Shortwave Numbers Stations
Shortwave Numbers Stations are coded broadcasts assumed to be intended for agents of governments and intelligence agencies. Radio transmissions in the shortwave range (3 – 30Mhz) can propagate quite well around the world. If enough power is behind the transmitter and atmospheric conditions are right the signal can be heard very well with a tiny simple radio receiver half way around the world. The “technology” seems popular as ever as according to various sites the number of such broadcasts has increased since the end of the cold war.
The Conet Project collected a large number of example recordings back in 1997. An archive of these records can be found on the Archive.org website.
The spookiest one has to be “the swedish rhapsody irdal” recording. It features music and the broadcast is done with the voice of a young female child. It would seem someone involved gets to express a little bit of creativity in these broadcasts.
