Number stations are secret shortwave radio stations that started to appear around World War I. They are characterized by broadcasting strings of seemingly random numbers, often by a recorded voice reading them out, or morse code.
It has long been speculated that these stations operate as a simple method for government agencies to communicate with spies working undercover in foreign countries, however, like expected, no government ever admitted using these stations, and no one has ever been able to crack the codes they send out.
The most famous number station broadcast is probably the "Lincolnshire Poacher". It transmitted from Cyprus from mid 1970's until 2008. You can listen to its eerie signal on wikipedia:

Number stations are still around and sometimes their broadcast interfere with other radio stations around the world. Few of them has ever been tracked down by location, so we don't have any good idea what they look like.
Our version is an artistic interpretation of what we think one could have looked like sometime around last mid-century!

NOMAD makes some of my favorite stuff in Second Life (especially spooky stuff like the fortune-telling machines). When you search Marketplace for a "numbers station" this is the ONLY result (lol) and WOW is it perfect. One thing I always really appreciate is being allowed "modify" permissions. Since you can mod the individual linked parts of the desk itself, my desk now beeps out morse code when you "touch" the morse clicker, and the radio plays a loop of numbers-station audio. I love having the ability to do that -- it really helps with storytelling. Thank you so much!!
detailed!
