S08 was a numbers station believed to have been transmitted by Yugoslavia intelligence. The station used the Serbo-Croat language, and was read by a live operator. After an unknown period of inactivity it was heard again when it reactivated on March 20th, 1990 at 19:10 UTC. It remained active until sometime in 1996.
