Radio "number stations" are mysterious shortwave radio stations that broadcast seemingly random sequences of numbers or words. These broadcasts are often accompanied by a robotic or synthesized voice, and are thought to be used by governments or other organizations to transmit encrypted messages to their agents. The origins of number stations are unclear, but they have been heard for decades on shortwave frequencies around the world. Some believe that they are used by spies to communicate with their handlers, while others speculate that they may be related to military operations or other covert activities. Despite their intrigue, the true purpose of number stations remains a mystery.
