Numbers Stations Go VoIP

Numbers Stations Move From Shortwave To VoIP: Years ago, we talked about the joyous intrigue of numbers stations. Go read that post. I’ll wait.

Apparently these devices of international subterfuge have gone VoIP. This Slashdot article mentions two stations with Vonage numbers you can call. It also links to a site I’ve never seen before devoted exclusively to tracking numbers stations.

I love this stuff.

Bummer...both VoIP numbers were on prepaid accounts, that have since been drained by what I'm sure was a huge volume of geeks like ourselves. Hope whoever was supposed to get that message received it before the internet masses did.
