Number stations?

Anyone heard of these?

Was listning to the radio last night, when they started playing recordings from these radio stations, was a bit scary, a weird nursery rhyme like tune, followed by a series of numbers in German.

The presenters were saying how these number stations mostly operate sporadically on shortwave, and are a foolproof way of governments communicating with their spies.

Just thought I'd share this fairy irrelavant, but interesting point with you

Re: Number stations?

Heh on the radio last night they started being silly like that, went off air for a whole minute and pretended their backup CD came on.

Then they wouldnt talk about the subject for the rest of the night..

Don't be daft, spies indeed.
