Subject: Numbers Station Phenomena: New Antenna in the World

Numbers Station Phenomena: New Antenna in the World I live across the street from the Federal Building which houses, among other things, the NSA and the Secret Service. We can't park or pull up in front of our building; the space is guarded. On the roof of our building are older television antennas, as well as satellite dishes, etc. I attached a 1970s radio kite antenna wire to one of the stranger antennas, similar to a vertical wave ground-plane configuration - I'm not sure what it's four. The wire is attached to one of the 'spokes,' runs about forty feet through a window frame. The results have been amazing; the antenna connects to a Sony ICF-6700W shortwave radio, which is a top of the line 1980s analog model; without digital noise, the sound quality is great. Even though short-wave station numbers are on the decline, there were signals from everywhere, including Turkey and Albania; there were also a number of anomalous signals, including some unusual numbers stations at 9330 and 9065 mhz, 3:30 am - 3:40 am local time. (The whole area of the band was filled with anomalous transmissions.) The signals are largely a combination of digital and analog technologies, lookup codes and encoded digital transmissions. The Spanish-speaking female voice is similar to what I've heard in the past, as is the five-digit spoken code, but the intervals are different.
