Nick, KB1SNG, reports that he was brought into ham radio via an interest in the infamous "Numbers Stations." He sent along a link to a very interesting site on this subject: http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page30.html
It was kind of shocking to me to hear a numbers station. I mean seriously, we are in the 21st century, with nearly ubiquitous communication technologies like the Internet and cell phones. Do spies really need to do this? Seriously?
