I live in Florida, so it's easy for me to pick up the Cuban stations, but I've heard many other "weird" things on SW also. I personally just sit down in the evening in a quiet spot, put my head down (helps me concentrate on the sound) with the radio turned up but not too loud and slowly spin the tuning knob until I hear something that doesn't sound like static. (I made the choice on the 2010 because it has a really nice, smooth manual tuning knob that a lot of the units seem to be moving away from lately in favor of pushbuttons. It's just not the same and I suspect anyone who uses their radios for this kind of thing prefers a knob over buttons.) I've picked up numbers, various beacons, airport weather reports from all over the East coast, (and local airport towers because the 2010 has air frequencies), pirate radio, and all kinds of non-numbers "oddities". Just sit down in a quiet place and start tuning up the bands. You'll pick *something* up soon enough. Keep a piece of paper handy to log the time and frequency. I've found that looking up what you've found is almost always more interesting than the signal itself. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- #!/usr/bin/perl -w $_='while(read+STDIN,$_,2048){$a=29;$b=73;$c=142;$t=255;@t=map {$_%16or$t^=$c^=($m=(11,10,116,100,11,122,20,100)[$_/16%8])&110; $t^=(72,@z=(64,72,$a^=12*($_%16-2?0:$m&17)),$b^=$_%64?12:0,@z) [$_%8]}(16..271);if((@a=unx"C*",$_)[20]&48){$h=5;$_=unxb24,join "",@b=map{xB8,unxb8,chr($_^$a[--$h+84])}@ARGV;s/...$/1$&/;$d= unxV,xb25,$_;$e=256|(ord$b[4])<<9|ord$b[3];$d=$d>>8^($f=$t&($d >>12^$d>>4^$d^$d/8))<<17,$e=$e>>8^($t&($g=($q=$e>>14&7^$e)^$q* 8^$q<<6))<<9,$_=$t[$_]^(($h>>=8)+=$f+(~$g&$t))for@a[128..$#a]} print+x"C*",@a}';s/x/pack+/g;eval usage: qrpff 153 2 8 105 225 < /mnt/dvd/VOB_FILENAME \ | extract_mpeg2 | mpeg2dec - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/ http://www.eff.org/ http://www.anti-dmca.org/ _______________________________________________ Spooks mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations
