A while back when the G-MEN were in to do a studio 3 session Mopa started talking to me about Number Stations which occupy a frequency on the short wave band and are usually run by governments as a way of communicating code to agents in the field. But the mics weren't recording because this was one of those after interview conversations. But I never forgot about them. So a few weeks ago when I was catching up with Mopa Dean about Armed and Hammered, I had him explain to me what number stations are. Here's a primer on that subject.
