V13 is a Taiwanese numbers station known for its flute musical intro. The station operates on a random schedule, most of the time not transmitting at all.
V13 was nicknamed New Star Broadcasting over its introduction announcement “This is the New Star Broadcasting Station Program #“. This translation has been disputed though, and some claim it could possibly translate to “Star Star Radio.” V13 emits in USB or AM mode.
