This poop is pretty interesting

Numbers stations are mysterious shortwave radio channels of indiscernible origin that 
exist in countries all across the world and have been reported since World War 1. 
They are identifiable by the unusual contents of their broadcasts: seemingly random 
sequences of numbers, words, letters, tunes, and Morse code, usually spoken by 
artificially generated voices of women and children. 

The most common theory regarding the purpose of these bizarre stations is that 
they?re used by governments the world over to secretly transmit encrypted commands 
and messages to spies. That said, even though numbers stations have been discovered 
all over the globe and in any number of different languages, no government has ever 
officially acknowledged their existence. While the espionage theory is a logical one, 
with no official confirmation of their purpose the jury is still out.

One particularly odd station, UVB-76, has existed since the late 1970s and has 
broadcast a simple, repetitive buzzing tone 24 hours a day ever since. On very rare 
occasions, however, listeners have reported a Russian voice interrupting the buzz to 
read out sequences of numbers and words, always in a consistent format ? this 
happened once in 1997, once in 2002, once in 2006, 56 times in 2010, and 14 in 2011. 
As with all numbers stations, its true purpose is and will probably remain unknown, 
but the increase in frequency of whatever it?s doing is certainly odd.
