    There are of course the stations starting with "F" (F01, F06, etc.), they werent worth adding into the video as they all sound the same with the rtty, except F07.
    Same for M01, M12 and M14, M23, etc. sound the same with the morse.

      those Russian stations aren't numbers. its something called slow scan tv. those tones when used with the right software produce an image.

    Just recently was able to listen to Cuba's number station using WebSDR. The only thing that I still can't understand is the station after awhile starts sending what I can only asume are bursts of certain frequencies, and then goes back to numbers.

    The first time I have heard the number station was at the beginning of the Ukraine war. I searched for military transmissions, and could monitor the movement of NATO and Russian planes. Then one night I found a strange voice chanel repeating a 1-2 minute message of first a call sign and then numbers, these had la few numbers that were in the same place . Any ideas if others do this also?

    I think I might have heard some type of chinese number station the other day. It played a piano jingle for about 7 seconds, a robotic chinese guy would say a short sentence, repeat around 5 times, with it going back and forth between a female and male voice. It might have just been a weird thing chinese civilian radio stations do, because after it ended it went back to chinese music. Unfortunately i dont remember the frequency

    1:59 Reminds me of the U.S. Emergency Alert System data bursts.
    I actually came upon this because I think it might be a possible answer for a mysterious signal based in the midwest. I don't think it's the most likely answer, however.

      It's in Russian, but it pronounces numbers in a way like onesie, twosie, threesie, instead of one, two and three, respectively. So for Russian speakers it sounds unnatural
