The NWS has decided to be Orpah....you get a flood...you get a flood....EVERYBODY gets a flood!

It was too long to read...good grief.

Western New England and much of eastern New York for areas mainly along and east of the Hudson Valley.

ATTENTION ALL INTERCEPT OPERATORS!

Crypto Transmission from KPH!

The MHRS in cooperation with our good friends at the Cipher History Museum will send a coded message in 5-letter groups via the facilities of coast station KPH on Saturday July 22, 2023. The message will be encrypted using the famous Enigma code machine and is an authentic message sent by a U-boat in the North Atlantic in 1942.

All KPH listeners are invited to try their hand at receiving and decrypting the message. Certificates will be awarded for proof of successful decode, first to decode and use of original hardware.

You say your Enigma machine is a bit rusty? Perhaps it has slipped a cog? No problem, MRHS has you covered! Software simulations exist for the Enigma code machine. Click Here for an easy-to-use Enigma simulator. It is web-based, no download necessary.

➢Enigma

The Enigma was the Germans' most sophisticated coding machine for securely transmitting command and control messages via radio communications in WWII. It was considered so secure that it was used to encipher the most top-secret of messages.

The arrangement of Enigma's rotors and plugboard connections provided a unique series of letter substitutions which changed with each keystroke. The daily rotor order and the ring and plugboard settings to be used were specified in a codebook distributed monthly to all users of a network.

For additional information on the Enigma please see Ralph Simpsons' Cipher Museum

➢Crypto broadcast date, time and formats.

The crypto broadcast will commence at 2000 GMT (1300 Pacific) on 22 July on all KPH CW frequencies. The broadcast will consist of a 'call up' (in plain text) announcing the broadcast, followed by the cipher message. The call up and cipher messages will be sent at 15 WPM. The cipher message will be sent in 5 letter groups and the message will be sent twice to ensure proper reception.

The usual KPH channel marker or 'wheel' running at 20 WPM will precede the announcement for the crypto broadcast to give listeners a chance to tune to the strongest signal in their area.

The KPH CW frequencies are (in kc):

426 (after an announcement on 500)

6477.5

8642.0

12808.5

17016.8

22477.5

Upon completion of the CW transmissions, the broadcast will be repeated at 2015 GMT (1315 Pacific) on all KPH RTTY frequencies.

The RTTY transmission will be 170cps shift Baudot, 45 baud.

The KPH RTTY frequencies are (in kc):

6324.5

8427.0

12585.5

My theory is that cats and humans live in essentially different spacetime continuums. That is, by and large the world they see and their experience of time is not the same as the world we see and our experience of time, but there are Twilight Zoney intersections and overlaps in places where we can and do interact and both benefit as a result.

What did you do today? I got to teach the First Lady of the United States how to Solder.

#NWSLosAngeles: "The upcoming heat wave continues to be the number one weather story. A potent heat ridge will build in from the east Thursday into Friday, possibly sporting 500 mb heights nearing those from the most recent heat wave....Dangerous heat with high temperatures up to 110 is possible as early as Friday for interior valleys (i.e. Salinas and
Cuyama valleys)" #heatwave #CAwx mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/a

I think I'm the only Mastodon user in the State of West Virginia.

Prove me wrong.

It's fun that some folks think a secret group of rich people control everything instead of the widely known group of rich people who control everything.

Dear journalists: Twitter is now the platform of choice for right-wing extremists -- a platform where they are welcomed, promoted, and even in some cases paid by Musk's site.

Why, when there are real alternatives, is it still your site?

Notice how every time there's a labor strike, you see countless articles with headlines like "UPS Strike Could Cost U.S. Economy Billions—Here’s How It Would Impact Consumers" and not by the accurate headline of "UPS's Executive's Greed Could Cost US Economy Billions".
