  • Les stations « Y » étaient des sites britanniques de collecte de signaux initialement établies au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale et plus tard utilisées pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ces sites ont été exploités par un large éventail d'organismes, y compris l'armée de terre, la marine, la Royal Air Force ainsi que le Foreign Office (MI6 et MI5), le General Post Office et la Compagnie Marconi. La lettre « Y » est une abréviation pour wireless interception (Y se prononce « ouaïe » en anglais, comme la première syllabe de wireless). (fr)
