Got your paws on the encryption machine, did you?

There's a pirate sporadically operating on 3965 kHz.
Claims to be located in NY state. Could be. I am in Boston
area, and he has a qsa5 sig here, whereas people to the s.e.
and west report much lower sig strengths. Format is lots of
anti fcc stuff and satire, some rap music too.

Are you confusing a poor operating ham as a pirate shortwave
broadcaster? I've been listening to 3965 kHz for a couple hours, now,
and have only heard some dimwits back east (NA) jabbering about
trivial matters. It's not too hard to find lunatics on the ham bands
transmitting all kinds of illegal stuff. Try to tune into 3840 kHz
sometimes late in your evenings/night and listen for the wacko named
Steve Wingate, KG6TXH. He does everything you've mentioned almost on a
nightly basis running 1500 watts into a fairly good size antenna. He's
the latest edition of idiot-ham to appear on that frequency. I've
received many emails regarding FCC actions that are supposedly in the
works against him by R.Hollingsworth.

If those numbers are truly legit, then they are transmitted as a hoax .
Those numbers could not be a true sequence. No interest of any nation would
use it, it follows no protocol. So I would not fret over this thread.

Not sure what you are trying to say. The pirate on 3965 kHz is xmiting
these cryptograms, and many people have had success in breaking
them out, partially and wholly. Interesting stuff, and one cannot
help but wonder why the FCC is showing no interest?

Dr Ham

I have worked in this field for years. Most pirates broadcasting numbers are
either reading random numbers, or are just having fun with a friend. Unless
they use a very very easy key, nobody is going to actually break it. Now it
is easy to use brute force to eventually get a meaningful message out of the
numbers, but it is almost certainly not the intended message. It is like the
monkeys with a typewriter who, statistically, will eventually type out all
the works of shakespeare by accident.
