Like a classic “numbers” station or something. The article opens with a scene that could have started an episode of The Avengers.

Like numbers stations, many countries have them, like Cuba, for example.

They’re instructions for deep cover agents living their lives out abroad.

I used to SWL but haven't in years. Is the "woodpecker" still out there?
Did anybody ever figure out what it was doing?

My opinion is that the woodpecker was experiments by russia into possibilities for over-the-horizon, wideband, HF wavelength pulsed radar or possibly doppler radar.

Try this. It’s a little like listening to classic Pink Floyd

Could be. You would want more than one though. Like the old LORAN system.

That is what most people thought it was too. However there were a few “conspiracy nuts” as always.
