4.096000 Allows binary division to 1 kHz (212 × 1 kHz)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator
It is a popular frequency used in modems and sometimes routers. I know I have a few
that I parted from circuit boards in the popular 4 pin packages used in computer electronics.
Also other frequencies used in computer electronics are known to devide down to 4096.
That wiki page has some interesting info on it

General Radio Discussion / Re: FRN poised to copycat HFU/FRC
« on: October 15, 2011, 0208 UTC »Actually, I think the new look of the FRN is entirely appropriate. It does look a little out of place as a web page; I think it would be more at home on, say, a Datapoint, or Hazeltine, or even a Teletype terminal.How about a set of punch cards?You're a mean one,Al.

Spy Numbers / Re: Dunno what this is??

I was monitoring 8097kc and heard CW. It was a bunch of random stuff like you mention. I also heard RTTY from the station, or at least one as powerful as the original. Decoding the RTTY didn't seem to work at the time I tried.

Spy Numbers / Re: Spanish number station question
« on: November 18, 2009, 2040 UTC »
Interesting thing I noticed while listening to Radio Habana Cuba on 6000kc the other night there was that same phone ringing sound in the background of the audio. Barely noticeable compared to the Spanish number station but it most definitely was there so this confirms to me that RHC is the source of V2 even though everyone already figured that anyways.

Spy Numbers / Spanish number station question
« on: October 22, 2009, 2028 UTC »
Been hearing this station on 8096khz from time to time. Just curious why it sounds like there is a telephone ringing
constantly in the background. Anyone else notice this?
It sounds exactly like an old telephone ringer and it rings in a weird pattern behind the spanish lady.
Also noted that a few days ago the signal sounded horrible like the transmitter was dying or something.

HF Beacons / Re: 4096 6 dots and a Dash?
« on: May 05, 2009, 0157 UTC »From WIKI page on crystal oscillators..You should make sure it isn't interference since a lot of computer
electronics have 4096khz clocks in them to devide down to 1khz.
I know the router in our house puts out ticking noises at 4096.
<OT>
What are there brands?
I must have 200 pieces of various electronic appliances parted out here and not a one of them have a 4096 clock?
</OT>
Peace!

If they could just stop giving Brother Scare hours on end air time it would
be a lot more fun to tune into.
I hope WBCQ gets more of a variety of programming in the time to come.

Spy Numbers / Decoding number stations
« on: April 29, 2009, 0246 UTC »
Has anyone here ever decoded number stations and uncovered something
really important that should be kept secret or the like?
I am new to listening to number stations and don't know much on how
to decode them.
Is there software to help decode them?
