G09 – Saxophone Piece Numbers Station

The only known broadcast for G09 was once during the cold war at 1900 UTC on 10606 kHz. A multi-instrumental jazz piece played for 5 minutes.  Then at 1905 UTC, a woman’s voice read a 5 digit header.  This was followed by her announcing “achtung, achtung”, then reading 5 figure paired message groups.  The message ended with “Ende, Ende.”

No recordings of this station exists, and it has not been heard since then.  Although it’s named ‘Saxophone Piece’, it’s also referred to as the ‘Jazz Player’ in Simon Mason’s book Secret Signals.  The only evidence of this numbers station is that first hand account.
