Secret Transmission Detected From North Korea, There’s MORE!

As tensions escalate along the Korean peninsula and new and alarming
element has come into play. Within hours of South Korean news sources
breaking a story
that several Sang-Ho class submarines had disappeared from their North
Korean bases, a ham radio operator named Tim in the Midwest here in the
United States picked up a “numbers station” broadcasting on the same
frequency as “The Voice of Korea”
propaganda station. What makes this even more interesting is that at
the tail end of the numbers transmission there was a long duration
digital transmission as well.

So why is this important and alarming?

There are several reasons why this new development is particularly
alarming. The first being the existence of the numbers station coming
online shortly after the submarines put to sea, but more importantly is
the digital transmission apparently tacked onto the end of the
transmission and the ramifications of that transmission.

Numbers Station?




Throughout the Cold War numbers stations were used to convey
encrypted messages to covert operatives. The station would come online
broadcast a series of numbers, possibly multiple times, then disappear
into the darkness. Those numbers were used as coded messages to be
decrypted on the other end by the in country operative. Examples of
these numbers stations can be found at The Conet Project Archives.
So what makes this number station significant is the proximity in
timing to the disappearance of the San-Ho class submarines, as well as
the digital transmission. It is important to point out that the
Sang-Ho submarines in question were effectively purpose built for
covert insertion of small teams of North Korean Maritime Commandos who are part of North Korea’s much lauded Special Operations Force. So at this moment there is a covert North Korean force apparently heading for South Korea.

The
Sang-Ho submarines can carry as many as 30 commandos per submarines
giving the current submarines a combined force of around 60 troops.
Those 60 troops are specially trained to carry out behind enemy lines
covert actions such as sabotage and assassinations. So in this case the
numbers station was most likely broadcasting a special code to North
Korean operatives to announce the impending arrival of the covert
operations teams.

The Digital Transmission

What is more significant is the digital signal at the end of the
transmission. Digital transmissions such as this one may indicate the
presence of a burst transmission
which contains a compressed and encrypted message bound for some covert
force, somewhere. Typically a burst transmission is used to minimize
the download time at the end point to prevent discovery. The unusual
part of this potential burst transmission is being attached to a
numbers station as well as the length and the power of the broadcast.
Normal burst transmissions are in the one second to two second range.
This transmission was in the 10 to 15 second range which is almost
unheard of, unless the end point is a submarine.

The ham operator who picked up this particular transmission was
located in the Midwest of the United States, and he reported the
transmission was received 4 by 5 indicating a significant power was
used to send the transmission. That level of power coupled with the
length and possible submarine end point opens up a new and alarming
tangent to this escalating conflict. It is important to point out that
the numbers are being read in Spanish but that is typically done to
confuse the original source of the transmission. In this case the
transmission was detected on a upper side band of the AM range used by
the Voice of Korea so while the numbers are Spanish the transmission
does appear to originate in North Korea. That fact coupled with the
missing submarines seems to provide evidence of the nature of the
transmission despite being in Spanish. Its also important to note that
the numbers being in Spanish could also be used to employ a different
set of codes in the operatives code books.

Now
the really alarming part, if the submarines and number station wasn’t
alarming enough. One of the things that hasn’t been discussed in
mainstream news is the fact that North Korea has between 22 to 24
diesel electric submarines of the Romeo Class. These subs, which are
heavily antiquated and for the most part decommissioned, are capable of
open ocean missions. They have also been successfully retrofitted to
carry a small anti-ship cruise missile, actually six of those missiles
and while the YJ-8, the missile used for those retrofits, is an
anti-ship missile (similar to the Exocet in use) they could carry a
conventional warhead used to hit a building, damage a runway or some
other kind of ground based target. But its not beyond the pale to
suggest that the warhead could be modified to carry a more interesting
payload and it is important to remember that North Korea does have one
of the largest chemical weapons stockpiles in the world. The submarine
in question also has a range of over 9,000 miles but a top speed of 8
knots which is fairly slow. Its also a diesel so the submarine would
would have to run on the surface to recharge batteries of let off
exhaust from its engines which is a byproduct of their origin which was
late war German U-Boats. Its also important to note that Romeo Class
submarines which have been retrofitted must fire their missiles from
the surface.

We
don’t currently know if any of the Romeo Class submarines are missing,
and if they are where they are going or even if they have been
retrofitted but if they have then they represent a significant risk to
Japan, Guam and even the western coast of the United States. As I said
it’s impossible to know if that is the game plan but experts I
consulted seem to believe that a burst of that size and power would be
destined for a submarine be it Sang-Ho or Romeo Class.

All things being equal the transmission could have also been
destined for the commando forces aboard the Sang-Ho submarines, which
we know from news reports are at sea, or targeted for the operatives
that will be meeting the covert operations teams on their arrival.

At this point we only have the transmission to go on, but its
ramifications are both interesting and alarming at the same time. The
transmission and the missing submarines also indicate a significant
escalation in the deteriorating Korean political situation. Given the
deadline North Korea has issued for embassies to shutdown and their
staffs to depart we will soon find out.

Tune into Ground Zero Radio Tuesday 4.9.13 – Clyde Lewis will be doing a special show on Numbers Stations and we will be discussing this evolving story.

The Transmission


Thanks again to Tim for finding this broadcast and bringing it to
our attention, and as with all things like this please do your own
research and come to your own conclusions. What I have provided here
is just a few of the possible scenarios gleaned from research and the
news of the day but it is by no means the only option. The information
presented is fairly easy to find with some good keyword searching on
your favorite search engine as well as the Wikpedia and FAS.org. So
trust no one and make your own final decisions.

Oh yay.. More nuke propaganda gain. Look, North Korea is not going to attack, they have done this so many times in the past with the sole purpose of gaining wealth.

Do you honestly think they would attack America, the strongest country on the face of the Earth with a handful of troops and a nuke that can be disabled from space? I think not.

You just need to look at South Korea, are they bothered? No, they aren't, in fact they are more concerned about what's for lunch than a threat from the North.

I will admit that the whole thing is scary but you need to step back, take a deep breath then examine the situation and use common sense.

They real threat is in Syria.
