The NNN family of number stations is a network determined to have been run by the Austrian HNA, after some argument as there were suggestions that it was run by the CIA or MOSSAD. E12 originally sent messages with it’s German counterpart, G12 but replaced it completely in June 1994.
E12 transmitted on a weekly schedules, but only sent one message per month. It always sent message groups in multiples of 5 sending messages 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 groups long. All NNN number stations emitted in AM.
