This is what you would call a “number station”.
Usually recorded data encoded in numerical form and looped for a length of time. May be instructions for smuggling, special ops, or just serving as a beacon of sorts.
OH! I was surfing on my new SW radio, and there was the weird reappearing/disappearing message that was a pre-recorded spanish kid reading off numbers. I researched it on wikipedia, and it said that it is Cuban spy radio. Pretty creppy if you think about it
This is the Greek coast guard radio network based in Athens and transmitting from a place near ancient Olympia-Peloponnese!!
It’s called Olympia Radio and it’s rx on the GMDSS emergency channels for the safety of life at sea.
you dont need a license to purchase but to transmit you do. i got my first radio before i got my license,gave me the incentive to get my Technician License.
I have been monitoring this station over the last couple of years but had been mishearing it as “Nicosia Radio”, however I surmised that it was a maritime radio-telephone station.

This is Olympia Radio. The numbers she is saying are ITU paired channel numbers that they are assigned for ship-to-shore radiotelephone service.

It’s a Yaesu FT 857 amateur radio transceiver. Cost is around $850 USD and will need a amateur radio license to purchase.
