Analysis of Fake Numbers Station (Greensleeves) — October 2024

There was a new message from Greensleeves Numbers Station in mid October. I have not had much time to run any analysis, but for posterity I will leave the transcribed numbers below:

7 11 19 18 19 13 20 25 19 2 6 0 6 18 13 17 19 20 7 20 6 12 19 17 12 25 14 19 19 2 11 13 18 6 21 21 16 19 17 11 16 0 1 16 20 23 13 18 6 0 5 18 19 19 2 19 21 21 25 11 19 2 7 11 18 13 24 14 11 7 11 19 16 18 2 16 18 19 0 6 20 17 14 20 6 2 6 7 7 11 19 16 18 7 16 18 19 0 7 16 21 7 11 19 6 5 19 0 12 24 0 7 0 24 18 18 19 20 17 19 18 6 20 17 23 21 19 19 6 18 13 17 19 20 7 2 16 7 11 6 5 21 6 20 10 13 21 17 6 20 17 10 18 16 14 11 7 0 6 16 17 2 19 21 21 7 6 1 19 10 6 25 1 7 11 19 25 11 19 19 0 19 16 20 7 11 19 20 16 14 11 7 2 19 21 21 0 20 19 6 1 6 20 17 2 19 21 21 0 25 24 18 18 3 7 11 19 3 21 21 23 21 19 19 16 20 6 11 24 18 18 3 7 11 19 18 13 17 19 20 7 0 2 16 21 21 18 16 0 19 2 16 7 11 7 11 19 16 18 12 16 14 11 7 6 18 13 17 19 20 7 25 18 16 19 17 21 19 7 0 7 6 1 19 7 13 7 11 19 7 18 19 19 0 2 19 21 21 18 19 25 21 6 16 12 6 21 21 7 11 19 16 18 14 6 18 17 19 20 0 2 16 7 11 19 6 0 19 2 19 21 21 20 16 10 10 21 19 7 11 19 16 18 25 18 13 5 0 6 20 17 18 6 16 17 6 21 21 7 11 19 16 18 0 11 13 5 0 7 16 21 7 11 19 6 5 19 0 10 19 14 24 0 10 6 25 1 13 20 7 11 19 16 18 1 20 19 19 0

And some frequency analysis is below. I doubt I will make much progress on this in the near future.

As of 2026, I have not fully analyzed this one. I'm sure it can be cracked. All of 'Greensleves' transmissions seemed to be crackable with reasonably looking character distributions. To see how we do this, there are two earlier posts with successful decryptions. Go check them out!
