Good page about them - http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page30.html

Most people believe they are a form of communication between agents/HQ using one time pad encryption (so pretty much unbreakable). It's an interesting subject though....

11m is something like 25MHz and it goes all the way up to 120 (odd)m, which is around the 2.4/5GHz range.
Just scan around, they tend to be on the hour or 10/20/30/etc mins past. Usually they'll start with some music passage (few bars of an old song) and then read a repeater header before another few bars of the song and the message.

you can pick up a shortwave radio for 20/50 quid or so, although if you're wanting to cover a larger range of freqs then you need a half decent scanner (alot of the higher end models 25Hz - 2.59GHZ) although this will set you back anything between £100-300 secondhand, and then if you want to broadcast (ie: get a transceiver) it starts getting silly, can cost you anything between £500-2000 just for the tranceiver and you need various aerial/antenna on top.

You should be able to pick something up, although powerlines are one major issue for SW/Ham broadcasts.
