Geocache Description:


привет, геокэшер

I recall in the 1970's and 1980's tuning around on a shortwave receiver and hearing broadcasts from behind the Iron Curtain; from former communist countries such as the German Democratic Republic, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, and the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Many of these transmissions liked to tell how well their tractor factories produced potatoes, or how workers were more hard-working than americans. But a few stations eluded me.

There must be something covert, perhaps it was spies passing secret messages. Listen to this broadcast and see what it reveals. Listen (MP3)

By the way, do bring your own pen as the one I placed in the cache doesn't work.
