Since we're talking numbers stations... I'll take this opportunity to plug the CONET project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conet_Project https://archive.org/details/The-Conet-Project [edit: formatting]
People are complaining about a clickbaity title but it's a fascinating article I am not sure most would read otherwise What's interesting to me is how out of date US GPS system is compared to China's BeiDou and while most US GPS receivers will use Russia's GLONOSS, China's BeiDou is blocked https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47849174
It’s significantly older though. What would you expect?
"Numbers station" is a weird analogy, because the idea of a numbers station was to broadcast messages to undercover operatives in a way that can be received using unmodified (and therefore non-suspicious) household radio receivers. Here, it appears to be a rekeying system for specialized military gear.
This is an interesting article. It has a very strong AI accent. I really wish I could tell how real it is. When some part of it I can tell is AI slop, how much of it is AI slop? Inside GNSS has always been a marketing rag with sometimes some interesting articles. The author is a security researcher, so maybe poking at GPS bits makes sense, but talking about floating point bit depth? There's too much slop for me to fi…
Someone broadcasting one time pad messages using GPS over years...
a spy operative using jogging app changing routes slightly
or maybe a cartel member embedded inside highly hostile countries like Singapore

An interesting lesser known role of GPS is that it is part of the US nuclear monitoring network and it's L3 signal is part of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjLnIb41DuQ I Found The US Nuclear Detection System In Space (saveitforparts)

Earlier quoted context omitted.
TLDW: Russia is jamming GPS and GNSS over Europe, purposefully, using a constellation of military satellites. Theory is that Russia is constantly practicing to totally disrupt GPS and GNSS (and the Chinese system) across all of Europe.
GNSS is just the catch-all term. It stands for "Global Navigation Satellite System". The Chinese system is called BeiDou.[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation#BeiDou_(2...
The fourth global GNSS constellation is Europe's Galileo. NavIC and QZSS are regional GNSS constellations.
