Woohoo, I got a shout out!! I'M FAMOUS!!

The Conet Project CDs were sold for a time after their release, and are still for sale, but at some point they were offered (legally) for free on the net - though a few months ago, I did see a set of the original CDs go for over 55 bucks. Here is a link to the complete 4-CD set of mp3s.

I believe that number station activities actually increased following the cold war, which is interesting. It may perhaps be worth mentioning that at least some of the stations are used for and by drug dealers.

I find the One-time pad method of encryption fascinating - this is the method of encryption used by number stations, as Imperium mentioned, and, also as he mentioned, it is theoretically unbreakable. Upon attempted decyption, a four-letter code could just as easily be decoded to read "KILL" as "SAVE," for example.

Cool cast, IA!

Thanks Zipdot...of course it is your fault for sending me down this path. My wife thought I had lost it when she heard me listening to the audio clips! LOL
