Russian Spy Numbers

[BryinFalls747]

I just recently started using a Ham radio, and while scanning through some of the ranges, I picked up a signal that would transmit a mans voice and a womans voice repeating seemingly random sets of numbers. I haven't been able to turn up much, so I figured i'd reach out and see what you guys might know. What im really askining is:

What is the signals purpose?

What do the numbers represent?

Who is transmitting it?

Is there a connection to the G2-YL Spy Project?

Is there a connection to UVB - 76?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

That was very informative. Thank you. I am assuming that UVB - 76 is something entirely different. Do happen to have anything on that?

There's a 4 CD set that is available for free download @ archive.org
The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059] : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive

Monitoring Times used to have a column about numbers stations but they got rid of their pirate radio column a couple years ago so it might be gone now.

...the number of "numbers stations" has really decreased in the past 10 years.

That article has made me revive my otherwise half-hearted desire to get into short-wave radio!

One of these days!
