Are you talking about shortwave radio? I've heard these as well. always wondered about them.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too! |

Oh man, I listen to those things in my music shuffle! They kick ass!
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal. |

It's very plausible that these are or atleast have been used by spies over the years. When coordinated, really all you'd have to do is switch on your tuned radio at a predetermined time and place, and decrypt a series of numbers.

Of course they are related to intelligence activities. 
Wilco used them throughout 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' as background noise. It makes an awesome effect.
Thanks to NPR for a fairly comprehensive piece with lots of links and free audio.

Wierd, I'd never heard of those before. I used to listen to shortwave all the time in Alaska, but I'd mostly hear pacific rim stations. I guess this is more of a European/Caribbean phenomenon.
We get commercial fishermen using out-of-band and codes sometimes. If you want to tell your buddies where the hot spot is without alerting the competition, you either use a VHF scrambler, out-of-band "secret channel", code, or some combination. VHF radios are pretty easy to mod to use unallocated frequencies, and SSB/Shortwave/Ham rigs are easy to find and modify. Half the fishermen I know also have cellular scanners, since the coastal towers usually stay analog for better range and you can listen in on the gossip.
In the early 90's we used to get "skip-landers" transmitting AM over CB channels with huge amps. We had a CB in the house since there were no phones where I lived, sometimes we could hear California talking to Hawaii.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

you don't need a huge amp to skipshoot. A bit of power helps, but a bigger antenna is usually better.
