North Korea supposedly still uses numbers stations to contact infiltrators. Though, they may just keep the stations as a way to ratchet up tensions with South Korea, given that numbers stations are a bit anachronistic. Who knows! It's interesting though.

Numbers stations are really cool. Its kinda sad to see them slowly fade away.

it _seems_ to be someone's "open-source intelligence" documentation of NK comms; numbers stations and other secret communications. There also seems to be some propaganda mixed in, with the implication it's also somehow tradecraft.
