I found a cable channel with mindless buzzing interrupted by occasional Russian. It's called CNN.

Before the Internet, I used to SWL all the time in my backyard with my trusty Grundig (which I still have today). I used to always pick up transmissions like this and they would sometimes send shivers up my spine. It is definitely code for something and likely, as others speculate, they were codewords for spied embedded abroad.
Many years ago, there was a TV show called LOST in which a plane crashed on a remote island and the survivors stumbled upon a transmission station that kept reading off numbers interspersed with tones. Somehow they got brainwashed into thinking that they had to keep the transmission going at all costs or else something very bad would happen.

In 2001 I brought my portable Grundig to Greece and one night I went outside with my daughter and told her to listen. We heard a number of frequencies that were just talking numbers in english. This was while the balkan civil wars were going on.

Did anybody ever figure out what it was doing? <<
It’s over-the-horizon, long-range radar. Not exactly a secret. Our people know all about it.

The radio transmission was in French. You may be thinking of the numbers (Hurley used to win a bazillion lottery dollars) that had to be entered into a computer in the first underground shelter they found.
Doing that bled off the powerful electromagnetic pulse, that destroyed the bunker once and that Desmond once failed to enter, bringing down their jetliner.
Makes you wonder why they didn’t just install a program to do it automatically but the premise of the show was pretty much the writers making up stuff as they went along ntil it reached the point that they had to run subtitles for viewers saying to themselves, “WTF?!”
