[Spooks] V02(a/n) Observations

[will griffin]

Hello! My name is Will and I'm pretty new to shortwave and extremely new to
numbers stations. I have been a ham radio operator for about 6 months now
and have started dabbing in all things radio. I have become completely
enthralled with the subject of numbers stations. I know that the spynumbers
website has a list of frequencies but I find the website hard to understand.
If I wanted to just turn the radio on and quickly tune and find a RX of my
first numbers station, what would be my best shot. I am located in Savannah,
Ga. Thanks for your help and remember that I'm new to number stations!

Thanks,
Will
