It was a pre-recorded voice, but it didn't sound synthetic. It started 
with a random electronic tune, and the voice had a strange accent 
("KEE-loo, GAULF"); in fact, I originally thought she was saying "Zulu 
Golf"!

I have the Conet CDs and will check the recording against that version 
when I find the cassette.

Yes, I have been recording numbers stations haphazardly since the late 
'70s and one of my recordings from the '80s has German numbers on it. I 
don't remember the designation, but it has the female voice that says 
"funnef" instead of "funf". I also have a recording that I was never 
able to identify; it has a male voice (pre-recorded) reading off numbers 
in Spanish.

Since I'm already looking for that tape I mentioned last time, I'll put 
aside any other recordings of numbers stations that I find-- and if I 
find the German recording I'll let you know.
