The Conet Project: Shortwave Number Recordings

Submitted by micropony on September 17, 2008 - 10:11pm
"For more than 30 years the Shortwave radio spectrum has been used by the world's intelligence agencies to transmit secret messages. These messages are transmitted by hundreds of Numbers Stations. Shortwave Numbers Stations are a perfect method of anonymous, one way communication. Spies located anywhere in the world can be communicated to by their masters via small, locally available, and unmodified Shortwave receivers. The encryption system used by Numbers Stations, known as a “one time pad” is unbreakable. Combine this with the fact that it is almost impossible to track down the message recipients once they are inserted into the enemy country, it becomes clear just how powerful the Numbers Station system is." That's a blurb from The Conet Project's website, where you can download more spy messages than you can shake a dry martini at. They're extremely creepy, and some of the German stations even used little kids to read the numbers. I'll be playing a few of them on my show, Friday night / Saturday morning at midnight [pending approval]. Be sure to tune in! I'll give anyone who can crack a code free tickets to the Soviet Union in 1985.
