Mason's research is online, attested from 2010, a long-running web resource on numbers stations. His work bridges the pre-internet listening community and the global monitoring networks to come.
Decades after Mason first insisted these signals were genuine spy broadcasts, court cases and declassified files prove him right. The patient hobbyist, dismissed as a conspiracy theorist, turns out to have been simply listening carefully.
