Pretty cool, I had put up a comment on a numbers station YouTube vid, and got this response:
Yes they still are alive. achtung!!! [note: in regards to spy stations still being around]
They still have equipment/system that they do encryption transmissions with.
wikipedia (dot) org/wiki/STANAG equipment used by NATO countries comes to mind.
Here's the Wiki definition of it:
STANAG is the NATO abbreviation for Standardization Agreement, which set up processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common military or technical procedures or equipment between the member countries of the alliance. Each NATO state ratifies a STANAG and implements it within their own military. The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and logistics, so one member nation's military may use the stores and support of another member's military. STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information (CIS) systems essential for NATO and Allied operations.
STANAGs are published in English and French, the two official languages of NATO, by the NATO Standardisation Agency in Brussels.
Among the hundreds of standardization agreements (current total is just short of 1300) are those for calibres of small arms ammunition, map markings, communications procedures, and classification of bridges.
Pretty neat, first I've heard of that
Makes sense too, especially with how spy stations can come into the fold with it, since no government anywhere in the world has ever acknowledged they exist in the first place, and it's been theorized one of the things spy stations are for are for military transmissions.
It's here, which you just read the summary of it; there's a big list of them, a few of them have actual articles written out too:
