Absolutely - just for the fact that the purpose and history of
numbers stations scares the hell outta me.

Absolutely not - lots of different voices, background noises, music, etc.
Some stations are morse, some are noise, some are English, some Slavic,
some Spanish, etc.

Check the Irdial site. :-)  They've got a *massive* set of pages up on it
- www.pcug.co.uk/~irdial.  Don't think the stuff is in RealAudio, but
there are digitized clips.

Hope this helps....
