The Flaxen Cornfields is a shortwave numbers station that transmits from Great Nortend. The station gained its commonly known name from the first three bars of the Nortan ballad “The Flaxen Cornfields” as an interval signal. It is suggested that it is operated by Her Majesty's Mounted Guard (HMMG), which is believed to operate as an intelligence service. It is likely that the station broadcasts messages to undercover agents of HMMG operating abroad, which are decoded using a one-time pad.
Format
The station broadcasts on 5355 kHz during the day and 8231 kHz during the night. Transmissions occur at 1330, 1430, 1730 and 2030 GMT. A male voice reads out numbers in four number blocks, each block being said twice. The numbers are said in Latin pronounced in the English fashion.
