Someone asked me the other day about numbers stations.. I finally caught one last night and recorded it..
Someone said it was Andrews AFB sending code to our military, not sure I believe that but it was cool to hear anyways. It was my first time hearing one live!

That is supposed to have more info on this station.

OK, so they just send a sequence of characters/numbers? Probably an encrypted message? Would really be nice if we could do that....... ;)

Yea some of the older ones are related to spies..
This one is the most famous:
1_06: The Lincolnshire Poacher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXPqUU6fI0#)
Most everyone believes it to be MI6
This one is still active now and then:
1_16: Attencion 3 Finals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xfc4LjKi1w#)
CIA related ones:
1_02: Counting CIA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa6tIZAWLZE#)
Then there is the Yosemite Sam Station:
Ham Vs Spy: Yosemite Sam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTS3vGBKGWY#)

Oi stupid me. After posting that last night I did what I should have. First place, done a simple Google search and clicked first link that came up...
I had head alot about these but any time someone brought it up it was about a station in Russia, never one coming from other governments let alone Luke an.
Very interesting...
-
Sorry, I didn't see Crimson Tide. I thought it was about a football team...... :o
It's a sad thing to say, but I worry about our government more than the zombies. :(
-
One in the same?
-
Could be. Looks that way more each day......

If you want to know more about number stations here's a definitive source.
The groups called Enigma 2000, it's a UK based group that have all sorts of profiles and quirks of each and every station logged.
Here's a link:
