Campaign Chunk – Niavon Numbers Station
When the technology of radio finally arrived in the town of Niavon 45, the locals rejoiced. They had finally joined the “modern” age. Due to peculiarities in the local environment, radio signals could not be sent or received within the town borders. The day of the “Turn On!” was a grand event with the entire population gathered to bear witness to this grand event.
It was to be a two-part event, first the main receiver in the town square, then the transmitter would broadcast the national anthem , then some music, ushering in a new age for the locals.
Within 30 seconds of the receiver being turned on, an odd broadcast was heard. Somehow the town radio had picked up the signals from a Numbers Station. It was a female voice, pleasant to hear, with what sounds like a south London accent, that kept repeating a series of numbers “6-99-402-5”, then pausing then another set of numbers “56-57-81-107”. Then another pause. Then back to the first number.
The downside to this number station broadcast was that , due to the peculiarities in the local environment, no other signal is able to be received, as such the town still has no radio contact with the outside world. To this day, no-one has been able to find the location of the broadcast or decipher the meaning of the numbers.
