[Spooks] 4th question about NS

[Beaumont, Paul]

It certainly drew attention to a GCHQ Linguist who spied for Russia. In court one witness stated 'I knew the bloke was a spy, all those numbers blaring out it German.'  That happened in England.

It could be anything really...

But if you think about it, if you are in (for example) Germany, and you are a spy -lets say, an East German who has decided to work for the West, then listening to German numbers could possibly draw a lower attention to you if someone thought they heard something at some point.

Whereas hearing English or French or Russian etc. might be a bit easier to hear, as it would be not usual per se.

However, there are plenty of numbers recipients using CW, so whatever they work out, that works best for the recipient and the confusion of the enemy is most likely the case..
