Spy Number Stations-- help me find the goods?

A friend and I were recently discussing spy number stations, the radio broadcast of a woman’s voice giving out a stream of numbers. I vaguely recall reading one of Cecil’s columns about this, but I tried a couple of searches for it that turned up nothing. Anyone else out there remember this one? Maybe the Teeming Millions could give me a link. Thanks in advance!

Cecil sez:

Who operates those weird “numbers stations” on shortwave radio?

Here’s a website with listings of stations: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/numbers/numbers.html

Ahh, many thanks.
