Crypto Transmission from KPH!
« on: January 07, 2024, 1134 UTC »
Just seen this on another forum:

https://www.radiomarine.org/mrhs-events

On January 20 2024, KPH will transmit a coded message consisting of 5-digit groups. The message will be encrypted using typical Cold War numbers station cryptographic procedures. All KPH listeners are invited to try their hand at receiving and decrypting the message.  Certificates will be awarded to those who successful decode the message.  Additionally, a special certificate will be awarded to the first person to decode it.

Sounds like fun!

Looks neat!  Not sure if I’m smart enough to crack the code, but will try to tune in to the broadcast.
Default RX location is Wisconsin using various wire antennas. Other RX will be noted.

      Cool interesting event! I did not find any information about the results, although it was possible to write 72 hours after the broadcast.
If anyone finds out about the competition being repeated, please let me know on HFU!
