Short Wave Radios in your Teeth

This post is just because I find it creepy and wanted to share - hopefully you have a computer with speakers because it is sort of a must with this post.
Anyway, sometime ago I was turned on to this thing called The Conet Project, which is really just a couple of people on the Internet trying to archive some radio signals they have found. Most of these signals have been around for decades and anyone with a shortwave radio can pick them up if they have enough patience - see no one  knows where they actually come from and the band on which they broadcast is constantly changing. Not to be some sort of "the government is out to get us," kind of guy but in this case it is pretty much a given that these are government run signals - whether they are coded spy signals that can not be traced or coordinating plans with the alien overloads is up to ones own interpretation but, at least from what I have read, it would be outside the price range of most individuals to put something like these together.
One of my favorites is called Cherry Ripe, it is one of the most stable and appears throughout Europe, also it is really creepy sounding -
The theory from most people seems to be this: These are a one way blind form of communication, meaning it is nearly impossible to trace who is listening. The numbers are some sort of coded information and the music is usually played in intervals between the numbers so that you would know when the numbers start and stop also it is easier to find a music tone on a short wave radio then it is to hear voices.

I don't know what they are, but there is this whole community of people that just track and try to figure out what the codes in these messages are. the problem is they are always changing and it sound like it would be to hard to figure them out so I never get into that sort of stuff - i just listen and think that around us all the time some weird radio wave is passing though our body - in most cases they have for our entire life and they sounds like this:

  1. I burned a CD of this stuff once to use as background noise to fall asleep by. It didn't work. Instead it just creeped me the fuck out and kept me awake all night.

    Someone should make an archive of CB-radio broadcasts instead. Those guys will let you know when Smokey's coming instead of terrify you.
