35: Listen to number stations
These stations send encrypted messages using number sequences, possibly for espionage purposes!
So why not listen to one? There's a surprisingly well-maintained database of them here: https://priyom.org/number-stations/station-schedule
So I tuned into the next frequency that was listed, and: Bingo!
Allegedly, this is a station in Moscow. Today, it sent "218, 218, 218" in a loop, followed by three long beeps, which is the format of a "null message".
So no news today for the Russian spies.
