Dear Mr. (A)Tiny Revolution,

Good job, very good.

I first heard some of those numbers station recordings about a year back. It made me wonder, now that the Cold War is over and the Iron Curtain is down, whether things like that go on in the world today. What strange coded messages are floating around us?
