-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello. Interesting how a single Android-application can start a big discussion on this list. This list was quiet and now I got 50 emails in 2 days. I am just watching this list. I do not listen to radio, but I am interested in these number stations. I am always excited when reading S20 or other logs. I have small "transistor" radio with casette. I ocassionaly listen to China and Turkey international, some oriental, and noise of living area. It is a bit strange, that I cannot tune any station from our country outside FM. And I made high voltage supply that accidentaly was transmitting around 500kHz. Funny device. Lights a CFL blub from your hand and does not shock you. So this was on my mind about radio now. I just cannot leave that 50 msgs alone :) Sorry for bad engilsh, I will try harder.
