Numbers stations (Wikipedia) -- robot voices reading cryptic numbers over shortwave radio -- may be good fodder for bioinformatics CryptanalysisExercises.

The Atención station played a central role in the federal case against the Wasp Network (Wikipedia) , aka the Cuban Five (Wikipedia) .

  • "prioritize and continue to strengthen friendship with Joe and Dennis" [68 characters]
  • "Under no circumstances should [agents] German nor Castor fly with BTTR or another organization on days 24, 25, 26, and 27." [112 characters] (BTTR is the anti-Castro airborne group Brothers to the Rescue (Wikipedia) )
  • "Congratulate all the female comrades for International Day of the Woman." [71 characters] (Probably a simple greeting for March 8, International Women's Day)
At the rate of one spoken number per character per second, each of these sentences takes a minute or more to transmit.
