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:http://www.npr.org/templates/player/...tion=1&t=1&isl...

Crap, while not 'spies' per se, the folks at NPR are certainly not working in
the interests of the USA.


Do you realize haw far from mainstream that sounds?


Haw! I don't think it's very far from 'mainstream' at all.


That's because WLS is shrinking your brain.


NPR is so fair and balanced that if they do a spot on climate change,
they have a global warming denier on the show for balance. Basically,
they present both sides of the issue even if the other side is
bonkers.


Well, yer Wonder Boy certainly is bonkers. One really only had to look at his razor
thin resume to figure that out.

You were warned, yet you failed to pay attention.

Here's another link to a 2004 story on numbers stations that NPR did,
if you have not already heard it:

I'd love to REALLY know the reasons/why/and to who - that YS was all
about. Many thought it was a prelude to something ominous happening.
Definitely one NS that will going into Number's Lore.


Here's most of the info on Yosemite Sam in one web site:
