Numbers Stations
Dear Office of Communications,
Recently I have stumbled across a term Numbers Stations, in short they were/are Short Wave transmissions containing solely numbers or Morse Code, used mainly during the 'Cold War' I find this fascinating, but information on the internet is purely speculative. Any information or directions as to where I may find more is greatly appreciated
Yours faithfully,
S M Barraclough
