[CQ-Contest] 1, 2, 3, ... Infinity

Hi,  
This is not related to contesting (Spy vs Spy?) but perhaps is of interest to anyone who's been intrigued by numbers stations or had one for a neighbor like I did for a while.  Maybe also a brief diversion from thinking about our current situation.

There is a movie called "The Numbers Station", a thriller about a CIA operative (John Cusak) sent to protect personnel at a clandestine numbers station in England.  It's an average action movie, but I was interested in whatever radio equipment was shown.  Turned out it was all computer interfaced.  I didn't see any transmitters or antennas, just big monitors.

Bad guys took over the station to send their own bogus messages.  A great deal of violence ensued.  Lots of bodies.  John won.

And John had a crisis of conscience about his career choice, although I wasn't quite sure why since he made a difference and saved the day.
