I will try to make some time to check, but, I'm confident that Louisiana is not one of the places where almost all of these shortwave broadcasts can be heard without a very good outdoor antenna.
Radio Havana Cuba broadcasts in English to the USA every day. We can hear it here in La. It's a one hour broadcast that they repeat for about 4 hours an evening.
Yes, maybe something about our heat and humidity here affects the quality of our shortwave reception here. Also, it has lots to do with, IMHO, the fact that most shortwave foreign broadcasts are beamed towards the US east or west coast, not to La.
I do remember hearing a female voice broadcasting series of numbers but, I was told by another SW listener that this kind of broadcast is often to assist navigation of ships at sea.
BUT, that navigation aid story could be wrong. This stuff certainly could be for spies.
Wiki says that The Cuban Five used to receive shortwave numbers codes for their assignments. Radio Havana Cuba uses its broadcast to lobby for their release from US federal prison, but, the numbers broadcast or two that I have heard are of course not on the frequencies used by Radio Havana Cuba.
There are probably still some Cuban agents in the Miami area observing/infiltrating some of the Cuban-American Anti Castro political groups in the Miami area. Cuba says that these anti Castro groups are planning "terror" attacks to take place in Cuba. If there are any numbers code broadcasts to be heard here in La. it would probably be intended for these Cuban intelligence infiltrators here in the USA.
I would think that our own FBI would be there to make sure that any anti Castro political groups are NOT planning any violent attacks on anybody anywhere.

Wht do they say?

It's an ordinary news show. They have some cultural and music shows.
It would remind some people of National Public Radio's All Things Considered, but, radio Havana Cuba is probably more objective with regards to Obama than NPR.

I use this website from a university in the Netherlands, in lieu of a shortwave radio: LINK
You can listen to the Russian "buzzer" at 4625.00 Hz.

UVB-76, also known as The Buzzer, is the nickname given by radio listeners to a shortwave radio station that broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz.[1][2] It broadcasts a short, monotonous About this sound buzz tone (help·info), repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day.[2] On very rare occasions, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place.[3] It has been active since sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s, when the first reports were made of a station on this frequency.[1][4] Its origins have been traced to Russia, and although several theories with varying degrees of plausibility exist, its actual purpose has never been officially confirmed and remains a source of speculation.[5]

I agree that the best place for most of us to hear these transmissions is from websites like you posted here, OR with recorded bits of transmissions that really serious hobbyists have collected on air and posted on their websites.
This thread is a great place to share such websites. I wish I had a link to share.
You provided a great link here, thanks. The Netherlands is a great area for SW and Longwave broadcast reception.

Short wave radio helped me to keep my sanity when I moved to Cleveland in 1990.
I caught most LSU and Saints games on WRNO world wide short wave station. IIRC it was broadcast on two separate frequencies. I think one was 9.42 on my radio.
This is before I knew much about the world wide web and computers. I don't think WRNO world wide exists any longer, I think it went away after Katrina.

wrno world wide wiki
The link says it has recently broadcast. I might look for it.

Thanks for the info.

I read the wiki article and more troubling is that WRNO (We're the Rock of New Orleans) turned into a Christian station?
I've been gone from NOLA a long time but damnit I wish some stuff would stay the same.

Now it's we're religifying New Orleans.

I almost shite a brick when I first saw the House of Lee was gone from Vets. Oh well I guess.

For a nerdy kid in the 60s shortwave radio was the internet of that time.
I saved up doing odd jobs as a teen in the 60s and bought a Zenith TransOceanic shortwave radio. Opened a whole new world.

The Transoceanic was a coveted receiver in its day, and still sought by collectors today. I received a 3 tube Heathkit receiver for Xmas in 1968, still have it! After that I moved up to a WW2 surplus Navy receiver that a neighbor loaned me.

Not only that, but it isn't even based in LA anymore, much less NO.
Fort Worth now.
