It's an old code, but it Checks out.

Zero noise floor here too. Living out in the country definitely has its benefits.

I've just heard that the station went down, after being broadsided in an attack by MUTE (the Mission to Unauthorise all Transmissions Eternally) Unconfirmed, but the information through to us right now is that it took a hit from a full bowl of alphabet soup.

What a ham-type response. Message over the radio: "...missiles inbound...launching counter attack...battle stations....if you hear this transmission, you are in imminent danger of a nuclear detonation elimination....." YT ham commenter: "Do you have all the things turned on? You're doing radio wrong! I'm better at radio than you are! You are a bad radio person!"

@@karlmadsen3179 Calm Down, these kind of transmissions are going out all the time. I also have an IC-R75 and these settings are working against each other. Most people who hear these broadcasts are interested in the specific radio.

@@karlmadsen3179 Ok you two. Stop or ya get NO PUDDIN.

Who gives a chit!!!! As long as you can hear it.

I think it’s “three”. Tango Hotel Romeo Echo Echo. 😆

3VQ... she says.

nice dog!!!

Not at all. These are broadcast on airwaves open for anyone to listen to. That's the whole point of it being a coded message: whoever it's intended for has the decryption key. If you don't have the key, the message is useless to you.

You need a decoder ring to decrypt the message.

Don't worry; the new supersonic ones are so fast they won't even have time to say it more than twice before impact.

Back in the 70's, if we heard a "3 minute wavering tone" at the base, bend over and kiss your ass goodbye...

Elon Musk Twitted out 4 days ago Star Link is Now Complete & can Control your phone no matter where you are at even if the service is down like in a severe weather event. Terminator Sky Net came to mind when I read what he said or Cell the movie 2016. from Pioneer Tennessee 👋

It’s an AI generator

Senior officers don't call out things like this.

So what you're saying is if it's not a senior officer nobody but can be clear and precise

U have never been in the military if you think an officer, esp a woman, is clear and concise. Thats hilarious. Like an officer would stoop to doing mundane tasks.

@@ragheadand420roll ikr, officers usually were the ones who screwed shit up or the reason we were in the suck in the first place.

Did you get to keep your clearance and do any other cool stuff with it? In nonspecific/unidentifiable terms, of course. Just curious.

Yup Nuc NCO in a 155MM SP battery. During NUC training I recall decoding EAM's for PAL removal. Can't say as I ever did any regarding readiness or regional status.

@@BuddyLee23 I was originally an engineer in the Navy, but a career ending knee injury put me out of commission first for about a year until it was stable enough to unfortunately have to part ways with the service. I went through Naval Nuclear Power School, so I had to get a clearance to attend. After blowing out my knee, I eventually ended up getting assigned to the Public Affairs Office at Naval Operations Base, Norfolk, VA. This base is HUGE! I had an interest in technology and previously was our division’s Information Systems Security Officer at my last sea command, so I used that as leverage to get assigned to the NOC instead! The XO was in the same building and had an “open door” policy, so it worked out almost perfectly. I ended up staying in IT/IS there and at my subsequent temporary duty assignment. Now, one of the “coolest” things that I saw at the time was when I was tasked with coordinating message traffic, those were encoded printouts between different commands, and they were at all levels from unclassified to top secret. It was a huge pain as we still used floppies to bring encoded data from a server to a dedicated computer used to decode the data, and as you could imagine it was a very SLOW process. It’s not like I didn’t have anything to do as I was assigned to do the nightly server maintenance and backups on the UNIX hardware. Occasionally a call would come in too and I’d either try to help someone or log it for assignment later on in the day. I think the “funny” thing is that nothing too interesting “appeared” to go through the system, but in retrospect certain things absolutely needed to be marked top secret as it would have potentially leaked plans, positions, and the like. I mean, we would occasionally see something that catches your attention, but most of it was pretty routine.

@@jayrose6312 to keep secret it is fewh good ways. First, most obvious, don't talk about it. But if sb said too much, best is say more, especially sth ridiculous. How to cover leaked information? Send more random informations, that one imporrtant will miss in crowd.

These messages have the advantage that you can not blow up an internet exchange node and whole traffic is down.

The message IS the letters and digits you hear being read. Has to be decoded by personnel listening

@chavster6969 are you familiar with burst encryption?

AB7FOA is the call sign of a particular unit I am sure. The rest of it is a cipher I am sure.

"AB7FOA" could mean different things depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities: Amateur Radio Call Sign: It might be a ham radio operator's call sign, typically formatted with letters and numbers. For example, "AB7FOA" could be the unique identifier for a licensed radio amateur. Acronym or Code: It might represent an abbreviation, a code, or a unique identifier in a specific system, organization, or database. Random String: It could simply be a random sequence of characters, such as a product code, license plate, or unique identifier.

I took a stab at figuring them out a few years ago. I think I decided there was something about which air force base and likely which page of a code book to use for decrypting. I gave up at that point because if they are doing the code book thing, I don't stand a chance. Hmm, don't remember the "auger drill" bit. I'm trying not to think about broken arrows. There used to be something similar but in Spanish and maybe all numbers, no letters. I don't know enough to really say but to me the accent sounded Cuban. I think it had a nice musical interlude and a long digital section. Maybe was just a really dedicated prankster, or even Cuban-Americans talking to family in Cuba.

@@ggarber4763 It very well may have been a Cuban spy numbers station. That was how we civilians here in the U.S. finally got **official** government confirmation that numbers stations are, in fact, used for messaging spies in the field. Several Cuban agents were arrested, charged, and convicted on the basis that they had been caught listening to a Cuban shortwave numbers station and using one-time pads to decode the messages.

They're just providing a Windows 11 license key to a remote station ... nothing to see here....

Really, WE have numbers stations? I thought it was just the Ruskies and over in Europe. 🤔

​@@jayrose6312EAMs have been active for decades. It seems to be the only US number station still running.

It’s not a prank. EAM’s are transmitted frequently and there can be an uptick during times like we are in now. Anybody that claims to know what it means however is a liar. Not saying this guy pretends to know. Just saying in general the transmissions change frequently and the code for what these transmissions means at any given time change frequently. These are on a need to know basis. Even many military personnel involved in some capacity don’t know what it pertains to.

No it's quite regular

Right I do not try to decode them. Wouldn't even know where to start. I find them and post them. They're shortwave curiosities. Enjoy. I am sure we will find more and better. Thanks all.

yeah these things are transmitted fairly frequently and can be for a variety of reasons. They're all obviously in code, which changes pretty frequently and unless you have an up to date code book you aren't decoding these things.

Quebec

@dirtwizard5647 That makes perfect sense! Thanks.

Quebec is just he phonetic word for the letter Q. Google the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Basically, they assign words to letters because “B” can sound like “D” “C” or “P” over a rough radio signal. They use standardized words so people that speak different languages are all on the same page. The words they use have no other meaning except that people know what letter they are talking about when they hear them.

Who? what does this mean?

Like pissing off a colony of fire-ants…
