G18 – 8 Note Rising and Falling Numbers Station

G18 was a numbers station thought to be run by Czechoslovakia Intelligence.  Since the format, and especially the intro notes are similar to S10, this is most likely the case.  G18 only has two known recordings of it from The Conet Project and Simon Mason’s Website.  The station ceased operations in 1973.
