     I am far from an expert on this, so anyone, feel free to correct me, but I
believe that 'spy numbers transmissions' refers to the seemingly random and
meaningless strings of numbers that can occasionally be heard on shortwave
radio.  They are believed to be coded intelligence reports of spies in foreign
countries, sending their info back home over the airwaves.
