Scott,

Even if it is encrypted it will still print as text.

The Ham stuff is so hard to copy because by the time you get it dialed in
the QSO is over.

Look in the international shortwave bands for some commercial stations.
When you get these you will get all numbers
12345 67890 12345 12345 12345  12345 67890 67890 12345 12345
12345 67890 12345 12345 12345  12345 67890 67890 12345 12345

line after line in exact format.
850 shift. 45 or 60 baud 5 bit one start two stop.

The numbers get used with a book.
you can translate over 200 languages with the book and the numbers.

These stations hang on for hours, have lots of power, and give you
time to get your controls set up.

After a few hours you can hear the difference between 45 and 60.
Most ever one uses 45. There is not a lot to say. and the slower
rate gets through with better copy.

I'll listen to a strong station around 10,130 kc,
and see if I can tune it and let you know
what I find, if anything.

Roger.
