Items of Interest: How to Listen to Real Spy Broadcasts Right Now
Encrypted messages, fancy technology, spies use them all to communicate, but sometimes the best way to hide is in plain sight. Right now, broadcasting across the airwaves around the world are automated, anonymous shortwave AM radio stations that most governments won’t acknowledge even exist, much less explain. Best of all, you can hear recordings from them right now, and if you have the right gear, tune in and listen for yourself. There are even databases of these number stations that may be on in the next hour using various modes.
