Havana Moon was the pseudonym used by William (Bill) T. Godbey, KB2OOR, who passed away in 1996. Godbey was a former NSA intelligence officer. After leaving the NSA in the early 1960s he worked in commercial radio and as a reporter and freelance journalist. He lived for many years in the West Palm Beach area, moving later to Ossining, NY.

Godbey was a regular contributor to Popular Communications and authored the books "Los Numeros" and "Uno, Dos, Quatro - A Guide to the Numbers Stations", published by Tiare Publications. He also contributed to "The ACE", the monthly bulletin of the Association of Clandestine Radio Enthusiasts, from 1989 to 1993. His pen name was based on a 1983 music album by Carlos Santana, hinting that at least some numbers stations were transmitting from Cuba.
