@Stormkhan...careful.
Puzzled by your personal partial paradox. You say...
.....and yet:
I've been at the party since shortly after the invitations were never sent....so, if I may, I shall ask you to clarify what you say:
Up until the advent of the public internet, the only people who knew anything about numbers stations (other than the actual originators & recipients) were
- radio amateurs (cf 'hams', and not all of them);
- "shortwave" radio enthusiasts (often an entirely-parallel tribe from the formal world of radio hams) and, over the years;
- a tiny irregular contingent of casual citizens who (out of curiousity) stumbled across numbers stations with what were cheap, barely-functional so-called 'multiband radios'.
Which category is the closest match for you? (I apologise for perhaps appearing to be either pedantic or patronising, because I'm not meaning to be in the least).
Your response may elicit from me an entirely-different followup post as a consequence of what you say....
