What is the radio frequency that most broadcasting stations wont use due to unusual transmissions?

Question

A friend of mine has been telling me about a radio frequency that all the major broadcasting organisations i.e. BBC wont use due to weird noises and unexplainable voices coming through!!

He read about this strange phenomena in a book many years ago.

I have searced the net but cant find anything relating to it, can anyone offer any info or explanations on this?

Answer 1

Sounds to me like you're referring to the "numbers station"

All the info is here ...

FallenJuggalo: I think that's more EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) than a frequency pick up. Those are recordings on magnetic tape as far as I'm aware.

Answer 2

The Jürgenson Frequency?
