Numbers Stations

mystery

Shortwave radio stations broadcasting strings of numbers and codes since WWII. Almost certainly espionage one-time-pad communication. Some still active.

From Wikipedia

A numbers station is a shortwave radio station characterized by broadcasts of formatted numbers, which are believed to be addressed to intelligence officers operating in foreign countries. Most identified stations use speech synthesis to vocalize numbers, although digital modes such as phase-shift keying and frequency-shift keying, as well as Morse code transmissions, are also used. Stations may operate on set schedules and frequencies in the high-frequency band, while others broadcast at irregular times.
