UNID Numbers 6952 USB 1500 UTC 01 DEC 2022
« on: December 01, 2022, 1541 UTC »
Started at  1500 UTC with about a minute of flute music followed by what sounded like a computer-generated female voice with an English accent saying "this is, this is... 10211, 10211" followed by more 5-digit groups with each group spoken twice.

I was to slow to catch the music on my recording, so it starts with the beginning of the voice transmission.

This is the same frequency and mode used by the recent Hawaiian Numbers shortwave pirate transmissions, but I'm logging it here unless anyone suggests otherwise.

This is a pirate and it belongs in North American Shortwave Pirate. The Spy Numbers board is for the numbers stations run by governments or militaries, pirates imitating numbers stations do not belong in this board.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

Roger. I don't see a way for me to do that myself, at least from the mobile site.

If this is just a pirate imitating a numbers station, could one of the moderators move it to the short wave Pirates section?
