> This is a true story of how the Columbian army hid a CW message within a song
> targeting hostages being held by the FARC terrorist group. The message
> informed the hostages that they were about to be rescued.
>
> They had the song played on all the local radio stations.
> Radio operators held captive amongst the hostages copied the text and passed
> it on by word of mouth to other captives.
>
> Further down the page you’ll find the actual audio file of the song.
> See if you can copy the message.
>
> To be honest, I have not yet managed to copy it 100%, partly because it is in
> Spanish and also because it is well hidden within the music. See if you can
> copy it!
>
> BTW: You can’t do this with PSK31!
