Number Stations (Averius)

Number stations are an important part of Averius radio cryptography. These radio stations provide alphanumeric codes to send intended recipients encoded messages. These codes are top-secret, not known outside of the Empire.

AM Radio Number Stations

AM Radio Number Stations use a automated or semi-automated messaging system allowing music and news reports to be given by automated systems with alphanumeric codes being provided once every half-hour. These stations typically run a magnetic tape recording every thirty minutes. These 16-bit sound tapes transmit 1.44 MB of sound data for 25 minutes before switching over to the code-based transmissions.

Alphanumeric Codes

Alphanumeric codes are in four sets of 4-bit bit-codes. The First Set is to indicate a status. The Second Set is to indicate a general status condition. The Third Set is a War Readiness Indicator. The Fourth Set is to indicate various weather conditions. Each 5 minute interval for these codes can fit in 16 different code combinations. If there is nothing to report, the codes presented would be "NULL, NULL, NULL, Watt Omicron Zeta Alpha"
