Thought we could go over some of the famous number stations...
Swedish rhapsody--this was the very first numbers station transmission I heard, and still the creepiest, in my opinion.
Lincolnshire Poacher--ran for over 20 years, disappeared...or did it go back up? I saw a post on YouTube dated only a couple of months ago that said it was back...anyone know?
Attencion Station Cuban Station--I do believe some spies got busted that were receiving orders from this station.
music vid--yeah, I linked to a music vid featuring a few well-known numbers transmissions mixed in, rather than the originals, ha ha. I just like the way "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is [mis]pronounced on this one ;D
The Buzzer--I would say technically this isn't a numbers station, as for the most part it has just emitted this buzzing sound continuously since the late 1980s, but supposedly it has also transmitted coded messages too. It freaks out at about 1:30 into the recording...
Anyway, feel free to add some, as well as any stories you'd like to share about listening to these, since as I said in another post, I don't have a short wave radio yet and don't have much to add here atm.
