The Conet Project.
    #7836842 - 01/05/08 06:43 PM (16 years, 27 days ago)

The Conet Project is a collection of short-wave frequency radio recordings containing morse code and numbers to send messages in cover-op instances, supposedly.

I'm telling you, this stuff is creepy. I challenge one of you to get some these recordings and sit in the dark and listen to it.

Here's an article from Washington Post, I think:

"Shortwave signals are bouncing, as they always do, around the globe, caroming off a layer of the atmosphere a few hundred miles above the Earth and into antennas all over the world. Fernandez can hear news from Egypt and weather reports from China. But his browsing stops when he tunes in something startling: the mechanized voice of a man, reading out numbers.

No context, no comment, no station identification. Nothing but numbers, over and over, for minutes on end. Then the signals disappear, as if somebody pulled the plug in the studio. And it's not just one station. The more he listens, the more number monologues he hears.

"Five four zero," goes a typical broadcast, this time in the soulless voice of a woman with a British accent. "Zero nine zero. One four. Zero nine zero one four."

Numbers in Spanish, in German, Russian, Czech; some voices male, others female. When Fernandez lucks into hearing the start of a broadcast, he's treated to the sound of electronic beeps, or a few bars of calliope music, or words like "message message message." Then come the numbers. A few stations spring to life the same time each night, others pop up at random and cannot be found again.

At first, Fernandez figures it's a prank, the work of radio pirates with a sense of humor. But you need a license for this part of the radio band, and why would anyone break the law just to read digits into the dark yonder? In England the penalties are serious. Where's the comedic payoff?"

Check it out and tell me what you think.

Here's a link to all the four-discs of the recordings.

And here's a story on it by NPR.

I've been listening to it for some time now.

Thought it was time to introduce it to some more people.

It's really a word of mouth thing. Has a cult following for sure.

What's Lain?

Unfortunately, there's none in my area(Seattle).

I heard that about 10 years ago, when I lived in Moses Lake, near a nuclear testing ground "Hanford", those played consistently between 3 am and 5 am. Pretty wack.
