Have any numbers stations ever been triangulated to find the source of broadcast?

About a decade or two ago, there was a Numbers Station posted on YT that's occasionally interrupted by what seems to be children's show segments. Forgot the name but remember being creeped out by it.
Cool article, but now I have more questions than answers...
Same! Especially because the article is just full of technical jargon and not a lot of meaty facts
Number stations are basically still in operation "just in case"
Very intriguing but it's the analog equivalent of a bot account.
