Memory lane

The Gulf exploded last week. Activity on the airwaves is at an all time high - and that includes Numbers transmissions. I've heard from many of you and other readers of the notable increase in Numbers broadcasts, in particular, Phonetic Alphabet Stations which are reportedly operated by the Mossad.

Here's a run-down on the various phonetic stations that have been heard by numerous contributors in recent days. I haven't included the times because these stations are running virtually around the clock! Check at 15 past and 15 before the hour for "channel markers". These typically broadcast the phonetic callsign and the number "Two". This appears to be an indicator that there is "no traffic" to pass. Others appear on the hour or on the half-hour with their traffic.

Callsign	Frequency (kHz)
Charlie India Oscar	6745
	10125
	17966
Echo Zulu India	6840
Juliet Sierra Romeo	7540
Kilo Papa Alpha	7445
Uniform Lima X-Ray	4881
Victor Lima Bravo	7605
	12950
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot	7918
