[Spooks] FIRST QUESTION ON NS

[Gian Romani]

Good morning. This is my first question:
It has been said many times, and now is given to established, that
these transmissions are to be received by agents located throughout
the area and that one of the strengths of this system of communication
of messages is the fact of not having to use special devices to be
able to receive. Infact, as we have always said, we just need a
shortwave radio, cheap, small and convenient, that does not arouse
suspicion. I noticed that in many cases it goes on the hunt for signs
of Numbers Stations with instrumentation, and especially antennas,
complex and huge, which will surely help to receive distant signals
but in my opinion are not logical to use for receipt of NS. That is, I
mean, to understand exactly where they come from and who they are
eventually destined for the messages, it is useless to resort to huge
antennas and professional receivers because I think that we don't have
to hunt for the signal to reach the source, we don't have to go as far
as possible, but we have to let the signals come to us. Agents who
have to receive messages don't use professional receivers and big
antennas to wire all over the garden or on the roof. If it's true that
agents use little receivers and antennas, with similar devices
monitors have to try to find the signals. It is obvious that a SWL
with such powerful devices can hear even really far signals, but this
is not in the intention of NS programmes. The sense of NS, if we want
to understand something more, is to receive them with the same devices
used by agents. A signal sent for example from Russia for agents
located in Italy is easily receivable with professional receivers and
wire antennas cut for the right band. But to understand exactly who it
is for that message need trying with domestic receivers and antennas.
If the signal is perfectly received all over Italy it means that
signal is potentially routed to agents in Italy. If in Italy, with
domestic devices, that signal is not receivable, it means that message
is not intended to agents in that area. To try to understand where
they came from but also where they have to go then is useful to try to
do triangulations reception operated by monitors located everywhere
and can operate with the same home equipment. Just so we can groped to
identify areas of sending/receiving messages. It is correct my idea?
Do you agree with this point of view?

Bye, Naig
