THis afternoon at around 5PM EDT, NPR, on its news show, will have a
program on shorwave numbers stations and spies.

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!


I'll leave that for the people with lots of money to blow.

They posted that NPR story. Never heard it on the air though:
