Haven’t had my ham rig up for a while. Looking to get back to it next Spring. Meanwhile, I picked up a functional Zenith Trans-Oceanic Wave Magnet radio at a local thrift store for $100. Works surprisingly well, but it could use a tune up I think. Old school. All vacuum tube and those big tunable IF cans.

My grandfather had a ham radio and when I was 12 or so I would turn the dial around and sometimes get that numbers girl.

I kinda surmised it was something clandestine and liked the mystery of those stations so far away. I even liked the poor broadcast crackles, made it all the more mysterious.

So, if you listen to 4625 kHz, are you colluding with the Russians?

That’s the very station I listened to for years that made me the Russian bot I am today.

One of the local HAM’s that has code breaking experience is still trying to decipher that message. He is certain it is important but if it is a one time cypher or a book cypher he is not optimistic it can be cracked. Currently he has his servers working on book cyphers.

Well it could be a one-off system where you’d head towards it and then go off on a different heading; like if you head towards it on say 260 and go off on 090, something like that.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the last three-and-a-half decades, it’s been broadcasting a dull, monotonous tone.

The lone remaining Air America affiliate.

The woodpecker is no more. It is located near Chernobyl. It was an over the horizon radar station operating around 28kHz.

That’s ok, at least it was an original story and not another remake of something else. That will be next, the LOST Reboot.

In America, you play radio. In Russia, radio plays you.

In America Chuck Norris rules, In Russia, Chuck Norris still rules.
