I remember Dave linked to a story a long time ago about "number stations." These are shortwave broadcasts that have been on the air for decades. They feature only a single voice reading lists of seemingly random numbers. These number stations are widely believed to be a method for spy agencies to communicate with their agents in the field. NPR did a story on them recently. Slashdot had a story today about The Conent Project which is releasing a 4 CD set of these recordings, and sponsering a cryptograpic challenge to crack the code behind these numbers. Assuming they are not using a one time pad, which would be unbreakable, I can't wait to see what these numbers mean.
I have listened to some of the material from the numberstation cd's. they are great and will surely provide hours of listening entertainment. 3,6,8,2,9,0,7,5,4,3,3,2,34,4,5,6,6,7,7,6,,67,865,8,76,868,,
