Recommended reading, as well as this book: Chatter: Dispatches from the Secret World of Global Eavesdropping.
As the pdf makes clear, there is never any end to international espionage. There can't be; not as long as there are nations and continents. Without vigilant peace, we wind up in another world war.
The airwaves bear this out. These mysterious broadcasts are just not a thing of the 1940s and 1950s ...they are still ongoing today. Governments still manage their agents in this manner.
Proof? With the proper equipment, you can tune in and find them still being transmitted.

When we think of satellites overhead we usually think about how amazing it is that they can take a photo of the label on a pack of cigarettes in our hand.
But that's hardly what many satellites spend their time doing. Among their many duties, they're scooping up the world's phone conversations.
Anything communicated by radio, they suck it up; and send it back down to the NSA for analysis.
It's something to think about. Remember: any phone conversation.
I am totally aware.What do you think happens if I talk to myself? :)
They are testing their equipment with sound-checks, reciting short series of numbers and letters; and in many cases sending coded messages.

Interesting to note that these strange clips are sometimes used in Hollywood movies.
