Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Richard Cuff, who shares this Komando.com piece on how old-school shortwave number stations remain active in espionage. Intelligence services — notably Russia — still send coded beeps and voice-read numbers using one-time pads because radio is simple, anonymous, and hard to trace.
Sure, we’re all shortwave enthusiasts and many of us grew up with number stations abound, but it’s always great to see popular websites pick up on this. Read the full article on Komando.com.
The correct link for the numbers station story is here:

Maybe I am not understanding,, the updated link is not about espionage or the spy wars, but about listening to baseball.
The link is wrong and does not take yo to the article.
Thank you. I fixed that!
