cuban number station

It is not known exactly what they are there, but its pretty much transmitted enigma in CW mode and then a bunch of numbers (in Spanish) in AM mode. It sounds like a female computer voice.

Cuban number stations can be monitored all across North America.

Air Traffic Control

A game played by airline pilots and air traffic controllers. The game has no rules, and neither side knows how it is played, but the goal is to prevent flights from arriving in time for passengers to make connecting flights.

Flying used to be fun, but its not with this air traffic control shit.

MHz

Pronunciated: "Megahertz" not "M.H.Z."

Megahertz means 1000 kilohertz (kHz) and kilohertz means 1000 Hz (cycles per second)

1 MHz = 1000 kHz = 1,000,000 Hz

Wow, sense I listen to DC101, who has a transmitter on 101.1 MHz, thats 101,100 kHz, which is 101,100,000 Hz (cycles per second)

Dependency Theory

A theory that argues that, due to the exploitative nature of the relationship between advanced capitalist (western) societies and the Third World, the development of the former resulted in the underdevelopment of the latter. Because of its reliance on external sources of demand and investment opportunities, Western capitalism penetrated virtually all parts of the Third World and eventually laid down the foundations of dominance-dependence relationship structures between North and South which tended to engender and perpetuate underdevelopment in the Third World. According to this theory, exchanges between the North and the South, such as trade, foreign investment, and aid, are asymmetric and tend to stifle the development of the latter and to reinforce their dependence. The theory also contends that local elites with vested interest in the structure of dominance and in monopolizing (monopoly) domestic power cooperate with international capitalist elites to perpetuate the international capitalist system.

See also HF allocation, the example.
