Listening to Ukrainian Radio 1 on 549 KHz from Mikolayiv to hear how long it lasts :geordi-yes:
My semi-joke aside, number stations are one of the least interesting things on Shortwave radio. I'm way more partial to DX-ing (long distance reception), things like weather faxes, etc.
Unfortunately the end of the cold war did irreparable damage to Shortwave radio and it's a dying hobby. With modern day conflicts you can't even listen to Radio Ukraine International or the Voice of Russia anymore because they shut off their transmitters in (recent years), like you could with Radio Baghdad in 1990 for example
