Yosemite Sam (/joʊˈsɛmɪti/ yoh-SEM-ih-tee)^[1] is the nickname given by DXers to a rumored numbers station that was heard making intermittent broadcasts between December 19, 2004 and February 16, 2005. It transmitted on several shortwave frequencies in dual side band: 3700 kHz, 4300 kHz, 6500 kHz, and 10500 kHz. The nickname is taken from the Warner Bros. Cartoons character Yosemite Sam, whose voice was always played as part of the unusual transmission.
