  1. As information on number stations is generally classified, very few government organizations have released information about them. Those that have include the Czech Office for Foreign Relations and Information (https://tinyurl.com/yyzxrmr9), the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (http://numbersoddities.nl/N&O-200.pdf), the Swedish Security Service (https://tinyurl.com/y256ks83), and the National Archives of Latvia. Additionally, number stations have been involved in the publicly prosecuted espionage cases of Kim Hyon-hui (1987), Václav Jelínek (1988), the Cuban Five (1998), Ana Montes (2001), the Illegals Program (2010), and Andreas and Heidrun Anschlag (2011).
