Number station documentary - Tracking The Lincolnshire Poacher

Tune into shortwave radio at the top of each hour and you will stumble upon a confusion of mysterious-sounding messages: voices reading random groups of numbers interspersed with noises and bizarre musical quotes such as the folk song The Lincolnshire poacher or Mantovani's Swedish Rhapsody. These are the so-called "number stations". Nobody has ever admitted to broadcasting them, intelligence agencies have traditionally denied their use, and they are unlicensed. Simon Fanshawe embarks on thrilling detective journey into the clandestine world of radio cryptography, and attempts to solve one of the most unusual broadcast mysteries of all time, Producer Simon Hollis.
