THis afternoon at around 5PM EDT, NPR, on its news show, will have a

Ah yes! Here's a classic:

Sam was not a numbers or spy station.

I don't think it was proved one way or another what it was, but it had
the basics -maybe not in the usual order - 800ms data burst
transmission then the cartoon character voice.

Proved? Where were you during the day?

Go do some research.

I know. It was supposed to be some guys testing a radio but it was a
poor choice of recording to do testing.

Poor choice? That's pretty subjective.

Which makes you wonder: Was
there an alternate purpose to the transmissions? Were they trying to
attract attention?

They were obviously just looking to have fun, besides trying to test some
equipment.

Try it!
