stations numbers over the past fifty years without exhausting the numbering system.
		The example used was that station number 1734 was about 1734/9900 of the distance between the first and last names in the state's index.

	Numbers Stations
		While numbers stations can be heard any time on any frequencies, most seem to be heard in North America during the evening and night hours on frequencies from 3 to 12 MHz.
		The received numbers are added or subtracted from the numbers on the sheet of the one-time pad being used, and the results are compared to a master code key list.
		The formats used by the five-digit and 3/2-digit stations follow two well known cryptological techniques.

	Salon People Feature Counting spies
		"Numbers station enthusiasts are usually in their late 30s, because they would have had to grow up with shortwave, which most people consider a dead media these days, but also they're usually what we call Anoraks, obsessive nerd types into railway engines and things like that," he says.
		A rare mainstream media article about numbers stations published in the Daily Telegraph last year quoted a spokesman for the Department of Trade and Industry, responsible for regulating the airwaves in the U.K.: "These [numbers stations] are what you suppose they are.
		"Alleged" is a key word here when talking about the numbers stations' purpose, even though it seems that everyone with their ear to the airwaves is in agreement as to the stations' spy connection.

	Explanation
		In assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between partial-record stations and other stations; therefore, the station number for a partial-record station indicates downstream-order position in a list made up of all types of stations.
		For water-quality stations equipped with electronic monitors and digital recorders, the record consists of a daily maximum, minimum, and mean values for each constituent measured and are based upon hourly punches beginning at 0100 hours and ending at 2400 hours for the day of record.
		The complete eight-digit number for each station, such as 06642000, which appears just to the left of the station name, includes the two-digit Part number "06" plus the six-digit downstream-order number "642000." The Part number designates the major river basin; for example, Part "06" is the Missouri River basin.

		While you acknowledge that those numbers were not locally listed, you contend that the stations' practices complied with the rule because it does not specifically require that toll-free numbers be locally listed.
		You contend that the later consolidation of the stations' main studios at the Tulsa location was undertaken for economic reasons, and with the assistance of a broadcast consulting firm that failed to advise you that such relocation would first require a waiver of the Commission's rules.
		Except for the name of the licensee or the station's frequency or channel number, or both, as stated on the station's license, no other insertion between the call letters and station location is permissible.

	Covert Comms 1997 article
		The most basic definition of a spy numbers station is a station broadcasting groups of numbers read by a male (OM) or female (YL) voice on the high-frequency (HF) bands.
		Of course, there are also a large number of Morse code (CW) and radioteletype (RTTY) numbers stations as well.
		The number groups of the message are either added to or subtracted from the current day's number, without carrying any numbers.

	USGS Open-File Report 2005-1027, An Operational Mean High Water Datum for Determination of Shoreline Position from Topographic Lidar Data, List of Tables
		Descriptions of the tide station data that were used to determine the operational MHW elevation for each zone are given in the "Notes" section, as are details on why the particular boundaries for each zone were chosen.
		Stations marked with a dagger (†) are ones whose elevations for MHW and MHHW above NAVD 88 were calculated using the Mean Tide Level (MTL) Method, which assumes a constant elevation of MTL above NAVD 88 (-0.14 m) along the coasts of New England and New York.
		Station names marked with an asterisk (*) are near-open coast stations: ones that are not fully located on the open coast but were needed to fill gaps where few or no open coast stations were found.

	Secret Signals
		This station had a very distinctive interval signal (musical marker) and it is difficult to describe the eerie feeling one got when hearing it.
		When the station broadcasts it usually sends a numerical identifier to single out the page of the pad to be used for that particular message.
		After the last message the word "ende" was sent and the station fell silent until five minutes before the next hour when the sinister-sounding electronic tones were sent again, heralding a new set of headings and messages.

	Gas Station Numbers
		Due to rapidly increasing prices, a certain gas station has used all of its available digits to display the current price.
		Many gas stations use plastic digits on an illuminated sign to indicate prices.
		The digit ``2" looks a bit like a ``5" upside down (well, at least enough so that gas stations use it).

	Internet Archive: Details: The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059]
		Numbers Stations (and by inference, spies) are as busy as ever, with many new and bizarre stations appearing since the fall of the Berlin wall.
		These stations use very rigid schedules, and transmit in many different languages, employing male and female voices repeating strings of numbers or phonetic letters day and night, all year round.
		The number stations are still active, but are not so easily found nowadays.

		Some have speculated that the signals from these "numbers stations" are operated by drug cartels.
		Number station signals are not low-powered, which would suggest in-the-field broadcasts by clandestine operatives.
		As shortwave is abandoned by public broadcasters in favor of satellite and the internet, these curious stations continue to broadcast, seemingly unaffected by the end of the Cold War or the development of new technologies.

	Reports and statistics: Use of station numbers in annual reports
		The abbreviated station number will be placed on all Quality of Water Branch gaging-station manuscript descriptions immediately to the left of and on the line with the station name.
		Although numbers will be assigned for most locations we recognize that a few samples will be obtained for special purposes and we are not justified in giving them a number.
		When the sampling site is different from the gaging station, the same number as that for the gaging station should still be used if that number would be assigned were the gage moved to the sampling site.

		The formats of these stations are not as well known as the YL stations, due to their limited number of transmissions.
		This station is also referred to as The Counting Station due to the count heard at the beginning of the broadcast, and is believed to be operated by the CIA.
		I have heard many stations which seem to be using reduced carrier sideband, with modulation on one of the sidebands, and a lower power carrier, sufficient for reception on AM receivers.

		The latest numbers from Arbitron – radio’s equivalent of the Nielsen TV ratings – help stations to establish ad rates, to show how many people in a local market listen to a particular station and to provide demographic details of that listenership.
		Most of the advertising at the stations is still sold on a station-by-station basis, but the cluster strategy is gaining momentum, fueled by the appearance in the early part of this year of the Fish station in the ratings book.
		Some of the stations on which RBC aired programming didn’t appear in the Arbitron survey, failing to achieve the minimum number of responses required among the listeners participating in the survey for that period.
