Last time I spent more time with it, I was intrigued by "Bird calls", short, synthesized loops that sound somewhat blackbird-ish and repeat for a long time. Appearently they're masking a RTTY transmission.
I've recorded one here.
Strange you should come up with it now, I had a talk with m0d about SW and other EM transmissions just the other day on IRC. He has proper equipment, and told me how Auroras affect transmissions that bounce off on them. How cool is that?
I'll share a few of my favorite radio/EM links:

Radio Interval signals, including some oldskool ones that are pretty rad
http://www.dxing.com/modesand.htm
Good beginner's guide
http://www.ralabs.com/webradio/
Remote controlled SW receiver, pretty decent
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
The Uber-Version of the above (thanks m0d)

Some cool recordings of Auroras
I heard the Lincolnshire Poacher has not been transmitting since 2008 but I think Cherry Ripe is still broadcasting, it uses the same voice and a similar interval tune.Thanks for the fantastic links, i'm experimenting with the online recievers now.
do you know any good IRC's with people that will be able to tell you which number stations are currently broadcasting

wow that is awesome. i reconize some of the pictures from the conet project. sounds like he is sampling good old the good old lincolnshire poacher.
I have recently become obsessed by shortwave radio, specifically Number Stations.
Wikipedia described number stations as:
Numbers stations (or number stations) are shortwave radio stations of uncertain origin. They generally broadcast artificially generated voices reading streams of numbers, words, letters (sometimes using a spelling alphabet), tunes or Morse code. They are in a wide variety of languages and the voices are usually female, though sometimes male or children's voices are used.
Number Stations are reportedly run by government Intelligence groups and codes are supposedly decrypted using a one time pad system.
You can hear what Number Stations sound like here: http://www.archive.org/details/ird059
My favourite ones are "Cherry Ripe" and "Lincolnshire Poacher" both reportedly run by MI6, the international branch of the British Secret Service. They both use a lo-fi rendition of the folk song that the station is named after as a signal before the broadcast starts.
I am yet to be lucky enough to find a Number Station but I hope that I do shortly.
Have any of you found anything interesting or strange on shortwave radio?
