Numbers Stations/ The Conet Project

Anyone on here like to listen to this stuff? They are shortwave radio transmissions supposedly used by governments all over the world (although none will admit it). The thought that there were, and maybe still are, one-time coded messages going out to undercover spies by unknown agencies is a pretty cool thing in a time where radio broadcasts are not very popular.

You can also listen to 4 cd's worth of these broadcasts here: http://www.archive.org/details/ird059

 

A lot of them are repetitive tones, sets of numbers, etc. They would run a simple beep around the clock so that whoever the message was intended for could tune in, and then at a predetermined time they would send out the code. Freaky stuff when you start to think about what kind of information is going through these frequencies.

I love stuff like this, I've been reading up on them for quite some time now.

 

Yosemite Sam is still my favorite.

 

I actually really like the first one on the list there, the swedish rhapsody. The little ice cream truck tune they play is just freaky as hell to me. Sounds straight out of a horror movie. These are also awesome to make prank calls with :cool:.
