Numbers Station

A numbers station is a shortwave broadcast of a voice reading number groups — real Cold War espionage infrastructure for one-time-pad messages, several still active. The documented truth is stranger than folklore needs, which has not stopped folklore: stations that answer, counts that match personal dates, the buzzer that briefly speaks. Late-night radio accounts filed here live on that border, and the jury's job is separating the genuinely explained from the genuinely logged-at-3-a.m.-and-never-explained.
