Why broadcast it to the world if it's something serious (or even semi-serious)? Putting it on a message board is bound to get a lot of attention!
True... But by the same token, people scan shortwave looking for stuff like this. Six of one, half-dozen of the other :) Another idea we were kicking around was that with Internet access being as ubiquitous as it is, a person being observed by a third party using a laptop or going into an internet cafe wouldn't be as unusual as a SW receiver. Also, there's the possibilty that the person the message is intended for isn't necessarily in the US - so if you don't have access to or the ability to operate a transmitter, the message can still be picked up (and reception conditions would be less of a concern).
I suspect either a prank or someone is trying to observe something about people or groups. Maybe when it's decoded it is going to say "Al Fansome check tire pressure". :-)
I don't get the reference - is it related to http://www.spynumbers.com/WBNY.html ? Definitely a possibility, I guess. John.
